Restore to stock

I have a rooted droid mini with pwnmymoto. How can I factory reset it? Using the option under privacy, it just reboots the phone. Doesn't matter whether I keep root or not, just need to get it wiped.

I would also like to know how to fix this for the future. I currently dont need to but my recovery is messed up and i only installed it shortly than removed it as I decided I dont think i need root this time around as the stock rom runs great.

I too have been looking for steps to wipe and return to stock. I think I disabled too many pre-installed apps and now sometimes Chrome won't open properly when clicking on links. I see the factory reset option under settings, but was too nervous to try that because I couldn't find anything on the net about if the internal storage is wiped. Not trying to lose all pics and such. For the Maxx to be a couple of months old I expected more when searching Google.

Factory reset doesn't actually seem to work....

My understanding is that pwnmymoto hijacks the stock recovery, which is used when you do a factory reset. If you can figure out how to obtain and flash the stock recovery in fastboot then the factory reset would probably work. Though, if you're going that far, you should probably just restore to stock entirely.
This guide should help, and this thread can point you to a place to find the stock firmware.

What about for the Mini?

you can easily return to stock, use RSD Lite computer program, just search it...or i can try upload it. After you get that app, make sure you have 7zip or something similar...after that, go to this site here > http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
there is a guide here but i may not be able to actually post...i am going to so i can help people who don't know how to return to stock...so, here it is

mods if the link above isn't allowed, notify me or just remove it. Thanks and sorry in advance if i broke a rule

I was able to get my maxx back to stock with this: droidrzr .com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto
I did a wipe with the twrp safestrap and hit something I shouldn't have. All I could do was get to recovery. Now she's good as new!

wait, so you have safestrap for your maxx?? is it compatible with the Mini and Ultra as well? they are all the same except batter so i am assuming it should be fine...

Yeah it should. Check under Droid Ultra General then look for Safestrap! Link is in the second post. I'm still new otherwise I'd post it here.

Hi everyone, I need to restore to stock my Droid MAXX. Is it possible also with root? it doesn't go on fastboot mode pressing power+vol- , it goes on recovery mode. By the way, does the guide linked by ahjee works on droid MAXX? (sorry but I can't post links , it is the unbrick, unroot and restore link)
Wich firmware should I flash for MAXX? I have to edit the xml file?
This is my first motorola phone and I don't know how to do with this phone, until now I only flashed Sony firmwares with flashtool.
Thank you very much

by all means, if you're traveling to Canada then update away haha

Lmao wow. That's the most pitiful update ever. Seriously, couldn't they have waited until there was something more substantial and then included Canadian roaming in THAT update. As always though, Verizon is dumber than a bag of hammers...

i was so sure this was a KK upgrade. been looking around for how to retain root if you take it. thanks for the info!

Hey guys, I have a question about this update,
My friend has the S3 for whom I safe- rooted, debloated and whatnot. Now that this update came, my friend tried to update but to no avail. She is adamant about the fact that Verizon definitely has something important hidden in the update, despite me trying to tell her otherwise, and figured that she couldn't install the update because she was rooted.
Naturally, I fully unroot her entire phone, uninstall root-only apps, and try the update, but it doesn't work. When the phone reboots for installation, the installation bar loads for a bit,hangs, then just says "error" and does not update.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Normally I wouldn't care so much, but if Android 4.4 is actually coming to the S3 then I don't want her not to have it, and I can already tell it's not going to work if this update doesn't either.
Thank you so much in advance.

Some of the bloatware you removed likely had to be present on the phone in order for the update to take place. Unless you are sure someone is never going to go back to stock without flashing an ODIN tar image and wiping their phone clean, best to just freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup. That way you can just unfreeze it in order to go back to full stock. Unless you have a list of the bloatware you removed and can somehow sideload them back in, you will unfortunately have to flash her phone to full stock VRUCML1 and wipe it clean.

Ah, I see, next time I'm around her I'll re-root it and backup all her stuff with titanium backup, flash the VRUCML1 and factory reset, then restore everything and see if it works.
Strangely enough, when the same update for my Verizon Note 2 came out, I was able to update while rooted even though I unsinatalled theexact same system apps I did on her phone. How strange.
Nonetheless, thank you so much.

