I recently rooted my pico...i have read in many forums that u dont have to factory reset or it'll be a brick, so what exactly the cwm recovery option "wipe data/factory reset" do ?
And one more thing, i wipe the data today from cwm and chose reboot system now but it was struck on the boot screen
Luckily i had a nandroid backup which i restored succesfully !! What basically is the problem ??
A help would really be appreciated !!

What you read was correct, but that is the factory reset in the bootloader menu.. which is the white screen you get when you press the power + vol down button combo..
When you do a factory reset/data wipe from the RECOVERY, all it does is delete all the user data.. that is, apps, contacts, messages, basically everything you, as a user do on the phone, switching the phone back to factory condition, ie, clean.. if you do a factory reset at the white screen, ie, bootloader, then the ROM also gets wiped.. That is a soft brick.. Hard bricking is not possible in HTC phones, without S-OFF..
So no need to worry... Sometimes, doing a factory reset makes the phone go into a 'bootloop', ie, the phone does not go beyond the boot animation.. It remains stuck there.. In such a case, all you have to do is flash the ROM again, and you'll be good to go..
Ok...i got it
Thanks for the info....cheers mate:beer:

Anybody know how to enter stock recovery? button combination?
Ive tried power on plus up, and power on plus down. I would just flash CWM and make it easy, but i might be returning the phone to tmobile for my screen bleed soon and want the phone to remain stock for now.
SO anyone know how to get into stock recovery?
On the dev forum there's an image of the stock recovery. Sorry i'm on the phone
why? what are you trying to do? if you never flashed cwm, vol. down and power will do a factory reset. as of now, there is no way to enter the stck recovery. just a factory reset.

Not true.
I posted a way to get to stock recovery
Download rom manager
Go to settings, SD and phone storage then unmount phone storage
Now
Go to rom manager and reboot into recovery then it takes you to a screen when you hit home and it shows the blue stock recovery screen....
Not sure how to make selections though

Hi there, this evening I was on the forums, looking for an easy way to root my S3. I followed the steps exactly, and got it rooted. I then went to flash Cyanogen mod 10. I booted into recovery, wiped the cache, and installed the .zip and the gapps.zip. Well I rebooted it from CWM, and it just sits at the boot screen. I've turned it off and tried booting into recovery by holding both volume buttons and the power button, but it just boots up normally back to the CM10 screen. So, I cant seem to get it into recovery, or anything. Please lend me your knowledge.
Did you unlock the bootloader?

Recovery is volume up, power, and home. Just boot your phone up by holding all 3.
p.s. - if all you did was wipe cache before going from Stock (ICS) to CM10 (JB) - bad idea. You should always wipe cache, data and dalvik as well if you're going from ICS to JB or vice versa.
You should also format the system when changing base versions (4.0 to 4.1). Especially on aosp roms, and definitely when returning to tw. Most roms incorporate this, but it is evident that it does not always clean it out fully all the time. True clean install is factory data reset/cache/dalvik/format system.

I did unlock the boot loader. I used the EZ Unlock. But it said that status was unknown. I clicked unlock though and it said it unlocked the boot loader. And there was only one option when I was in CWM, to wipe the cache (it might have been the data I can't quite remember) but either way there were no choices to wipe the data, cache, and dalvik. I tried holding the power, volume down, and home. It said it was downloading, but I let it sit overnight and it never did anything.

Recovery is volume UP, power, and home. Downloading is down. Download mode is when you connect it to your computer to flash firmware via ODIN. CWM definitely has options to wipe data and cache on the main area, with wiping dalvik as an option in advanced options.
I'm very sorry everyone. I took it to my brother and he fixed it for me. Thank you for being so helpful though I just booted to recovery and wiped the cache, dalvik and data. Then it booted up good. I wish I was good with technology

Well, I had been pressing the wrong buttons when trying to boot into recovery *facepalm*. Also, I was too dumb to look in the advanced options for the other options, like wiping the cache, data, Dalvik, etc. Pretty much me just being a noob at all that is technology haha
Edit: Oops, I meant to post this in Q&A :/
I was running CM10 with cwm recovery and decided to odin back to stock VRALF2.
It said succeeded, but now my phone is stuck on the 4GLTE screen... Not sure what to do?
You didn't factory reset your phone.
Boot into recovery by powering off your phone then hold vol down+home+power until you get to recovery. Now, if it's blue text it's stock recovery and will wipe everything off your internal sd card. I'm fairly confident that you will have stock recovery after flashing VRALF2.
Do the factory reset/data wipe and you should be fine.
Same thing happened to me. Flashed stock and stuck on screen. Had to return due to screen defect. It has been months and it seems I am clear with Verizon. No charges for software alterations or anything of that nature

htc explorer crashes and reboots again and again
SIZE="4"] Try to fix it , all you have to do is, turn on the phone by holding the on button and the volume - (down) button,boot you into recovery mode, scroll down to recovery then click the power button, when it loads up, look for the option that says "wipe data/factory reset select options on this menu, then if it is there click also on wipe cache partition, then click reboot at the top. Hope this works fine for you.[/SIZE]

Did you backed up your whole data using recovery mode???
If yes than wipe your factory/data, wipe cache partition ,go to advance wipe your dalvik cache, wipe your battery stats and restore your backup
then reboot your phone its done....
and if didnt backup try to flash different rom or download stock rom for your device and flash it...
