I updated my htc sensation to ICS yesterday. There were no errors in the update process.
But once it was completed , i tried to unlock the phone by clicking the ring type unlock. It was not moving at all like the whole screen was not responding.Then i have done a hard reser/soft reset , but no luck.
Even in this condition The phone gets charged when connected to the PC & the time runs perfectly.
I tried all resets by removing the battery & re inserting.
Please help

Did you do a full wipe and install of the rom? Did you do any system data restores or by chance have noLed installed? Can you revert back to your prior build from a backup?
Cannot unlock after ICS Update

Yes, I did a hard rest.Even to do a data restore I cannot go to any options in the phone.Please let me know whats noLed.
If possible let me know how to revert back as I wish to do the same.
factory reset from the recovery ? tried it ?
go to bootloader ...select recovery ..then press vol +, vol - and power together (or just vol + , power dont remember well)
from there you will get some options ..do a factory reset there
and then reboot and see

I have found with my experience that these issues are caused from the sdcard and how it is formatted and partitioned. You can backup your sdcard and reformat it and/or partition it if you want. reverendkjr has some good tutorials on youtube you can watch for help starting with this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvU1CptOe14&feature=related or go to his profile here and he has them listed I think
I agree, probably an sdcard issue. Do you have any partitions? Are they set up correctly, ie fat, then ext then swap? Try taking the card out and booting up. Does it work? If so, then would almost point directly to sdcard problem. Answer and try that and we'll go from there. Need more info.
I tried remove the sdcard then reboot but it still does not work

Maybe can you explain the process of what you have done to get to this point?
I do like the guide in the video "Tutorial - Installing Dexter's Froyo on Milestone XT720"
by reverendkjr on Youtube
However, I missed the last step. I mean Wipe data/Reset Factory. Now, When I boot the phone, it's just appear a screen with android logo then black then that logo, that's all. I tried to reset it but I can't

Pull the battery and replace, turn on. As it turns on keep hold the power button with volume up til it boots to open recovery. When in O.R. restore all the rom again then do data wipe/reset

Hi i recently got a samsung nexus S, and i have not did any modifications to it like flashing custom roms on it or anything. So its straight up as original as it is.
But i seem to be having a problem with it now as it does not do a clean data wipe even if i do it with a hard reset? The one where u press and hold the power button and volume up. After that i tried doing a reset from the Settings section, it rebooted and came back on with everything still on my phone ! Nothing was deleted at all!
Anyone has any solutions to this?

Just go to settings -> privacy settings -> factory data reset.
yeah i did that, and it rebooted up, and everything was still there lol
Apps, contacts, and some settings like wifi info will automatically come back when u log into your Google account.

I've NEVER seen that happen before, I honestly think you're somehow doing it wrong.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
ok first a factory reset thru the settings option.
i went to settings > Privacy > factory data reset i dun think i can get that wrong.
when i do that it shuts off my phone. Reboots up, and i was expecting a clean phone. But everything is still there...
Nxt is hard reset, i shut off my phone, i press and hold the power and volume up until the recovery screen comes up, i select recovery, when the exclamation mark appears beside the android i press the power and volume up button again to bring up the menu and i select wipe data/factory reset. It says wiping...and when its done i select reboot system now, and it loads back to my phone ... with everything still there! hahah xD
unlock the bootloader, thatll automagically wipe the phone(and everything in storage).
hello, my friend just helped me with root/flash my phone, and the system supposedly did a factory reset.
But everything is still there =( im starting to think its a virus?
Im gonna scan it, but does anyone has any experience with these type of problems?

Like someone said before, if you don't uncheck it Google will automatically install apps from your market account after putting in your account data.
yes i unchecked it already, and i doubt google will put back all my mp3 and pictures even after i did a factory reset? I don't really think thats possible...
But anyways, yes i unchecked the automatic restore box.
sorry for the troubles im causing =(
*EDIT*
Do u guys think i would be able to format my phone by using my computer to format it like any other hard disk?
Factory reset doesn't wipe the (fake) SD card by default. Did you check the box for that?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
mp3's and pictures are not affected by a factory reset. to get rid of that stuff, do Menu > Settings > Storage > Erase USB storage.
i did that too, i even did the hard reset which supposedly wipes all data? But i reboot back in and my pattern password screen comes back up along with my usual wall paper. All my widgets still there and its like i've nvr done a reset before.

