Hi all,
I regularly wipe my Android phone (for new roms), and everytime I have to factory reset my watch to get to Pair to it again.
Is there a way to do this without a factory reset?
Cheers

When I upgrade Roms on my phone I flash everything using fastboot except the userdata partition (userdata.img) and I've never had to re-pair my phone and watch. The only time I flash userdata is whaen upgrading from one major version to another (such as 5.x.x to 6.x.x). Even when I do that I can restore pretty much all of the settings by restoring my phone apps from Titanium Backup and resyncing the watch.

That doesn't help unfortunately... When I flash a new rom (or even just factory reset phone), watch no longer pairs unless I also factory reset watch. Cannot sync apps without connection
I've had the 360 since original release date, and 3 or 4 different mobile devices, always had this issue.

Hi Guys,
I have CID__001 in the UK and received the JB update this morning - great, I've been waiting for it for months, that's why I didn't bother rooting my phone like i did with my desire.
So my phone boots up and EVERYTHING keeps crashing. com.android.phone, android.process.acore, gapps, htc sync etc. Constant error messages, so i can't get rid of them to do anything. The SIM card won't prepare, the home screens never load so I can't access my apps, the battery is draining like crazy, I can't sync my contacts because sync crashes, I called the phone from my landline, the landline phone rang, but the HOX didn't. I also can't access my files on the phone through the computer, the computer recognises it's there, but when i click on it it says 0 files. I don't have a backup, but if i have to lose them to get my phone working, so be it. It's completely messed up.
I have rebooted several times, also in safe mode, but it always happens. I also tried running the RUU because I now have HBOOT 1.36 but it told me it was the wrong RUU and wouldn't update.
I wanted to copy the update file onto the external storage and rename it update.zip so I could flash it from recovery, but i can't access the files through the phone or the computer so that was a bust.
I cleared the cache from the recovery menu, still no joy.
I haven't done a factory reset yet, because I don't want to lose everything and I don't think it would work if I get all the crashes in safe mode.
I need some help, I've got some experience rooting/flashing etc, I did it a lot on my desire, but I am stuck here. I'd like to be able to fix it myself, as all HTC will do is send me a refurbished phone, charge me for the pleasure and I'll lose my data anyway.
My bootloader is unlocked, but I never rooted or flashed anything on it, it was purely stock with an unlocked bootloader.
Any suggestions? I really don't know where to go from here. Typical that I didn't meddle with my phone so I could have the official update and it messes up my phone.
Have you got stock recovery or custom?

stock
Could be you need a factory reset which is what i would do.
Yep, its gonna have to be a factory reset, if it still don't work contact HTC clearly a fault of theirs, cant see how unlocked bootloader can play a part..
Are you 100% its stock coz you can't clear cache from stock recovery... You need custom recovery.

Factory reset worked
Yes, my recovery is definitely stock. There aren't many options, but erase cache is one of them.
Factory reset worked. I have lost everything, had to reset from the fastboot screen (not sure what it's called) because it would not work from the phone settings - whatever was necessary to factory reset my phone kept crashing. Resetting from there also formatted my external storage, all my photos and music and everything are gone.
Really annoyed at HTC right now. I waited patiently for months, could have easily rooted and flashed a custom JB ROM but I waited and their update has caused me to lose everything.
Does anyone know why this would have happened or have heard of it happening to other people?
On the up-side...Jelly Bean is now rolling out in the UK!

probably there was a problem with some other apps on the phone, so maybie that wasn't htc fault. But wasn't mass storage working? If yes you could backup everything before doing factory reset.

My phone showed up under my computer, but when I tried to access it, it said 0 files...I tried. Failed, but tried.
Long story made short, I upgraded to 4.3 after switching over to AT&T and fell quickly in love with the selective privacy app. However, my battery would only last about fifteen seconds (exaggeration) so I upgraded again to 4.4.2 without performing due diligence. As you all well know, Google took away the privacy app. So I took the next logical step and rooted my phone (TowelRoot rocks!) and added xPrivacy.
My problem now is an extremely sluggish phone. Would this be due to the upgrade (4.4.2) or the root process? Would it make more sense to downgrade or flash a custom ROM?
Root should have no effect on performance at all. Its more likely that there is some data from a previous build causing a process to hang.
I would factory reset and start over clean. Only restore essential data.
You can also use Better Battery Stats. Find it here on xda. Great app for solving battery problems.

I think I can't see the forest for all the trees. Is a factory reset done through the phone itself? (i.e. Settings->Accounts->Backup and reset->Factory data reset) Or are you referring to finding the proper ROM and flashing through Odin?

