Factory wipe including SD - HTC Sensation

I was wondering if I do a factory wipe with SD VIA settings will I lose all patches and kernel I have? I'm on insertcoin.....basically will it affect anything? And will i lose my theme?
Note I know it will delete everything.

I have the same Question, what i did to my phone was:
S-Off --> Flash stock room --> Update to 2.3.4 --> Unlock bootloader --> Flash CWM Recovery 5.0.20 --> Rooted ....
What will happen if i do factory reset? Will it come to the room that is as original when i bought the phone?
Note: i want it to be S-Off and rooted but with stock Recovery @[email protected] I am new to Android as this is my 1st time using so i wont dare to try if i do not understand ^_^

Well see I did it once and everything was gone but I was still on IC but then some fc's and phone was getting hot......so is it suppose to do that?
That's y I'm asking cause I don't know what to check for

My understanding is a reset will not affect s-off, root, or Rom. And it will not clear your sd card.

Ok maybe after I do a factory reset maybe I should do the wipes..........and u can choose to clear Ur SD or not

Recovery - help please !!!!!

Hi,
I have a problem as I came from another rom android 2.3.5 - sense 3.5 using 4EXT as a clockrecovery.
In order to install a ICS rom, I start to move the new XE firmware (.img) to my SD card and installed the "Optional FULL WIPE to EXT4 patch (FTP)" running with Rom Manager as a clockrecovery.
I updated the firmware on the hboot but my Sensation doesn't reboot anymore.
It stick on the "white screen htc".
Help please !!!!
Did you flash the firmware.zip file that was made? You must boot into recovery again because the firmware updates everything making everything reset in a while so just reflash again and your good to go

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes. The firmware was updated, but when phone boot it came all the time to firmware update option as I have the new PG58IMG on the SD.
I don't have the possibility to go to the recovery again
Just take it sd card out and delete it that file by PC then u can boot in to recovery.

Factory reset Desire S rooted

hi. My Desire S is S-OFF and rooted, and it's running endymion ROM, what will happen if i factory reset the phone? Will i lose my root? Will it go back to S-ON? What will happen to the phone after doing a factory reset? Thanks!
All the data on your phone such as all apps, wallpapers, any settings that you changed, etcwill be erased.
Your device will still remain rooted and s-off after the Factory reset. If this helps, please use the thank

Are you sure? It will still have the same ROM? Or stock ROM? And Can i update the software through OTA, even though it's rooted and S-OFF?
pls reply
After the Factory reset, u'll have the same rom as u do now which I guess is endymon, and since you currently are not running the stock rom, you won't receive any updates from HTC as those updates are only for stock roms.

Randomly rebooting phone.

Okay so my phone is randomly rebooting at the moment. It's happened 4 times today that my phone has suddenly just rebooted. Happened twice when I opened opera and once when I started a game and once when I got a call. This has happened after I flashed the Bricked kernel. This never happened before that. I'm using the Virtuous Inquisition rom. How can I get rid off this problem?

First. When u ask a problem question need to put down your phone information. Firmware? ROM? Kernel? S on or off? Reboots are usually user error. Need the full inforo.
I've mentioned the stuff in the post.
I'm using the Virtuous Inquisition rom on the 3.32 fw with the Bricked kernel.

Are you using 4EXT recovery? If the answer is yes then I strongly suggest you do this.
Reboot in Recovery.
Select Backup | Restore.
Select Advanced Backup.
Select Data.
Let the operation complete it's task.
Now to be safe do a Nandroid of your actual ROM also.
---
Stay in Recovery and now select Toggle USB Storage
Backup all your personal stuff like Music, Photos (DCIM folder) and the clockworkmod folder as it contain your rom backup, etc. Keep just the minimum.
---
Power down your phone.
Once done Format your µSD card with this utility.
Then Download this Wipe utility and leave it on your phone Sd card.
Download a fresh copy of your preferred rom and deposit the file at the root of your µSd card.
Reinsert your µSd card in the phone.
---
Reboot in Recovery by holding Volume down and by pressing Power.
Select Recovery.
Select Install from SD card.
Navigate to the SuperWipe utility and flash it.
Now flash the rom you want.
Set your preferred option in the installer.
Once installed reboot your phone and let it settle for 15 mins. Don't do nothing yet.
Set your preferred language and skip the rest.
Reboot the phone.
---
Now you can set the rest of your things.
Let Play store restore your apps.
Once done, reboot in Recovery.
Select Toggle USB Storage menu.
Put your prior saved personal stuff, at least the clockworkmod folder as it contain your backups.
Select Backup | Restore
Select Restore
Select Advanced Restore
Select Data
Navigate to the latest backup and confirm.
Once done, Select Tool.
Select Fix permissions | UID/GID mismatches.
Select Wipe | Format
Select Wipe Cache + Dalvik
Reboot.
---
Navigate to Superuser app
Update binary file.
Enjoy your rom.

If you flashed latest bricked kernel.. Then update the firmware.. To 3.33 and don't do gpu over clock while installing (both 2D and 3D gpu)

No boot... Phone crash..

Okay, my HTC Sensation does not boot at all. Even when i run the stock Firmware... It has S-OFF Revolutionary... The only ROM that works is the ViperS and that also comes along with the issue that says com.android.phone has stopped working, along with that the wifi does not work... I've tried EVERYTHING! Can anyone help me please?!
Make sure you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33. Also download 4ext recovery.It's a great recovery and really easy to use.you're soff so you should after doing those things be able to place Rom at root of sd card, do wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik then install from sd card and reboot. Make sure to have your nandroid backup to be safe. You shouldn't have a issue after doing these things.

I've flashed both 3.23 and 3.33 and still no progress and also i already have that recovery..... And i never did a nandroid backup so i'm stuck!
OK try to wipe everything aside from your sdcard from recovery. Then Install the rom twice, then reboot. Also have you used the superwipe script? Some roms, mostly aosp/aokp roms are not compatible with it. Let us know
