Hey guys....it`s been awhile.
i`m trying to reset my Dash to factory settings to sell.I`ve tried both ways. hold soft keys,press power button for 1-2 seconds,i get the white letterings saying personal data will be lost,and will reset to manufacturer default.press send to restore manufacturer default.it goes thru its thing....(preparing your device,please wait.....) it goes thru cold boot config. when it restarts, it`s back to 3vo series rom.i`ve done the start/accessories/clear storage/1234/yes.
still same thing........weird....does the sim card need to be in phone to hard reset?
the hard reset does not remove the installed rom just the data to but it back to the default rom you must reflash said rom. the standard roms are in the wiki i think but sont qupte me. failing that they should be around on the forum somewhere so search and you'll find them. hope this helps
Stock ROMs in F.A.Q as paradox1985 states a hard-reset will only take you back to the base of flashed ROM not all the way back to stock.
Excellent .....thanks for your help.
I've been having a problem with my GN where the noise cancellation just isn't working. Rather than cancel background noise, the device will cut off all the sound so I can't hear the person I'm talking to and they can't hear me.
I called Sammy support and they have told me to put in the code: *2767*3855# to reset the phone.
I have rooted my device and done multiple factory resets, and wiped the data on my phone and everything. Will this code do something different, or am I just going to be wasting my time?
Flash the stock image for your phone. Flashing wipes everything and starts over, including corrupted system files. Tutorials abound for how to do that. Make sure to back up the virtual SD card on to your PC first.
I've definitely done that and it didn't help the sound issue. As long as the reset code won't do anything different than that, it looks like I have to send my phone in for service.
Yeah, if a stock image flash won't fix it, it's not software related. It's either hardware or (occasionally) network.
All right, thanks. I guess I'll backup everything, re-lock and reset it and send it off for help.
okay so I have a samsung galaxy s3, I updated to Android 4.3 through AT&T and my phone has been giving me problems ever since. could someone please tell me what options do I have to fix this thing? Right now I have downloads that keep coming in that have been completed months ago and my LED flash also comes on when my phone rings. I havent done any flashing or rooting since about 2 years ago with my AT&T Tilt 2. I just felt like this phone didnt need it. I've read some other articles that say if you try to root an AT&T SGS3 that it will brick after this cripling update to android 4.3. But it's just fine to do it wit other carrier smartphones. It doesnt seem like there are any fixes on the horizon, so I feel like i need to take matters into my own hands. Please help.
I'm assuming you already tried a factory reset? But as far as rooting though I don't think it's possible currently if you did the ota update. Whatever you do don't try to Odin back though, you'll hard brick.

I'm not sure if i've tried a factory reset. The only reset i've done is the option they give you when you hold the button on the upper right hand side of the phone. Where is the factory resetet option? Also, should I backup my information before I do this factory reset.

boot into recovery to clear the cache first and then try a factory reset if that does not work.
I have read of this continual download bug, but do not have it myself
If you can connect to KIES, you can back stuff up easily , but I'd just backup contacts and stuff and reinstall the apps. Yes, a factory reset will wipe your apps and contacts, but it should leave your pics in the card and in the phone alone.. back em up just in case.
Hi all!
I was wondering how is factory reset protection working on the OP3. If the phone is unlocked, does it ask for the Google Account's password once you go to "Backup & Restore" and select a factory reset? I think this has become a standard by now, but I just want to make sure.
Also, what about factory reset from bootloader? Is it possible to factory reset the phone WITHOUT connecting it to a pc? I know it is totally possible to do it via fastboot commands, but I want to know if it's possible to reset it cable-free.
If my phone is stolen, I'll be glad to know the thief must be at least a little savvy in order to use/resell it.
I am bumping this after 1 day as I have received no answers yet. I hope that someone may be able to answer me. Thanks in advance!
Ps: this is the first and last time I bump this. I am against forum spam, but I feel like I have posted my original question in a bad time for people to read it.
Hi everyone I had an unfortunate problem with my new Samsung Galaxy A72 and it is the following: Since I don't have a PC,
I can't get the phone into recovery mode for the moment to perform a "hard" reset and clean up the phone.
Is there a way to go into recovery without a PC or is it mandatory? Thanks to those who can give me an explanation.
If you are unrooted, the only way to reboot to recovery is with a PC. I think you can perform a hard reset within the settings in General management.

Thanks for the reply however, it is absurd that Samsung forces me to have a PC to do a Hard Reset since now I also do not have one.
They do everything to complicate life...you could do a soft reset from settings but it wasn't what i wanted.
Hello and thanks again for the explanation.

You are correct, Samsung does some questionable things and this is no exception.
By the way, the reset from settings is pretty much the same as if you did it from recovery since all it's going to do is delete the data partition without media (I think, can't remember). I believe when you do it from the settings, it reboots to recovery and wipes from there anyway so it's pretty much the same thing. I really don't know what you mean with a "hard" and "soft" reset though.
I would consider a "hard" reset as formatting not only data but also system and the rest of the partitions, which can only be done with either a custom recovery or doing it with Odin (which requires a PC)

hello thanks for the reply.
If I remember correctly the soft reset from settings ago (reset or reset settings), hard reset instead from stock recovery
wipe cache and data and dalvik ... I think
And having no PC for now I will do the one from settings, too bad, but this samsung puts a lot of difficulties every year,
worse then it will also be the fault of Android 11 I don't know.
