Firstly, I'm totally new here. I had root my nexus s and installed cynogenmod 7.1 RC on it just last 2 days.
Then I tried a lot of cracked apps til I faced an annoying error non-stopped pop up when installing the new 3d interface apps..
I have no choice to reset my nexus and thought need to take time to reinstall all my apps and data again.
Reboot into recovery > backup (just feel curious to see what will happened) > wipe data/factory reset (decided to clear everything) > reinstall cynogen > reboot
It comes to the starting menu again and asked to enter my account and so on.. then I left it for around 30mins. When I come back to it, all previous app dy installed n restored..
Just wonder how it works even I dy wiped all data.. and how can I reset my nexus in very clean condition?
Thanks in advance!

What happened? All apps tied to your gmail account were restored. Including paid and (if it didn't screw up) even the free apps.
Why it happened? You didn't uncheck the restoration boxes in the Android setup.
Want to keep it clean? Don't check the restoration boxes after a factory reset/full wipe.

hey all,
on friday I rooted my NS again to check out cm7 rc1. before i was totally stock @ 2.3.2. friday evening i wanted to show my iphone friends the nexus s with cm7. the first one took it and did take some photos. then he smiled and gave it back to me. force close: SORRY: Android.process(???) has stopped unexpectedly.
this error was looping all the thime. i pressed okay and one sec later it was there again. i tried to flash the rom again in recovery, but the error was still there. i did date and cash wipes and some factory resets and then the error was gone.
on sunday i was travelling home on train and suddenly the error was back. i tried again some wipes and then i deceided to restore my nandroid backup. so i was back on 2.3.2. during sunday afternoon and evening i got these errors:
- NS is freezing while it is in standby... if i grab the phone and want to unlock it but the display keeps black -> i have to put out the battery..
- NS is beside my keyboard and suddenly all four buttons are on. display is still black. unlock not possible--> battery again
- NS is freezing while using facebook or twitter app
today... i unrooted it again and went back to a nandroid (2.3.1) guided _here_.
after unrooted again NS wanted to update to 2.3.2 which i confirmed.
about to hours later the errors i explained came back.
am i the first one who bricked NS?
please give me some help how to get it back working correctly, because i love this phone so hard.
I did another factory reset and now the phone is hanging at the google Logo. The four buttons are powered.
This is looping, too.
Yesterday I tried some things to kill these errors. I did:
- factoy reset (in settings menu)
- fastboot erase userdata 2x
- wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devliak
Today the phone was with out a problem, but just a moment ago I wanted to unlock it by pressing the power button but the display didn't react as usal. It is still black and the only thing I can do is to take out the battery....
Last step I can do is to send it back to my girlfriends sister in US so that she can bringt it to Samsung US to get it serviced.
"bricking" the phones involves the phone not being able to turn on or do anything, period. your phone isnt a brick. after doing a "factory reset" you want to reflash whatever rom you are using. it seems like youre having problems with a bad app or some bad data.
thx simms22. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly with rom manager (incl. wipe). i set up all my apps and 20 min later the error come.
to figure out if it is a bad app problem i do a factory reset now and won't log into google account and see if the error appears.

i did a factory reset and skipped google setup after first boot.
i just entered sim code and let nexus s in idel mode.. about 15 mins later the four buttons were lightened but i couldn't unlock the phone. battery out... and i could power it on.
so it's some kind of bad data problem? but how to find and/or clean this bad data? thx again for your help.
edit: I found a lot on google for "full wipe bad data". I'm reading now! But I may have to ask you something
edit2: in recovery (cwm3.0.0.5) I did: format system, format data, format cache and format sdcard. then i mounted usb and copied this nandroid 2.3.1 to it and flashed it. I booted and installed system update 2.3.2. now testing again without apps.
edit3: the hole day no problems. I only installed twitter and in the evening 2.3.3 manually. This morning again the phone was not unlockable. I had to take out the battery... on my way to work I did a wipe from stock recovery but shortly later the phone freezed while I used the slider to unlock it. oh man that sucks I thought it was fixed.
I make some coffee now and start google'ing. If you have some tipps, please throw them to me.
maybe reflashing radio?

im going to have you try wiping once again. wipe data/factory reset. only this time reupdate to android 2.3.3 right after the factory reset in recovery. dont boot after wiping, update after wipe, then reboot.
--> stock recovery -> wipe / factory reset -> reflashed update (ota2.3.3) -> testing now without installing apps
thanks simms!
Edit: the phone got a freeze while I wanted to unlock it -.-
Edit2: I'm testing now in airplane mode. Maybe the error doesn't come...

im now thinking it might not software related. if it was software, a wipe and reupdate should have fixed it. maybe you should check into a warranty replacement. .
In airplane mode the error is there, too.
Okay thx 4 ur help. I'm starting a service request. Bad day -.-

the only other thing i can think of that might cause something like that after wiping is something bad on your "sd" storage. copy everything you need off your "sd" storage and try wiping that.

I think I allready did this? Or do you talk about this 1gb sd. If so, how to format this one?
Could I find something usefull with logcat?

