I changed my DPI to an absurd number by mistake and now my phone is on bootloop. My phone is NOT rooted.
Can I fix my phone with MIAssistant or another method? Would that wipe my data?
If I'm going to lose my data anyway, will "Wipe All Data" in the Recovery screen work out (since it's easier)
Thanks in advance. This incident made me question the reason of not rooting this phone...
Mate, I'm not an expert but I think you have a pretty small issue, try entering fastboot mode and making a factory reset via fastboot tools in your pc, that should reset the DPI and fix your issue. If anyone have a better Idea, please do post it here.

Yes, if you can't boot you phone then a simple factory reset should be enough, It shouldn't erase your internal data like photos and videos, just the data from you applications and OS

Dear SGS2 users,
I'm experiencing some problems.. The device is getting REALLY slow. When I try to open a picture taken with the SGS2 on the device itself it takes about 1 MINUTE before it shows the picture.. And opening SMS/Contacts also takes time.
I'd like to factory reset my device.. I tried a reset yesterday, but it didn't wipe any files, just sms/contacts. Can someone help me? I'm not rooted
Thans in advance
Boot recovery Wipe and factory reset .

No it won't. But you should really try get a backup of it
But if you are using stock recovery and are unrooted, then you can wipe fine
Old stock ROMs did have an issue where they would not boot properly after a wipe, unless you re-ODIN the stock ROM again.

Put this code in your dialer:
*2767*3855#
This will do a complete rebuild of the device and wipe internal storage. So phone will be like when you first took it out the box! ;-)

I want to perform a factory reset but i debloat my rom which removed my secsetupwizard.apk..i believe this is the set up screen after factory reset.. Has anyone tried to factory reset without secsetupwizard.apk. Is it safe? Does it boot straigt to home screen or cause persistent error messages like system ui crash??
Do it from recovery ... power+home+volume up button boots u to recovery ... and wipe data/factory reset

I m not a dev but from my knowledge and personal experience i can't see how anything could go wrong with that ... if however after wiping u have problems u could reflash your current rom and u should be fine ...
So i just factory resetted my phone without the secsetupwizard.apk. Had a sysem ui crash on boot but pressing ok after that it never shows up again until next factory reset. So it's nothing to worry about. Im not sure though if it has anything to do with secsetupwizard uninstalled or other factors like theme.

I had same issue and it resolved by doing a factory data reset from settings > Backup & reset > Factory Data Reset. Backup all your files before doing factory data reset.

i've had that issue when installed 5.0 solved it by flashing the images again via fastboot (clean start,whole data was gone)

hmm, I wonder how many actually succeded in flashing lollipop wihtout wiping everthing because of either the bootloop or storage bug? I dont wanna spend a whole day setting everything up on my phone if I can help it!
well, it's not like youre facing final exam i believe
this is way more easy . . .
unless u arent having a good signal for data transfer
Hey guys, I have updated my S5(f-version) from kitkat to Lollipop via KIES3 and it was working alright.
I thought rooting it would make it better, but now I feel it's just worse...
But now my applications constantly crashes, for an example - when recieving call the app crashes making me missing the call.
Opening gallery takes up to 7 seconds, and other apps 2-4 seconds (if not more). Which is getting very frustrating,
I dont know how to downgrade to kitkat, but I would love to do so. And then install XPOSED
Things i have done
Cleared partition cache
freeing memory
restarting the phone
unrooting
rooting
This isn't because of lollipop. The problem is something your doing or your device-
Either you did something wrong when rooting or something else.
What method did you use to root the phone?
Did you wipe data?
Make a backup in recovery and wipe data, dalvik, cache. Reflash, root and report back.

I had the same problems before rooting it, and thought rooting it would make a difference.
I followed all the steps correctly
If you updated from KK to LP, it is highly advisable to factory reset the phone after the update, KK leaves behind rubbish files that cause all sorts of problems, factory reset solves a big number of them

My S5 is rooted, should I unroot it and factory reset trough the phone? I dont think I can acess the android recovery mode, when I try all I get is into the TeamWin one

No need to unroot first, but you might need to root again after
You should be able to factory reset from TWRP too - through phone or TWRP will work fine

Like detection pointed out, you don't need to unroot to do a factory reset.
Android Recovery = very basic and limited recovery.
TeamWin = everything the above one has plus lots of more useful functions (same goes for CWM)
When I said wipe data, cache and dalvik cache I assumed you knew what that means. Judging from your reply you don't. It means to do a factory reset, in recovery (whether it's TeamWin or whatever, doesn't matter). Be sure to make a backup in recovery if you don't want to lose data like sms messages etc.
I've noticed that after going back to stock Oxygen with root my lock screen wallpaper is not centered. It seems to be shifting to the left of center. Is there a fix or reason why this is happening? Don't have this issue with any other ROM...
Try factory reset, it maybe hanged out. Coudl help it this way.

I'd give it a shot but when I installed this time around I actually followed the Unbrick method from here.. Unbrick Guide .. I can only assume this wiped everything and anything from the phone? I sometimes wonder if I'm getting a good wipe.

Well if you want to wipe everythink you need to do the factory + wipe data. I also suggest to wipe dalvik and partition cache. This will not only wipe your data but your current OS. So you need to flash it again.
