Hello I am trying to factory reset and put my phone back to stock. This is a verizon developer ed. running TeamWin custom recovery. When I try to wipe the phone it reboots to TeamWin recovery then back on with no changes. I think I need to flash the stock recovery but I cannot find the file for this???

Thanks! But I am not sure this includes the factory recovery images?
Those are the factory images

Yes, you can't do anything in recovery with encrypted data.
You need to completely wipe the device flashing your stock software.
And don't downgrade... Ever. ?
If your Android version isn't there, you may need to wait.

Hello, I did a bad install of AOKP, and as a result can't get past the boot screen, sadly I forgot to make any backups or recoverys, and because I am using blackrose,there is no option to do a factory reset.
Is there anyway to get back to factory defaults?

What do you mean with factory defaults? On which rom do you want to end up? If you would like to go back to stock rom see this thread.
Do you have a working recovery? In that case you can flash any rom you want and your done. If not you can install any recovery via fastboot.
Trying to sell my rooted and flashed HTC One. I want to do a factory reset to erase my pictures, data, accounts, etc but I want to keep it rooted and flashed to the rom installed which is Android Revolution 31.0
What is the safest way to do this?

Do a full wipe in recovery and sideload the ARHD

Really easy. Just boot into your custom recovery whether it ne CWM or TWRP and do a factory reset and also wipe the system

Will system wipe require me to reload the ROM again?
Hi There,
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas why my phone refuses to co-operate!
Basically, after getting bored of the stock rom when I first got my phone, I somehow managed to install a CM based rom. That worked, but I got bored of the fact that the camera never seemed to work right, and some apps didn't work/ were graphically buggy. Assuming it was just a badly ported graphics driver or whatever, I found a way, using FlashTool, to revert to the stock rom (C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic UK to be precise). I wasn't sure exactly what it did, but it was back how it used to be. sorted.
So, since kitkat made it's way to the XZ, I thought I'd try one of those roms, being the curious bugger that I am. The process I ended up going with eventually was:
>Downgrading Kernel to a lower version because the root explot wouldn't work on 10.3.1.A.0.244
>Rooting using "DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18"
>Upgrading kernel to one that would accept a recovery
>Installing TWRP
>Booting into recovery, CWM appeared instead. Strange, I thought. Oddly, mount USB wouldn't work at all, so I had to boot the phone back up to transfer the kitkat rom over
>Trying to flash the rom gave me an error number 7
>Boot Loop, at which point I just flashed 10.3.1.A.0.244 again.
I've tried this twice now, first with DooM Kernel, and then once with a different one. Neither CWM or TWRP have worked properly. Any help? Or am I just cursed?
Cheers
Tried this again, did literally everything I could think of and still no dice. Help? Have I somehow forced my phone to be on stock software forever?
If you dont unlock your bootloader, you can not use any kind of custom kernel.
That means aosp or aokp based firmwares can not run over locked bootloader.
Locked bootloader checks sign of kernel, if not certificated you will stuck on bootloop.
If you want to use any kind of custom rom... basicly.
1. Backup ta partition. " so you can revert any time you want."
2. Copy firmware zip file tou your internal or external sdcard.
3. Flash custom kernel. "Most of kernel have recovery option build in".
4. Boot in recovery mod. "Mostly press volume down while booting"
5. Insall custom rom.
6.a wipe dalvik-cache
6.b factory reset
Old setting might work or not with new rom. So first try to wipe dalvik- cache. If you stuck on boot loop or any kind of problem, just boot in recovery again and run factory reset.

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I had unlocked the bootloader when I first got the phone and just assumed it would be permanent. Would flashing it back to stock firmware re-lock the bootloader?
But yes, assuming my boot loader is still unlocked ( I have tried to check and it doesn't seem to be locked) I have been through those steps basically. I am fine to flash a kernel with a recovery but the recovery never works properly/ at all. I can root the phone no problem though.
Best to extract the boot.img from the zip file of the ROM you want to flash, and flash that first. Then flash the ROM from its recovery.

Cheers, I'll give that a go - I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to flash kernels that weren't designed for the currently installed ROM though? It just seems that any kernel I flash isn't working properly so I didn't think doing that would play any nicer with the phone

You're not actually going to boot into your current rom after flashing the kernel.
Flash the kernel via fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the rom.
All this should be covered in the installation instructions of whatever rom you're trying to flash in any case....

Well, that seems to have done it! Thanks very much for your help.
So, I guess the moral here is that if you're on stock and need a recovery to flash a new ROM, always use the boot.img from the ROM you'll be using.
Thanks again - I'd never seen that said before but quite possibly I wasn't paying attention!
Hi, I have a OP3t running OOS4.1.1 with ElementalX Kernel.
I would like to go back to stock settings. Stock Kernel, Recovery, unroot, and maybe lock bootloader.
I've seen a lot of videos showing how to get back to stock but they showed it with the stock Kernel.
I am a little bit scared to follow their instructions since I have a different Kernel.

Oh wow so I don't even need to erase my personal data.
Just flash the OOS Zip with TWRP and then flash the stock recovery from fastboot, or it must be from TWRP?

You can do it both ways
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab A T510. I have installed TWPR 3.3.1-6 and also rooted it with Magisk. I would like to remove everything and return it back to stock. By stock I mean Stock Recovery and full reset of the device. Also to lock back boot loader(to remove Knox screen at start-up).

Flashing a stock ROM with Odin will remove both TWRP and Magisk. There are instuctions already for relocking the bootloader and doing that will inclucde a "factory reset".

Can you link to this? I can't find it anywhere, and I want to do the same thing.

I have no idea by you mean "link to it". If you use Odin to flash a stock ROM, that ROM includes a recovery partition that overwrites TWRP and the stock kernel overwrites the custom kernel that was patched with Magisk. There is no need to do anything else to remove them.

Thanks for the replay.
Where can I find stock ROM for T510 with instructions how to flash it correctly?
