That does not get rid of root access and that is something which can be detected by experts (if you're selling your phone to a shop). But if it is just a local buyer then factory reset would pretty much erase all the apps and your sms + phone list...

New ota update has anyone flashed?

Has anyone actually flashed the new ota that has come out on a stock non rooted device. I've seen that its floating around although I haven't seen any conformation that people have successfully flashed it and that it works.

Would like to know if it can be applied to a rooted iconia or if I should unroot first.

It's an incremental, not a full ROM. It should work fine rooted, but if you've altered, frozen, renamed or deleted ANY original files, it will fail.
See I haven't rooted at all and have the version 1.141.07 so it should be okay to update right? The worst thatll happen is it fails to install and I just go back to what I had before correct?

That is correct.
So just to confirm I wont lose my current data?

Not if you flash the FOTA when your tablet notifies you, no.
Ah I know that, I'm talking about flashing the one posted on the forums

It's a full ROM. When flashing a full ROM, it's always best to wipe data first. You can try without doing that; it might be fine, it might not.
Worst that can happen is you'd have to go back into recovery and wipe.
Do a backup first, a nandroid one in case you want to rollback, and a Titanium one for your apps and data for easy reinstallation.
Hmm, I thought the one on the forum was an incremental to 3.1?

Hi All
I've also got the system prompt to update to 1.141.07 (39.71MB). I have not rooted and have three numpty questions-
1.This I understand is not the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
2.Also I'm in the UK and got my Iconia in the USA- that does not have any effect on updating does it? I mean setting wise?- (dumb but I'm being very cautious!)
3.The Wifi issue people are having with this update is related to ROOTED tablets?
Cheers all
I was rooted and I flash the full from everything is working fine right now!

Just to clarify I'm not talking about flashing the leaked Chinese rom, but the ota released yesterday

unlocked desire z for at&t keeps rebooting

Since I bought my htc desire z unlocked I wanted opinions before I mess ith it since I have no warrenty through my provider. After I updated to 2.3 my htc sense kept restarting. And that was a while ago now my entire phone keeps freezing then reboot along with the sense issue. Htc says I need to factory reset it,but I'm worried that will relock my phone and I can't afford to pay to have it unlocked again. I don't wanna risk flashing a new rom,I have done it before but this desire z is my favorite phone I've ever had. Suggestions plz?
A factory reset should not remove your root and not to mention there are very detailed guides here that will help you root your phone without having to pay for anything. Browse around the forum abit.
Sent from my Desire Z via XDA App
"Factory reset" = wipe data and cache..have to do that anytime you change roms so no it doesn't affect root or unlock. How did you install 2.3? When your phone is rooted the ota upgrade doesn't work

Yes Its just simunlocked, So are you sure?
100 % sure doing a factory reset will not relock your phone, it only wipes all personal data,absolutely nothing to worry about mate
Just in case I end up having to send it in for repairs or replacement does anyone know where I can get find the cheapest most reliable place to get the unlock code?

The easiest way to unlock it is to root it using gfree. Besides, once you root, trust me, you will never go back to stock. It really does make the phone much better.

Flash rom from stock again.. ¿

I once had my nook with one of the roms on it I bought a Oxonian tap and gave the n.c. to her since she's been wanting one. So now she wants a tablet experience with her nook now that she sees me playing with my a500 so I know its rooted cuz I tried to do a update on it and it keeps going to cwm so my question is that can I just throw a rom on SD and flash to emmc?

short answer is yes.

Yea I do just wanted to make sure thanks bud anything new happening with the n.c in the last 3 months?

Don't know how that's possible. Perhaps you can find an APK of the market through the web browser and it will install...
Yes it was a mistake.

I knew it was a mistake
But I would like to keep it... it also won't download... I bought it used... do you guys think it was rooted once with an unlock bootloader?... would this happen if someone try to get it back stock to resell??? I don't know...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Is it the stock rom? Check under the about tablet. If it has root then You might need to download the g apps zip from here then install that through CWM. If not you can just search for the APK and get it online somewhere.

Install the apk.

No mistake. It's a great tab. If used, read up and return it to stock condition. Or load a ROM from the dev section. You'll get the market back.
Thanks... that's what I was planning.. get a custom rom, I for sure know this will fix it... I'm confuse on how to set up my laptop with sdk.... I seen instructions that are pretty straight forward... but afraid I might mess up my laptop or the tablet
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I hardly think it's a mistake just because you have to do a little work. Just means you'll like it more later on.
I don't think the tab is rooted... there's no superuser... plus the recovery has these options only... reboot, update from USB, factory reset, clear cache... something like that... just confuse on my after factory reset in recovery I still don't have market... ill upload a picture of all the app that's preinstall after factory reset in recovery...

I think the first thing you should do is a factory reset. If that doesn't get your Market back then flash the stock images from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
After you get the stock images on there then you can think about rooting and custom ROMs if you want to but if stock does what you want then just stick there at the moment.
Thanks, I'm not familiar with sdk adb and all the command thing in second post in the link you provide burd... but give me 24hrs to figure this... I might need help later...
I am attempting to set up my computer... will post my update soon

Here is a guide I used when I wanted to flash the US images on my UK Xoom. The guide will also get you to root but you don't have to go that far if you don't want to.
Now, the commands will all be the same but the guide may be a bit out of date with image names and such as it's from February. Make sure you read everything and if you are planning to root/flash custom ROMs DO NOT relock your bootloader.
Edit: changed guide URL to newer one provided by okantomi

Even better
I don't think it's a mistake as long as you got a good deal on it.
$280.... got it off of Craigslist... they were old nice people that speak little english... he said he let his friend factory reset it... I bet my tablet was unlock and rooted once or he had someone with little knowledge to attempt the procedure to get it back stock so he can resell it... oh well its my problem now... I will fix it... I hope

Can I do a restore when on a custom Rom?

Ok I can't find anything to answer this question. Therefore I am asking, because I just don't believe this has been asked be4. I am running Revolution HD 6.3.1. My phone(HTC INSPIRE 4G) sometimes just slows down to a halt. It started about a week ago. I have uninstalled a good many apps, and cleared plenty of space. Prior to rooting, and flashing I had this problem and restoring to factory setting fixed this. Ok now that I've explained that, the Rom(as stated above) I'm on has the option to do this. I want to know if I do this if it will "restore back to just flashed condition" although it says factory condition, but Is a flashed ROM. Will it just simply put, brick my device, or reinstall the Rom as if I had just flashed it. Thanks ahead of time.

Ir you factory reset the phone you will get stuck in the splash screen. If you want to go back to stock, the restore a backup from CWM or flash a stock Rom from CWM. Factory reset does not work in custom roms...
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Thanks for that response. I'm not interested in stock at all. I just wanted to know if it would work. Root and flashed Roms are always smoother, even if some of them have bumps. Truthfully I'm waiting on a RC Rom from Existz, as I just want a stock android experience

In CWM wipe data and cache and it should be some sort of factory reset.
