[Q] Recovery - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Rogers Dell Streak build 7921 in stock condition with Android 1.6.
I have not modified the phone as yet. I want to be able to get back to stock if needed after I flash roms.
Looking at screen shots of the clockwork recovery on the web, it seems to have a factory reset option.
1.
If I flash clockwork recovery and use nandroid to backup my current rom, can I perform a factory reset after that?
2.
if the answer to the question above is yes,
Will it reset to rogers stock rom?
3.
When the factory reset is performed will the clockwork recovery still be there or will it be back to the original factory recovery?

Dial (use stock dialer): *2767*3855# = factory reset
Thanks. I've done this factory reset know. But error still resists.
I can't power off my phone. If i shut it down then it always restarts !!!
No power off possible, since i flashed it with cognition rom and then
flashed back (because of some issues) to stock rom.
thanks for further support

You can't remove everything just from the dialer. You're going to have to flash the original firmware. And wipe. I hope there's someone who'll articulate.

[Q] Can I boot to 3.1 after stock recovery "factory reset"? [SOLVED]

To recalibrate my battery, I apparently must do the following:
Nandroid backup
flash back to stock with 3.1 kernel
flash the retail recovery
Factory reset (stock recovery does a couple extra things that cmw does not do)
Calibrate battery
Put into download mode, Flash cmw recovery through Odin
Restore nandroid
But, I read that the stock recovery "factory reset" will "wipe the SD card?". Does this mean that it wipes the ROM, so there is no ROM? If so, how do I then get the nandroid back onto the SD card, to restore? Is there a way to transfer files to the SGT while in recovery (I tried to "Mount USB storage" in CWM, without success)?
Or, does the "factory reset" just wipe user data, so I will still be able to boot to 3.1 after factory reset, and then I can kies the nandroid backup?
Thank you.
EDIT:
Took the plunge and learned that the stock recovery factory reset wipes the SD card and then installs the "factory" ROM, so you can boot the Tab after the procedure.
Issue solved, per OP.

[Q] Trying to restore to ATT stock, locks at ATT "rethink..." screen

Hello all, could use some help here.
I'm trying to restore my Note to the factory ROM and I'm running into an issue.
Fyi, I had the latest Paranoid JB Rom from Oct 13.
I followed the proceedures outlined in the forums (used ODIN to restore the default "attstockrom") and after that restore the phone would loop rebooting into ATT rethink possible animation screen.
I found and downloaded the latest 4.04 rom for the phone (I717UCLF6) and rebooted. Now it just hangs at the "ATT Rethink possible" graphic (no animation, no loop).
Odin does see the device fine so I can reflash again with no problems if I need to. I'm thinking of trying the I717UCLA1 version from Jan to see if that works but I'm hoping I can get some better advice before I do something that might cause more permanent problems.
Any advice on how to get back to stock ICS (or even JB) and get the phone working again?
Thanks!
Try doing a factory data/cache wipe from Recovery.
I flashed the stock rom via ODIN. There is no factory data/cache wipe since there's no custom recovery.
Are you suggesting flashing CWM/TWRP on the phone now then doing that?
Houston we have liftoff. Thanks for the tip Fappa, that got me into the phone (reinstalled cwm, factory reset). However I'd still like to remove CWM and go back to completely stock....
I'm not overly worried about it as I'm selling the phone but I'd like the new owner to have a completely clean phone in case they need to send it in at some point for repair. But in any case it's up and running with CWM and factory ICS rom.

I'm sure fappa meant to use the stock android recovery and wipe. when I go back to stock it always hangs at AT&T boot logo and have to wipe/reset from stock recovery to get it to boot.

Yes do what they say or you will continue to boot loop.

[Q] IMEI changes with new rom on SGH-T959 [SOLVED]

I ODIN'd back to stock from the Avatar Rom. I ran the update file twice to get into CWM recovery. I did the Factory Wipe, Wipe Data, & Wipe Dalvik Cache process. Loaded cm-10-20120823.1414-UNOFFICIAL-vibrantmtd which I had on my phone once before and when starting it said my IMEI was different. No biggie, went back to stock. Tested the phone, IMEI was back to normal.
I then did the update to root only, booted the phone, downloaded Titanium Backup Pro since I've been able to restore my IMEI before while using it, tried to use it and was told I wasn't rooted.
I then downloaded and renamed recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vibrant to update.zip. I ran the update file twice to get into CWM recovery. I did the Factory Wipe, Wipe Data, & Wipe Dalvik Cache process. Loaded cm-10-20120823.1414-UNOFFICIAL-vibrantmtd again on my phone and when starting it said my IMEI was different.
Can someone tell me what is going wrong? Recovery also seems to be reverting back to stock recovery when I go into it.
Used SOC. Loaded RemICS, no IMEI change occured. FIXED!!!!!!
Could it be that I need to first install CM7 before the CM10? That wouldn't explain the phone reverting back to stock recovery though.

Galaxy S3 crazy boot loop

hi everybody.
my phone is booting every time. with odin i installed already twrp and cwm. with twrp I can just see the logo and then the phone is booting again. with cwm, i am able to see the menu but when i try to wipe the phone, the phone starts to boot again.
i installed cyanogenmod via adb but the phone is not starting android.
the last chance i have is to hope that someone of you have a solution.
i uploaded a video to show you what i mean.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM?
yes. but it is still in the loop.
Flashing in Odin was successful?
After flashing the stock ROM, did you perform a factory wipe before booting for the first time?
thats not possible. i can boot to the clockworkmod recovery but if i choose the option "wipe data/factory reset" the recovery will be closed and the smartphone boots again and open the recovery.
1, download mode and flash an official stock rom (one package) via odin. Make sure it is for your device specifically.
2, Boot to official stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If the phone reboots after this you need to be prepared to key combo to download mode BEFORE it boots android.
3, Flash the official stock rom again.
All remnants of any previous roms will be gone and you should have a booting phone.
Beamed in by telepathy.
It worked with the stock recovery. Now I was able to install cyanogenmod. Thank you very much!!!
