Soft & Hard Reset with custom rom - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I installed VillainRom 5.3. All is great and ok but it's not ok when I try to use RSS from HTC News app (not widget...and anybody has that issue). I get FC everytime. Then I can't reset also autokiller app.
I was thinking to try a soft or hard reset. Do you think is a good idea? Can I do it also with a custom rom? How can I do it?
Thank you.

Hard reset; taking out the battery,
Soft reset; close app/whatever and open it again.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure this is what it is, "Hard" reset being, hardware. "Soft" reset being software...

Yes, correct.
I made a hard reset and now I don't have anymore some apps of Villainrom I had before (3D Gallery, News and Weather, ecc..)

That's extreamy odd.. You just took out the Battery and restarted the phone?
Did you;
Flash the rom,
restart,
install apps,
froze,
hard reset
- missing apps?
Try and reflash the ROM with this method, or backup a previous Nandroid backup,
Go into recovery, restart + hold down Home
Wipe everything
Flash Latest Radio
Restart
Flash ROM
Restart + let ROM load, this will take a while (Up to 20 mins)
Have a look at your new rom, but don't bother doing anythign (Setting ect..)
Restart
Now, when the ROM loads it will be quicker and you can use it normaly
After a few restarts it tends to get slighty quicker.
Have fun

I solved the problem installing the new version of the ROM.

Two problems with Dj Steve 1.9.0

Just updated to DJ STEVE'S 1.9.0 rom and I keep having my browser force close after five minutes of use and the Android Market keeps on turning off and on my att connection. Is anyone else having these problems? Is there a fix for it?

Have you tried doing a factory reset yet ?.
He suggests that it might be a good idea after installing the ROM.
So a factory reset doesn't actually restore it to out of box? I was afraid to do one on mine.
HELLPPPP
The Regular Factory Reset that is in the settings or the one that is in the recovery? What will that do with the browser and the market?
Factory reset removes most of the data files and brings to it back to default.
Most of the common errors are corrected by this measure.
THis will wipe all apps. However u can reinstall them back from the market.
( most of the time it automatically installs)
So reset from settings or from recovery menu? Will I have to install the rom..
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
The factory reset after the installation of DJ's ROM will just remove any apps/settings etc that were carried over from your factory install but will leave the new ROM other wise intact.
And yeah to do the factory reset is just a matter of holding both Volume buttons along with the power button while powering on the machine from an OFF state . Select factory reset with the volume rocker then hit the camera button.
Still having problems...

[Q] Factory data reset freezes when rebooting

Hi!
Device: HTC flyer
My market will stopped working, it has been a week now - I wrote all about clear cache etc. but does not work - so last solution seems to be a factory data reset.
But under the factory data reset - the screen says: "rebooting" they flyer freezes and I can't do anything. After several times trying to turn the device off; it finally says program not responding and I can close the factory reset down. But that does not solve my problem. It must be doing something under the initial rebooting as eg. my notes in "notes" are gone.
The purpose for buying the device was for downloading books and use some of the programmes from market etc. but can't download anything. Updates cannot be downloaded neither.
It stats to download but it's downloading while saying " download unsuccessfull"
Hope someone can help
Try manually going into the bootloader. Hold down and power. Then reset from there
make sure to post questions in General as this is very blatantly the wrong subforum
try the reset as described above you will need to disable fast boot though first...

phone turn lockscreen on and off

hay
i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

do post back the results i had the same problem long time ago, but factory reset solved it
for now its ok, but IDK how long.
Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

[Q] Factory reset problem?

Hi everyone,
I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S III, amazing phone, but I fear I had a problem, on the first start, during the setup wizard, I skipped a passage and I wasn't unable to go back and see what was, so I (stupidly) made a factory reset to redo the setup wizard, more slowly, but I had two problems then: Play Store process force closed while updating apps, and Facebook widget doesn't work fine sometimes, it doesn't load posts and cannot open app from the widget, it's such as blocked. So I fear that factory reset was a stupid move, and could have caused this two problems, or it doesn't matter and those problems are indipendent of the reset? I have to say that I haven't got other problems and other apps/components seem to work very well and when I reopened the Play Store no more problems until now, maybe was the system updating the play store and closed it? Sorry but I am really nervous, I love that phone and don't want problems
Factory reset won't cause problem, other than losing data/settings.
Factory Reset = restore phone to out of the box in your case .

Yeah I know, but I did it in the recovery xD and I worried about it, (I was usual with my old SGS to do it in the recovery when installing a custom ROM)
Thank you for the answer, I needed a conferm, and of course, a relief.
You can reload the rom using kies or you can update to jellybean. This should fix your issue.

Hard to say.
Could also be a hardware issue.
I recommend to flash back stock ROM with stock kernel.
Maybe you have to wipe data (do factory reset).
Then check again.
Good luck !

You've already done the extreme of reinstalling a stock ROM and performing a factory reset. I'm also assuming you didn't install a bunch of apps before the problem started, though.
My advice would be: go back to stock ROM again, factory reset, and SLOWLY reinstall your apps. This will help narrow down what app could be causing your issue. (if it is an app)
No bumping threads after 54 minutes. Not cool. People here aren't at your beck & call :-/

sorry for that ,but this site is my only hope
i tried ..i put the stock rom without any apps installed.but i had the same problems..by example when i want to delete a widget from the screen the phone stucks a few seconds,and the came to normal..the home button had the same delay and the proximity sensor works with the same delay,when i want to close a call ,stays a 5-10 seconds to light up the screen..i dont know,what is with him,i m disperate
..and what is strange,by example when is on charge ,the home delay dissapeared,works normally,but the rest of the problems remain
comeone..nobody knows anything about my problems with phone?
1.send it to Samsung for warranty.
2.get your money back from "friend".
I think i had similar problems with you previously, even worse maybe. Battery shows charging while cable is unplugged. Some of the time it pops up a warning message "Unstable Voltage". I did the same thing as you, flashing roms, wiping x " i forgot how many times", factory resetting X times and so on. What solved the problem for me was ;
-> i took out the battery
-> left phone untouched for several days
-> put the battery back -> charged till full
-> wipe data, factory reset, wipe battery stats, wipe cache,dalvik as well, FIX permissions
-> flash latest stock rom ( 4.0.4 at that time )
-> reboot phone
-> root again ( flashing stock rom loses root ) using CF-Root
-> reboot to CWM recovery
-> wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache,dalvik as well, FIX permissions
-> flash PA (Paranoidandroid ROM - please follow the instruction from OP post) via CWM
->wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache, FIX permissions
-> reboot phone
-> wait for apps updated and then reboot to recovery and FIX permission for the final time and VOILA!!
The phone works great up till this moment. Not sure if you gonna solve your issue with the way i did it but might worth the try. Nothing to lose anyway it seems as you were hardcore-ing flashing roms and wiping data and such. Good Luck!
Certainly that i hope this will be able to relieve you of the unnecessary distress.

i tried to do all things that you sayed to me,without to leave the phone with no battery several days..dand nothing happend,the problems persist ..i dont know ,i dont have a guarantee,and the cost may be high,thanks anyway
UP
Your friend clearly sold you a dodgy phone. You should demand your money back and use the phone to beat him until he pays. That is my diagnosis and clearly the answer to your "problem".
today after wipe everything and flash de jelly bam rom ,custom kernel etc..doesnt work at all,but i removed the battery for 30 minutes,and when i put it back and openned it ,everything works very well..just a calibrate,and clearly now have no problems..how long it mentain,i dont know,but even now i dont know what it had .. mistery
so,what are you thinking,what is the cause?
