I want to completely format my phone back to factory settings. A consistent WiFi issue has been troubling me with every single ROM I use. I even went back to stock with root. I think a complete factory reset is in order. I'm on 4.4.2 and nc2. I would prefer to stay on this. Would reformatting change it?
Edit: I did a factory format from the recovery menu. The WiFi problem is still there. Toggling off than on the WiFi again seems to partially fix the problem.

Last night I power cycled my phone and put it on my charger. When I woke up this morning and looked at my phone there were a ton of force close screens. I have no phone (cannot make calls) and not data.
I power cycled the phone over and over and have been searching the net all day but cannot get it to work. The only thing that I had done prior to the initial power cycle was a few updates from the market, so I uninstalled those apps, but it appears that was not the problem.
I have root access and was running gumbo's rom (now MaDoCo...thought that would help) and I really don't wanna do a factory reset. Is there anything I can do?
Factory reset is most likely gonna be your only option. If you dont wanna do that, do you still have the .zip for your rom on your mem card? If so, why not just reflash the zip? Might take care of the issue without having to do a hard reset. I am assumingm, though, that if you are rooted you would have created a nandroid backup? Why not just restore?
Tried reflashing the rom and that didn't work. Gonna do a Factory reset now. Lets see
tried factory reset and now i'm stuck on boot screen
Did you ever make a Nandroid backup?? I would suggest you run the Sprint RUU and bring your phone back to Stock, reroot, install recovery, and then a custom ROM. That looks like your best option.
But, just for the hell of it -- take out of your battery and then insert it back in and reboot, see if that does anything.
What kind of factory reset did you do? Wipe from recovery, go through setting, the home>back>power one, or what? And are you stuck at the HTC screen? That happened to me once, but it was because I flashed a GSM rom my first try. Boot into recovery, wipe the phone, and if that doenst do it, I agree with pseodo, time to RUU.
Well I tried resetting from the recovery and wiping, but it will not boot up. Then I tried the RUU, but it wont get past the boot screen in order for me to to connect it to the USB. I tried connecting the USB through recovery and although I can access my SD card via my PC, going through the steps for the RUU says its not connected.
I took my phone over to sprint and although they know I have a custom rom on there (which voided my warranty), they are still gonna give me a brand new one and send mine back through manufacture warranty. It'll be in on Tuesday. Luckily for me I have an online back up through by MyBackUpPro, so I should be good on restoring settings, apps, contacts and all other important stuff. (Minus Root and Custom Rom )
Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.
I flashed a new set of icons last week and had a bunch of force closes, restored a nandroid and everything was fine.
Hi guys I wanted to go ahead and reload a different ROM. I had purehero 2.1 MOC (maps-oced) but I heard that the nonclocked version has better stability with wi-fi. I went ahead and tried to downgrade the rom without wiping and everything booted up fine. However wi-fi tethering was still not working I kept getting an error about unable to start wifi tethering etc. I went ahead and tried many roms (pure hero/alysious) all that wouldn't require wipe. I still kept getting same error. I went ahead and went to recovery I did a factory wipe/loaded rom and it just stays on the nexus X cross as if it's trying to boot but it doesn't it just keeps recyling over and over again. I went back to recovery and wiped data/factory and also dalvik cache ( i have a2sd enabled) then retried loading rom and same thing. I'm at the moment of wiping all mentioned plus eXt2 and reloading rom AGAIn. I hope this time it boots up.
Will something in my SD card possibly have my phone acting up the way it is? If so what solutions do u guys suggest? I hope after doing the last step I mentioned I can FINALLY log into my phone. At the moment i'm unable to do so. My aim name is crown510. If any of u can assist me I would appreciate it. Thank you!
Exactly what the title says. Im currently running apex 8.2 (a GB rom). If i were to do a hard reset, would it flash back to a stock apex 8.2, or a stock jf6? or do something else?
Thanks
If you are referring to the dialer code hard reset, it will simply wipe your data and format your internal memory. It will not "flash" your phone back to a stock firmware.
A hard reset, as in pulling the battery? No, doing a reset by pulling the battery will not flash you back to stock Apex or otherwise. After a hard reset (battery pull) you should still have all your settings, contacts and such. However, if you mean hard reset as in doing a factory reset (from the settings -> privacy) then yes it will bring your phone into a state that resembles stock. Stock, whatever ROM you've got installed. You, will still have all your data on the internal SD card, but none of your settings, contacts etc.
To do a complete wipe and get back to stock you will need to re-flash to or jf6, or the ROM of your choice.
Ah! i got it now Thanks
I wanted to perform a factory reset because I keep getting really high Android OS usage on my phone. However, when I went to settings -> backup and rest -> factory reset, it didn't reset my phone; it just rebooted again. Then I tried to reset it by booting into recovery, so I powered up the phone holding the volume down button, scrolled to the recovery section, pressed up to select it, and it just made my phone restart again. I don't know why my phone won't let me perform a factory reset, could someone help me out? It is rooted and has titanium backup and greenify installed, but that's about it.
PwnMyMoto hijacks stock recovery. You'll need to uninstall it to get the recovery back to factory reset.

don't think you can uninstall pwnmymoto because it already uninstalled itself after it rooted your phone. You will have to flash stock frimware on the device using RSDlite. tutorial found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
for high android os usage it might be because of the wifi router you are connected to fyi. try running on no wifi for a day or a night or whatever and see if that doesn't change. There seems to be an issue with some routers that cause the usage to be extremely high. I'm having the problem currently because of my wifi router.

you can always flash the fw for your device onto your phone. you may not be able to flash an older version of a fw for your phone but you can always flash a current version. if you use rsdlite to do a full factory reset it will work. you just can't do a factory reset through the recovery mode in your phone because pwnmymoto hikacked it so its no longer there.
if you have a locked bootloader and you want to do a factory reset or flash a rom you need to install Safestrap
here is a link to the thread all about it

This is crazy guys, after I flashed LOS, I wasn't able to connect to the wifi and whenever I do, the phone causes to reset and ruin the Internet for every temporarily. I thought it was just this phone so I went to shop and switched for a new one. And as soon as I flashed RR, guess what? Same thing happens. I'm so lost, what did I do wrong? These are the steps I took to flash custom ROMs. First, I unlocked bootloader and flash TWRP 3.0xx recovery. Next, I factory reset, wipe cache system data everything and flashed firmware, then ROM, finally the Gapps. I tried to flash back to official ROMs, the problem remained. I'm so screwed, don't know if the shop gonna let me switch to a new one, again.
P.S. on the bright side, I can mess with other's Wifi, make them unusable.
P.S. 2 during zip installing in TWRP, I saw two red lines like this "E:unknown command [log], detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system, script succeeded: result was [1.000000]..." but it said done regardless
