if i do a hard reset will i have to re update my rom to get telenav?
I believe a hard reset only resets the os, not the rom version. I think the rom update is like flashing the chips, while a hard reset just reverts to the original setup (whatever rom you're running).

Hi,
Iv'e been wondering when it is best to do a hard reset, before or after you flash a new cooked ROM?
What are your thoughts on this?
i usually do an hard reset before and after
so the new ROM will be installed on a fresh system.
this is just my own way
The times I have done wipe/factory reset I have ended up with many files still on my phone from the previous rom, even flashing from one rom to another how do I truly get a factory like reset with it? reformat both the internal and external sdcards?
i have a friend who did the OTA gingebread update, he didn't know any better....
I'm pretty good with rooting and I know there's no update or way to do it yet for that (GB), but if he did a factory reset does that revert back to the old OS? Or does it keep the current OS?
Thought we'd check before hand and this is the only place I could think of to come and ask.
Doing a factory reset only deletes ALL data on the phone; it keeps the current firmware, ie, he'll still be on gingerbread.
My phone is getting old, and because of that some problems are emerging with age.
It turns out that whenever my phone starts to behave in an unsatisfactory way, I do a factory reset.
My question is, what is best, do a factory reset or reflash the rom? Or there isn't any difference? I'm on stock 4.4.4, without root or custom recovery (I like Android this way ) and never unlocked the device.
Would a fresh install solve occasional problems caused by the OTAs?
Sorry for the bad english.
If you haven't gotten your answer already, the best method to reset your phone to fix various issues is to factory reset your phone. This returns it to the complete default state of software, where all apps should be working. Flash a rom simply replaces the system partition with the system partition of the rom, and thus is not as complete as a factory reset.
Basically, if you're having issues with a stock rom, just factory reset it and it will get rid of most, if not all, issues.
Hello,
my LG G6 phone in the last months is getting very slow, especially when the battery is very low, under 20%.
I want to factory reset it, I have no custom rom, just stock firmare.
I tried to flash H87020h_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0110.kdz with the REFURBISH option but it does not allow me.
Is there any gain to reflash it or should I just do a hard reset?
You do not need to reflash anything. Just go into the settings and choose factory reset.
