I asked in another thread but do to time constraints I am in a bit of a rush. I am doing an exchange tomorrow and need to revert the phone back. I saved them when I initially rooted but after so many factory resets they got deleted accidentally. If anyone could hook me up Id really appreciate it.

Hi all, i have been trying to search for this problem, but cant find the answer at the mo.
I have rooted my s2 as showen in galaxys2root.com (still running standard rom)
i have put on clockwork mod and backed up
i have titanium pro back up
I wanted to do a factory reset as my s2 as from when i first had my phone i have had a new number on my sim card, so wanted to up date the phone as the old number is showen in the settings.
I tried to do a factory reset in the phone, but it got stuck in a boot loop in the start up screen.
I did a restore with the clockwork mod, and the phone is working again, the same as it was before.
I am wondering how i can do a factore reset and start over again with out getting into a loop and if poss keep my root.
thanks
ian
Put the SIM in an old "dumbphone" and change the number manually in it. Put it back in your I9100 and it'll display correctly.
[Q] My Telephonenumber in S2.
but isnt the number in this part of the phone
settings-about-status.
the phone number in there is from when i first got my s2, and since then i have brought my number over from 02. the phone makes/recives calls fine. its just the number in the status is wrong.
I understood your situation perfectly well, my answer still applies.
thank you oinkylicious, it was just me being not very bright.
done as you said, and it is all sorted now.
thank you again.
next is to figer out how to install villainrom 3.0 lol
The other night my gs4 running OC3 decided it didn't want to live anymore and randomly rebooted and hung at the ATT splash screen. Took the phone to best buy and had them reflash it. The phone would then boot but ran incredibly slow and certain apps just wouldn't open. Fast forward to last night and the network died. My IMEI is gone and everything having to do with the phones identification was wiped out.
I'd like to downgrade the phone from 5.0.1 to 4.2.2 and possibly get twrp onto it. I don't care about tripping knox or bricking the phone as I've already gone and got a new one. Worst case scenario I have a brick, best case I can install custom roms and use it as a multimedia device. Can anyone point in the right direction for experimental methods people are too afraid to test or guides that might help out? I did some searching and found a few relevant posts but nothing concrete relating to this situation. Any help is appreciated!

Could try hear to get imei back
Peace ALL,
Hopefully someone can please help me!! I recently purchased a used OP2 off of Amazon. Phone received was in good shape and looked brand new. The problem I have however is that I can't bypass the initial set-up (I think it has something to do with Google factory Reset Protection).
Whenever the phone is in the initial setup process its asking for a gmail that was synced to the device before it was wiped--which of course I dont have access to. Is there any workaround for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
i had the same problem as i got it second hand.The thing with me was that i knew the owner.
The problem is that the previous owner wiped the device from the boot menu ( the one that looks like twrp) and not from the in menu setting.
this is why it asks for a previous mail.
I asked for his mail and password ,logged in, went to settings did a factory reset form the menu and all ok.I dont know what you could do without his mail and password.
Maybe unlock it put twrp custom rom open it and then reset it to factory settings?
Does anybody know if unlocking bootloader and flashing the stock ROM will bypass Google Device Protection (not sure if this will work as i think the OP2 is already "unlocked")?
Someone please help
I am having the same issue. I've read how you have to wait 72 hours but I am not sure if it will work.
So, I tried rooting my Samsung G930V, a Verizon S7. I messed something up, and got put into a constant boot cycle. I ended up flashing the newest samsung firmware, and started the setup. I got past the wifi, and when asked to put in my email or phone number, I simply cannot. I can't put more than one character in without it being removed after putting in the other. For example, when I type j, then a, the j gets deleted. Same happens with numbers. I can't try to bypass it either, I accidentally deleted my backup while rooting. If I can't get my contacts back, it will be a long hard journey trying to get those contacts back. Please help if you can.
Do you have the OTG adapter that came in the box? It may just be a problem with the keyboard software and you could use a physical keyboard to type in your info and get everything setup.

Try factory resetting the phone if you haven't already
Hello all,
Earlier today, I was browsing a website for a game on my phone when it rebooted. It continued into a reboot loop at which point no matter what I did, nothing worked. TWRP wasn't working, and I wound up flashing the phone several times with both stock Android as well as Pure Nexus. While I was able to fix TWRP, whenever I attempt to flash Beans G'Apps, the phone reboots again and stays in the reboot loop. I'm unfortunately unable to flash the image using that means. I feel like I've made progress on this issue, but everything else isn't working.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do in order to be able to stop the boot loop and save my device?
Thanks!
Flash stock firmware

I had tried that but to no success. I will try this again. Do you have any guides or anything for that?
Edit: I have gone through and attempted to use fastboot to flash two different images... N2G47H and N2G47W. I'm still getting the same result. Since doing this, I've also attempted going back into Recovery (non-TRWP) and doing factory reset that way. Nothing.
So apparently this has been a known issue possibly. I don't know if for a fact this is the hardware issue, or the fact I had Pure Nexus installed on it... it would also explain why Google is so readily going to give me a new phone even though my warranty is expired.
I can't post the reddit links due to new XDA account, but they are there.

How did you get Google to replace your phone? I bought mine from Swappa and warranty just expired in April

This is DanPLewis under my account account (Wasn't able to remember credentials initially!). So my phone was purchased from Google for Google Fi. I reached out to their support chat. First they informed me that my phone warranty expired 3 months ago in March. I asked what options I have right now for replacement, and they voluntarily told me that they will go ahead and do a one time refurbished replacement.
The reasoning I feel as though they replaced it out of warranty was because they're aware of the issue with the phone... but they could've just been nice about it.
