I'm selling my galaxy and it says it has unofficial cynoganmod on it.
I basically need to re flash it so my Gmail is logged out and fresh for the new person

You need to go to recovery and do a factory reset, reflashing the rom will only work if you also wipe data and caches as, well, which is done with a factory reset too

Trying to install 2.3.6 on my Telus I9020A and having problems. As soon as the phone loads, the phone process FCs and restarts in an infinite loop. Going back to 2.3.4 fixes the problem but is not a solution.
Has anyone encountered this/got it working ? i'm having a lot of difficulty with this.
Did you clear cache/dalvik cache/factory reset (data wipe) before flashing?

OK erasing data too worked. thanks!
You need to do that every time you flash a new rom. That's also why it's really nice to have root so you can make backups of everything

If I factory reset will it reset the kernel and radio to stock? I also have a few mods, will factory reset delete these? Should I just erase all data in CWM instead?
It will reset to the your current setup unless you actually flash the factory ROM.

To make it simple no it won't. Factory reset will wipe your dalvik/cache/data. To return it to stock your going to have to flash a stock image. Which can be found here and will give you stock radio, kernel, recovery and will get rid of the mods you installed. Dont forget to wipe your sdcard AFTER you've done all that and your set. You can also relock your bootloader if you unlocked it.

I want start by saying that I did not take the 4.3 OTA from Verizon. I flashed my phone from 4.2.1 to 4.4.1 cm11 and various KitKat Roms. My last being mastamoons version. I wanted to flash back to a 4.3 TW ROM for stability. KitKat has been wonderful the days it decided to be 100% stable. But the myriad of issues plaguing my daily apps, freezing or phone rebooting warranted a flash to TW 4.3. I made a forum post because I was not entirely sure how to flash from 4.4 AOSP back to 4.3 TW and the advice given to me on CleanROM 8.1 thread was to format data, cache, dalvik and flash the zip. I did so and everything was fine. No bootloop (yet, kinda. Will get to that). So my phone rebooted and the first try got me to the start screen. Here is where things go wrong. It asks me for my PIN or Password as if it is encrypted. I've never encrypted my phone so I was perplexed. I thought maybe I triggered KNOX? But CleanRom 8.1 is touchwiz. But it doesn't not include KNOX from what I've read. I've wiped system and tried multiple methods of formatting the phone and I always get back to the same problem .

The bootloop I solved after
I formatted /system. I even restored my previous cm10.2.1 backup which was on 4.3 and I did a manual factory reset from settings. Then I formatted data, cache, dalvik and still nothing.

Try doing a complete wipe. What recovery are you using?
I have wiped system, data and cache. Isn't that a full wipe? I'm running the latest clockwork mod recovery. Thank you for your response.

You need to wipe your internal sdcard. Backup any important files to your external SD or a computer. Then wipe everything. System. Data. Internal SD card. Caches. Format system. Then flash the modem in the op if you haven't already. Should be in the op of the ROM you want to flash. Then flash the ROM. Might take up to 10-15 minutes for initial boot so be patient. You should be all good from there.

Not sure if you will lose root. Since you are already rooted the best way to go is use a custom recovery and factory wipe in recovery.
Once you have a custom recovery installed, why would you even want to use the Factory Reset function in the stock rom? You can do everything you need to do with much more flexbility in TWRP.
No idea what happens on the M8 if you do this, but I can tell you that on the Transformer tablets a factory reset from settings wiith CWM or TWRP installed left you in a nasty forced reboot to recovery loop.
Don't do it!
Oh - and no, any kind of wipe of data/cache/dalvik will not affect root. If you wipe /system it will, but then you wouldn't have a rom installed anyway!
Just do the factory wipe in TWRP. That'll wipe everything but /system and /data/media/ where your personal files (pics, videos, docs) live. If you want to get rid of those too format data in TWRP.
Edit: Sorry, didn't read your post correctly. Did you only root with Weaksauce? No S-off, no permanent root, no custom recovery?
In that case it depends where Weaksauce is installed to. I can't remember - Weaksauce didn't survive for long after using firewater, but my guess is, it would be installed to /data. And yes - a factory reset would wipe the app and you would have to install it again.
Is what my nexus 5 says after doing a factory reset i am not sure what to do anymore and cant find any place for help i press ok but the pop up keeps coming. Is it a good idea to reflash amdroid?
Try clearing cache in recovery. If that doesn't work then your probably going to have to flash the factory images with fastboot
