Halo everybody,
I'm going to sell my hero and would like to reset the device to the factory setting (incl. removing nandroid). Can I just use the official HTC update or is it more difficult to cover up my tracks?
Pio
just use the official 2.73 RUU and it should do it.
i need to sent my phone back for replacement , i need to get it back to stock i tried Stock nandroid restore but i have a problem its stuck on the My touch 4g screen
is there any other ways to get back to stock?
Hey guys I flashed my Omnia 7 to the latest 7.8 ROM that just came out, but had some stability issues and decided to go back to Tango, so I flashed it back to a factory Optus (my carrier) ROM and updated accordingly back to Tango.
I made a backup using WP7 easy backup before I did all of this and was wondering if there's a way to restore the phone to it. I've tried doing it via Zune but it just fails giving me error 801812E0.
Cheers
Hello, I rooted my handset yesterday following the tutorial on Android Forums, my Vodafone (UK) branded build is JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA
I also installed CWM PhilZ Touch 5 (v6.0.3.7)
It works fine inside the OS but occasionally, when I restart the phone, it just hangs on the Samsung Mobile logo?
When that happens, I have to hold the power button then hold Up+Home and boot into PhilZ and then go to Reboot System Now and that restarts the phone mostly back into Android as normal.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Good question. Haven't come accross something like that. I suggest flashing whatever ROM you want. It should get rid of your problem. If you still want a stable rom with all Samsung features, download Wanamlite 2.0 rom. It's a very good replacement for your stock rom. Or you can try Omege rom. It includes all samsung bloatware incl. S HEALTH etc.
Good luck and let us know! :thumbup:
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have used CWM to do a full data back up onto my SD card. As I'm new to rooting, is there a way I can restore that data onto a new rom so I don't have to keep setting up my phone completely? Even like, settings and shortcuts on the home screen etc?
Not really. What you can do is backup all your apps etsc with Titaniumbackup. With this you can restore all apps+data.
Setting up your phone isn't that bad considering its only settings.
Tha initial backup youve made through CWM is only a backup of your system. I dont think this includes all apps. I never revert to a previous rom. I prever a clean install to have the best rom exlerience without bugs etc.
If you try a new rom. And you dont like it at all(not likely) or for whatever reason you want to revert to you stock rom. You can restore it via CWM. Thats about the only reason why youve made that backup.
Good luck.
Oh yes, one more thing. Remember to press the Thanks button :thumbup:
Will that (Titanium) back up my apps exact settings as well? Say like my login details or custom settings I have changed within an app?
So the back up I made using CWM (which was complete data and apps and cache I think?) can restore my phone to exactly the instance when I pressed back up including the ROM?
To be honest, I'd be interested in the same Vodafone rom that's rooted so I can just use Titanium to freeze the bloatware, I've had a look at the recommended ROMs which have options to disable loads of Samsung bloatware but I use a lot of them...
So a while back I flashed a pre-rooted firmware from this thread. Everything was working flawlessly until I had to go back to a stock rom for some time. Then I flashed the pre-rooted one again only to find out that whenever I update or uninstall apps my phone just restarts. I haven't done any factory resets in between flashing the roms (I probably should have), so that might be the problem but I just want to make sure. One thing to add is that I can normally update/uninstall apps on the stock rom.
I can provide additional info if needed. Thanks for any kind of help.
Format it will be fixed
Factory reset your phone and the problem will be fixed
