Hi All,
I recently updated from MM to Nougat.
I read on the Forum that a Factory Reset is recommended after any upgrade.
I do not have HiSuite and want to back up my Contacts,sms etc before doing a Factory Reset.
How may I do this? what should I be careful to backup before Reset? Do I select Reset from Settings Menu or from 'hard reset' (some of what I've read in Forum). If I do Factory Reset, will it still be on Nougat? (noob Question)
Thanks in Advance for the replies.

I am using HTC wildfire s gsm android 2.3.5 (rooted)
my question is that can i factory reset or hard reset my mobile as usual ?
or since i rooted my mobile should i need to follow any specific steps??
Hard reset should work just fine!
You can also do it through Android itself.
Factory reset works exactly the same.
Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset
You should have no problems, and there should be no extra steps for custom ROMs.

We just did the official ICS OTA update and now whenever he unlocks the phone it always takes him to the security settings menu regardless of where he is at. I've power-cycled his phone and cleared dalvik cache.
Any ideas for resolving his problem outside of a factory reset?
Hmm. That's a strange problem. I guess a bug has crept in because of the way some app is working.
You could root, back-up everything with Titanium and do a factory reset. That way, you're not worse off for having done the factory reset. You could then restore the apps one by one, to isolate the cause.
If you don't want to do a factory reset, you could uninstall apps one by one with similar effect. But you'll loose the app data.
So I'm running out of space and most of it is just junk I don't use anymore so I want to do a complete reset. I tried a factory reset but that didn't delete anything it just cleared it from that rom. So I tried deleting all the roms I had made backups of (except for the one I was on) and then I did a factory reset but same result as before... Does anyone know how I can completely get rid of everything?
I have applied the full no-wipe 4.4.2 factory stock image to my phone, and then used towel root to root it. I see that I need to do a factory reset at this point. There are two ways to do that, and I want to avoid losing root or bootloops, etc. So my question is should I do this in the stock recovery mode, or from the settings menu, from the factory reset there, to cause least damage?
Thanks.
Edit: Never mind, I did it with the "factory reset" in settings, and root is fine. SuperSU was able to disable KNOX, so still rooted, but back to square zero with apps. Lots to do, see you later *smile*.
Hi friends,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with data recovery, specifically photos, after a factory reset?
Thanks heaps!
