Hey peeps....couple quick questions here. I flashed my X10 with the nordic 2.1 update....a post from bin4ry a while ago....i also rooted it with z4root and deleted some things. Now, im handing my X10 over to my fiancee to have but I wanna wipe my google account and all my info. If I just did a factory reset will the nordic 2.1 still load properly and will the phone still be rooted for her? And will the apps I removed still be gone?
Thanks!!!!

well, if u had flash the phone, i will restore back to original which means all data u previously have are wiped out.
it also means that rooting and app u once installed also wiped out.
if u did a backup using titanium, then the data still will exits in the sdcard in the form of titanium backup. so be sure the card formated.
sorry for my bad english
I have a similar q. I did the factory reset since my phone has to go to the service repair centre, but it still works mostly.
Anyway, I signed in with my google acc, and I want to remove it without having to do a factory reset again.
Where do you remove your google info in 2.1? I can't find it

I recently performed a nand restore from a custom Rom I didn't want to keep and now, everything I try to download from the marketplace fails. when you do a restore, do you need to factory wipe and dalvic wipe as well? sorry of this is a dumb question!

I had this problem and it may be for a completely different reason. I was uninstalling apps i don't use and I uninstalled Google talk. After some searching people who were having trouble downloading apps in the market fixed it by signing into google talk. I restored to a backup before i removed it and logged in and it worked fine.
Sometimes I have trouble d/l ing when I'm on wifi.

Me too. Whenever I am on wifi the download just hangs at "Starting" until I switch the wifi off. Im not sure if this is by design or not.
ugh this is really bugging me. I've done a factory and dalvic wipe and restored again and still cannot download off the marketplace. I'm at my wits end.
edit: I even did just a factory wipe with no restore and started from scratch and the marketplace still won't download. I'm stumped. maybe I should do the revert back to stock unrooted 1.5 and then root again. or maybe I should wipe then reflash the rooted 2.1. any suggestions? thanks!

Hello, I am having an issue with my droid 2. I have rooted it following all the instructions here. Since this phone is my GF's she has loaded all sorts of stuff on there, and now the phone is running slow, and burning through battery. We decided to do a factory reset on the unit.
after setting up her google account, all her old applications start flooding back in. how can i stop this? we want to have the phone with a clean slate.
we have tried deleting all the apps on the phone. rebooting, waiting then wiping as well. all these same apps come flooding in.
Any help will be appreciated.
Go through darkonion's sbf tutorial that will start you off from scratch.
will that remove root?, im not sure that would fix it tho, ive read around, and it appears like google has some sort of application backup and restore option. somehow that was turned on. and im not sure how to turn it off.
It will remove root but you can easily get root back with darkonion's one click root. Look in Settings>Privacy>uncheck Back up my data>uncheck Automatic restore and try a factory data reset.

one-click root
Yeah its a feature in froyo that its restoring all your apps in the my downloads folder of the market. If you have done a full wipe just open the my downloads folder and begin to uninstall apps, that should also break their chain to come back if you wipe again

Ive tried that, i guess ill have to keep battling it. the odd thing is my incredible does not even have this feature... maybe its the rom im using (Virtuous) but i dont see anything that even remotely looks like this.
the last thing we did was uninstall all the apps and wipe again, and they all came back. Maybe if i do it from the market, like you suggested. ive already disabled the backup and sync. i wish there was a more intuitive interface for this.
If it's not too much of a hassle just sbf the phone and make a new google account.

So i figured out a solution. I wiped her phone. and skipped adding a google account.
I then went to settings privacy, and i saw that backup my data was unchecked, but automatic restore was both greyed out, and checked.
i quickly enabled backup my data, then unchecked automatic restore, and backup my data (making it so everything was unchecked.)
I added her google account, and none of her apps came back. This was a pain to figure out, but not that bad of a work around now that i found it.
hopefully this helps someone who is having the same issue.
Hi there, new guy here. Last week I bought an evo from a guy and that same guy flashed over the evo to metro for me. So just like a lot of people here I am having some problems and I'm also looking for some advice.
First of all I don't know what rom he used... I know that I have superuser on the phone. The version of phone I have I believe I have is 2.2 (?)
Is superuser a flash, root, or rom? How would I find out which root I have? He didn't mention it to me. All he said was don't download any apps that require "superuser permissions"
Here is what is working-sms, youtube app, wifi, internet w/ and w/o wifi, market, email, gmail and yahoo, receive photos
And here is what is not - voicemail notification, mms, can't send photos, gps forces the phone to reset many times, so navigator/ maps causes reset. Not to mention that the phone will reset several times throughout every other day. Also getting the data error.
Called the guy and he said that he would reflash the evo for free this time. He also suggested doing a factory reset, that might fix the constant resetting I am having. I read online that some task manager apps can cause the phone to reset when gps is on.
Any help in all of the above is appreciated. Should I have him reflash it? Should I attempt this myself? Not knowing what rom I have right now is the hardest part for me right now.
Again thanks for the help.
ROM info is in the settings/about phone/software
To factory reset: settings/sd & phone storage
Superuser just let you give an app permission to access root or block it.
I would do the factory reset if your having reboots. More ROM info would probably help us out with your problem.

