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

what is the difference between factory reset and hard reset??
will my phone lag go away if i do a factory reset?
what all will remain in the phone, like which apps(pre installed or all?)
i'm using a motorola defy (running 2.2)
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.
Before I do factory reset, I removed the root under SuperSU settings.
But unfortunately, when I try to do factory reset, my phone rebooted twice and starts normally.
THE ROOT GET BACK AGAIN AND FACTORY RESET DOES NOT DONE!
It seems recovery mode has some problem, don't know what problem is it.
Is any way to fix it? MY PHONE IS ZENFONE 5 (T00J)

Sounds like your device comes prerooted and if that's the case you can't remove it with a factory reset. This is common among Chinese devices.

My device is not prerooted. Before I rooting it, my device still can do factory reset. But after I rooted I can't do it anymore.
It seems like the recovery mode is dead or whatever, do you know how to fix it?
Dont worry all you need to do is to flash the frimware for your device using CWM/TWRP.
You can find your frimware from this site.

[the final word in the title should be the word "removed"].
My phone is a Rook G from EE (UK), which I understand to be just a carrier-branded ZTE Blade 3 A410. I need to wipe the phone and do a Factory Reset . But the phone has Factory Reset Protection, so I must remove this in order to proceed. I do this by removing all google accounts from the device. As a result, I can perform the factory reset from within the "Backup & Reset" section of "Settings".
However, if I boot into recovery (By holding Vol+ and Power simultaneously), then when I choose "Wipe data/Factory reset", the following line appears at the bottom of the screen:
"Frp have not wipe, factory reset failed".
And it doesn't seem that the device is factory reset. So my first question is: WHAT do I do to enable the Wipe data/factory reset feature from recovery?
[If you are wondering why I need to Factory Reset from Recovery, the answer is that I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. Now we know that the last step in unloking the boottloader is that the device is wiped back to Factory Reset state. I presume that this is accomplished by code which runs in the regular recovery partition.
What worries me substantially, therefore, is that if there is some problem which prevents Recovery from wiping the device clean, then it will not be possible to unlock the bootloader. I'm sorry to say that indeed I am not able right now to unlock the bootloader -- at the crucial moment when I would use the Volume key to confirm that I want to unlock, there seems to bea problem with what is happening: the phone screen stops responding, and in the end the procedure for unlocking the bootloader fails.
If anyone can confirm to me that it must be possible to do a factory reset of your device from within Recovery for there to ever be a procdure to unlock the bottloader.
And last but not at all least -- if someone can help me to end the appearance of that crazily ungrammatical error ("Frp not have wipe, factory reset failed"), I'd be very grateful. Because I'm hopeful that this is the key to unlocking my bootloader.

Developer options>Allow OEM unlocking
thanks, but of course I have both Allow OEM unlocking checked and also USB debugging checked. Perhaps it's a clue that the "OM unlocking" toggle seems to be not perfectly sticky. It sometimes/often happens that I check the value and it's gone abck to "off". At this point, i check that value before I do anything that might unlock the bootloader.
But thanks for the suggestion.
BTW -- please note that THIS question here is about how to get Factory Reset to work from Recovery on a phone which has no google account set up. To do THAT surely doesn't require the OEM Unlocking toggle to be set.
I bought my phone about 3 months ago (Gionee p5w) and i had no custom roms installed. Yesterday i saw that there is a system update available. I think i rooted my phone using king root(not sure of version). Update on my phone wouldnt install... so i factory reset without clearing the phone memory thats when problem arised, nothing was reset except the text size setting. So i thought of going into factory mode to reset my phone and started phone with vol up and power key pressed . Factory mode didnt show up and now i am stuck in a bootloop. It shows bootloader logo and restarts again and again. I cant even go to normal mode and start my phone. I remember booting into factory mode when i bought it. Please help me fix it

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
first of, we don't provide technical support here our job is to direct you through the boards here on xda-developers.
When you root your phone system updates will cause serious problems if you don't unroot before and revert all changes on system partition. So bootloop was expected to happen.
Only cure for that would be to reflash your phone's firmware, to find A) the appropriate firmware for your phone model and B) lern how to flash on your phone I would suggest you to visit this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
and
Do a basic Google search on "your phone model + firmware" and "how to flash stock rom on your phone model"
Good luck
Hi all!
I have a friend who has an A8 2018. It was sold to him by some guy. And unfortunately he did not check everything. When he got home and about factory reset, he noticed that the factory reset is grayed out.
He tried to enter recovery but it just booted to start the device.
Hope someone can help.

you can either factory reset via stock recovery or flash the stock firmware via Odin then factory reset in stock recovery if the first option doesnt work
