Hi,
Currently I know three ways to make Nexus One a factory reset:
1. Through menu in the Android system, Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
2. In the HBoot (Press Volume down when power on), select 'Clear Storage'
3. In the recovery menu, select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset'
My questions is, what's the difference among all these ways? Or they are just the same?
I have googled and searched the forum but got no answer.
Thanks.
1. Clears /data/ = personal data/settings (keeps rom intact) http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=factory+reset+android&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
2. Sounds like it wipes the sdcard, never used it http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=hboot+Clear+Storage&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
3. Clears /data/ and /system/ = wipes every internal storage partition. http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=amon_ra+recovery&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
I have a hard time believing you searched...
Oh man, you know that search results != answers.
Anyway, thanks for your reply.
So it's safe to do 'Clear Storage' in HBoot, and 'Factory Reset' in system menu. But doing a wipe in the recovery will damage your system, unless you want to flash another ROM. Right?
Many people suggest do 'Clear Storage' in HBoot when problems happen, so I doubt it is the same as the first method.

No...It's also safe to do a factory reset from Recovery. That's the cleanest option according to the other guy's post. I always thought Factory Reset was the same through the settings menu and recovery, but I could be wrong.

The title may be missleading but.. I flashed new JVO and i notised that some apps from juwe's rom was still there. Then i notised that in cmw, theres a mounts and storage -> format /sdcard, /system, /ect.. What can i safely format, without bricking my phone? Is this the way to make phone into "normal state". I would like to make one clean install.
You can just go ahead and perform a factory reset (ensure any lagfix is OFF first).

Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread and didn't want to post in the development forums, but I was wondering how does one do a full wipe?
I really don't want to threadjack either, but just thought that seeing as how this was a recent thread maybe someone could shoot me a quick answer...
I found this:
2. Reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)
3. In CWM "Wipe data/factory reset"
4. In CWM "Wipe Cache Partition"
5. Go To "Advance"
6. Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
7. Go To "Mounts And Storage"
8. Select "Mount System"
9. Then Select "Wipe System"
from this thread, and was wondering if all these steps are what one means by a full wipe, or just some of them~ and, if just some of the steps, which ones?
TIA
Issue resolved ..
- Did a full wipe and installed sharp rom using SUTL
- Replaced recovery.img in download mode
- flashed AOKP ICS 8.0
-Flashed CK Kernel
On this setup for last 12 hours without any issues till now ..
Thanks again for this forum and all your help

If you do step 3, no need step 4 and 6. Dalvik cache is in data partition and doing step 3 will also followed by wiping cache partition automatically by CWM.
And I never do step 7, 8 and 9. When we flash a rom, system partition usually been wiped by the script, except some roms which intended for upgrade.

Hello,
actually I have CM10 on my SGS. But recently the SGS has a lot of crashes when I'm using it. I want to completely wipe the phone(not just Data Wipe...) and then install CM10 again. How can I do that?
Like factory format, including wipe all the settings, apps and also files from the sdcard? If so, then you can type this code *2767*3855# (it won't ask for confirmation).
I think factory wipe is the same as "data wipe" in CWM. That won't help because I do a data wipe before flashing a new rom.
Format everything in "mount and storage" in CWM
I think the same

Hi,
I've just sucessfully upgraded my phone from Gingerbread to JB (JellyMOD).
I did follow all instructions to factory reset before installing the ROM in recovery.
But when the phone loaded up, the system storage was deleted as expected, my SD card (16GB) was untouched as expected...but my USB storage (which keeps all the application data I had) was not touched and still there although all my apps were deleted as supposed to be.
Is this supposed to be correct? Can I leave it there or would it cause future problems?
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
And installed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170925
When wiping in TWRP I chose "Wipe Cache", "Wipe Dalvik Cache" & "Factory Reset".

Hello, I've been trying the hard reset function on the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 but it simply doesn't work fully.
After pressing VOLUME UP + HOME button along with the POWER button, and going to the recovery menu, I select the 'factory reset' option and it says it was 'succesful', even though it was fairly quick, around 5 seconds maximum. I also did the 'wipe cache' option and the 'format internal SD card' option, once again, it says 'successful' each time, but once I turn it on and finish the setup (language, network etc.) and then I head over to settings, it still has my Google account linked and it even remembers my wireless routers password? It also has a few apps left in there.
Keep in mind, I removed my sim card and SD card before rebooting after the factory reset, I still haven't stuck those back in so I can make sure I get a full factory reset.
How can I do a HARD reset, which removes EVERYTHING. So it's kind of like taking out of the box for the first time ever?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Have you tried wiping / formatting the SD and USB Storage in Settings
In recovery make sure you do the 4 wipe process (data/factory , partition , dalvik and battery)
Before installing any new Rom

Hello, and thanks for replying.
I'm not trying to install a new ROM, I'm just trying to wipe the whole phone because the phone has been freezing alot.
I have wiped out the internal SD as mentioned above, but for some reason, after I hard reset the phone and turn it back on, in the set up part, my WI-FI password is already there, and so is my Google account/password? Along with a few apps (and the memory card was removed the whole time).. that can't be right?
Sometimes a Hard Reset doesnt resolve the issue thats why we do the full wipe process in Recovery
Along with Unmounting USB and SD and formatting them both in Settings
In settings just Forget Network on your Wireless connection
In Accounts just remove account for your Google Account with menu
What Rom / firmware are you using
can u gives us ur cwn version n hav wipe dalvik?
btw, no juz wiping, fixing permission also can help a lot.
if u say some app still there after formatting, try to disable sync or remove account using gsetting first. then try to factory reset again with wipe cache partition n dalvik cache, manually wipe datadata and data on mount & storage n try to reboot again, and may i ask u what firmware or custom rom r u using?
and sometimes, taking battery out n press power button for 1 minute n release it n put back battery n reboot help resolve many problem occur on i9000
