Thanks for sharing, others have reported similar results. Thankfully mine is fine as it is. Stock ROM rooted.
I was wondering, since I'm rooted running stock ROM and I wanted to do a factory reset, can I just reset to factory settings and still be rooted or do I have to root again?

You'll lose root if you wipe your internal and external SD card.

but doing factory reset will erase both? I used superoneclick and I thought it was permanent root? What are ppl talking about when they say they want to return phone to tmobile but they have to unroot. Can't they just factory reset then? and if I just factory reset while I'm rooted will it damage the phone in anyway?
Mine was still rooted.
Superuser was in APP drawer after factory reset.

So I can just go straight to settings> privacy> factory reset, click it and it'll delete all my installed apps, revert me back to how it was out of the box, but still be rooted with the necessary apps like superuser installed?
I got to many apps no memory and somethings draining my battery quick, so definitely I need to reformat...

Correct. ROOT is a part of SYSTEM. SYSTEM doesn't get touched during a reset, only DATA.

+1 yes sir
Battery is running way better. I am getting 10-12 hours on a full charge, Using it in the same ways I was using it before the factory reset. I also mostly on WI-FI at home and at work.
Tonight I try just my phones data no WI-FI. That way I see if the 4G kills the battery quicker.

This happened for me also. I can get about 30 with light use and about 20 or so with my typical use. Prior to the reset I was only getting about 10 to 13

If you do not do a backup does that matter as far as apps? I would assume that once you log back into your account you'll have access to those apps. I don't have any custom settings just running rooted stock.

I used APP MONSTER and TITANIUM BACKUP. I also made manual backup from my phone and memory card to my laptop.
I like APP MONSTER, Because it has a setting to make a backup of APP every time you install a APP.

I went through with this, and my battery last way longer because I don't have all those apps. Infact without Juice Defender, I'm getting even better battery life. I also reformatted both internal and external memory. The phone feels bare, and I'm just gonna install things I actually find useful.
Again I notice better battery life without Juice defender, don't know if juice defender was draining more battery or not but better battery life.
I am aslo running only what's needed also. I have apps backup in my SD card. That I can install at any time.
No rebooting yet or phone being unresponsive.
It did freeze once because it was really hot @ 120°F.

Okay, so I bricked my phone messing around with Infused addons. I used ultimate unbrick to reset the phone to stock and now I want to reinstall Infused ROM.
In the market going to download the few standard apps I need to do this, NOTHING WILL DOWNLOAD. I get "application name cannot be downloaded due to an error."
No matter what app I look at, this is what I get. What the heck is going on? All I did was root my phone as soon as the stock image was restored.
That happened to me too last night but I soft rebooted and the problem went away. It also happened again but this time I turned airplane mode on and back off and the download worked.

You have to factory reset your phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
You need to boot into recovery and reset all the data.. I had this problem last night, and thats finally what resolved it for me.
I recieved the OTA update for the G2x to the latest v21y firmware and Gingerbread 2.3.4 OS. Everything seems to have gone fine, except that now in Google Play apps it gives me the following error when trying to install or update *any* app:
'Error downloading "xxx". There is insufficient space on the device.'
Of course, I have an additional 8 GB micro SD card that is almost totally empty, and the internal phone storage has 3.2 GB available. The phone memory lists 0.94 GB available as well.
I followed the usual advice of clear data / clear cache for both Google Play and Download Manager. I unmounted/mounted both phone and SD cards. I turned off the phone, pulled the battery for a bit, took out the external SD card, put the battery back in, and booted back up. I rebooted a bunch of times. I put the external SD card back in. I cleared off extra crud from phone storage via a file manager, and I cleared caches on all installed apps.
This has never happened before, and directly after the update it has happened 100% of the time I have tried.
Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else who got the update? (I'm completely on stock, btw, still not out of warranty.)

Does that require rooting? I haven't installed CWM yet, as I was holding off on all the experimentation until my year was up.
If there's no other usual thing to try, if T-mo doesn't come back with a reasonable response I suppose that's the next step.

No it requires Nvflashing cwm. But that will ruin your "warranty" on a end of life phone

You can factory reset without root. That's what T-Mobile will tell you to do anyways. I've went through six g2x in the past two weeks...that's their answer to everything lol

I root everything I get on day one. Nothing stock and limiting my user options appeals to me. You can always revert to stock or if you hard brick no one could tell anyways.

So a factory reset fixed it. I didn't have to wipe the phone and external SD, and so I'm just reinstalling apps and setting up a few of them. This was a good time for some spring cleaning anyway, I suppose.
It was probably some stupid permissions thing, but without root I can't even fix that.

