How can i reset my device - Acer Iconia A500

Hi,
I rooted my device because mine was not accepting many market apps. But after i rooted it and tried using market enabler, the market app has started crashing with com.process.vendee and now even when i wanted to unroot the gingerbreak apps is also crashing although it gives super user permissions.
Any idea what to do? I am still stuck at HC 3.0.1. Will a factory reset take it back to factory settings i.e the way it was when i purchased it. Is it like pressing reset button or something else.
pl advise?

Settings -->>PRIVACY -->> .... etc
or this:

Thanks. sorry for missing such simple thing

Apps self close after update to JH2

I have Bell's Galaxy S only unlocked but no any patch installed on it. I updated to JH2 because I wanted to have the 3 buttons recovery just in case. But after the update some apps opens and close right after. Also gmail downloads emails, but when I try to read it it brings me back to the list of all emails. I did do recovery mode, but no luck. Samsung customer supports sends for repair. I do not want to be for 3 weeks with no phone. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
try clearing the cache
you might have some conflicting settings left from the previous ROM
you can either boot into recovery mode with the 3 buttons combo
or you can download this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8187376&postcount=63
and it will clean it for you
I did try the recovery mode with the 3 buttons menu options but no luck with it. It is the same ofter a recovery. The cacheclener is only for rooted phones, and mine is not rooted. Do you think there is something elese left to explorer?
Thanks
Any help about this priblem?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
why not root the phone?
it's safe to root the phone
I rooted the phone and installed cachecleaner from market and ran it. Still the same problem. Even when I try to opne AppBrain it closes right after. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks a lot.
I tried factory format and reset with this codes *2767*3855# and it is the same.
the next best thing to try is to go into the Recovery Mode, and select the option to Wipe Data
see if it works properly after a flesh start.
Already done.....same problem. I guess I am running out of options. Is there a way to reinstall JH2?

[Q] [NST] Rooted, Factory Reseted then updated v1.1 now what?

I rooted my nook with my touch nooter when it has first arrived 3 months ago.
I've never bothered to update v.1.01 but now with release of v.1.1 I give it a go,
I've done 8'th failed boot type factory reset then installed the v.1.1
The thing I'm puzzled about is I still have the Go Launcher EX, Dropbox and other apps I've installed prior to reset and v.1.1 same time. But there is no market, and device settings as of an android device.
It's not rooted but still the major app "dropbox" and other pdf readers stays.
Is this a violation of any kind?
You need to do an L+R reset in order to get rid of all that stuff, which is under /data, as well as your settings. Turn on the nook, and then when it starts to turn on, hold the bottom page turn buttons on each side of the nook until it asks you to do a factory reset. Click the home button twice, and the reset will commence. Once you're done, you'll have to re-register your nook, but unless you changed something outside of /system and /data, I think you'll be golden.
Try talking to ros87; he's been extremely helpful and unobnoxious, in spite of my obvious n00bness

Factory Restore only restores the system files, it doesn't wipe your /data and that is why you still have your apps.
The Google apps resides in a different place (/system/app) and is therefore normally lost on Restore.
Use the method outlined above or simply go into Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device which will remove all apps, data and settings for you.
Well, I'm happy that I have them,
After I've sent prior message I've used touch nooter as GabrialDestruir's suggested method, using prior data to root:
"If you're pre-1.1 rooted this SHOULD work:
Run a Factory Restore to wipe /system only - 8 failed boots, or nookRestore image
Run the 1.1 update as is from B&N
Open TouchNooter and remove framework.jar from the TouchNooter disk
Run TouchNooter without 1.0.1 TouchNooter
Go through all steps for Market/Gmail/Youtube
You SHOULD be rooted with working market now"
Now I have SUPER USER, gmail app starts recieves mail but force closes , youtube app worked for sometime after re-installing the app but now it forcecloses....
Market and the market search however works.
Button Saviour and all works either.
Now I got a rooted nook 1.1 I think...

Glad you got it solved mate
New TouchNooter is also right around the corner, maybe that will fix your FC troubles with gmail and youtube.

thanks for your reply. but I can't even launch the market app. as it close with forced close error.
the device is dead. it can boot normally. but every and each app is closing with application error.
I can't even perform factory reset. as it doesn't seem to do anything.
I can't install any apps from google play as it is crashing.
hard reset not working too.

[Q] Firmware update issues

I started setting up my Mojo, followed the steps to update the firmware, root, etc...
I noticed after the firmware update that I could no longer open the Tegrazone app or the Software Upgrade app (it gives me the "Unfortunately, [app] has stopped." error). Okay, weird, but I thought I would continue with the steps (my reasoning being that there was probably an update or something needed).
After getting everything rooted, updated, and lookin' good, I decided I'd check out the Tegrazone again; I still can't open it. This also happens with the Software Upgrade app - and since it is what I was directed to use to update the firmware, I can't try downgrading or re-flashing. (This also happened with Chrome when I had it installed, and the Play Music app.)
I decided I would do a factory reset - maybe I just installed something that was being weird. After doing a factory reset, signing in to my google account, I immediately tried the trouble apps again; same result.
So another factory reset, this time I didn't sign into google account or connect to wifi at all. Tried the apps; same result again.
So with it in factory default mode, the only change being that the firmware is updated to MO0202-WW, it would seem to be something caused by the firmware update.
I am kind of out of ideas; can I re-update the firmware over usb from my pc? I'm comfortable doing so, but I haven't been able to find any sort of guide or direction on what I should do from here. Should I even bother doing that? Is it possible that the non-working apps were corrupted (and for some reason a factory reset didn't restore their .apks)?
If anyone can give me any ideas or direction I'm willing to try. In the meantime I'm going to reset and root again.

quick question, everytime you factory reset. does it still maintain your root? maybe its not clearing everything. If i were you i would install titanium backup pro, delete tegrazone and reinstall it.

The root isn't maintained; I have to re-root after a factory reset. (How is using titanium backup going to help me? I've never used it.)
I've also thought about just deleting tegrazone and reinstalling it; the TLDR: have to remove it manually and sideload the .apk. Annoying. But I may try that.
In a similar vein; can anyone send me the Software Upgrade .apk?

Stuck on 'Phone is starting' after updating to Android 12

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.
My phone is not rooted.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.
Have you tried to install a launcher?

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
