I rooted the OTA 2.2 and have been removing and swapping a few apks, if I do a factory data reset, would it still be rooted? Also would it bring back the bloatware I removed? Would it affect that I removed all that Verizon crap?
Thanks.

I already legally have my phones esn on MetroPCS but if I fully wipe it when I root or put a new rom on it, the settings revert back to Verizon. What I have learned is if I have the prl (mine is 2004), I can flash it by dailing ##prl. After that, then what?
Thanks -nomorefear
What ROM did you flash? I've put many on mine and it stays on MetroPCS, the PRL should not be changing. You will have to get web, mms and apps working again after a flash though.
I have tainted tenzo and by wipe I mean dalvik as well, which is why the metroflash goes back to vzw

I wiped that earlier before flashing Tazz Froyo and Metro still worked at first boot.

Yes, wiping the phone just clears out the saved settings/apps/etc in the ROM, it does not touch the area's that save the PRL information for your carrier. You're stressing over nothing. You would have to reprogram the phone for another carrier in order to lose the Metro PCS settings.
Cool, thanks mate!

I have used lots of different ROMs with Metro, using Wipe Factory and Wipe Dalvik. Shouldnt mess up the MetroFlash.
Now what I dont know is if you still retain settings after you do a hard reset / factory restore from the built in recovery

Are you sure about that? You should be able to make calls. You will have to redo the internet and MMS after a wipe. Also, you will need to use a Verizon based ROM (SenseUI) if you want MMS to work.
Noob question but is there anyway I can unlock my phone without wiping all the data off?
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA App
You could root first then use titanium backup to save everything (apps, bookmarks) then go about unlocking. You will have to enter your emails, logins, etc but the data from all apps can be restored again.
Please read more into the unlock process as I believe its tied to the radio so you may lose 4G. I believe there's a way to still keep 4G but I'm not taking that chance. Good luck

Same problem with mine. I unrooted prior to this update. Tried 3 times on 4g, 3g and Wi-Fi. Any thoughts on this?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Intrepid, in your case, have you disabled any system apps? Re-enable them and try again.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
No apps have been disabled. Its pretty much stock.

Try a factory reset first....That will make sure you're bone stock.
Thanks. Ill give that a shot in a few minutes.

Accepted the update this morning... went smoothly. Took forever to download though, think the servers were slammed with everybody doing the same thing. I am bone stock, for now.

Gets about half way through install.....Triangle and android on screen. Then it reboots and says update failed. Any ideas how to fix this?

same issue here, trying hard reboot!
will keep you posted
Just curious. If you are having this problem, did you perform your download over 4G or WiFi? I have no clue about what is causing this problem, but if you were on 4G perhaps you can try downloading again using WiFi (or visa-versa)? Yes, I know this shouldn't matter. But it is something to try.
I was downloading through wifi.

I just did a factory reset including internal media and the SD card, downloaded the update and tried to install but got the triangle and android on the screen about halfway through. Any thoughts?
Did a hard reset, wiped user data and that seemed to do it
If you are rooted, uninstall bootstrap or safestrap if you have those. For me safestrap was breaking the update. Thxkbai!
Just did another hard reset with no luck getting through the update. Willing to entertain any suggestions...
How far do you get?

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but if you keep failing to install the OTA pushed to your phone, try flashing the file from the root of your SD card.
About a quarter of the way through. It showed a triangle with the android on the screen when it stopped.
Please can someone tell me how to re-root an at&t lg optimus g e970.
Nothing has been changed on the phone yet except for it being rooted via;
RootOptimusG-English software.
My phone is acting up and need to send it back to the eBay seller.
Through the SuperSU app there is an option to do a full unroot. After that just do a factory reset though the system settings. That should work, although I have never tried it.

Try this first and if that doesn't work, just LGNPST back to stock
My EVO 4G LTE is rooted and running a stock ROM. I have TWRP installed also.
I need to wipe all of my personal info, but I want to double check the best process to make sure I don't lose root or screw anything up!
Do I simply reboot into recovery and select factory wipe? Do I wipe all caches and internal memory first?
Thanks

Factory reset should be good enough and would be like getting a brand new phone.

From a Sense ROM, use dialer code ##786#, select menu, then reset. If you're selling it with an SD card, just format the card and be done with it.
