[URGENT] I have Overcome Hermes installed, I need to reset the device - HOW?

Hey Guys I'm going to sell my Galaxy Tab,
The buyer has requested it have Hermes installed on it, so I just wanna know how do I reset the device to Hermes, while deleting all my personal data.
I tried factory reset on the privacy menu option, it didn't work.
Cheers

Boot in CWM (recovery) and wipe data/factory reset.

Un-root Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G, Wipe and Factory Reset

Hi
I rooted my Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G using Odin and now want to factory reset it, securely delete all data and pass it on to someone else - what is the easiest and safest way to do this?
It is a GT-P7300 running P7300XXLQ6, build number IMM76D.XXLQ6.
Thanks in advance!

Do it thru the stock recovery. You can do a factory reset there. I'd wipe/format the internal sd card. It's been awhile since I've used the stock recovery so I'm not sure if you can do it there.

It was also suggested to me that I might try: "Find and delete su and BusyBox. Do a factory reset (Settings/Privacy)."
Is that a viable shortcut to digging out a PC and hooking up Odin?

[Q] Factory reset good enough for used ebay phone?

Hi there I have just got a i9305 from someone on ebay and I am thinking should I do more than a factory reset. I.e. root it etc... or do you guys think it is 'safe' to just factory reset it? As in could someone stick some dodgy software on it that does not get wiped by factory reset? Thanks! :good:

Just factory reset it's ok if he has original soft.

Yer its the stock I think. Just noticed his google account is still on it . Not sure if hes stupid or trying to steal some info if I were to not factory reset hmmm.

You can delete his account without factory reset.

Oh man but its been a year since I did all that type of thing - was hoping a factory reset was enough :S.

Just done a checkmend and its totally clean and still in warranty - all checks out. I am tempted to just go with the factory reset and sd card wipe -surely nothing will be left?

Point to note Samsung may not extend their limited warranty to a second user .

[Q] Factory Reset on Rooted M7

Hi friends,
I wanted to be very sure before I tried anything stupid and end up bricking my phone.. I hope you will find time to answer some of these questions..:fingers-crossed:
Is it safe to factory reset a rooted HTC One M7?
If it was safe, do I need to do anything special like factory reset it from TWRP (what?) or just hit the Back Up and Reset option in the Settings of the phone?
Will I lose my root access?
Appreciate your time! :victory:
Much respect,
flopped

Factory reset from backup reset will fail because you don't have stock recovery
Factory reset in TWRP deletes the /data partition
make a backup first just in case.
If you want a true wipe factory reset you need a RUU (ROM Update Utility)

[Q] I I think I softbricked my phone.

Hello, I have Galaxy S3 Mini I8190. I have rooted my phone today to Pack-Man 4.4.2. There was no problem while I am using my rooted phone. After all that I decided to unroot my phone and I tried to do that with Odin. I did select Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and I did install official I8190 4.1.2 firmware. My phone reset himself after installing and stuck on samsung logo. Is there any way I can fix? Thanks.

I tried to look but I only find this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642274 and it didn't help me. I think because I have installed 4.1.2 version. Kies can't downgrade I think...

After you installed successfully a stock rom then you have to do a factory reset in original Android recovery (factory reset with original Android recovery will delete all your data also on internal storage). Or try to reflash the Firmware

I think my problem is I didn't do any wipes in teamwin recovery. I installed the official firmware with Odin and I got bootloop. I don't know how to fix it. I tried the solution examples in this forum and I still have bootloop. By the way I had Cyanogen Mod 11.0 and I rooted Pack-Man 4.4.2 with Odin without doing any cache wipes etc, and I got bootloop after installing it. I really appreciate helps. Thanks.

Yes you ned to wipe cache, dalvik and data when moving from one android version to another. Searxh for a "wipe"-file for i8190 to flash in odin.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11

Thanks for the help all, I fixed the problem by doing wipe caches.Great community
