hello i was on stock rom only just rooted and using link2sd but today i unroot my phone and then did a factory reset from setting and i got a bootloop thanks to my nandroid i recovered from it.but my question is why i got bootloop when i was not on root? is it coz bootloader is unlocked? does that also need to be relocked and then do factory reset?

In Stock Rom you always get a bootloop after do factory reset.......and if you are rooted then why you are on stock if you loved stock then there are many other GB roms without this problem and they are good but I prefer to use ICS roms the one rom Walkman Sense by new to hacking is good
try this and leave Stock according to me..:good:

You are bricked and now you can only recover your phone by flashing its stock rom......and it is available in xda.....but according to me also give a try to Walkman Sense Rom Excellent and no bug and you can also increase your internal memory to GB I used it with 2gb.:highfive:

i have my nandroid backup of both rooted and non rooted i just want to know how i will not get into bootloop after doing factory reset cause if i need to sell or exchange my device shopkeeper here will first do factory reset and if it gets into bootloop then he will complain

I think the non rooted backup will solved your problem............BTW walkman sense rom have android version 4.0 and it can factory restored so its better to sell it after upgrade.....Or just enjoy it because pico have many roms than any other .:good:

means if i put non rooted backup in mob and then try to do factry reset it will not go to bootloop?
does bootloader also needs to be relocked after unroot pico to avoid factry reset?

factory reset?

I have a question that needs an answer
I installed VU on my inspire 4g. i have all my contacts on it and such . however i am giving that phone to my wife now. can i do a factory restore and it will restore it to the way VU was originaly installed without my apps and my contacts?

Yes you can, just either do the wipe user data option from clockworkmod recovery, or do a factory reset from the options.
thank you !

No don't do that. Custom roms install things that will be deleted if you factory reset. Then it will bootloop or be missing apps do a master clear and then reflash the rom
what is the master clear? how do you do that? and you say flash the ROM, do you mean the stock ROM from HTC?

That depends on which rom she wants. If its her first android rom and you want to shoot for a stock feel then yes do the stock HTC rom. If she is comfortable with a custom rom then do a full wipe and then reinstall VU. Custom roms install things to the data partition which gets wiped when you do a factory reset causing apps to force close or not be there and depending on the custom tweaks it can also cause a bootloop at times.

[Q] noob question on factory reset vs flashing stock

Hey guys, its my first post and I tried searching the forums and google for the answer but didn't seem to find any.
I have the s3 SCHi535-VRLHE firmware and rooted my phone with through Noxious Ninja's walkthrough. During the process (Win7 4bit) after installing the drivers I let windows update update my drivers and cause a conflict with the 1.4.6 drivers. Should of stopped there but went through with rooting anyway (I know I'm a noob).
I have not flashed any custom ROMs after I rooted so my question is what's the difference between a factory reset vs. flashing the stock rom back onto my phone now?
Looking forward to reading and hopefully learning something from your responses!

A factory reset will just clear out your user data. You should probably put a stock ROM on your exSDcard, boot into recovery, wipe data, then flash the ROM. That will put you back to stock. Though you'll still be rooted and unlocked.

If I already did a factory wipe/reset is it safe to flash the stock rom onto that or do I have to root again?

[Q] factory reset after modifiying system files ?

hi
i iv rooted my Galaxy grand neo gti-9060 with Vroot
i used some (root) tool to delete bloatware apps and i modified the system's resolution,
i wonder, if i do a factory reset from the setting in the phone menu, after all of that, what would happen to the phone
can i do a factory reset without being afraid from bricking my phone
if so, any advices ?
btw i searched, all users asked same question, but am the only one modified the system files i think
bump
@manhab, it won't brick you, but since it only wipes the /data partition, you won't be 100% back to stock.
To really do a full wipe and revert to stock, flash your device's stock ROM in a custom recovery.

Your phone won't be factory reset because some system apps are not there and you don't have stock recovery....

If you have recovery i think you can do a Wipe Data. I guess this is the same as doing a factory reset, but you will keep every change on system level.

G920f reflash without wipe

Hi.
I wanna get back in pokemon go and my only viable option seems to be reflashing stock as unrooting don't work.
I'm running rooted stock mm with twrp and supersu and wanna reflash stock mm but without wiping my apps/data.
Can this be done? Do I use odin/flashfire/flashify/something else?
Plz help

Hi
You would have to use odin to reflash and you would loose twrp aswell as root if you go to sammobile.com and look for your device you can flash it clean
REMEBER TO BACKUP MEDIA EVERYTHING WILL GO
Ive read numerous guides now stating that flashing stock image via odin will not wipe anything. Is this true?
I'm gonna reflash same version of tw to try to clean out root issues with PoGo but i wanna keep user data...
