So I rooted my Xoom and all is well. If I want to restore to exact factory defaults, is the restore to defaults enough?
What would unroot the xoom and restore it to exact conditions? Is there an easy way to do this? Kinda like the 1-click.

Phone: Rogers Captivate
Rooted via OneClick & RyanZA OCLF installed.
Question: Can I run the Factory Data Reset without causing undo harm to the phone? The last thing I need is a brick. I'd like to get back to Factory defaults, I don't care if I lose root or anything, I can re-root. I'm just having problems with Mobile AP and I want to go back to bone stock and try again.
Anyone done this before after root and OCLF?
Hmmm....guess I'm on my own for this one...
Undo the Ryan ZA lagfix, then restore to defaults. Might ask for a passcode.
You probably wont lose root but if you do, hey its one click away

I was wondering if you need to reinstall factory apps(browser, home, car dock, etc..)(I prefer after market apps for those) or will they automatically be reinstalled on factory reset. Also do i need to unroot or uninstall titanium backup, root explorer, and any other apps that require root. My purpose is to reset the phone back to the way it was the first time i ever turned it on. Thanks in advance for the info.

Stock Kernel and OS.
hey there,
not to sound sarcastic, apols if it comes over that way, but you kinda answered your own question there.
.....if you factory reset (like it was the day it was made) then expect exactly that.
Not taken that way at all. I am kinda new to this stuff, good with computers and stuff just new to the phones. Maybe i can be more specific. I used titanium backup to remove some system apps you can only remove when rooted. I was going to use the hold down x while turning the phone on method. Then selecting the wipe data/factory reset option. My question's are- Do i need to unroot before doing this? Will this reinstall the apps deleted by titanium backup or did i really screw up by deleting them(stupidly used the free version of titanium, instead of paid, so only saved the data of system apps, not the app itself)? Thanks again and sorry for the unclarity of my first post.

I am new to Android and need some help.
My G2X has WIFI issue. I rooted it using SuperOneClick and then deleted 2 Tmobile "MyAcccount" system applications (version 1.0 and version 5.0.15) using Titanium Backup Free version. (I backed up data though)
Could someone tell me how to restore the G2X back to original state? I heard that I cannot just run "factory reset" after what I've done. Can I use SuperOneClick to unroot and then run factory reset? Will it restore the MyAccount applications to factory default as I deleted it already? I appreciate your help in advance. Thanks.
If you used Titanium to back up the apps first you can use titanium to restore them as well. You can use Super One Click to unroot the same way you used it to root. Then you can do a factory reset but im not sure if that will restore the "my account apps", Why are you trying to restore??
When I switched between my nandroid backups (all stock 2.1), then how come I dont have to factory reset after restoring that back up?(unlike when switching to dexter's rom I need to factory reset) anyone care to explain?? Any help would be appreciated!!

At least from my point of view, it's easier to tell people to factory reset than to hunt down and fix obscure problems. One of the first troubleshooting steps will probably be factory reset anyway. My feeling is more advanced users figure out their own thing. I used to post elaborate instructions, but more possibilities/options just confuses the least experienced users. It saves a lot of hassle to just post the single most sure-fire set of instructions and then help people that want to try different things later. At least that is my current philosophy.

When you factory reset with our custom Roms it isn't like when you do it on a stock phone and you get the green Android welcome screen. The long and short of it, as I have read, is that if you created the nandroid, ie backup, you wont need to do the factory reset, just wipe dex and cache partitions. If you are moving between "fresh" Roms like from Dexter or Khals to Miui, then I would do it for sure to make sure you have a clean slate to start your modding. But I agree with Mio, number one thing I do when I have an issue is do a factory reset and move from there.

So if i want to switch from my dexter 2.2 rom to my 2.1 nandroid backup, i have factory reset?
I think that if you are only switching from back ups that you already made, you don't have to, but I wipe dex, cache partitions and factory reset everytime. Like I said above, it is always good to have a clean slate to start off with. From what I have gathered, it doesn't wipe everything clean, it wipes everything clean back to your back up point. In my experience, everything will still be there (except for a few passwords), there being the point that you made a back up. Oh also forgot about this key factor. When I back up, I do the top 5 and maybe the sd-ext depending on if I have purchased anything new. Loosely think of it as a restore point in Windows. The reset will only reset to the data backup that you made, nothing beyond or before.

I'm not so sure about that. I can imagine Android has features to upgrade things like sqlite databases forward from 2.1 to 2.2, but I doubt 2.1 knows how to downgrade from 2.2. For jumping between OS releases, I'd use something like Titanium Backup to copy apps and preferences. But moving laterally i.e. 2.2 to 2.2 or 2.1 to 2.1 it's more likely to be ok.
Hey,
If I go into settings and select to reset data I need to know two things.
Will I:
1) Loose root?
2) Still be running version 2.3.3 since I am just doing a factory reset?
3) Provided to above are fine, the whole reason I doing this is because I some how lost the Accounts and Sync option from settings, will that be there upon return?
On the other hand, does anyone know how I can add back Accounts and Sync? Or where it may be hiding. I tried using Titanium to restore that App but it did nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
did you reboot after, and try restoring other apps
the preinstalled apps are sometimes connected to each other, remove one, and another stops working correctly
