yes it will delete everything. I would suggest you do a backup of your contacts then flash away.
Download microsoft My PHone it will save just about everything for you.
On a lot of the ROMs out there, it's actually a good idea to load up the ROM, then hard reset it again just to make sure everything gets reset. Sometimes weird things will happen otherwise
I use Exchange + MyPhone and can be back up and running in as little as 20 minutes after a hard reset.

My TP has become very unstable on my email apps. The problem is when i click on mail on TF3D and click on the envelope it doesn't take me to the email. Even if I press "Inbox" nothing happens - only soft reset helps - very very annoying. i am planning to do a hard reset. mine is an imported from UK and running on custom ROM (ROMeOS2 1.51WWE) + Radio 1.02.25.32.
1. Will i brick my TP if I hard reset?
2. How to do hard reset?
3. Will it completely cleanup all windows registry etc?
Please help.
Thanks
MK
doing a hard reset will not brick ur device. it simply takes ur phone back to your roms original settings; it'll be like u just flashed romeos rom on there. be aware that all your information will be lost, so back up all ur information. there are multiple ways to do hard reset, easiest is: start-settings-system tab-clear storage. follow the instructions there. good luck
Hi, This is a strange question, but would like to know the answer ASAP. What is the difference between a hard reset vs rom upgrade with the same ROM?
Will there be a difference or it is the same, ie it will bring the mobile to the same state as when it was upgraded to that new rom?

Hi, I did a hard reset instead of upgrading the same ROM again. But I noticed something. I had installed WM7ish.tsk theme before the hard reset. After the hard reset this tsk file I could still see the Home settings. Your ROM (as I am using the MSD 6.5.1.7 - 23085) doesn't have WM7ish.tsk. But even after hard reset this was still there. But if I do a ROM upgrade, it erases this too. Does this mean, there might be few settings, installs, registry entries, which wont be erased even after a hard reset?
Hardreset and flashing the same ROM again is not the same!
Flashing a ROM does not delete everything! That is the reason why you should always do a hardreset after flashing!
You can test it. After flashing the clock still has the right time. After a hardreset the time is reset to initial values. Time is not the only thing that does not get reset by flashing.

Hi, Yes you are right. But I am saying, when I hard reset the theme was not deleted, which is not part of the rom. I thought it will be like doing a complete format with a new rom and nothing will be there.
If I am right u mean to say, I should have done a hard reset when I had upgraded the ROM. But the wm7ish.tsk, I had never installed before. It was only after the ROM upgrade

@umasiva:
I didn't realy answered your posting! It was just an answer to the main question of this thread and to the people who said that it would be the same.
Your problem is very strange! As I said befor, a hardreset deletes more than just flashing the same ROM again. Make a hardreset, softreset if the rom tries to install something from ext-rom at first boot and then doublecheck if the file is still there and if it has the rom-file-flag.

how to find out on the rom-file-flag? Actually after a rom upgrade & hard reset, still the wm7ish.tsk is still there.

Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung I9000, from Éclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2, with Odin, (everything is working fine), but...
My question is;
If I do a Hardware Reset does the phone downgrades to is factory default, in this case "Éclair 2.1", or it stays with the last OS installed?
Does anyone knows what happens??
Cheers,
Striken
A hard reset is different than a master reset. Hard reset only entails removing the battery from the device.
To answer your question, once flashed with a ROM, performing a MASTER reset, will bring the phone back to "factory" defaults, i.e. just like it was the very first time you booted it AFTER installing the custom ROM.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Man,
You are talking in a Master Reset, how exactly do you do that?
When I did a software reset it erases everything on the phone, contacts, apps I installed, everything except what belongs to the Rom I installed. Also the phone stayed like when was installed for the first time...
From what I've read an Hard reset puts the phone to is factory defaults, but when I did a soft reset it also stayed "brand new", like factory default.
My question is: does a hard reset erases the rom I installed and puts my phone like it was before I upgraded with Froyo 2.2?
I never heard anything regarding a "Master Reset", can you explain me more?
Thanks,
Striken
Also interested in learning how to Master Reset before playing with ROMs.
Bookmarked for later, thanks!
Hi Kops,
If you also learn anything about it please post it here ok?
Thanks
I believe you can find the stock firmware for your phone (2.1 or 2.2) and use ODIN to flash to that. By doing so, you will revert to 100% stock settings, no root, and no proof that you've flashed your phone at all.
In my opinion, this is your best bet for a "full reset".
When you flash a new firmware, the firmware is permanently installed. Performing a factory reset will NOT revert your phone to its older version. Only a reflash will do this.
Factory reset only resets things that are stored in user data space. Such as your contacts, custom settings and any apps that you have installed (not counting those that Samsung/Google have put into the system)
So there you have it. You can safely perform that reset if you want.

Thanks for the help guys,
So, there's no difference between a soft and hard reset? Or is the factory reset an hard reset?
When I did a factory reset it erases everything and restored the phone to is default settings.
So, the only way to put the phone back like it was when I purchased is installing Eclair 2.1 again...
Thanks,
The only way to get 2.1 back is by reinstalling an official samsung firmware. Yes. If you have an official samsung firmware though, the phone is as it should be.
A soft boot is generally where you send the device a reboot command or turn it off and back on. A hard boot to reiterate generally happens after the battery is removed and reinstalled. This is not what is known as a factory reset and will not modify anything.
A factory reset formats the userdata and cache partitions and resets all settings to default including deleting any apps that were not installed on the factory firmware.
I hope this has answered your question.

It did, thanks.
The only problem is that I never found an official Samsung firmware, in this case the Eclair 2.1 from Vodafone.
If you know any site that have that Rom please share it
I would like to have it so I can restore the phone in an urgency...
Cheers,
Try samfirmwares.com

Don't want to be a pain, but just one more thing if you or anybody knows...
When I both my phone it came with Eclair 2.1 from Vodafone like I said.
You presented me with a page that have the 2.1 stock Rom from Vodafone, but, originally the phone had a Vodafone startup animated logo.
Do you know if the rom in that page has that animation startup?
Thanks,
P.S. One more thing, when I said that I didn't find anything in that site I was mistaken, it was not that website but samfirmware.com website.
Thanks again,
Its a stock rom. Just like the one that shipped inside your phone. It will have all of the features of the ROM you started out with.

You can remove all user data that is located on internal memory by typing *2767*3855# in dial pad and NO it won't downgrade to previous firmware.

What do you mean by lose your bootloader? You won't lose it by doing a factory reset. If you're on stock it will bring you back to factory default settings and all apps and contacts will be lost. The contacts you will get back by signing into your Google account.

Do you mean root or recovery? There's no way to touch the bootloader as of yet...
You will be fine performing a factory reset. Make sure all your contacts are backed up with something like Google first or you will lose them all. The only way to remove all the ATT bloat is to root your phone and freeze it. I wouldnt recommend deleting anything off of the phone.
When using wifi my Internet speed is great but if I use the Verizon network my phone stumbles around and is really slow to download Web pages or any data. Could a new sim card possibly fix this issue? S - offed, unlocked and rooted with stock recovery. Thanks.

No. A factory reset using stock recovery on a stock Rom could though.
Thanks for the feedback. A factory reset is a nightmare for me, I have a ton of work things on my phone that took forever to be able to not only install but also get to operate properly. Any other suggestion short of a factory wipe?

Nope. Specifically, stock recovery resets certain radio settings that can cause radio problems.
There's no way to just reset the radio? Not meaning to be a pain but damn it's a pain in the butt to redo everything after a factory reset.

That's correct. You have the HTC backup app? That does apps/texts/email accounts/desktop layout and more.