What is this update supposed to accomplish anyway? I'm rooted and trying ROMS pretty much every week (since no ICS rom works for me as a daily driver). Should I / can I do the update to 21y?
V21y 2.3.4 Rooted Touch Key lights
so everything else works fine when it comes to rooted app root request, but for some reason when a touch key light app request permisson it can do the job of adjusting the touchkey brightness, however the screen becomes very unresponsive, to the point where you cant slide left and right... I have run out of ideas as to why this is? has anyone else experienced this? I like to be able to turn that brightness down
What would happen if I didn't wipe before flashing? And do I need to flash the 12.2 kernel
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure what would happen. It would probably be less stable or not work... You could always try it though.
You do not need to flash any kernel. Only flash LeanKernel if you want to. If you don't want to mess with BusyBox, I'd wait on the kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
From my experience on other devices when flashing ROMs and not wiping I would almost always bootloop. Again that is my general experience. I would assume there would be similar results.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I usually backup the current ROM first, then factory reset before wiping cache. I end up with good results that way. The only time I installed a ROM without wiping, it was unstable.
Well, I tried flashing it, and it seemed to work. This is without the wipe.. But the only thing I found incorrect was that the wifi notification didn't go away. That was an easy fix though.
Should the battery life be noticeably better?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I was kind of retarded the other day and forgot to wipe.:laugh: I was greeted with a nice bootloop until I pulled the battery and tried again (this time the correct way) then everything worked great..
I haven't wiped for any of the Synergy builds and my phone is running great Running Imos kernel too. Awesome battery life from this thing
So.. Even though I didn't get a boot loop after flashing without the wipe... Do you guys think I should just wipe and flash again?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but I'd say if it's working then leave it be..

A wipe may not be completely necessary but if you do run into problems (FCs, etc.) and post a problem the devs or users are going to ask if you did a full wipe or not - and then recommend that you do one. In the end it wouldn't hurt to wipe even if you are fully functional.
I used to hate wiping all the time but with the proper backup applications it doesn't take long at all. I use Titanium Backup to backup apps and then also do in app backups for specific things like nova launcher, minimalistic text, and gosms,
Hello all, I'm a newbie here. I have just updated to ICS yesterday and decided to root it today. The root process completed successfully without much drama, but I've noticed after the root, my phone is freezing up A LOT. ICS was silky smooth running Nova launcher before i rooted it, so the root must be the cause of the problem. Each time it freezes up, I must fully reboot the phone to have it working again. But since I don't see anyone else experiencing trouble, I assume it's some of the apps that are acting up instead of the actual root?
I never rooted 2.3.6, so I'm completely new to this rooting thing. If this is a common occurrence right after root and will get better over time, pls let me know so I can feel better lol. If not, how can i find out where the problem lies?
Doesn't sounds like root to me. do you have CWM? If not, flash it and then boot into recovery and clear your cache

i think the problem is going away now...although i lost about 10% of battery...
hope this battery loss is part of the freezing and not part of rooting consequences..

I didn't restore anything, and as i'm typing I'm doing a titanium backup. Will certainly try that after its done
So my phone has been randomly rebooting and sleeping indefinitely quite often over the past two weeks. I was just wondering if there is a simple fix to this that won't require any backup or anything. It isn't a huge deal to me right now, and if it requires backing up things then I will probably just wait until I'm ready to do a full ROM wipe and re-install.
Why can't you do a backup in your recovery. You must have a custom recovery if you're thinking of a clean rom install. Back it up and do a factory reset.

As I stated in the original post, if there isn't a solution that doesn't require a backup, then I will just do a clean install when I get around to it. Right now, I'm just looking for general trouble shooting that may lead to a quick fix.

I don't think there is one other than reboot. You can try to clear the caches in recovery and that may help

Do a full wipe and reinstall with a updated ROM or new DL of the old one. Backup your contacts of course but if you want to do something simple then boot into recovery a wipe cache then dalvik then fix permissions

no, you will lose nothing when clearing both caches, it cleans the cobwebs out, very safe todo and recommended, but wont solve every issue, recomendation is to start fresh with the issues you have, what rom are you on now

I figured as much, but I just really don't feel like doing a full, fresh start. I'm not sure exactly which ROM anymore. I've been running it for over 6 months and I think it was basically a beta type thing when I installed. To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised it lasted this long without a full wipe.

the reason to start fresh is to check for hardware problems

As it turns out, my problem was a usb cable that was shorting out. I finally noticed that it happened almost every time I plugged the cable in to charge the phone. As soon as I plugged it in, the phone would freeze and then black screen.
