Can someone please tell me, with ABSOLUTE certainty, whether the phone with an e-Sim installed, offers you the option to NOT erase the e-Sim when you perform a complete factory reset?
If someone has tried it, the question is very clear and there's only a Yes/No answer.
Thanks in advance!

You can factory reset it. Esim will not get deleted. I have tried it.
Thanks a lot. I will try it.

Hi guys, sorry in advance for my silly question, I have just installed a factory ROM on my LG E900 (optimus 7) and have the version 7.0.7004.0... after that I have unlocked the phone usind the phones registry editor (not chevron) and I think everything went well (no errors)... but after all that I made a factory reset on the phone, now my question is: do I need to unlock it again after factory reset or it remained unlock anyway? Thanks in advance for any assistance and for your pacience as well.
What do you mean by factory reset?
Also there is one easy way to test - try sideload an application.
I would imagine that a reset would set your phone back to the way it was when you got it / after flashing it.

Hi everybody.
I've got an issue. I'm in CM10.1 a8 by @dhiru1602 with the official gapps, and can't set my google accounts (two of them) to autosync. The mails and the contacts modifications are sync'ed only on manual requests.
There is some way to enable it?
I've attached some screenshots where the problem can be seen.
If there is any log i can see/attach to track this problem, please tell me.
Thank you!

Sorry @mustafahussain, but I think that a factory reset is my last resource. I've got too many apps that can't be restored with only Titanium backup. I've got too many settings, too many tweaks, etc. If I can, i'll try to avoid it. Thank you, anyway.
Another option?
Please, be careful with the solutions you provide @mustafahussain, that shouldn't resolve anything, only force me to lost some data. Don't take it wrong.
After some research i just found the solution:
Code:
i think i can help you.
go to system settings >> data usage >> menu button >> auto-sync data
now your sync wheels will get green (i hope)

@Drizzt_Kueh
You should have found that other solution before doing a factory reset.Dont ever point me to be careful,its you who should be careful enough to know what you are dealing with.Factory reset will erase your data is a known fact to everyone so dont pretend that you lost data just because of what you said,you knew this will erase your data and you yourself said that its your last option if its a full wipe then why did you do it,should have looked for a alternative before factory wipe.We are here to help not to hear some criticising comments.
I was trying to be nice, and give you just a friendly advice, but if that is the way you answer, then...

Start with using dots and paragraphs. Then, as you already told, I know that the Factoy Reset will wipe the info. A newbie won't. If you want to help, you should seek a solution, and not offer to kill a fly with a bazooka as you just did it. Or, if you really believe that a factory reset will be the only solution, you just can advise the user to do a backup before. Please, be careful.
Thank you anyway.

I guessed you were that smart enough that you will understand what I am speaking of if I didnt use dots anyways guess I was wrong. Now comming to the issue I told you that you can do a factory wipe(or dont know whatever you did that wiped your data) to restore your gapps default settings back ,if I would have a said go to service center you then it may refer killing a fly with a bazooka.And taking a backup is your doing part and even I didnt mention you could have asked or would/should have taken a backup(you keep saying you use titanium recovery and I see it how much you know of it).I wont loose any data from a wipe but you will so you should have thought of instead of playing this blame game.You should develop a sense(not everyone have it) but its essential to develop this sense which is called common sense when you are a smartphone user.Bottom line I dont need to be careful,in the end its your device that will be messed up if you dont pay attention to what you are doing with it.
NO OFFENCE
Again, I didn't wipe nothing. I didn't format nothing. I'm not mad because i've lost something. I didn't, and I'm not mad at all.
I'm not in a blaming game. I've just try to give you and advise about sending someone (anyone) to wipe anything without telling him to backup.
It's not about if i understood you or not. It's about being clear, and writing something easy to read.
Sending the user to the service center with a non-stock rom it's not a bazooka. It's a nuke. The user will pay in cash for the mistake.
And telling me that i should develope common sense, is just nonsense. If I didn't got that, surely i'd lost my data.
You don't wanna be careful? No problem. Then just add "Make a backup and then" before any line in you're telling someone to wipe any data in any way. Copy/Paste if you don't wan't to write it.
Thank you.

Avast has a long registration and maybe then it is possible to block.
maybe someone with another idea?

Hey guys, I'd like to wipe a phone thoroughly before its sold. The phone is using emui so there is no encrypt option in security settings. Pretty clueless here seems there's no encryption option so any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance guys

I've read that your files are still accessible even after a factory reset unless you encrypt them?

Hi, doing a factory rest is your best option. This will wipe all of your personal data off of the phone, it cannot then later be retrieved by a new owner of the phone.
Just perform a hard factory reset on your device. Then fill the device's internal memory with blank txt files and perform another hard factory reset on it again. This way you can be sure that nobody will be able to recover the data that was stored on your device.
Hello there,
Unfortunately I deleted an important video from my Verizon note 5. I been trying to recover the video for two days but no luck. I tried Samsung Data recovery, dr.fone, Recuva, and many different software. I came to the conclusion it's not possible without rooting my device which I would if I know how,but from what I read there was no successful way to root the Verizon version. Any idea, or a recommendation would be really appreciated.
Thank you!!

It's probably to late without having some sophisticated software recovery tools and taking the phone apart.. I guess if it was mine, I'd create a backup of everything I needed and then do a factory reset and when it asks to restore thing's after the reset tap yes and hope that it did back it up to your Google account and save it but I really think it's to late. Make sure you sign back in with the correct(same) Google account. Before doing any factory reset make sure OEM unlock is ENABLED in developer settings!!

Thanks for the replay, why is it too late? I used the phone for one day after the accidental delete and have been using another phone ever scene.

It's could be to late because the memory blocks that it was stored on could have been overwritten already by now and that makes it to late it's gone and something else is in it's place.. That's why I said maybe your Google account might have backed it up so you can email Google and see what they say about it..

Thanks a lot for your try to help. It was not backed to the cloud for sure because it was deleted right after it was recorded. Do you think there is still any chance to recover it by the factory rest method? Also, Is there any software I can purchase to help ?

Probably not.. You can ask around but a lot of the software or apps people sell don't do what they say they can do but I would search around and try to read reviews on some of the applications because other people will tell you whether they've had any luck or not but I would look around before the factory reset because if you do that you're definitely overwriting the memory blocks for sure!!
Still looking for some way to recover the file but no luck. Didn't use the phone ever since.
I wonder if you have set up to sync before. If yes, maybe you can check out in the trash of Google Drive. It is allowed to recover deleted data within 60 days. Or you can try FORecovery to recover your data, which I have used before. As I know, it's have nothing to do with device version while the software identifying and rooting your phone. Anyway, just take a try. Hope this is not too late for you.

Thanks for your reply. For Recovery could not recover the files as it couldn't root the device.

If the video is super important and you absolutely have to have it you should take it a recovery specialist and don't download or put anything else on the phone because it can overwrite the memory blocks.. Usually when you delete something the system just marks the memory blocks as reusable and able to be overwritten but if you don't do anything to cause it to be overwritten it's possible that it's still just sitting in the memory blocks and you just can't see it..
