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?

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).
My DX is possessed. Seriously though... the screen becomes unresponsive, random buttons are being pushed without the screen being touched, massive amounts of lag.... I have to reset the phone 4 or 5 times a day on average, sometimes more. I recently installed the GB leak but it was doing the same thing on Liberty 1.5 & the IncerdibleDoes Rom from Chingy.
Its driving me nuts! Help?!
Do a factory wipe on it. I had some wonkiness, as well, but doing a hard reset cleared it up for me.
Doing a factory wipe requires a SBF/RSD right? If it does I have no idea what that means...
If you created a nandroid backup before you flashed the roms, then restoring it should help. You could also do a hard reset or flash maderstock (the zip should be around the forums somewhere). Before you flash anything, you should do a wipe data/factory reset through clockwork. If you don't, you will likely have some problems.
I am about to do a Hard Reset, Factory reset on my HTC HD2, that I currently run Android with the SD card. I asked once before, but I just want to be sure after the factory reset, I should be able to boot up into Android using the SD card again.
Is there any reason why I should have any issues?
Thanks in advance.......

The sd card files arent touched during a factory reset. what are you doing a factory reset of?
+1 What's the reason for the Hard Reset ????

i wanted to change to another gmail user so Yes i did a reset BUT when it booted it was still the same using miui SD
so the hard reset will only work for NAND Roms?
thanks for all the replies.
The reason for the Hard Reset is that my GPS isn't working like it used to and other apps are also not working right, and before I did the Android with the SD card, I would hard reset, and every thing was fine after that, so I want to be sure the Android part doesn't get screwed up.
I do plan to take the SD card out before the Hard Reset....
Thanks again....!

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.
I factory reset it and it stay pops up constantly!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?!? Im willing to try anything. Ive tried all the ones on youtube with the "solution" but it does not work.
I am also running stock too
I also have this problem. Phone is stock, no mods
Is there a way to restore the phone without the built in factory reset?
I think the recovery files built into the phone may be corrupt...
Tried a factory reset and it didn't work

Hey there! I fixed this problem by actually rooting my phone! It went away right when I rooted it. It seems that it cleared the cache.
