This is obviously stretching, but would a factory reset roll me back to 1.26?
Nope. Your going to have to flashback... It's not to hard to do. Check forum for directions
Good Luck

How do I do a full factory wipe of my phone? I know you can go into privacy and do a factory reset but that is for data only isn't it? I want to make the phone how it came in the box. I was rooted and had the lag fix installed but I have undone both in preparation for this. Thanks.

You will have to flash it with odin to get back to full stock. why do you need it back to stock?
You can do a "factory format" not a factory reset, and this will erase all data and restore to factory settings. Download my service menu program in my signature to do this. Otherwise do what the last poster did and reflash with odin.
phone seems slower in general than when I got it a few weeks ago, wondering if I messed something up playing with it. also I have a lot of fails when texting. just want to get it back like it came then start over.

If it was me I would do a Clockwork recovery of the stock rom. Im a little afraid of Odin due to all the bricks I have seen on the forums involving Odin (plus im on a Mac). If you are not returning it to Tmobile you could also try one of the roms that are posted in the forums. I would recomend Bionix or Frankin-twiz. Both devs are spot on with thier roms.
Factory Format Code is *2767*3855#

Just do a factory format, all the other methods listed are complicated
Go to dialer and dial in:
*2767*3855#
thats it, it will format your device and set it back to factory.
you can do a soft reset by dialing in
*#*#7780#*#*

tried that it erases all your data and settings but doesn't restore anything you have removed. will most likely use clockwork then.
HI all.
I have Simply Honey 2.8 Rom on my phone and have had this for the last few months.
I wanted to do a hard reset (since my phone seems to be laggy and force closing more often)
When the phone boots up after a hard reset, will it boot up with the custom ROM or with stock?
Is there anything else i need to make sure to do, before i hard reset?
Thanks so much,
riskaa
Referring to your use of the phrase "hard reset", in the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
If what you meant is a factory reset, then the answer is it'll boot up with your custom ROM. If you really mean "hard reset", then uh... turn your phone back on and everything will be as it was when you turned it off.
I did mean factory reset - thank you.
Good to know it will boot up with my custom ROM. That's what I was hoping.
Thank you,
When is it recommendet to do an factory reset after updating?
If I even do an update for example from V54 to V54 do you think I should do an factory reset anyway?

A factory reset is usually necessary when flashing a new rom (Say Stock 2.1 > Simply Honey). However, if you're only updating a rom (Say Simply Honey v2.7 > Simply Honey v2.8) then you don't have to do a factory reset.
It's on 2.3.6 only rooted not unlocked bootloader. Would I have to unroot it or could I just factory reset it.
You would have to unroot it.

You DO NOT have to unroot to do a factory reset I assure you. I did one recently to sell my Atrix, it was on CM7. Boardumb is incorrect.
Thanks so I just reset via settings rite

That's right. Depending on the situation (if you want to restore data back to the phone) you should do backups first, like TiBu and the like. If you are planning on selling it, don't forget to wipe the external SDcard too. Or better yet don't sell the SDcard with the phone, I kept mine.
Thanks so much I was nervous because I've heard people brick phones when resetting on a root
So I've lurked around for a little bit, and think this community is awesome. Hopefully, you guys/gals can lend me a hand.
I just got a Galaxy S5 today, so I'm giving my XT910 to the GF. Went through phone settings, did a factory reset including internal data.
Booted up, and "Unfortunately, Setup has stopped" click okay, but the message returns, ad infinitum. So I went through the Recovery mode and did a factory reset that way. Setup still won't work when booting the phone and I can't seem to get past it.
It was on stock JB before. I had previously rooted it but have successfully done a factory reset and did not root it again since (assuming the factory reset removed the rooting process). North American phone/firmware.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Fixed it!
I was able to reflash an official ROM from sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10 using EternityProjects RSD flash tool...
Hi can anyone help, can't unlock my phone keep getting the following:-
Unfortunately, com.android.keyguard has stopped
Would like to know if there's any other way than perform a factory reset?
Thanks
Factory reset is the first step, next would be flash firmware with Odin then factory reset again.
Usual suspects are mods to the framework or corrupt files/settings.