You can do a wipe of the cache and data via recovery. Factory reset via the phone should work too.
Factory resetting from Settings actually just reboots recovery and performs it from there. So doing it either way will net the same result. And yes, thats the factory reset I was referring to.
Note, if stock recovery is on the device, factory reset formats the data partition, so ALL apps and data are wiped. If custom recovery is installed, it instead will selectively delete everything but your Internal SD Card, preserving any data you have stored there. Either way, always have a current backup.
Hello everyone.
So I recently attempted flashing my CN ZF2 to WW and I followed the steps and everything from the Official Guide Here. Once I was done with the command prompts on ADB I unplugged my phone and restarted it. Once I plugged it back in I realized that my computer wouldn't recognize my phone. I restarted my computer and reinstalled input drives but I would still get no response. I even realized that I couldn't even take the phone off USB debugging. Every time I would try unchecking it from the settings menu the phone would automatically reset itself.
I thought I followed all the steps correctly, but obviously my phone is acting a lot different now and I really need someone to lend me some help. Thank you.

I'm trying to avoid factory resetting since it's quite a hassle setting everything up again on the CN model. Although, if there are no other options left I will most likely resort to it.

Just to be clear (based on above), a factory reset will not revert your device back to CN. It's a misconception, only because a typical user is not meant to tinker with system functions. The system is modified to WW, and there is no flip-of-a-switch to go back.
Rather, a factory reset will just wipe your cache and userdata (so you will need to set your apps back up again).

I am aware, but thank you. I never successfully flashed my phone to WW so a hard reset will still revert it to it's original CN settings.
You could try just clearing your cache from recovery to see if that helps. Just be aware it takes ages and will appear to be doing nothing so whatever you do don't try and power off the phone because you think it is stuck.
BTW why do you want to convert to WW? You can root, unlock boot loader, flash TWRP , change kernel, install xposed, install playstore etc on the CN firmware.

yup. pretty sure. factory reset only clear up system data. it will leave pictures and other data in internal memory intact since there are no option to wipe internal memory in stock recovery
I managed to reinstall the update using Odin
unfortunately, i didn't wait enough for it to load and i factory reset the device, too
it loaded after a while
success and failure
if you had the same problem wait a little more ...
How long did it take you to load MM 6.01? Mine kept flashing SAMSUNG at me for over an hour. I gave up and reflashed Lollipop. I haven't tried a reset yet.
an hour is to long. top to wait for 15 minutes

I have even waited for several hours in the OTA update.
fisrt and foremost backup everything!
then update using last version of Odin and this file:
http://dl.downloadrom.ir/samsung/T805_Germany_6.0.1_downloadrom.ir.zip
(it is official)
then wait for 15-30 mins
if it didnt load then do the factory reset. it will hopefully load in less than 15 mins.
I am using Dr.fone to restore my data. I hope it works

All my data was wiped. nothing remained. BTW I knew that you were incorrect. Thanks anyway
is there a safe way to root and unroot my device without voiding my licence ?
Samsung provide a solution to back up before upgrade. Its called Smartswitch mobile available on play.
Allows to backup everything to sd card and restore.
Hi, I'm aware that several people have issues with the new pie rom.
Unfortunately, I have a problem that I haven't seen before on the forum:
It takes like a full 5 sec to call somebody and the same to end it.
It's very frustrating because I never know how to react in this situation (did he heard? Etc...)
I don't want to factory reset and I got everything stock.
Anyone has an idea on how to fix this?
Can I wipe cache with the stock recovery? Maybe install an other phone app?
Thx
i am having issues in pie as well. i cant seem to transfer large files to the phone.doing so makes the phone restarts. i tried it 5 times or so. fhis update is not good
Only way to clear up issues is a clean factory image install if this was not done to begin with.
OK thanks...
Though I blindfully hope someone will be get some alternative has I don't want do execute such extreme solution

It's actually relatively painless. Apps restore automatically when you go through setup, calls and texts are restored, as well as system settings and WiFi networks. Takes me ~30 mins total, and maybe 5 of that is actually looking at the phone, the rest is letting it sync and restore backups automatically.
I was thinking about it doing a factory reset once the final came out but I've heard stories from fellow moviepass owners that are unable to use the app when switching phones. That would make a valid concern for factory resets as well. Not because of lag but I have noticed battery seems worse after the upgrade and wanted to factory reset to rule out. As I ran all the ota betas of pie a factory reset isn't a bad idea anyway.

Your device ID is tied to the app. When you factory reset and reinstall the app your device ID is reset. You can root using Magisk and then install Titanium Backup to backup the app and data, this will preserve the ID. i had to do this when switching ROMS.
