[Q] Factory reset after installing stock rom?

Hi
Just installed the UK stock rom over the EE branded version. The guide I read said about factory reseting the phone. How vital is that? I hate reinstalling apps and configuring the settings and accounts.
Cheers

If you don't want to do it then only do it if things start crashing.

I see all values are zero, so there are the problem with the sensors (may be hardware problem or software problem).
Try to factory reset or flash the stock firmware.
If that does not help, you may need to go to the service center for warranty/repair.

Maybe it is a hardware fault.

Short answer: If it doesn't work with a clean flash of stock, then it's hardware defective.

[ HELP] S4 I9505 OTA Update Problem

Hi! So I'm rooted and I want to update my phone but when I try to do it, it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." So I reset my flash counter using Triangle Away and now it says 'official' and 'O' but still that modified blah blah is still appearing. How do you solve this?

You will have to flash the firmware manually thorugh ODIN and root it again :highfive:.

AFAIK Manually flashing the ROM is the only way. If you want OTA updates, do not root your phone.

Use wanam xposed to make the status to official in the phone.
See if that works. IMHO it wont still..
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "

I kind of tried that already with Triangle Away but it didn't work. It said that phone runs with official firmware but the warning still appears.

Yeah because they arent a comprehensive way to change the "status"
Onlt flashing stock will work.

Can't send sms after lollipop update

Hello guys!
Just updated my Note 3 OTA last night, to Android Lollipop.
Ever since, I am able to recieve SMS but not to send. All of my messages remain in a pending state. I had to restart my phone so i can send sms. ??
All stock apps, all stock firmware. Phone was working fine with Kit Kat. The SMS Service Center number is correct.
Any ideas?

Anyone? ?????

Shouldn't be anything to do with Lollipop upgrade, but still as you done the update OTA I will suggest you to wipe everything and do the update manually, via Odin I mean. I never did trust OTA method of upgrades.

Thank you for your reply. Pls kindly give me the link on how to do that.

Have you tried clearing the cache and data of the Messages app?
(backup old text first, they'll be wiped. You can use 'sms backup & restore' (app, check google play) for that.)
