How to reset Galaxy Note?

What are the possible resetting?
Soft Reset, hard reset, etc...
And how do I do them?
WIll they harm the OS in anyway?
I want to clean the device after testing it so it will be clean when it is given as a gift.

Put it back in the state as it was (hard reset).
Possible in the menu (Settings/Privacy), or: Take the sim out, and than *2767*3855#

can someone tell me the difference between hard reset and soft reset
various methods by which you can do it
guys can you also tell me in which reset i will get the note as it was out of the box
also please tell me when i do this reset my current stock rom (LB2) will be revereted to kl3 or i will be in lb2
i am noob
thanks

Soft reset is nothing just removing background application/process. As you just reboot your device.
Hard reset, wipe off your data, n will b just as out of box.
you can do with
1. setting - privacy - factory data reset (if you select format USB storage, then only data on USB storage will be wiped, as such no needed)
2.From recovery, Vol up + home + power - select wipe data
Hard reset won't revert back to previous ROM, it will same ROM which is you have right now. To revert back to old ROM, you need PC Odin.

dr ketan

I can't use my phone!

Hi my phone is unuseable now...
Everytime the messege Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stpped. Try again pops up.
I can't (or just don't now how to) enter recovery.
I also can't go to settings because the message pops up every 2 seconds.
When I click Force Close it goes back to the launcher.
Can I do a factory reset (I think it is solved then)?
How do I do that?

Just the stock ROM.
I can access s/w update and connect my phone as mass storage to my computer.

Thanks but that's the problem because when I want to enter the menu I get that message and when I press Force Close it sends me back to the launcher. I get that message every second so I cant go to settings.

I'm rather sure you only have Recovery if you installed CWM. Than just press power long and select it from that menu.

Thanks but I dind't have installed CWM yet. If i press power long it'll just boot and shut down and boot again (because it is forced power off during the boot)...

Press volume - (not +) button and power button same time for a while...you get into factory reset mode...
then you can have options and proceed

Thank you but it just boots wheb I try that. Can't I do something with s/w update or mass storage?

There might be simpler ways but that will help definitly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21472502&postcount=1
A simple Factory Reset would probably be enough but when you can't do it.

i think there is factory reset in secret menu
try 3845#*970#

Thank you but I also can't acces the dialer.
Isn't there any button combo?
USB debugging isnt also checked I think.

No other way that i know of since ob doesn't has some hard reset button combination
Try turning off and repairing via lg software

What ROM do you have installed? A stock one, or a custom ROM?
Infact in both ways you can do a factory reset by:
Plug in USB cable, enable usb debugging (if you have a custom ROM, it always should be on),
download the adb package from my noob how to (see attachments)
cd to the directory containing the adb files, type:
adb reboot recovery
Now you either are in CWM and can do the wipes 1 by 1, or if you have a stock ROM, it will perform
a factory reset right away
If all of that doesnt work, you have to use smartflashtool!

It's running the stock ROM and I thought USB debugging was disabled.
Can't I put firmware on a sd card that will flash automatically without recovery or going into the menu?

May have a easier way...but you can do this:
- Shut down your phone
- Hold the buttons Vol up + Home + Power
- You will enter in recovery stock mode
- Select wipe data/factory reset
- Select wipe cache
- Reboot system now
Doing this steps your phone will return in factory pattern.
Wait a better suggestion....sorry my bad english
Edited: Remembering that this method delete all your user data!

Can't access CWM recovery anymore

Hello,
Here is my problem, wanting to flash a theme on my Xperia Z, I had to perform a cache cleaning, this one was unusually long (~5minutes), so I brutally shut down the phone via power + volume up.
I wasn't aware of:
Phone hangs when cleaning cache?
Just leave it for a few minutes, it's needs some time to clean cache

Unfortunately it is now impossible for me to get back to the recovery (LED turns green but does not change to purple while holding volume up).
I already tried:
- Reinstall CWM recovery
- Install TWRP recovery hoping "overwrite" CWM (does not work either)
- Uninstall TWRP recovery
- Use the "reboot in recovery" option via clockworkmod and application TWRP (just reboot the phone normally)
edit:
- I now tried to do a factory reset but it's not working, nothing happen when I click "erase all data", can't tell if it's related though...
Having no other ideas I think it would be best to totally remove CWM recovery (via adb ?) and then reinstall it "properly"
Thanks

Update: Just tried to do a factory reset via settings but I doesn't work, nothing happen when I click "erase all data", can't tell if it's related though. Is there any other way to do a factory reset so I can go back to normal ?
Thanks

[Q] Will factory recovery on bootloader securely delete my data?

Hi,
As my phone cannot boot properly and the only screen I can get to is the bootloader screen (Power + Volume Down). I'm going to send my phone to get it fixed but I also have some pictures and data that I want to delete. Will factory reset or clear cache or any of the option on bootloader will securely delete all my data?
Best

if you have a stock recovery, or you are unrooted, this will do the job I did it several times.... so go for it... it'll delete all data including sdcard when using stock recovery and being unrooted !