According to this thread I think you will have to get it replaced:

Holy sh** what an anoying link. -.-
BUT: thanks dude.. now I know waaazzz up
so I bought this MyTouch 4g from this guy at my job. He rooted and messed up some things (deleted important files i guess), and as I'm using the phone I get random force closes on certain applications. Turning on the phone takes forever, Loading pop up stays up for about 5 minutes before the homescreen is actually completely loaded. Sense Widgets are gone, when I try to load them, htc.RosieUtility.com has to force close. Email app force closes as well. When I try to recovery boot (Volume + Power), I get a ClockWorkMod screen.. which I am 98% sure is not stock.
He admitted himself he messed it up, so I bought it pretty cheap from him , but is there any way to reset EVERYTHING to factory settings, even though he deleted some things when he rooted and got into the system/app?
I could be wrong but try:
Home > Menu > Settings > Factory Data Reset
Unless you are comfortable with flashing a new ROM to the device.
Your right in thinking clockworkmod is nothing to with stock. But this is good. If he has messed up by deleting important apps and files the easiest way to solve this is to flash a new rom. Head over to the my touch 4g forums find a rom you like the look of download it to your memory card. Boot in to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, install zip from sdcard and flash your new rom. This should solve all your problems and you will have a clean slate to start from.
I wouldnt worry about unrooting, i have heard of people Paying more for second hand phones that have been rooted. How ever if you did want to take it back to stock im sure there will be a guide in the my touch 4g forums

hi,
i am not rooted with stock(one s), and all of a sudden my phone stuck and started restarting itself over and over again.
what should i do ?
i can access the special screen when holding the volume button, but i dont know what to do there.
can someone help me please?
Boot into your recovery and recover an old image or wipe ROM and reinstall. The Boot.img from the previous ROM you were using was probably messed up and this should probably resolve your issue.
Dude he has not rooted how will he recover an old image and flash new ROMs??
Go into bootloader(the special screen u mentioned above) and do a factory reset from there...

i have a crazy problem!
i made already 3-4 factory reset, and after the reset, everything works perfectly until i try do activate or de-activate the wifi. when i click "on" the phone crashes again and goes into restart loop, and in order to stop it i need to do factory reset.
I don't know what to do!!
Now,go into fastboot and flash the kernel(boot.img) and then do a factory reset...this should work...

actually, i just find how to fix this problem.
(i don't know how to flash kernel or stuff like that cause i never did it.)
though i searched the internet and read about the same problem that someone had, and the fix is to cancel the "sync internet" for the google account in "settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Google -> uncheck Sync Internet"
than i can turn on\off WiFi how much i want with no boot loop.
the bad thing is that i needed to do like 4 factory resets until i got it.i think that if it happen that it is possible to clear somehow the storage data via the boot loader and re-configure the google account and imminently uncheck the "sync internet" check-box. and in this case a factory reset is not needed. but it's too late for me
this is the link where i find the solution:

does any one know what this "sync Internet" does in the google account? i
Thanks,
Im in the UK and on vodafone and yesterday i updated my s6 to 5.1.1
Now my phone keeps vibrating and playing my notification sound every minute or so even if there isn't notifications pending/received. Not only is this annoying but also runs my battery down quickly. It even does this when my phone is set to silent. Anybody have a cure before i return my phone?
Turn off the phone, hold volume up home and power button at the same time. Once you see the menu just wipe your system cache. It fixed my problems I was experiencing when I updated my phone.

Do you need to redo all your settings and reinstall apps when you do this though?
Wiping cache will not delete your data that may result to reinstalling your apps. Though its best to back up your device before doing it.

Just wipe cache
Choose Wipe Cache Partition. Choosing the other will delete all your date and reset S6 to factory state.
How can i format system partition ? But not installing custom recovery ...
The problem is that after flashing 5.1.1 with odin the phone has a lot of errors = force close...
I have tried to wipe data and cache several times and setup from start but seems that something stays from previous Rom....

Oneplus One - "BOOTLOOP" - Unknown Reason and Data Presence after Factory Reset
Hello All,
This is my first post in XDA.I'm sharing my Oneplus one bootloop experience which i faced last week .The day before i got bootloop in my Oneplus one,Charge i had in my mobile was around 14% , Data and other services were running with which my mobile can only run for only next 8hrs.Next day morning, I found my mobile got switched off.When i try to charge the device,My device fell into bootloop completely then i went with the following choices,
1. Charged the device around 50% and made it dry completely (Didn't Work).
2.CM Recovery mode and Wiped the cache partition (Didn't Work).
3.Finally,No option-Half-Halfheartedly decided to Factory reset my device, CM recovery >> Wipe Data/ Factory reset.
While Factory reset,Device was prompting for delete user option I gave "Yes" .After reset and reboot,I found still all my data exists in my device.
Unchanged things even after my factory reset,
1. All my data around 48gb.
2.Ringtone and other settings.
Changed things,
1.No apps were there
2.Wallpaper
3.Security pattern (No pattern after reset)
4.Apps auto-login
For eg, Facebook app i downloaded it right from play store. When i opened the app, It din't prompt for Username,Password
right way it just logged in.Same thing with twitter,Linkedin and Other apps.Even after i wipped my cache still all the app were able to auto login.
Anyway my device works fine now.Got all my data back
My device Config,
-------------------------------
Sandstone Black
64 gb variant
CM 12 updated till date (12.0-YNG1TAS213).
If anyone had already faced the same.Pls post the RC for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
