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

Hello everyone,
after trying many, many, many, ROM, I would like to make a full reset on my S Galaxy, before install a new rom, how do you recommend for erasing all data, as if the cell phone was just out of shop? (I've already made backup of EFS folder to save my IMEI ).
THANKS!
Have a nice DAY!

Yes, that is a full factory reset unlike the one in settings>privacy>factory reset.

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!

Hi XDA,
I have a HTC One that was an ex demo phone that I bought off my boss.
The problem I am having is I am unable to set up a screen lock and I think it has something to do with it being a demo model.
It did have a demo app that I have uninstalled that made no difference. I have attempted to factory reset with no success (via settings)
I attempted to factory reset using hardware buttons but the phone just turns on skips passed where the boot menu would normally be.
Does anybody have any idea how I could fix this issue as I would like to put some sort of screen lock on my phone
Regards

I would unlock it and flash a custom recovery so you can wipe the system partition

Does attempting a factory restore from hboot yield anything?

Going to the bootloader and wiping or going to recovery and wiping will remove any demo content there is, its not hard coded in, it's literally an app.

I'm unable to factory reset using hardware buttons (volume down and power)
When I did a factory reset using the option in settings it still had the demo app

Hi, I just had to wipe a store demo unit for regular use at work and came up against the same issues, however I used the ADB command "adb reboot recovery" and the phone rebooted into HTC recovery and allowed me to wipe it. Once it restarted all demo content was removed and the handset was back to being a regular device.
Hope this helps!
Just bought a demoex at the store for a good price. Had some trouble with demo mode to get it away as factory reset was greyed out but as poster above me said just enter recovery (shut down phone then press volume down + power) and from the recovery you can do a factory reset and the phone will enter "normal mode".
same problem here
Hi everybody,
I have the same problem to remove demo from htc one m8 tried factory reset but demo is still there.
Demo appears as an app in the app drawer and doesn't allow me to uninstall it.
Any solution?
Thanks.

Try the factory reset but yes you may have to flash a stock backup to get the phone normal again

Hey there, I'm in the same boat as 551515. The code is correct (thanks!) however a password/code is needed to factory reset from this menu. Do you know what it might be?
Thanks!
Press and hold the power button until a second display shows options to enable or disable demo mode and reboot.... this is how to get out of it I think on the M8..check my threads for it's full posting
No ....no need to flash, in demo mode a lot of options & uses are restricted like wifi etc but still useable as a mobile phone, as it states, it's in Demo Mode.
Thankfully you can turn it off unlike this Tab, you have to pull the battery!

Hi guys, I accidentally factory data reset my droid turbo... there's a recovery tool online but it required root on my phone, but now my phone is on 5.1, people has been saying its unable to root 5.1 at the moment, does that mean all my files are long gone?:crying:
All gone.
I'm legitimately curious, how did you reset it accidentally? There is a fair amount of tapping one has to go through to complete the action. Even in recovery you have to scroll like 5-6 times to finally complete the action. I'm sorry, that really does suck.
Unless you have it erase on too many incorrect lock screen attempts. That can happen.
Ah, I never use anything but a swipe for lockscreen security, that would be brutally annoying though obviously useful.
Once wiped the files are unrecoverable.

No. Verizon doesn't want you to be able to root your phone. If you are on stock 5.1, you cannot go backwards.
