I have unlocked (with the htcdev method) and rooted my ATT Status (ChaCha). I used Titanium Backup to remove most of the AT&T bloatware. I have installed several new apps from the market. I have enabled "Back up my settings" and synchronized with my google account.
If I do a Factory Data Reset what happens? Do I have to re-root? Do I recover my apps and settings from Google? Any other suggestions?
You mean nobody out there has reset their phone after rooting it?
Your phone will be rooted, because factory reset respects the system partition. Your bloatware will also be gone.
You will probably get all your old apps from the market, unless you reboot before it finishes (at least this is what I always get).
I suggest you to install Titanium Backup,and backup everything.
Thanks. I have backed up everything with Titanium backup.

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.
Droid2 Rooted.
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??
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

hello ..
today i got update to ics in my sensation but my wifi was stoped
If you restore the factory settings Will I lose the update of the system or not, ice-cream.
Nah, that just wipes the data partition, whereas the system hangs out at /system/, you're safe.
What will happen is that on your next boot it will prompt you to enter your google ID and all that again.
All your settings will be gone. Your apps will be gone. It'll be like you just took the phone out of the box, only it'll be an ICS ROM.
Your data on your SD card will be uneffected. If you are rooted, back up the apps using Titanium first.
Ok, let me start by saying that I fully expect that I screwed something up, but here goes...
My 4G had stopped working and I decided now was the time to root and unlock my phone, since Verizon recommended a factory reset to fix the 4G issue. I rooted and unlocked my Jelly Bean OTA using this great thread and installed Titanium Backup to get a full backup of everything. I ran the factory reset (that was probably how I screwed something up) and (I think) reran the root and unlock steps (maybe didn't need to). Then, I restored everything using Titanium (pro version). No surprise really that 4G still didn't work (subsequent new SIM took care of that issue).
But, even with the "bad" SIM and the new "good" 4G-capable SIM, I'm not receiving ANY notifications for my apps. Nothing for Gmail or Google Voice. In fact, those apps actually seem to require opening them and pressing on the refresh icon to actually receive new emails/text messages. I have everything set to autosync and to provide notifications.
Any idea what I screwed up and how I can fix it? Since I've got a good backup of everything on an external microSD card, I'm wide open to suggestions here.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide. This is driving me crazy not having my notifications! :crying:
That sounds sketchy. It doesn't sound like you did anything incorrectly. Here are my suggestions...
Make sure your Google account is set to sync
In recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache In recovery, under advanced, fix permissions
If all that doesn't work, I may try another full factory reset. Then in TiBu only install apps (without data), and then restore only select app's data individually.
Hope that helps.

This exact thing happened to me. I was stressing out big time - even thought it was the ROM I was running that was messing things up. I was constantly sending myself test emails and waiting to see if they would be pushed to my phone (GMAIL).
The problem was my Titanium Backup Restore. If possible, do a factory reset of your phone - with whatever ROM you like. Before restoring your apps and data, try manually adding your gmail account and send some test messages. I'd be willing to be you will receive push notifications.
If so, try restoring your backup but uncheck and gmail related items. This solved my problem - let me know how it works for you!
I got antsy before I was able to see these messages and went ahead and flashed back to full stock. Verified all notifications are working correctly, and proceeded with all the OTA updates to get me back to Jelly Bean. Now, I'm going to re-root and unlock. I'll restore selectively on apps and not restore Gmail or Google Voice, though it really did seem like ALL notifications were somehow stopped.
I'll post back with my results.
Thanks so much!

Actually, this brings up a question, once you're rooted and unlocked, what exactly does a "factory reset" reset you to?
Thanks.
It wipes the /data partition. Basically all user apps+data.
You will remain on the same ROM, retain root and your bootloader will still be locked :thumbup:

Is this from the standard menu factory data reset or only through the custom recovery?
Thanks.
