rooted/format phone

So since my coming here, i got the phone rooted and added a sense rom to it from virtous version 1.0.1, also its over clocked a lil bit
now the phone was never right since the get go with this... but what im wondering is if i do a factory reset, what will happen? since i didnt save any image before, and have nothing to revert back too.... will it revert back to the stock htc desire z rom, or will it just reset back to a proper version of the virtous rom??
i only ask , cause so far my internet still doesnt work well, my bluetooth is always dropping calls, my market still doesnt work etc.....
any help/info would be great
Cheers all

If you wipe data/factory reset it will revert back to.... nothing. And stay and the HTC screen. Just DLa new ROM and flash through recovery(CWM). After you wipe data/factory rest... before you reboot.
I'm really digging meXdroidMod right now give it a try. (No sense though)

Don't forget to wipe your dalvic cache aswell.

Actually, I thought a factory reset simply wiped your data and cache partitions (so you lose all of your downloaded apps as well as all phone settings). Everything else should be left untouched (as in the phone will boot back to Virtuous 1.0.1 as if it were freshly installed).
Also, the dalvik-cache is stored on the data partition (unless you or the ROM you are using decided to move it), so wiping data will wipe it anyway.

ummm ok so which is the correct one here... i was under the impression that the last post here is what would happen... it would revert to a fresh installed Virtuous rom....
I know the problems im having must be from me not doing a full wipe when i installed it... i just needed to back up some stuff before i was able to do that,
but since i have done all that, I can clean the phone and start fresh, to hope all my stuff will work...
but can someone pls confirm which is the right information here

On my g2 when I did a wipe it went back to the stock rom that's on the g2 perm rooted I can't say for your phone though the best thing is to download a new rom system and cache wipe and then install a new rom

Factory reset only wipes the applications/personal data. The system partition (whatever rom you installed) stays there and it'll just reboot as if it was the first time ever.
So if you have a rooted stock rom, it'll go back to how you got it (probably non-rooted) and if you have any version of virtuous that'll still be there etc and will boot like the first time.
Factory reset also DOESN'T touch the bootloader, radio, radio, s-on/s-off or anything else, just the user data. Hope this helps to clarify!

yes it does, im hoping this will fix all the problems im having with my phone....
and just to confirm, a factory reset with the virturous rom installed, will reset my phone to the way the rom is ment to me, with zero possible overlaps from not doing a wipe when i upgraded??
So a "fresh" copy of the virtuous rom will be in place, and it will be like a brand new phone again.... then i just re add everything i need too/want too

Restoring to factory settings

I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and got s-off on my wildfire s. I would like to sell the phone, but don't want my Google account on it. It's still running the stock OS but has cwm recovery on it. Will I brick it if I try to restore to factory settings? If so, is there a ROM of stock MetroPCS wildfire s I can download to just flash over it?

You can factory reset no problem, or in clockwork recovery wipe data/factory reset, the wipe cache, then finally under advance wipe dalvik.
Then when you reboot it will bring up the setup wizard like a new phone.
Then switch off and give your phone to the new owner.

factory reset in bootloader

can anyone explain what the factory reset option in the bootloader do to your phone?if does it revert back to stock rom if i'm on a custom rom? or it just wipe user data like CMW do?

I think its do same factory reset as CWM, but i think if you already flashed CWM that factory reset on bootloader not work.

They are the same they just wipe certain partitions

[Q] Bricked?!

Everytime i flash a rom it stucks on bootloop, ive tested the right kernel+rom. I think ive bricked it, how can i fix this?!

Did you do the ota update? What's your hboot?

This is probably a stupid question but, have you wiped all partitions system, data, dalvik, cache, factory reset, and tried to flash a stock rom. My HTC Thunderbolt did the same thing last year and i did all the above then factory reset again after flashing the stock GB rom without leaving out of recovery. Then rebooted and i was back to flashing custom roms in no time. Hope this helps you out. Its kind of hard to brick a High Tech Computer. Unless, you've restored the wrong qcn file with QPST.....Thats how I flashed my HTC Touch Pro 2 to paperweight mode. Pretty pretty paperweight with a full qwerty keyboard. :laugh:

Idk if I ota updated,
Hboot: 1.18

[Q] How to factory rest One X with custom rom?

Hi,
I am selling my HTC One X with ARHD 20.1 on it but I want to do a factory reset. To clarify I want to keep ARHD but I want to delete all my data so the new owner can start with an 'empty' phone.
Thx

I would just do a clean install. Copy the rom to the phone and do a full wipe in the recovery and install the rom again

Is a there no way to factory reset the phone through the custom recovery? I don't have the rom anymore and I don't want to spent much time on it.

Well you can try a normal factory reset via the bootloader, but in a slight case the chance exist that it won't boot anymore. Or check if I'm the settings menu to reset the phone/rom
