I am helping a buddy with his Infuse 4G, and his USB port is broken. He has a stock rom on it, but it's still rooted. He needs to replace it for a CLNR replacement phone but we gotta unroot first. How can this be done without ODIN? In the stock recovery it has a flash package option, can it be done that way? If so where can I find the file? The only problem is that SuperUser won't go away lol
Are u going thru att to get the phone replaced if so i sent mine back with root still on it with no problems so to speak but see this thread for further info and see if its something that will help u out at least deleting the system files. Just an idea
I figured it won't be too big of a deal as long as it looks stock with no special boot animations or something, I had a friend return a phone to T mobile that had root but nothing otherwise, stock recovery, etc. But my friend is quite worried because it can be an insane .
won't doing a factory reset from settings > privacy unroot it? it wipes your SD card, so this should be all that you have to do...

I dont think that unroots it...i think there is a master crazy dialer code that might. i was undery the impression that factory reset is just the same as wiping data

Wiping cleared all but super user, what's the dialer code?

Tried both reset related ones, no luck. Sounds like he is just returning it and praying lol
i rooted and unlocked the phone. Just did a factory reset and returned it. Full refund no question ask at all.
Hey guys, need full CWM backup or TWRP backup. Phone always shows 77% battery state, flash original and custom roms does not resolve my problem. Thanks a lot.
Have you tried RUUing?

Download an original, imo UrDroid, for an easier installation. Same thing happened to me, or try to hard reboot your phone, hold power and down volume, let it shut off and repeat until you are in bootloader -> factory reset then reboot

No! Never factory reset in bootloader on a modified phone! It corrupts the sd card. You need to learn more before you start giving advice, giving advice when you don't know what you're doing is dangerous, you'll damage someone's phone. Plus, he already stated that changing ROMs didn't work. He needs to run an RUU.

factory resetting from bootloader will load his recovery, and, I've tried RUU as well, and I don't think they will work unless you can access your phone, which I don't know if he can, I think I got mixed up with another thread.

You're completely mixed up. Factory resetting from bootloader will corrupt his sd card. You only ever factory reset in recovery. Never, ever factory reset in bootloader. He never said he had problems accessing recovery, he said he needs a backup to restore via recovery. RUU will work perfectly fine, his only problem is that the battery icon is always showing 77%
@element100500
NEVER FACTORY RESET IN BOOTLOADER, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS OTHER PERSON'S ADVICE. What you need to do is run an RUU, make sure you have s-off first though.

I was confused with the thread from the guy who installed a wrong OTA Update, any who, Bootloader factory reset was always a fast way for me to do it, and didn't have any errors. Thanks, though.

Do you have this phone? Factory reset in bootloader on an unlocked One XL results in a corrupt sd card.

Ok, well like I said before, do some more learning before giving out advice. I'm not trying to be mean, but giving advice when you don't know enough could have catastrophic results. For example: if this guy had followed your advice to factory reset in bootloader he would have lost all of the data on his sd card. I doubt you want to be responsible for that.

i flashed RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial rom, MIUI rom, tried factory reset using recovery, but had no luck.
this phone comes to me with deat boot (qhsusb_dload), i erase all flash memory and resurrect bootloader, imei, recovery, etc after.
now phone fully worked, but shows only 77%, shows charging with usb connect, but really did not charge, and wan't startup when battery low. think battery calibration losed after erase.
so if you can make backup on working phone - please give me.
sorry for bad english, my native language is russian
I'd love to, but I only have a small data allowance so I can't upload a file that big. I hope someone else sees this and can help you out though.

I think you are mixed up about a great many things, and should not be dispensing advice.
What on earth does doing a factory reset in hboot have to do with getting into recovery? All it will do is bork up the SD.

Hey everyone,
I am new to the android phone arena and would appreciate some help.
I bought the nexus 5, rooted it and was attempting to flash CyanogenMod 11. I didnt realize I need a windows computer to do and was trying to do it through the phone itself. (i know, i know...terrible, like I said, I'm new)
The phone froze and will not even restore from a factory reset. It is like it is trying to reset from the CyanogenMod ROM (which wasnt installed properly in the first place). I have tried restoring from a backup, but none exists. I tried mounting a flash drive with the stock hammerhead ROM on it, but it will not mount. I am using ClockwordMod Recovery v6.0.4.4.
Can anyone help me?

Ok lets try decrypting this first.
It sounds like you got through the rooting process,and got yourself a custom recovery. Ok
You flashed CM11, but it started to boot loop on you.You tried to revert back to stock, but you failed to make a backup. Now you are stuck since you cant mount the phone as a disk from recovery and restore a working rom.
Is this what is going on?
If so, you still have hope. You can use adb from the boot loader and push the stock firmware back on.
Follow this thread and start over from the beginning.

Yes, Un-root, go back to stock and try this again. Next time, make a backup before Flashing like mad.

I went into stock recovery yesterday, after purchasing the phone to wipe cache.
I like to do this with all my new phones first.
When I pressed on wipe cache, it brought me to a menu that asked Mr what package to install, and was showing me my SD card.
I then tried to data factory reset, which from my experience with other phones acted as though it was wiping cache??
It seems the recovery has 1 to many install from SD card options, and is throwing the menu off.
Can anyone else confirm this?
From what I can see only an update would fix this.

Can confirm that selecting "wipe cache partition" shows SD content. Don't want to try the factory reset though.
Reflashed stock recovery twice, it seems broken by design
This issue has to be reported to Motorola.
I just sent them a link to this thread via Twitter & FB.

recovery bugged
same here , the listing in recovery just isnt acurate to the job it performs ! - crazy slip up from Moto on this one i think .
My People! I have come for you!
Yes it is buggy, however totally operable!
"What? What did you say Ehsan? What knowledge do you have to bestow upon us, oh learned man of the great metropolis?"
Simple really. Whatever you want to select, just select the option above. Wipe cache is Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Data/Factory Reset is Apply update via ADB.
So while I sit here and bask in the rays of my awesomeness, you should go and spread the word.
Excuse my overtly conceited bragging. I only got there coz of you lot anyway :angel:
up one ..
So each option is just the line above ... seems okay. but what a mistake from MOTO'
time to test now
thanks

HELP
Yesterday i got 4.4.4 ota and downloaded it. but since i was on twrp, i tried moto tool to flash stock recovery.. but now when i open recovery it shows an android with warning sign.. whats wrong?? where can i get the stock recovery?
try flash your fone using fastboot and not a twrp recovery
I'm sorry if this sounds annoyingly silly, but if I do factory reset on my Nexus 5, will that delete all of my pictures, PDF document, videos, music, etc2?
I am aware that the app will be wiped clean like how the phone is first received, but I'm not sure if factory reset will also delete all of my stuffs I mentioned above as well.
The reason is, I tried flashing 4.4.4 to my android from android development page. Initially, I was a bit skeptical when "flash-all.bat" is not working because fastboot says there is no "system.img" in the zip file. So flashed the .img files one by one, and everything looks good.
However, when my phone tried booting up, it got stuck at booting animation for hours. I suspect this is because I have a lot of app in my phone and the fact that I'm going from 5.0 to 4.4.4. So I'm thinking of doing factory reset, but I just wanna make sure if I really need to copy all of my stuff first because doing this takes quite some time as well.

Yeah thanks for the answer over there.
I'm still curious about flashing 4.4.4 though.
IIRC, last year when I run the "flash-all.bat" script, it seems to work just fine, but now it doesn't. I wonder why?

If you get a bootloop after flashing the image boot into recovery and then do a factory reset
