I have performed factory data reset on my gionee m2 from the settings and then it rebooted to the page in which it shows formatting/data... and now it has been stuck on this screen for much time.
I tried to open it to bootloader but it doesn't open in it.
Also, the phone is non-rooted one with stock ROM.
Please help.
The phone is rooted and don't know how to reset it

Hello all
My rooted phone is going to service and I wanted to factory reset it before sending it. I relocked the bootloader but now that I try to factory reset the phone via the Settings meny, the phone reboots but then just shows me the white screen with the options "BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN".
If I select BOOTLOADER I have an option saying FACTORY RESET but it just takes me back to the first menu.
Please help since I really need to send my phone back.
Realized that flashing the stock recovery might help and it did. Below is the link if anyone is experiencing the same thing:

So, what did you do to fix this problem?
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

Hi,
As the title of this post says, myMotorola Razr i (XT890) got stuck some days ago so I tried to do a reset with Power + Vol - as usual but when the phone booted up again it got stucked on the Motorola logo.
The phone is not rooted and runs the stock ROM which is Jelly Beans 4.1.2.
I tried to wipe the cache entering the fastboot but it didn't make it work better.
I could do a wipe data / factory reset but it happens that I have several pictures very important on the internal memory of the phone and I'm affraid that the factory reset wipe everything.
Is there a way to perfrom a back up of my files while the phone is turned off ?
Is the wipe data / factory reset wipe everything ?
I don't really care about the phone but I would like a lot to get back my files.
Do not hesitate to ask me for mmore information if you think you can help me.
Thank you for your help.
Hi
I will have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!
So I upgraded to Lollipop not too long ago and did a factory reset, and ever since then everything "Samsung Account" related does not work. Trying to add a Samsung account does absolutely nothing. It's like the button just doesn't work! Because of this, I wanted to reset my device again. However, upon clicking the Reset button, a little Samsung Account screen pops up for a split second and disappears, rendering the factory reset button useless. Furthermore, I'd use Kies to factory reset, but when my Note is plugged into the computer (using the cable it came with), it likes to randomly disconnect and reconnect to the computer, so I can't factory reset that way. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to what I can do that doesn't involve voiding my warranty? Thanks!

Your issue with not being able to do a factory reset may have a lot to do with the
"Reactivationg lock" option, you need to uncheck it before doing a factory data reset..
With the re-activation lock is checked I doubt you can do a factory data reset.
Once the phone has been reset, do the following:
Go to http://Sammobile.com and download the official stock N910T 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware for your phone.
Then use ODIN to flash the firmware, flashing the firmware will not void your warranty and your phone will
be in the exact same condition as when you purchased it.
Before you odin flash the firmware be sure to go into your phone's settings>security and make sure that the
"Reactivation lock" is not checked.
Also be sure you do a factory reset by going into settings>Backup and reset and do a "factory data reset"
before you ODIN flash the official firmware.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply! However, I can't perform a factory reset by going to Settings>Backup and Reset, because the "factory data reset" button does absolutely nothing when I press it (besides launch something that says "Samsung Account" for literally a split second).

Have you UN-CHECKED the Reactivation lock before trying to do a factory data reset?
You need to do that first then reboot.. The reactivation lock is in settings>Security
Then do a factory data reset.
Good luck!

I just used the recovery to eventually reset because even with the reactivation lock unchecked it wasn't working. All is good now, thanks!

Just factory reset in recovery (twrp/phills'cwm) is not the same
same thing as doing the factory data reset in the phone itself.

How so? I thought it was the same, especially since I don't have a custom recovery. Everything seems to be working fine now too.
Hi all,
Hope someone is able to help, I have an Mi5 Pro and simply wanted to do a factory reset of the stock MiUi. My phone is global rom version completely stock.
I simply backed everything up, then went into settings --> about --> factory reset
After the phone seemed to do the reset it came back with a screen with the image of a phone and a cable asking to be plugged in.
So I installed the Mi PC software and the phone drivers, restarted the PC and plugged the phone in.
It recognises that it's been plugged in and the PC software starts to 'look for updates' then I get the error "Reading Device Information Failed"
I've tried to get into Fastboot but every time I do, the phone wont go past the Fastboot logo screen with the white creature repairing the android.
All I wanted was to do a stock factory reset.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Cheers,
Matt
The "screen with the image of a phone and a cable asking to be plugged in" comes when you try to boot into recovery. Because the bootloader is locked it won't allow to reboot in recovery and will show this screen.
I'll suggest, download the latest MIUI rom from en.miui.com and flash through fastboot.
I have a LG straight talk phone an after I factory reset it ask for a pin /password to decrypt
IMEI: 356810-06-202592-1
I'm a having a similar issue, when I try to factory reset my Mi5 vía Settings, it suddenly turns off and when I get it to turn on (because it's difficult, I don't know exactly how I did it) nothing was erased.