Im not 100% sure of.metro.pcs hack or wtv that they do for the Evo but that rom.has everything working download the metrodroid (latest version ) , put it in your sd card , go to recovery mode and wipe , data, dalvik, cache (this will erase all your data ) and then go to.choose flash zip, look for the zip flash and hopefully the works, root ia only one it should be fully root to run it in metro pcs and I recommend you to read different topics about what root is, have fun

ok thank you. I just did what you stated and found out that my rom is bugless beast to0Mod V0.1
Any other info is appreciated, I am thinking about installing the metrodroid rom like jgalan suggested however I am plum terrified about bricking my phone. As I have never done anything like this on a phone. Only xboxs etc.
Does anyone out there know about this romthat I have If it's truly V0.1 I'm assuming its hellllla old, but I dunno. Thanks again for all of the input.
One last question how full proof is the metrodroid rom? I was doing some reading about people still having issue with stuff that I already have working currently (sms, web etc). I just don't want to open another can of worms if I can avoid it. Thanks again.
Hey guys.
Big problem here.
So I decided to update my phone with Free X10 Froyo 2.2.1 Beta 4
Installed it. worked. hotfix worked fine too.
After that I installed X.HC for beta 4. Worked fine too.
So I wanted to recover my data i backup with xrecovery before installing.
After that I'm stuck with an endless rebooting process. I boots, crashes, boots again, crashes and so on.
While I was writing this I finally got into xrecovery, but it took me 30 times to get there.
So my question is... is there any way to restore my data? Do I have to recover the cache to? I just tried to recover the data part of the back up.
Thx!
Do not dare to restore data if you are changing android versions.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Use titanium backup for backup and restore apps and data, not xRecovery when updating/downgrading between Android versions.
Ahh okay. So I wont get my data back but I will use this the next time.
Thx
You can use your back up to restore your data, but make the full restore, not just data.
I have the same problem as mentioned above, just that I cant get into xRecovery and dont know what I should do. I tried a few methods but nothing worked so far.
If someone might know any sollution answer me in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14532797#post14532797
I'm thinking about selling my Streak to a friend. I'm also relatively new to Android, so I'm not sure how the Market apps transfer to a new device. What's the best way to ensure that my apps transfer to my new device without a problem?
A factory reset?
If I have manually removed items using Titanium backup, such as the Stage UI, will a factory reset fail?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Once u sign into the market it will have all your purchased apps. Do a factory reset on the phone before u sell it.

Selling your Streak? Say it ain't so! May I ask what you're replacing it with?

I went to sell my Streak 2 weeks ago, did factory reset and the phone got stuck in a loop, usual fixes wouldn't work so sent it back to dell and got a new one back a week later.
Sold my Desire HD instead and kept the dell

If you have made many alterations/modding to be safe I would flash a stock ROM with the stock recovery. This is the equivalent of a factory reset and the phone will have to be set up from scratch. If the person you are selling to wants a custom rom flash the stock ROM the custom ROM is based on and then flash the custom ROM.
Your Android Market apps will follow your gmail account. Set up your new phone with that account and your paid apps will be shown in the market on the new phone. You can also turn on the setting to back up your data to Google on the old phone and let that sync before wiping/flashing it. Your data is supposed to be restored when you set up the new phone and reinstall the apps. I would sync your old phone and restore your new phone while connected to WiFi.
Go to Settings->Privacy
select Back up my data and Automatic restore
Thanks for the help. I'm debating switching to a Galaxy SII at this point.
