hi all! i've deleted semcwizard.apk from my mini because I consider it crapware. this seems the first app which launch after the update to 2.1
but i've forgotten to do the factory reset after the update, and now I want to do it.
well, do I need to push semcwizard.apk in the system/app folder and do the reset or can I do that without semcwizard.apk installed? I don't wanna repair with pc companion another time!
also, if I remove dop.iso, can I do the factory reset securely? tkx

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.
Long story short i deleted my data/app file(accidentaly). Sony xperia S android 4.2.1 i think... Dont ask how that happened. So right after i deleted it by mistake everything started crashing many apps stopped working. Immediatly after doing that i restored a restore point and rebooted. As you would expect my phone is password protected, but when i klick the password slot id doesnt show the keyboard nor the option to change keyboard because i was using swift key keyboard. Now i cannot enter my phone, so i think that i should do s factory reset but i cant do that. I know that i saw a factory reset option on the sony software updater on my pc because i wanted to update my phone. Also when i tried to root my phone i could not flash it some broken driver issue (was not able to fix) so i finally rooted it with the root tool kit. Well please help me with this. Also i assume that the restore point didnt work. Please help :crying: :crying:
Hmm. So you deleted your /data/app folder and most of the apps are gone? Whoops! lol And you are rooted. Do you have a custom recovery? I'm assuming so since you said you tried to restore a backup, is that correct? It would probably just be easiest to factory reset in recovery as that will remove the password and then when it boots, you can restore the keyboard app. Other option is trying to remove the password in recovery (has to be custom) with adb commands as you won't be able to while booted due to the password.

Well the thing is that im not near a pc for the next few days, but i have a tablet which has the device input to usb output cable. So i was wondering if theres a app that turns my android tablet into a keyboard for my phone. Ive been looking but only found bluetooth and wireles keyboard wich wont do me any good since my phone is locked. Also is there an app that could hack my phone since its rooted.
Pretty sure you're out of luck without the PC.

hi all,
I have a new S9+ (SM-G965F/DS), when I first power up the phone, there are many samsung apps inside such as samsung pay, browser, email.
After I did a factory reset in setting menu and restart the phone, I found that some samsung apps mentioned above were missing, need to download and install, what happened for this?
why factory reset would delete official apps?
thanks!
After a factory reset, during the device setup it asks you if you want to install those items. If you skipped over it or unchecked them, they will not be installed and you will have to install them manually...
Hello.
I have TV BOX with several applications installed, games and other things. But when I have a problem I need to do a factory reset I lose all these applications. How do I reset the reset to the point I set, not the Factory default.
I'm using an MXQ-4K PRO.
Thank you!
Hi
I wanted to know if there is a way to disable factory reset so if I uninstall apps then factory reset won't bring them back.
Thanks
