Just have a couple of Questions about doing a factory reset.
I flashed european jpo using kies and have not done a factory reset because all of my region settings and carrier settings and market access remained intact from eclair (amazing I know what were the chances).
So having now backed everything up using titanium backup I am keen to do a factory reset because I have some forced closes in the browser and it took a loooong time to settle down after I upgraded.
Will I keep all my settings with a factory reset? Apn's etc?
What settings are recommended for both factory reset and restore, so far I get to NOT restore system apps.
Also what exactly is a 'hard reset'?
Finally should I even bother my phone runs well, just my battery life is a bit crap and browser crashes a bit

No you lose all settings. APNs, and non standard apps / apks in system apps as well I think

In my opinion, now that you have backed up your stuff, I would reflash JPO and tick re-partition. This will wipe everything back to factory and start you off on a clean slate. That way you will know whether your FCs are due to a bug in the firmware, rom or APK.
Thank you for your help, phone is pretty damn stable now I deleted a couple of apps I suspected and fc's have stopped

i cant use wireless network for location any more when i updated to froyo.
for example, i get "waiting for location" "your current location is temporarily unavailable" .
any ideas?
Did you update the radio when you flashed froyo?
I've had this issue on previous roms but not yet on froyo.
When this happens to me and a gps on/off doesnt fix it; I reboot the phone.
I've had that issue, but a wipe fixed it. It was about time for a wipe anyway...

i wiped cache/ dalvik cache, no luck.
wipe data? means i have to reinstall all the apps reset all the setup?
i tried something.
wipe data, no luck
reflash the froyo, no luck
wipe data and reflash Froyo, it works!
restore to previous CM505, it works!
restore to CM505, and flash Froyo, no luck........
what should i do if i want to keep my data and Froyo ?
I'm having the same problem. Came from CM5.0.6, no wipe, just flashed froyo and pretty much everything works (sweet!) except network location provider. GPS is fine. Network location just always times out.
Just like dirwdirw I'd like to keep my app data and settings; anyone figured out anything we can reset to make this work w/o wiping?
Use Titanium Backup. I made a thread in the apps forum asking for what could be moved and not have those issues. I didn't get answers but I did find it for myself and posted there.
My location doesn't work with launcher pro, only with the stock launcher.
Same here... Froyo on N1, and havent found any clue yet.
If someone has it, please share!
same here!
im starting to get really worried, i just read that FRF50's radio its official, and my cel sucks with it...
Just updated to FRF83 using Modaco's <android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/311896/24-jun-frf83-stock-rooted-deodex-superboot-repacks> update+root+insecure, still the same!
I really don't get why it's not working!
Yep, same problem here with Froyo. Had it with FRF50 and now with FRF83. I'm unable to have a location without GPS.
I did a complete wipe then flash, but nothing changed.

That solved it for me though. You're talking about a full wipe right? Cause indeed, dalvik wipe doesn't solve this issue.
Yes, a full wipe, a factory reset.
Will do it again... I may be lucky this time.

From the settings menu, or from recovery? From the menu it never worked for me.
I think I'll wait for CM6, wipe, and install it. It's too annoying to manually set the position of the weather widget.

From Recovery.
But I've just finished wiping and flashing again... and it works !
It didn't work when flashing FRF50. But when flashing FRF83 after a wipe, it's ok.
Thank's !
So all I want to do is a factory data reset, will this clear my root and should I remove my lag fix first
Its called a factory reset. Did it come rooted from the factory?

What about the lag fix should i remove that
Wouldn't hurt to do so, just to make sure no problems do happen.
Instead of not disabling it and then having a problem...
If I accidentally uninstalled twlauncher will a reset reinstall the twlauncher
Dont think it will. Sound like you need to flash to stock (saw your post in the other thread). There are dozens of threads about doing that.
All you need is a little research.
Your system apps stay the same, so if you are on a custom Rom that is pre-rooted it will stay rooted. I have done many factory resets. It clears all your data and installed apps. If you uninstall a system app it will not reappear with a factory reset. You will need to find the apk and put it back in your system.
more of a factory wipe than a reset
i have learned so much on this site but there is one noob question i have to ask that i still dont fully understand... im wondering when rom developer recommends a "wipe" before flashing what are they refering too? I mean i understand wiping cache ive done that numerous times but i thought wiping data gets rid of everything on your phone? Is wiping data/factory reset the same thing? why would you want to delete everything on your phone in order to flash 1 rom.. maybe im missing something. I appreciate your replys!

Wiping data is the same as a data/factory reset. Usually when switching between roms, application data is not compatable and will cause force closes. You can usually skip wiping data if flashing the same type of rom, eg, between blur roms, aosp gingerbread, aosp froyo. Sometimes you'll still get force closes and will need to wipe data anyways. If you use an app like mybackup root, you can backup all your apps prior to flashing a new rom, and restore just the app. This will prevent force closes, but you'll love any app data. But at least your apps aren't lost/forgotten.

Ok, I know this is a noob question, but never run into this before.
About to change ROMs on my touchpad But I have to do a factory reset in TWRP before I can flash the new ROM. Will this factory reset affect my WebOS apps? I have a lot of apps that are no longer available from the webos market and I dont want to lose them. Will doing the factory reset in TWRP delete them?
It will remove all your android data and apps only!

I used Nut's method of updating to .136 and discovered the stock dialer does not use T9 for contact search anymore. For example if I wish to call Jason, I would type 52766 and a list of my contacts with the name Jason would be shortlisted. This does not happen anymore. Is there a way to fix this other than using a 3rd party dialer?
Did you try a factory reset after update, sometime this clean the phone after update.

Factory reset AFTER update? Oh, I didn't do that. What I did was before flashing .136, I cleaned out all the cache and internal storage then did a factory reset.
Ok how do I do a factory reset in TWRP? I can't find that option.

It's working! Just have to go through hours of customising the preferences of my apps again. I'll have to keep testing the phone function after each app install to pinpoint the one that breaks it.