I have a question for you all. I took the OTA update for 4.3 when it came out but after that I rooted my gs3 Verizon phone again successfully. Now I also took this last update and now lost root on my phone. I tried to reroot the phone but it fails now. There error I get on safestrap is something about the addresses not being able to be found. Can anyone help me reroot my phone so my apps like titanium will work again?
Thanks

[Q] Help Please!

So I have a VZW S3 on NE1 rooted and running xposed. I am not sure what module it was that I installed but my phone is now stuck with the SystemUI constantly crashing to the point of me being unable to use the phone. Then I, like a moron, Unrooted my phone thinking that would stop the issue. It didn't. I do have usb debugging enabled and my phone connects to the computer. Can I just boot into recovery and use the Xposed-disabler-recovery zip to fix this? will that wreck my phone since VZW is so annoying? Would that wipe my memory? And if that doesn't work what else could I do except pull everything I can off my phone and and reflash the entire thing using Odin?
Thanks a million!

TWRP & Flashify work with this?
Sorry for my noobie question, but I rooted back in April with WeakSauce & TWRP and also installed Flashify. I am fuzzy on what I did and now, I am afraid of bricking my phone through ignorance.
Can I use these files to upgrade to 4.4.3 on my Verizon HTC One M8? If so, what is the most straightforward way to do this? Can I use Flashify or TWRP to load the OP6ZBIMG.ZIP file?
Thanks

I was able to get back to stock by following this guide I found here: http://www.bane-tech.com/how-to-return-htc-one-m8-verizon-to-stock-s-on-relock-bootloader-unrootuninstall-supersu/
Everything worked great until the final step of removing SuperSU. I was unable to remove SuperSU using all methods I could find. It remains as a system app, but I am no longer rooted.
My intentions were to return it to stock for the warranty screen replacement by HTC, so I took the risk and hid SuperSU in the app drawer and sent it in for the warranty work. It came back fixed and factory reset, but SuperSU was still there. I still wanted to return my phone to a complete stock experience in case I need to return it to Verizon, so I took a risk of taking the OTA released in September, thinking it would wipe SuperSU out of the system apps. Somehow, the OTA left SuperSU in tact. I also noticed that the stock camera app was limited to only camera or selfie mode. Video, Zoe and the others weren't able to be accessed. Has anyone else experienced these issues, or have any recommendations for fixing them? I am considering taking the HTC Eye OTA due soon from Verizon, hoping that will fix my problems, but I'm not too confident since the last OTA didn't work as expected.

That's because that is a crap guide. You turned s on before removing su which turned on /system write protection and basically write protected your su app.
You must remove su after locking bootloader and making sure all is well with lock and tamper status. You should only turn s on AFTER this is all verified.

You don't need to unroot. If you have not modified system apps and you have stock recovery the ota will flash.

Su doesn't matter. You are going to need it to fix your problem. Did you make changes (like hotspot hack) to the default.xml file?
Actually. An easy way to fix it is to either flash a totally stock Rom or flash the official ruu i I have posted in the non dev section. It doesn't wipe and would put you back to 100% stock and let you take the ota

I'm on complete stock (not even rooted) and I've been having this problem for a while. I found out that sometimes when it happens, I can fix it by restarting my phone, but it goes back to being broken soon after. I noticed that it started to happen after I installed the Google now launcher, leading me to believe that it's a ram problem (and hence restarting will help) so I uninstalled a bunch of useless apps and now I use about 1g ram at idle, and the problem still persists.
This morning, I updated with the new OTA (4.4.4 and HTC Eye) and the problem is still here. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

You are s on too right? If so I don't have an option for you yet. Your system files are write protected which means the most you can do is clear data for the app or factory reset. Are you using an SD card and if so does it make a difference which storage location you use?

How can I unroot my device safely?

I want to bring my phone back to normal mode. Buy normal mode I mean I want to basically bring my phone back to the beginning/stock. I want to receive OTA's, every latest updates. I don't want root anymore, none of that, I want my phone back to normal/stock.
So how could I do this without messing anything up? - My Nexus 5 device is only rooted, it is not running on any ROM, it has TWRP Recovery, and that's about it.. I'm bored and tired of root and want to go back to normal.

Does the root app have a full uninstall/unroot option?

Obviously you will get all ota updates as long as you are completely stock without root.. and what does that mean by 'complete usless'? You need to flash properly.
