[Help] Factory reset - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i made factory reset by going to Settings > Backup and Reset > Favtory reset. Once it was done, the keyboard didn't show up when register. i skipped all stuff and wrote my name by saying random names via mic. i installed google keyboard I had. Any idea on how to fix this ? I want to re-do factory reset again.

Hi,
Do you have a custom recovery installed ?

Yea of you don't have a custom recovery installed, best just to try factor reset again, I had the same problem once.

nope, i dont have it. Anyway, i did flash the stock rom again. My friend said that it might be the mod i installed for keyboard from Xuimod from Xposed. Maybe. Anyway it is fixed now ^^

Yes, you are right. Factory reset does not help to fix a system modding.
Only re-flashing the stock firmware may help.

[Q] trouble after deleting data/data/com.android.providers.settings

hi guys, would really appreciate your help..
i was trying to fix my nexus 4's problem of unable to sync with google servers so i deleted the data/data/com.android.providers.settings and it indeed fixed the issue.
unfortunatley, after rebooting, i'm now:
- unable to get a lockscreen
- unable to get home button to work
- swipe down settings are gone. and so are notifications
is there another way to restore this other than a factory reset?

Factory reset wil not help, reflash a factory image or custom rom if you are rooted.

He only deleted the data so of course a factory reset will fix it this.
You will probably take ages trying to fix and end up having to wipe anyway. I take it you haven't got a backup of any sort (nandroid/ti backup) etc?

Yup, my bad. So many users wiping the entire sdcard nowadays that i took it wrong and didn`t read correctly
I thought I did but I searched my PC and couldn't find any previously backed up data. So I guess I've no choice but to factory reset and reinstall my data

Hi there! I had had the same problem l33chpda had, but the factory reset fix worked just one time only, today i was about to resell my phone so i wanted to factory reset it, after that i've come across with the problem i had that time, again.
Don't know what to do, i have same issues mentioned by l33chpda, cant get into settings, swipe down settings neither, etc; when try to, phone just do nothing or stays one second and goes back home screen.
I have made nandroid (both clockworkmod and TWRP) of the phone when I bought it, but with online nandroid so i don't have any custom recovery installed.
While checking those nandroid backups, I've discovered the deleted folder backup in the clockworkmod nandroid folder.
Could it be possible to paste it back into "\data\data" folder? should that be the fix? Or I'll have to reflash all even though I dont wanna take that risk because is just that, the other things of the phone are intact and work great.
In case of reflashing, could you tell me about any easy tutorial on how to install clockworkmod recovery?
I own an LG G2 D800, KitKat d80020y rooted with stumproot.

[Q] "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working" after factory reset

Hello folks,
The SGH-i337 is my first android device and I've had it only for a few days now. I rooted the phone using the "1 click root and debloat" files in the development section of this forum. Everything worked great after that. Today I installed an unofficial apk on my phone but I wasn't comfortable with it at all. So I did a factory reset (are you not supposed to do that?)
After the factory reset, the phone boots up and gives me the usual settings menu. At the end of the settings however, it lags for a few seconds before it says "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working". This brings me back to the "choose a device name" menu in settings. If I fill it out again and go through settings, it crashes again. I can't get into anything else on the phone since it keeps going through the initial setup.
I've tried booting into recovery mode and deleting the cache. I doubt that this clears it since the phone gives me an error and reboots. I tried selecting factory reset through the recovery mode but that also gave me the same issue (said error and rebooted).
After some searching I've found that flashing a stock rom with odin might be the best way to go. Is that correct or is there a better way? On the odin download page, it only lists the 9505 version for Galaxy S4. Could I use that for my SGH-i337?
I think the phone is still rooted because it says Samsung Custom before booting up. Thanks for the help!
Had same exact issue as well.
I booted in to download mode and flashed it with factory rom, then installed CWM.

Oh man, you're a life saver. I'm downloading the file and I'll give it a shot. So just to confirm, I put the phone into download mode and run Run_Me.bat and that should fix the issue?
Also for future reference, are you not supposed to do a factory reset after rooting your phone? Thanks!
Fixed it
The issue arose because the settings program was supposed to follow up with at&t locker setup. But since I had deleted the at&t files with the debloat tool, it kept crashing. So the solution was to reset the phone to stock firmware. I used Odin 3.07 to flash the factory ROM onto the phone and now everything is back to normal.
I guess this also answers my previous question, if I'd probably have the same problem again if I do a factory reset.

Just dont use all in one tool as you did before. Just use the chooper rooting process in the link I provided.
Then manually remove the apps you dont with titanium backup.

[Q] Everything crashes can anyone help?

Hi,
I rebooted my phone while there was no keyboard selected and following reboot everything crashes!
Apex launcher crashes, settings crashes (so I can't go in and re-enable a keyboard)!
I am really stuck, and I really don't want to do a factory reset.
Thanks

Wipe cache from recovery.
If not, im afraid that you must do a factory reset

Or a re-flash with Odin

S7 Edge - Unfortunately, <app> has stopped.

Hi all,
First time poster, so please excuse me if this is not the correct section.
I got the S7 Edge, absolutely love the thing. As a semi-experienced smartphone user, i have used a load of devices, and this one is my favourite!
Unfortunately, on Tuesday past it developed an issue. I receive an error that says "Unfortunately, <app> has stopped". Now the <app> can be Google Play Services, Camera, WhatsApp. You name it, any third party or system app, i get this message one after the other and then the phone reboots.
I proceeded with a factory restore, on the first screen of setup where i select my language, the errors started again. I noticed you could clear the cache from the boot screen so i done that, restored again, same problem.
I am now getting a replacement device, but i cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this? Is it a corrupt memory module? Is this an issue experienced quite commonly? I'm really not sure, so i am here for expert advice.
Thanks,
Skyco
Yeah, questions go in the Help section. Not a big deal--a mod will move it there shortly.
Did you do the factory reset in settings or recovery? It shouldn't matter since either way should wipe the cache partition.

I performed a factory reset through both ways, first i selected the factory restore options through settings. The second time, after i wiped the cache partition i booted the phone up and manually selected the factory restore.
The next thing I'd try is using Odin to re-flash the stock ROM, but that won't be necessary since you're getting a replacement device.

Out of curiosity, how would i go about doing that? What risks involved in flashing the ROM?

First, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and get the firmware for your device and region. Dial *#1234# to find the firmware/CSC you're currently on.
Download Odin here and follow the instructions for flashing the ROM.
Since the ROM is made for your phone, there are no risks flashing it. If you try to flash the wrong ROM or do something wrong, it will simply fail.

Manually installed Emojis, now they refuse to go away...

Hey there, I manually installed different emoji by switching out the NotoColorEmoji ttf, but now after changing them back they refuse to go away. Is there something I'm missing here? Permissions are set correctly.
If your manually installed emojis or any other similar third-party installed and they refuse to work, then you should do a hard reset and restore your factory settings.

I'd rather not do a full factory reset for something this minor. Is there a cache or another file I'm missing here?
