Hi,
I am wondering, is it safe to do a factory reset on 10h rooted? I have read somewhere in the O4X forums that by doing a factory reset (or using the CWM recovery?) it is possible to brick the phone. Please, clarify Thanks in advance

Should be saft. Reas0n bricked his phone, but they changed the mainboard. So it's not clear if it was the factory reset or the faulty mainboard. I've done factory reset a few times, didn't brick anything.
Same here I've done it a hundred times no probs here

Actually ics has an emmc bug and you are on unsafe kernel.
Flash a safe kernel like phillz.then you can do hardreset.

Download philz kernel as per yr region.
Flash through stock recovery.
Now yr completely safe to wipe or factory reset.
Then when u factory reset u can sell yr phone.
Still if u ve question yr phone is rooted.
Follow doctor ketan s thread of all stock rom.
Download n flash it via odin. Which is safe n u will get yr phone to factory condition.(os part )
N now off the topic.
Jus take a glimpse of update coming for note before u sell yr phone.

No. Not recommended. The ICS kernel has a bug that can leave your phone a brick. It is not advised you do anything in recovery once you're on stock kernel. But I think a soft reset (from settings) will clear all your data since you wanna sell it. I'm a newbie but I hope I've helped.
even from the settings doing a factory reset may trigger a brick. I have read it sum where in entropys thread

There's not such a thing like soft reset... Either if you factory reset from recovery or from settings if you are on ics stock kernel you might end up with a brick in your hands

any reset done inside OS options is called a soft reset ( settings )
any reset done outside OS is called hard reset ( cwm )

Agreed, but in the old days of pda's, there was no on off capacity, there was alternatives of combo keys for soft off, power cycle, or hard reset to perform a wipe of the data.

Thats better.
And as human concern after sale.
After sale i meant.
Inform the buyer regarding emmc brickbug on stock ics kernel.
Cos most of the seconds buyers usually they try to factory reset jus to wipe off previous users data fully.
Then note can b a nightmare for him.
There are some apps not installing, in my phone. Those installed in previous version before master reset after root.
What apps you mean?

i did factory reset. But no help. Anyways when i messed up build.prop and reset had to be done. From then this is happening. I think old game's some data or something is there which not letting install same name file with different signature. Do you know anything about it? And can you give your build.prop too?
please help
Please help. Problem didn't existed before. Kdz flash didn't help.
Looks like it is a system app. And normally if u delete those u can't reinstall them in the conventional way.
Best thing is. Do not uninstall system based apps. U even should get a warning when uninstalling them. Don't do it.

You can try flashing the attached file with ODIN (as PDA).
This will do a factory reset to your phone and hopefully make it boot normally.

I believe you need to flash an official rom again to remove root.
After that, do a factory defaults reset.

I have a 4.1.2 android version of GT-N7100. I'm on an official rom. My phone is NOT rooted. Will a hard reset (by entering into a recovery mode, and factory reset) can brick my phone?
Is there any steps that i have to do before doing a hard reset?
I read a lot of threads and i get confused with myself about the SG-note being brickable.
EDIT: Okay nevermind. I will just patch a safe kernel and do a hard reset.
A factory reset will delete all user installed apps, and all settings will be returned to default.
Back up your internal sd card, phone and sms logs.

Flash Philz kernel and then perform all the wipes.

That's like saying I did heroin and didn't die so u are OK...
Don't do heroin, and don't trust a Samsung ROM on this device to be brickbug safe. I don't care if people claim JB is brick bug safe. I am on this forum every day and read EVERY n7000 post. It is NOT proven safe.

Not all phones get bricked when a full wipe is performed.
If you got lucky, and didn't bricked yours, you can't suppose it's safe and recommend it to everyone. That is just a plain stupid thing to do.
JB does have the emmc cap erase enabled, so it is NOT safe. Just look at the sources.
