A hard reset will only erase any info that you put on the phone, not any info or services that came with the phone. See my reset guide in my sig.
thank you!
seems to me like its going to erase my number and data plan forcing me to have to go to verizon and have it reactivated because that stuff doesnt come on the phone when u get it.

[Q] HELP:After Hard Reset my phone can not connect to a network services

My phone is Verizon xv6875, I am from China.
I made a Hard reset (by press and hold the Volume down, Send key and Power key, then Press the Volume up).
But after reboot the phone, it can not connect to a network services, says no service. I have a GSM SIM Card with China Mobile service.
I've tried different networks with SIM cards which are working well with other phones.
Also I have tried my GSM SIM Card with other phones, and it works well.
I have reflashed a custom ROM, sim card detected, and switch to global mode. but still no service.
Verizon xv6875:
Radio verison:1.96.0ESN
PRL verison:00202
PRI verison:1.42_003
ERI verison:5
SPL-1.00.01iNEX
Anybody can help me!!!?
Thanks!
Today I have updated RPI
PRI verison to 2.20_003
The problem persist,
then i updated Radio version to 2.37.00WV
The problem persist...
I do not know how?
Anyone can give me some suggestions?
I need your help!
I have contacted with HTC, and I was told this device was customer made by a personal company.
But show Verizon logo at the top of this device.
Hard reset (Not System Wipe device) may lose something in RAM.
And dial *228 nothing happened.
Is it needs to activate the phone?
What I can do?
I have reflashed a Chinese Arlen's patched radio, after rebooting shows Radio 1.96.0ESN, but still dos not work.
With help of "Xiaolei", a Chinese people, My device is working fine now.
It is need to use QPST-Software Download to restore Data backup from a device working fine, and reboot.
So, Verizon xv6875 we cannot make Hard reset, it my lost some network data.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[Q] no data connection on ICS

what have i done wrong here? my ics rom is fine (though the already posted lack of S/W mode and root) i have wifi and calls but no 3g?
my baseband (which is where i suspect the problem is) states OMAP4430/XMM6260
Do a factory reset!
First make a backup.
Turn off phone.
Press volume down and power and keep both pressed untill asked for factory reset. Confirm 2 times and after reset data/3g etc works.
Off course you will have to reinstall your apps, etc!
hope you're right, factory reset now underway
you were spot on, thanks.

If I perform a full factory reset of my ROM, will i lose root and carrier unlock?

I didnt root or unlock it myself.... im pretty sure i wiped all data before flashing the rom i have on there now, but i cant remember for sure....
seems to be the only way to truly fix my extremely messed up WIFI situation... (wifi kills my phone completely... regardless of whose internet as i tried my neighbours and got the same error). i did a restore to last year but it only fixed it for a day... if im gonna restore to a year ago again, i figure i may as well do a full fresh install, since its crapping out still anyway
i have something called superuser (i know is root access), and something called stk which ive read is sim toolkit, in "system/app" they are both apk's. "superuser.apk" and "stk.apk"
also, will my custom recovery be gone? as far as i remember that is how i flashed my ROM last time... but its been so long i cant remember...
Let me try helping since myself new on forums:-
There are two types of phone resets available- 1.Factory wipe from settings of phone/from custom recovery (cwm/twrp) or 2.Complete wipe performed such as in upgrading os version of android (like i did lollipop from jellybean). The complete wipe is done in custom recovery only under mounts and advance option in cwm and then wiping cache,system,data and everything else. If you do so,you will be losing everything installed in your phone EXCEPT Root and Custom recovery.
Back to your question, if you perform factory reset,NO,you don't lose root. If you do complete wipe from recovery,still you don't lose root of your phone UNLESS you fix the root on reboot.
Choose the reset carefully before installing any rom,read their steps,if they ask full wipe or just factory reset and dalvik cache.
Hope it helps.

Factory reset WILL:
Remove all apps and their data
Contacts that are not on the SIM card
(In some rare cases) Pictures, music...
Factory reset WILL NOT:
Remove carrier unlock
Remove root (but may remove superuser app)
Remove the recovery
In case that superuser app is gone, just install that same superuser app from Google Play and update it if it asks to do so.
Ok, let me ask this, to ask if its even worth me doing....
last night i did the same restore to a year ago... except this time while i still had wifi i had downloaded both avast and AVG
I can with both now, and my phone says its clean...
but yet the problem is recurring now, and wifi, 4g, tethering..... basically any function that connects me to the world outside completely craps out my phone...
i thought the restore, and especially he restore and downloading antivirus would fix it, or at least be able to tell me WHAT the problem is... avast will scan the wifi network, but of course this test now freezes up just the same cuz it has to turn on wifi to do so.... while it was still working this test did execute just fine with no errors....
its as soon as internet is connected... for 3g or even my router, it will read it without the internet feed plugged in. but plug that in and it all goes to crap again. Id just hate to do a full fresh install just for it to all go to crap *again*....
ive scanned all computers on the router and those come back clean/no viruses... i tried i different router with internet, same error. i tried the neighbours connection.... same thing again.
this is really baffling.
so i feel more comfortable doing a factory reset....... but i guess im wondering is will it help me??? at all????
whatever this is is clearly not an infected device as some on another forum had thought.... something *else* is going wrong....