you're either not doing it right or restoring data from google... try doing it without logging back into google
i did not log back into anything, i even switched to a prepaid card to make sure i had no connections to the outside world at all lol xD
anyways derek can u please tell me what im doing wrong? I am sure i followed all the steps correctly. And the screen prompted me to make sure i wanted to erase all data, i clicked yes, and it proceeds to the "wiping data" but then when i reboot it back, everything is still there.
EDIT* I found a thread mentioning a factory format code *2767*3855# in this forum, i tried it, and it tells me connection problem or invalid MMI code. Anyone knows what gives?
please download the stock images for your phone and flash them with fastboot.
fastboot flash data data.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Did you remove the battery while the phone was performing the factory reset? If yes, that is a big NO NO! You can brick some Android devices (Samsungs especially) by doing that. Turn the phone on again by holding the down button and allow it to complete the factory reset procedure.
If it still won't boot then you need to flash Clockworkmod Recovery and then use that to perform a proper factory reset.
If that doesn't work you are going to need to flash a nandroid backup of the stock rom to get it all back to square one. After you are done if you want stock recovery you can use the One Click flasher to restore the stock recovery.
Don't take the battery out in a situation like that.

Hi all,
I have a Samsung SII (T989) that's running rooted ICS 4.1.2 (tmobile)
and I enabled whole disk encryption that has been working fine for several months.
.
For some reasons, it did not accept my password to unlock now and it kept
asking me for password. It said after 20 tries it will erase so I entered after 20 times
and now it counts down saying that I have -10 tries and every time I entered a wrong
password, it just got to -1 more.
Is there a way to bypass this or how do I wipe it out back to stock? there is no option
to restore it back to stock?
yes, this is my phone and I am so frustrated. You all can see that I have been on this board for a long while.
I appreciate all your help.

You can boot in recovery (stock or custom, doesn't matter) and do a data / cache wipe. Or simply factory reset the phone.
If you still face problems, you can flash back to stock rom from odin.

You remember how you booted into recovery while rooting using the button combo?
Just boot into recovery mode and you will see options like apply update from sdcard
wipe data/reset phone
wipe cache etc.
Select wipe data/reset phone using volume up/down for scrolling througj options and home button for ok/select.
You will be asked for confirmation. Select yes and then reboot from the options you will get once it is done. Your device will be usable as it is. But you will loose all your data like contacts messages apps etc. You won't loose anything from sdcard though.
And just use the thanks button herafter for saying thanks.

Hi all,
can I get some help again...
I finally was able to get back to it.
The question now is:
- I cannot scroll any screen. I'm using Nova but I couldn't use my finger to scroll up and down?
It seems to be fine but I just couldn't scroll any screen.
- I couldn't pull down the status bar.
Basically, I could run any app that's on the screen, but I couldn't scroll
If this of any help: when I unlock the screen by pushing the numbers, I had to do every key twice
for it to register. For ex, to unlock the screen, before, I push '123', now I have to push '112233'
then ok twice for it to unlock. Everything is double.
Please help. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Never mind. Found that the setting->accessibility->explore by touch' was turned on for some reason and this made it unresponsive.
Turning it off made everything back to normal.
I have the ATT model g2. it was running android 4.2.2 and i rooted. i got an OTA notification yesterday so i unrooted it, and uninstalled busybox. and went ahead with the update. now, my phone does not turn on. you go to turn it on and the lg logo flashes for a second or two, then a black screen, if you look closely you can tell that the screen panel is still lit, but nothing shows up. It will not boot to download mode, and it does boot to the (stock lg, not custom) recovery, but when i hit the power button to do the hard reset, i get the black screen again, and no boot. when i connect it to my computer, it gives me a bunch of popups saying that i need to reformat a drive before i can use it, somewhere around 15-20 of them? ive run out of ideas to fix it. any and all help is appreciated. :crying::crying::crying::crying: would really like my g2 back, im back to my old phone which was a nexus 5 that has a terribly cracked screen, and i really like to get the g2 back rather than having to pay to get my screen replaced.

No it was stock recovery. I tried installing recover with the twrp app but it didn't work so it was a stock LG recovery.

did you try to factory reset in stock recovery along with wiping the usual,cache and dalvik?
Tried using the stop recovery factory reset, that's all lg's recovery can do. It says factory reset processing like normal but then the screen goes black again. LG stock recovery can't wipe the cache and dalvik afaik
