HOW DO I PULL UP THE RECOVERY MENU ON A STOCK RECOVERY?
i need to wipe data bc my friend wiped my phone, didnt sign into Gmail and then set a password that he forgot.
You need to get to the bootloader, not recovery.

I wanted to restored my Nexus One to Factory.
Sick of getting 2.2.1 pushed on my N1 and have it fail.
I recovery mode it says restore to factory but even this did not work it did not completely restore everything.
The Clockwork recovery partition stayed.
So when Google want to push 2.2.1 ...... it fails still.
You can not completely wipe your phone ???
Please did not tell me i need to adp or whatever it is called push anything because I really do not want to go through that.
You mean you want to revert back to stock rom and recovery? Search in the development section, there is a thread with the file you need.
I am going to be selling my Hero to someone who would like it rooted (as it is now).
His plan is to use it in WiFi mode only and won't be activating it with Sprint.
Is there a way to clear all my private data (logins, bookmarks, contacts, calendars, etc.) without unrooting?
Will he then be able to enter his google account info and gain access to the Market though WiFi?
Thanks!

The "Factory Reset" feature does the trick. But if you are really paranoid, you could wipe data, cache, dalvik and resintall the ROM from recovery.
Won't factory reset unroot me?
Will he still be able to access the net and the market via WiFi?
What ROM are you running?

Factory reset should bring the phone back to the state it was in when you first installed the rom. If you really want to be safe, boot into recovery, wipe everything and reflash the rom. You will still be rooted. Remember to either remove and keep your sd card or to format it to erase the data on it, THEN create a nandroid for whoever is buying the phone. Yes, they will be able to run the google setup via wifi if they choose to do so.
Weird.
After I do a factory reset (either from settings or from recovery), it stays in a boot loop. I have to pull the battery and restore the Nand.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Tried many different factory resets last night.
Tried from recovery mode and from settings>privacy.
In each case, I got stuck in boot loops.
Also tried to wipe data, cache, dalvik and resintall the ROM from recovery. Same thing - boot loop.
All I could do was pull the battery and do a nand restore.
Any ideas?
go here and download the ruu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586 . follow the instructions. this WILL take away root and will flash you black to stock. then, go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-743289.html and follow those instructions to re-root your phone. it is very easy. then flash your rom of choice again. that will erase your data AND get rid of your bootloop. idk why the othere way isnt working for u though
OR, you should try to take out your sdcard or format it before you reflash the nfinite's stock. i had this problem once because some of my data was on the card and so when it tried to boot it got stuck.
Thanks guys. I tried the factory reset a couple more times, and for some reason it booted.
Thanks again!
Hi,
I am using SGS I9000 for past 1.5yrs.
I am on stock ROM, i tried to flash once but phone always starts into bootloop. Need to sent it to Service Center by lieing that it wont boot up.
I also heard losing IMEI is common while flashing any ROM.
Now I am very scared to flash any custom rom, i have just only rooted my phone.
But my phone is giving a lot of problem, hanging a lot, Force Closes etc..!!
I can pay few amount if my phone is successfully flashed with CM10 ROM.
My location is New Delhi/NCR - India.
Please let me know if anybody is interested here to help me out.
Thanks

Please check if you're cf-rooted.
If you are, go this website : http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd and download the latest cm9 nightly .zip file.
Off your phone, Go into recovery mode, Wipe cache , factory reset and select the cm9 file from your sd card and install it.
YOU ARE DONE

First of all,u can't be sure not to semi-brick yr phone again and yes u can flash any ICS roms..
But always read the OP(first post's) and last 3 pages in the thread of the ROM u want to flash,first to ensure how to flash without problems and last to read if any bugs is current in the ROM u are about to flash..
ALWAYS have nandroid backup(cwm) and backup your EFS folder(imei)using eg.EFS-pro or nitrality app(save this to your pc or dropbox) from market.
PS..always flash with a full battery
My phone is up now.
i understand i need to install CWM recovery, but last time i got bricked, can you please tell me what to do if i want say this rom:

Read the first post in the thread. It's all there for you. If your phone is rooted and you have CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery) installed, then do this (which is from the first post in that thread):
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
WIPE again or Calendar Sync will not work.
Phone is a rooted SGH-T679
I removed a bunch of programs after which I couldn't get back to home screen, only contacts.
Rebooted phone but couldn't get past Samsung splash
Got into Safe Mode, but the Factory Settings option is gone.
I'm thinking that if I can determine why that option is no longer available, it might help me figure out what to do next.
If I have to flash ROM, fine, but I wanted to investigate this question first.