Factory reset fixes all problems that were not made with root. You will not lose root either. For a total fix just wipe everything and reflash rom.
Right now im trying a different router, which doesnt have any windows XP machine plugged into it, and i made it extremely secure. even changed the default username and password to get onto the router itself (never bothered with the other one, the one i had been routinely using)... I did a complete reset of this router before even connecting to it with my phone, after it was secured. the other regular one still has everything else connected to it. this one is literally a separate connection, which i named "phone test" lol.
if it makes no difference, total fresh install is my last resort. if it *does* make a difference however... then something in my other regular router is messed up that cause my phones connections to freeze up - but that avast or AVG wouldnt detect (thats the only weird part)...
i even did a scan of my external SD card the other day, thats clean too.
time will tell, im approaching the 24 hour mark with this new setup. if by tomorrow its freezing up again, its not the router. but if its still working, ill have extreme suspicion that it was in fact, the router, probably something dealing with my XP machine thats plugged into it (well, normally anyway).
Time will tell...
im also trying to remember which apps i had updated before any problems started in case there are any corrupted updates i installed, without knowing it. (legit from play store, but still, ive heard that doesnt always mean totally safe, cuz anyone can make them)
Dude, wipe data, cache, system, reflash rom on your phone. BUM, problem fixed.
I still may, but i wanted to play around with the routers first to see if i could fix the problem.... that way id know i wouldnt be fully wiping for no apparent reason. if in a week or so things have been fine and i try connecting to the old regular router... than ill know its something on there infecting my phone... id rather not have a fresh install crapping out on me.
You can do a nandroid backup and then reflash everything. That way if you screw something up or the problem is not fixed you can restore in minutes.

Softbricked, basic usage no rooting.

Gday everyone.
I just got this phone and since it was first powered on I've had issues. I will likely be going back to the carrier tomorrow and asking for a replacement, but wanted to put my experience down here. Ive looked at a lot of other threads, but all of them involve unlocking of bootloader, flashing etc - I havent done ANY of this (yet). Its fresh out of the box.
Location: Australia
Carrier: Optus
Model: MHA-L09 (cant access extended model number)
So first up, had issues connecting to the carriers in-store wifi, which uses a captive portal.
When I finally got it going I was presented with a Chinese site - id accept this usually considering it is Huawei.
This phone is a replacement for my dead Note4 and as such I wanted to restore apps, as I had no internet, I skipped the process.
Got back to my office and connected to my wifi fine, so decided to factory reset to get a fresh start.
Noticed that after reset the initial process was in a different order. Restored from Google and all apps downloaded, happy days for a couple of hours, just waiting for my service to port over.
2 hours later, I decide to restart the phone, it gets hung up on the Optus logo which is displayed before the reboot starts.
Hard reboot.
System loads, I figure I may as well see about a firmware update. Get 'Package installer isn't responding' errors. Try again, works, no updates available.
Go to google photos, get 'Package installer isn't responding' error.
At this point I think, f**k - what is going on here.
So I reboot into recovery to wipe the cache. This processes fine, but then the option to reboot the phone doesn't work.
Hard reboot.
Boots into recovery without me touching it.
Hard reboot. - happens again.
So then I think, fine ok, I've upset the balance, lets do a factory reset.
Factory reset hangs on 99% for over 30 minutes.
Against better judgement - hard reboot.
Now I have the EMUI logo with a nice round 0% under it... and that's where its staying.
Thoughts?
I have to fly interstate on the weekend and cant really afford unreliable comms. Should I ditch the Huawei?
Thanks all.
So - it seems that nowhere did i find a mention of the fact that if i plug it into my PC and goto the recovery mode, it loads eRecovery. Whilst this didnt actually work (I believe it only works for CN firmware) It did give me a shutdown option. I shut it down and started it again and im back into a fresh install.
Lets see how I go now...
Never restore backups from other phone.
Wow, helpful.
I didn't restore the backup from another phone, just apps, ie google downloaded the apps I selected.
The device is still performing poorly, even a standard reboot does not succeed, instead it hangs on the carrier logo before actually rebooting.
Ill take it back to the store tomorrow and ask for another one, im hoping Ive just gotten a dud.
