Clear the apps cache
By hard reset do you mean factory reset from recovery?
Try flashing the firmware with ODIN and use CSC instead of HOME_CSC (This will also reset the device)

A factory reset makes your device just like it was when you first took it out of the box brand new. It is done from with in the Android OS it self via Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset. Any apps you have installed, your contacts, bookmarks, any personal settings you have will be removed. If you go into Settings/Privacy and check backup settings your settings will be backed up to google. It is also a has a Automatic restore option there that will automatically restore your settings for you if you have backup settings checked.
A hard reset does the same thing a factory data reset does, but you have to use the external buttons to do it. Each device has it's on combination of buttons to preform a hard reset. Some devices have it as a option in the Hboot/Recovery screen. Some say a hard reset does a little bit more thorough or deeper cleaning, but I have found no one that can answer this for 100% positive.
you can also preform a factory reset using Clockwork Mod Recovery by choosing the factory data reset option in the main menu of Clockwork Mod Recovery.
As for it solving your issue with lagging. I can not say proof positive it will as I do not have a device like yours and do not exactly what is causing the device to lag. But a factory reset has been know to help solve a lot of issues, one is laggyness. I suggest you do it as it is no risk involved in doing it. Plus with Android it is easy to restore your device to the way you had it. The market keeps track of the apps you had and you just open the market, press yhe menu button and then my apps. this will let you get your apps back.
Hey,
Rooted my Galaxy Tab plus, then backed it up with TB, then tried to transfer the backup to the external sd... which didn't work. I then very precisely (I thought) followed the instructions for creating permissions to write to the external sd, and as per those instructions, rebooted.
And so my Tab has. Rebooted, and rebooted, and rebooted, and rebooted.
I've got it in recovery mode at the moment... but does anyone know how to get this thing out of circular reboot mode? I'm leery of doing a factory reset from recovery until I know if that will have the desired effect--mainly, getting me back into my Tab. I have the stock firmware and ODIN, if that's what's needed. I just need some advice on which is the best to try.
Or, if there's an altogether different solution, then please share...
This may not be useful to solve your problem. However, FYI,...
I was able to applied the permission mod previously, and afterwards, I did a factory reset. It did not remove the permission mod that I applied. That is, after the reset, it was still able to write the the external SD even though all my data and apps were gone.
So chances are the factory reset is not going to solve your problem.
factory reset doesn't mess with the system partition - it basically just wipes the /data partition. So it won't fix your problem.
If you have ODIN, just find a replacement image and re-image the device.

I initially downloaded the stock firmare for the US version, after discovering for myself that doing a factory reset from it's semi-bricked state did no good. The original firmare download was somehow incomplete; it reached an "unexpected end" while extracting and so would not work in ODIN. Then my Tab wouldn't connect to the computer I was using at all.
Fortunately, I was able to re-download the firmware and use ODIN on another computer, so I was able to get back to stock. Even after that, however, I had to do a factory reset; for some reason, my Tab downloaded the first update from Samsung, but would not make the leap to LA3. Once I did the factory reset, though, all was well.
Then, of course, I immediately re-rooted and manually made the changes that let me write to the external sd--correctly, this time. No trouble at all on reboot.
Thank God.
Hello everyone,im having a huge issue with my device of late. It randomly just freezes up now and then and i have to do a hard reset to switch it off then. Since this has been happening i decided to do a factory reset on my device and start fresh.
Problem with that is that my phone wont let me do a factory reset by going into the settings menu and then selecting backup & reset and then going into the factory reset menu. Once there and i try to tap the reset tab, it does nothing at all. Is there another way that i can reset my device?
If anyone has any suggestions for me,id really appreciate hearing from you. My device is the E6653 and it is not rooted or bootloader unlocked if thats essential.
since factory reset is next to re flashing your device
consider reflashing using FLASHTOOL. ( even when you device has locked bootloader you can still flash untouched rom)
some time back a user having z5p ( device name Satsuki) was asking how to flash so i gave him good short tutorial at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71394777&postcount=3
the same applies for you too! but select SUMIRE in the list and see your country , select correct build version / download and flash
I have a galaxy s7 flat unlocked, that I bought some days ago, it keeps restarting by itself when I use it about more than 10 minutes, begins by overheating and after the smartphone suddenly restarts, I have made a factory reset, I cleaned cache partition, I rooted it and cleaned some system apps that I don´t use and nothing changed.
It restarts when I use camera app or when I use the smartphone randomly, if you have something in mind, It could help me .
It is overheating almost all the time and battery drains very fast.

Have you tried flashing stock firmware via odin? If the firmwares buggered a factory reset via settings or recovery won't fix it.

hi! no, I'm not very experienced on this, I don't know which is the one that I should flash, I am using this smartphone on México, but I found that every firmware has a carrier ( I think I should get the "XAA" but I'm not sure)
GALAXY S7 FLAT SM-G930U
G930UUEU4BQH3
Can I flash this https://www.gizrom.com/android-7-0-galaxy-s7-sm-g930u-firmware/ ?
I would personally go for a central source of firmware instead of a blog site
http://updato.com is great resource, includes a start to finish guide, and has every firmware for every country. If you look under mexico there might be a non-carrier firmware.

How do you know it is overheating? Phone gets hot?
Factory reset it from Settings > General Management > Reset > "Factory Data Reset"
Or remove your Google account (Very important) from Settings > Cloud and Accounts > Accounts > Google > 3 dots top right menu > Remove Account and factory reset from Recovery
If you still want to flash new firmware, Download G930U firmware and whatever CSC you are running now (Check in Samsung Phone INFO app)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
Download firmware from here

New 10 XEU N970F bricked when trying to update. Gets passed the logo to 4 swirling dots and just stays there - tried soft reset, plugging it into PC on Smart Switch, wipe cache and hard reset. same every time.
Samsung are like "you might have bought it New and still security sealed but it's still out of warranty it'll cost you for us to flash it ..."
Read up and got hold of Odin and the latest firmware - same swirly dots.
Tried Factory reset again and yay it started except it's "configured by SAMSUNG Electronics UK enrolled in Knox. So tries to load retail mode and is locked down - no factory reset option (even in Boot Loader) loads of Google apps don't work, Google Play Store not available hell I can't even change the wallpaper or set Biometrics to log on. It is on 12 though...
Suggestions?
Try wiping the NAND and repartition maybe and then try Odin again? Give up and see if I can get a refund?
I'm an Android dabbler, I've rooted and added custom ROMS to older non Samsung devices in the past but only following guides or using scripted tools.
Any help gratefully appreciated

Set Odin to repartition and clear NAND and do all but the userdata and it rebooted to a fresh install enrolled to Knox ..... Arse!
So it turns out using Knox to enrol devices to your organisation is pretty solid - It's linked to the IMEI as far as I can gather and has a hardware flag (I'm assuming from it's behaviour - so I'm stuffed. Tried the support at Samsung again and with some effort and a couple of links to Knox documentation finally got her to understand what I was saying. Couldn't help of course but gave me another dept to try when they open on Monday...
Sent it back for a replacement - with little fuss from the reseller. Replacement won't update...
