Hi all,
After a not so smooth transition to Oppo, yesterday I almost collapsed when I looked at my phone and saw the config assistant starting.
I've left the phone unattended during around 2 hours and for some reason a factory reset was performed. I know that to perform a factory reset you need to input the password, so it's out of question that was done by one of the kids (they are 4 and 7). So, the real question is:
1) Did anyone experienced this before?
2) Could overheat cause a factory reset?
I know that all my data was lost but most was recovered. Unfortunately, all the files in the hard drive are vanished forever...

Did you recover a backup or clone from old to new phone?
If this process does not complete successfully, you can end up back at the start of the wizard.
Once a restore or copy from old phone has completed "successfully" I cannot see any way the phone would auto factory reset.
No, I've managed to recover some of the data but for some reason I couldn't recover it all - the files in the local drive were lost forever...
The weird thing is why or how did the auto factory reset happened.

Hi all,
I have searched around and found no answers.
my tilt was acting up a little so i decided to go back
to my previous best setup of all files.. so i ran my backupfiles (3 month old)
as this one had the right type of files I needed.
When I ran it, it did its thing and when it restarted it said that storage memory is full and some programs may not be able to function.
and ever since I haven't been able to use my tilt.. nothing functions.
I called up the ATT guys (2 AM LOL) and they were like, this is a fone problem and you'll have to take it up with the warranty guys to get it replaced.
I was wondering if there was anything I cud do to stop that replacement as this fone has gone thru a lot of modifications and I dont' wanna lose it!
Don't sound like a hardware issue. If you hard reset your phone and do not load your backup do you get this error? Or does this only happen when you try reinstalling from the backup?
If the backup was done from a different ROM it could be whats causing the problem.
If its happening right after a hard reset without you installing anything then its probably the device.
Check whether you have a recording file in main memory
This could have happened if you accidentally pressed the record button and created a large recording.
These files are usually stored in main memory.
It happened to me a lot in my AXIMS.
You can check by using start-settings-system-memory and there's an option to check which files are eating up your memory.
Another way would be to use the built-in file explorer and goto to the PPCs root directory and check there (or in MyDocuments).
no the backup isn't at fault.
I used this previously and it worked fine.
This time I installed the sprint version of the HTC today plugin and I wanted to get rid of the original HTC today plugin .. removed the HTC today plugin, did a soft reset, and all my data vanished (contacts/calendar details and stuff)..
so I decided to restore my backup which should have restored everything that I lost.
When the loading finished, it said that storage memory was low, and since then I haven't been able to do anything with the fone.. can't even do a hard reset.
It doesn't even respond to a USB being plugged in to re-install the ROM.

Have you tried a hard reset using the soft key combination? That should work regardless of any memory issues that would prevent you from getting to Clear Storage under Settings.
that's what finally worked.
It hit me at 4 in the morning
that there is a manual way
of doing a hard reset without
re flashing ..
thanks for all your interest peeps!
today，I install a software "TMTCP" for video ,and I reset my kaiser.then the kaiser reset ,reset ,reset,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,till I unplug the battery. I flash the offical version,OK,but kaiser also reset,reset.what happen for my phone.help me ,thanks
happened to me too... hard reset will solve the problem but you'll lost all the valuable software installed...
I have hard reset，problem also
hard reset supposed bring back the setting to the original factory setting... in your case might be advisable to ask help from the expert... sorry can't help
Not sure if I'm experiencing the same problem.
I've recently installed the Core Media Player??? used it once or twice I believe then it crashed and wouldnt work anymore. I uninstalled it a day or two ago. Today my screen keeps freezing every few minutes after a soft reset ... it appears to have resolved it self for now but I'd like to know what happened.....
tnx.
So I've had some weird stuff happening the last couple days, which is to be expected since i've been experimenting with JPH, OCLF 2, and Rooting.
Now, last night I decided to flash back to JG8, re-partitioned, then factory reset. Then I flashed JPH and factory reset. Now after I got all my apps setup again, I thought I was good, but decided to reboot once more. Upon reboot, everything looked like a normal boot, but i was greeted by a phone in a semi factory reset state. By that I mean, everything looked factory, but if I went into manage applications I could see the com.blah.packagnames of some of my apk's i had installed, but none had icons, and they all showed 0 size.
The only possible reason I can think of for this to happen is that I rebooted while my phone was plugged into my pc, and while odin was open (although it was not doing anything at the time).
I'm kind of afraid now of having my phone randomly go back to basically, factory defaults on its own. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a good explanation? If I can reproduce it, I'm happy to avoid it, it's the lack of predictability right now that worries me.
Thanks
So its been a while since I have used my LG G4 and last time I used it, I did a complete wipe. Now that I went through the setup wizard, after putting up Wi-Fi, it asks for the PIN. Why would it need a PIN if it is reset. I got the issue removed by going back into the setup wizard and turning Wi-Fi off. Ok I used the phone like normal and even did the system update by turning Wi-Fi on again. Now that Android is updated, the lock screen shows up and it requests a PIN. I used my old PIN which has been the same since my G2 all the way to my G5. I don't mind having to do a complete wipe as I stated before that I did a complete wipe before turning on the device. Since last time I have used custom ROMs and such my computer crashed so I do not have the SDK on the PC. Could anyone please help and maybe answer why my phone requires a PIN even though it was just reset? Thanks in advance.

could be something to do with factory reset protection or encrypted device
Hello all,
I have a Xiaomi Mi Mix (256gb) and I haven't changed anything since it came out of the box in March.
This morning, after working fine in the car, the screen stopped working. There are several grey lines at the top of the screen and the notification area is flickering, and I now can’t even unlock the screen. Nothing else will work. I’ve turned it off and on and rebooted multiple times, but this hasn’t done anything. It has never been dropped or thrown about.
Any ideas? I’d like to avoid doing a factory reset, but I’m sure that’ll be my next step (although I’ve no idea how I’ll do that!). I’m a complete novice when it comes to doing anything complicated with phones, so I’m in dire need of help. I’m not desperate to send it back to China!
I really hope someone can help…..

Seems like hardware problem.
But to check if its a software problem you have no other choice than factory reset.
Thanks. I suspect it is too, but hopefully a factory reset will help.
I tried to follow these instructions at Hardreset .info - but rather than the recovery screen I just get a screen telling me to plug the USB in and to go to pcsuite.mi.com. Fine for backing up, but not resetting! Any suggestions?

Was wondering how you would do that with no touch screen. Tried mi flash tool? Or fastboot? Not sure how far I would go if having to return to vendor. Is it possible the cable wasn't connected properly from new and just totally came off. If you're brave could take battery cover off and take a peek. Don't know what the answer is unfortunately.
