How do you factory reset this phone? I am selling mine as a parts phone and I would like to know how to completely whipe it. I've got most cleaned out but theres some stuff I cant get. My Old touch pro you could hold 3 buttons and bam, reset. Is that so with a EVO?
Thanks!
Let Me Google That For You!
I believe this thread can now be closed....

Heres another good tweet
"RatedR1882: “@O2: Great news for our Dell Streak owners – the 2.2 Froyo update is coming this week!” *tumbleweed* #iPadftw #flamebait #justkidding"

I think his exact words were 'should be wednesday 15th, i will keep you all informed', i tweeted him back saying 'if it's know better than the official 2.2 ota do us all a favour and don't bother' haven't heard nothing since
And today is December 15 and there's no sign of it here yet ...

I can get it, but i don't want it, got to laugh at irony
Downloading it now, cross your fingers.
or not...
Seem to be stuck in a loop on backup my data.
/edit cured that, you have to press Back from the download and backup screen, then you can choose to continue with the update.
/edit 2 which also fails on 404 file not found...
/edit 3 you need to use the stock browser...
I got it but how do I root it lol.

Universal Androot worked on 2.1
SuperOneClick Root works on 2.2 318 so that would be the first one i would try on 02 319
Just update it. But the tough screen become sticky . Do i need to hack the property setting as 2.1?

World of Warcraft Android Authenticator problem
Yes, I made the mistake I never thought I would. I installed the Authenticator on my old Eclair ROM and attached it to my account. I flashed and brought my phone up to speed with DK28 and the Froyoness must have gone to my head because I forgot that I should've disattached the Authenticator first. I am now unable to log in to my Battle.net or WoW account. I am also waiting till Mammon pushes out the latest version of his ROM before I redownload the authenticator. Can I just redownload it to my phone again ? Or will I have to contact Blizzard about this ? Any help is appreciated thanx !
Contact blizz. Its not hard. I wiped my phone once without thinking about my authenticator and almost missed a lk raid rofl

Definitely call them, it will get fixed in 15 minutes vs weeks via email. Just tell them you had to do a hard reset on your phone and forgot to disable the authenticator first. Make sure you have one of your cd keys so they can make sure its realy your account. I didn't and they were still able to authenticate that I owned the account through my payment info and a discription of some of my main characters so it definitely best to call them

Just emailed tech support, hoping for this to get resolved soon
Will call in the morning
Thanx everyone !
Did that once, faster if you call them and take it off, all they need is your original can key when you started WoW

This is half the reason I reason I make cw backups lol. Not sure where blizzard stores the esn of the authenticator but titanium doesn't store it.
Just call. It's a 30 minute wait for a 2 min call. I've never forgotten since lol

The worst thing is that since I'm a flash whore I just took the authenticator off and when you take it off you lose your core hound pup companion pet

I restore mine all the time with Titanium (data only) no problems.

Was this after a full data wipe? Because it has been confirmed that titanium doesn't store the esn for the authenticator. It is stored elsewhere in the system data.

Yeah, I just did it yesterday updating to the latest Nebula ROM. 3x wipe of data/cache/dalvik. I even did it a few weeks back on a freshly rooted new phone when my original was replaced for bad battery contacts.
I just download the app again from the market then restore data only from Titanium.
I would recommend keeping the serial number somewhere else safe though. From experience when I had the key fob authenticator, Blizzard is easier to deal with when you can give them the number.

Calling is definitely faster. I've managed to recover my account twice when flashing a ROM and forgetting that it would wipe out the authenticator. Just try and remember to remove it manually next time, saves so much hassle.
Call them though, email is not effective
I need to know a convincing argument to get him to not be pissed. I actually got my phone from him and it was under warranty, I was just sick of not being able to do everything I want to.
Can you guys help me out?
hahaha nice...
just tell him you can always unroot if needed
If or when it screws up, flash the official HTC RUU and then it's back to normal. They don't know if it's rooted or not, if they want to see it flash the RUU.

If he is worried about the warranty, you can always go back to the Spring software by running the RUU from the Sprint/HTC website and the phone will return to the Out-of-Box state... so no worries there.
On the other hand, install a custom ROM (aospCMod) and show him the difference on what all you can do with the phone... as compared to the Sprint software.

Your question has already been answered, just run the RUU to get it back to factory state and magically the warranty's back in effect. What exactly is he pissed about? It's kind of hard to help you devise some type of argument if we don't really know what he's saying since you can undo what's been done. Hmmm...maybe try telling him to stop being such a girl about things and grow a set(no offence to any hermaphrodites who've rooted their phones). If he/she doesn't, refer to my previous drunk post

Tell your Dad that when you master new technology, you are improving your skills and knowledge so that you will be able to secure a well paying job. Tell him that when you do secure that job, YOU will buy HIM a nice new phone!
Try this, used to shut my dad up and leave him pissed with this one:
"When you can explain what I've done wrong and why its wrong, you're a good parent. If you can't explain what I've done wrong you're probably just feeling threatened by my intelligence and natural talents."

run the ruu, show him it is all back to normal, then flash whatever you want, but this time don't tell him about it.
I thought I answered it in the second post? Lol.

I had someone try to break into a property that I own and they dropped their phone which happens to be a Samsung epic 4g obviously, my question is I wanted to find out who this person is by going through their phone but its password locked. Is there a way I can by pass the lock screen somehow without resetting the device?

You could get them clockworkmod 5 through odin, root them through it, then backup their phone, then flash a ROM and then you could go through there SD card for maybe some more evidence...
Sorry I can't post any links on how to, I'm in the middle of a class right now actually lol hopefully someone will be able to though. If they don't, ill be sure to later for most help on this stuff though you can just go to QBKING77 on youtube, he'll show you how to do all things on the Epic.
I'd take the ESN and call Sprint, tell them someone lost their phone and ask them to tell you the owner/address so you can return the phone. Then call the police and give them the info. Or just get the police involved now. Playing detective can be fun and all, but its almost always best to just contact the cops and let them handle it.
However, academically:
If you want to read the contents of the SD Card, just remove it an put it in a card reader...lol.
Now if you wanted to actually get into "their stuff" e.g. e-mail, sms. You'd need to do some more work as noted above. I think you could make a backup of their data in CWM and then purchase titanium backup pro to restore app+data or data only of their info.
Yup odin cm5 then back up, advanced restore data. Bingo

isn't there an ADB command to unlock the screen? I wonder if it still works if it is a password protected lock screen.
