[Q] Please help a noob... - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, sorry in advance for my silly question, I have just installed a factory ROM on my LG E900 (optimus 7) and have the version 7.0.7004.0... after that I have unlocked the phone usind the phones registry editor (not chevron) and I think everything went well (no errors)... but after all that I made a factory reset on the phone, now my question is: do I need to unlock it again after factory reset or it remained unlock anyway? Thanks in advance for any assistance and for your pacience as well.

What do you mean by factory reset?
Also there is one easy way to test - try sideload an application.
I would imagine that a reset would set your phone back to the way it was when you got it / after flashing it.

Nothing will happen. You will not brick your device.
By soft reset I mean Factory Data Reset to set it up as a new device?
Will it remove the root privileges?
Sorry for asking again.
Thanks advance
No it just resets the ROM.

Just for clarification...
Factory reset will reset your data partition, not system. Your ROM lives in the system partition and all of your apps, preferences, etc live in data. So doing a factory reset will simply wipe all of your application data.

factory resetting your devices deletes all the information/saved data/your apps. Its not possible. BTW why you need to factory restore?

Factory reset phone with root and twrp

Hello guys, yesterday I sold my phone. Now im trying to factory reset my Oneplus one in the menu. But when I do that it reboots and gets in a TWRP bootloop. I already backedup my data on my new phone, so I just want to get rid of everything. When I reboot the phone nothing has changed and all my apps and data are still there. Anyone have an idea what I should do? Thanks in advance.

Simply boot into Recovery, tap Wipe and swipe to begin the process. Doing so will perform a regular Factory Reset.

The best way to ensure that the device is ready for sale is by flashing the stock images with fastboot. See section 8 of my guide:

Well the method that I suggested will ensure that the phone is back to a 100% stock state, exactly as it came out of the box.

I've read that your files are still accessible even after a factory reset unless you encrypt them?

Hi, doing a factory rest is your best option. This will wipe all of your personal data off of the phone, it cannot then later be retrieved by a new owner of the phone.
Just perform a hard factory reset on your device. Then fill the device's internal memory with blank txt files and perform another hard factory reset on it again. This way you can be sure that nobody will be able to recover the data that was stored on your device.

Forgot unlock password

Hi, I have forgot my password for unlocking the phone and now I need help because I dont want to restore it and loosing all the data (pictures and so on). Is there any way, please helpp
I think the only solution is to factory reset from recovery, if you can do that.
SORRY.. i think factory reset is the only way..
also i heard another way which requires twrp to be installed , but i dont recomend it, bcause it caused some serious problems to some ppl..
Do you maybe know if there is any possibility for me to recover the lost photos after?

Unlocking the boot loader to flash TWRP wipes the phone. Factory reset wipes the phone. Bottom line don't forget the password

Thanks anyway
Yeah sadly with Android 5.0+ you need root to get rid of any lockscreen security. The only way is to factory reset if you want to remove it. But sadly as mentioned rooting would wipe the phone since you have to unlock the bootloader.

it's good if you think about it ... what if a stranger wanted to get your photo's txt and contacts ?
that's the whole point in having the password in the first place
