1. Did you try checking the settings of the screen orientation?
2. Any other information how this might have happened? This is the first time I've heard about this.
Try to wipe your factory settings and cache, unroot and re-root again.

[Q] Nexus one After upgraded to Froyo rebooting..

Hi,
My friend upgraded his Nexus one to Froyo OTA.After that his device started rebooting when make calls or access any options in menu.
Here are the details of his device as follows.
Version 2.2.1.
Build : FRG83D
BaseBand: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
He gave me to solve it,but i am pretty much new to android OS can someone help me how to proceed.How to solve it..?
Regards,
NouB.
Maybe he can give it to someone else?
If your friend doesn't care about losing his data, settings, etc, then just do a factory reset.
If he doesn't want to lose data, then you'll have to root to backup, then start clearing data, cache, etc...

He already tried factory reset.This device doesn't have any data,in-fact i also tried several times factory resets but it is in the same state.It is still rebooting.

Try the wiki for the unroot/restore guide, following the passimg method. Not sure it will work on FRG83D, though...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
If it doesn't work, root with SuperOneClick (search the N1 dev section), and install a custom recovery. You can then install anything you want.
Read the wiki - most of what you need is there...

EDIT: Nevermind, I rebooted and it started working. I guess that teaches me to always try the simple things first.

[Q] Factory Reset with Rooted Phone?

I know this might be a stupid question and if it is I apologize.
If you root the phone can you do a factory reset on it?
I ran into some threads that look like you cant until there is an unroot available.
I just wanted to get a conformation on this so I don't do something stupid.
Thank you
Yes, you can Factory Reset.
You can't Factory Reset if you've frozen/removed/renamed /system/app/ apps (bloatware, etc..).
Factory reset will wipe /data so any downloaded apps will be removed, user configuration settings/passwords/etc.. will be removed...
SU will remain (as it's in /system/bin or /system/xbin) but SuperUser is gone....so you'll want to reinstall that since it's the "control system" for what has SU access.
What happens is people delete/rename/freeze things that are required to "setup" the phone and a Factory Reset wipes those settings....and then can't run the app necessary to configure those settings.
It's not root that causes the problem...it's the users.
Factory Reset is fine, unless you make /system file changes.
Thanks for that information. I just unrooted my phone for 2 important reasons:
1. because I'm a noob
2. because I'm a noob
I do not want to have to keep up with what I have frozen/renamed and do not want to brick my phone. I will keep reading on this wonderful forum until i feel confident enough to make intelligent decisions about what I doing
In the mean time I'm gonna (KISS)

quick question, might be dumb but im new to this whole rooting stuff and I don't wanna mess something up.
I rooted my D3 and uninstalled slacker radio, blockbuster, and citrix receiver.
I didn't mess with anything else but I wanna do a factory reset and start all over.
should I just reintall these apps from the market or can I just do a factory reset without them?

Factory reset is okay. It will be clean and only keep stock apps.

Does a factory reset of a rooted but otherwise stock 6.890 droid3 remove clockworkmod ? I want to back out to where I can install SafeStrap2 instead. Then kexec Hash's ICS and maybe JB, someday.
I have so far refused the 7.905 OTA.
Nothing is frozen or deleted.

Installing safestrap over the top of bootstrap (clockworkmod) should remove all traces of bootstrap (clockworkmod)
To answer your question though, no. A factory reset deletes the /data partition, with app data, etc.

I'm pretty sure you need to uninstall the bootstrap app, and safestrap will remove the actual recovery

So far I have uninstalled the boostrap app and then flashed 7.905 OTA.
Lost root, so I have to re-root before anything else, right ?

Factory Reset For Update
I would like to unroot my Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T) because I would like to be able to update my phone (I am still running Android 4.0.4). I have tried to update my phone multiple times, but it always says:
"- - Installing: /sdcard/update.zip"
"Finding update package..."
"E: Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip"
"Installation aborted"
I have tried deleting SU, but it still hasn't worked. I was wondering if I could factory reset my phone in order to, I guess, unroot, which would allow me to update my phone. If you are wondering if I have a backup, I have my phone backed up to Samsung Kies on my laptop (Will that also keep all of my saved games/apps/contacts/ect.?).

I'm having trouble after root too. I started a thread about it. My GPS refuses to fix my location. It will get my initial location, then shut right off. Does your GPS work in maps? If you download an app like GPS Status and Tools or similar, will it pick up your location?
First question, did anyone install xposed or any other mods?

I would follow steps 1-4, Odin back to stock, from this guide to make sure that it may not be a permanent problem first.

Thanks for this. I can't speak for OP, but I flashed back to stock firmware using Odin earlier today and my problem still persists. I have verified that I'm now unrooted and running stock firmware.
