How do I perform a complete factory reset....All data wiped? Is it possible? I've searched and can't find the answer.
I should add...I'm having a helluva time with random reboots and I'm trying everything before returning the phone. (I have a zagg installed)
The factory reset under Settings -> SD & phone storage doesn't wipe the data?
If not, you can totally power off the phone (pull the battery), and hold volume- while you power it back on, that should get you the recovery menu. There is a factory reset option in there. If you want to totally restore to stock, you can download the original SD card contents in the development section here and then format the sd card and put the original content back on.
Open up your dialer, hit ##786#, then put your msl in, then select menu, then select restore. Then it will reboot.. This will completely restore everything, including data, settings, it will wipe everything.

I go right into Hboot to factory reset. (Phone off)Hold Vol down & press Power. You'll see the option. Use your volume key to select & press power. BOOM!
Or you can use the above suggestions
Thanks guys...I tried the hboot method 1 time b4 and my data remained....all downloaded w/w and everything. But this time it worked perfectly. Let's see if this solves my rebooting problem. I just installed that 20 dollar damned zagg screen protector. I really appreciate all of the quick responses.

Depending on where you bought the Zagg, you can take it off and have it re-installed for pretty cheap usually.

I know they do reinstalls if you aren't satisfied. Did they install it there when you bought it?
Yup, they installed it.

When setting up your phone, uncheck allow Google to back up your data. Also, go into settings>privacy>uncheck back up my settings.

EDIT: Well just found out it is limited to a short.....Which is around 32 seconds.... So 32 seconds is the max you will have.
FILES AVAILABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.
Ok after going through a lot of lines of code and i mean a lot, I give you all
Extended Soft Key Backlight (15 seconds to be exact)
If using a theme with a white status/notification bar (bubby's rom) then i would wait till i make this custom for it... This will give you white text in the status/notification bar.
I am using JT's clean rom and it works fine.
If something happens to your phone.... NOT MY FAULT
Now for the release
1. MAKE A BACKUP (JUST IN CASE)
2. INSTALL THE MOD OF YOUR CHOICE (10 SECONDS,15 SECONDS, OR 32 SECONDS (WHICH IS MAX)) WITH THE "APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP" OPTION IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
3. WIPE DALVIK CACHE IN THE "ADVANCED" MENU IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. IF YOU DO NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE YOU WILL NOT GET THE UPDATE
4. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FASCINATE THAT HAS 15 SECONDS OF SOFT KEY BACKLIGHT!
5. It will take awhile to boot (1-2 mins.), so don't be worried
I plan on adding different versions of this, 10 seconds, and a really long time one... If I get enough requests.
Time to get some sleep now.

no i had to edit the services.jar file. I was trying to do the source files but JT told me he thought it had to do with the services.jar file.... He's always right.
I went through 100+ files and a bunch of code (in HEX) to get it working.

Not sure... I can try to take a look. What would you want it changed to?
this won't affect BLN will it?
Broken download link.
Wife will be super excited when I get home and flash this on her phone.
Tying this to the screen backlight would be clutch, but you can always flash a matching softkey timeout to your preferred backlight setting, assuming multiple durations are made available
awesome, fantastic work!

this is a lame question, but am I supposed to rename the zip at all? I transferred to the SD card, ran the sd update.zip in clockwork recovery, wiped dalvik cache, and it's still timing out every 3-4 seconds.

This is not a complete wipe or reset, is their a dial-er code like the note 1? The "Factory Reset" dose just about nothing, proven by the app "File Manager". If you do a factory rest after it loads up and you finish the set up, go to the play store and download the free app File manager, open it and click the menu icon (bottom left) and click storage analyses, and WA-LA you will see all your old apps, and any pictures saved in the phones storage! I would hope their is a real hard reset like in the note 1s, dialer code. Can anyone please help!
Go to settings > storage > Format USB storage and everything stored on your internal memory will be gone.

It is better for a newb to search and post on an older thread than start a new one. Right? Info is just as good today as it was six months ago. And it seems he wanted help and was not giving it out of nowhere. Why respond in a thread if you are not even intending to help but just flame?

Sorry for disturb you all with my problem if you listen before. Last night I intented to reinstall the AOKP V40 in my phone and while was running the restore from Titaniun, I had the crazy idea to stop the process. The phone go to black screen with soft and down continous flashes and have not access to any option like Recovery or Download to make something to reflash or make working the damm phone.
Any suggestions__ thanks a lot for your helps
Did you try the 3 button method?

Hey Dude, sorry for my explanation. I reinstalled trought CWM. When I intented to restore my apps, make the mistake to interrup the process. The phone gone to Black screen. That my point. At this time I partially solve the problem. I unroot the phone, Root again and install CWM 5.0.2.3 but has not activate the options to reinstall Kernel, Rom o whatever. Everytime I intent to applly the options, the screen go to a figuro of CW and nothing more.
Thanks friend. I just make this. Please read my recent coment to know my situation.
OK. That makes more sense. But I'm not sure if you need help? The only thing I can think Titanium would cause the phone to go to a black screen is if you were restoring system apps, which you should never do. Only install "missing apps and data" with Titanium Backup.
There's your problem you're using an ancient version of cwm and you have to use the home button and not the power button to select, smh read this has been answered many times
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, so have you tried starting from square one? Use Odin to return to stock and then make your way to whatever you want to do from there. And just a word to the wise, if you ever stop titanium while its restoring an app, you can just kill the app and nothing will be worse for wear

Nick has answered his question. Please stop telling the Guy to flash completely back to stock or use Odin for this or that, if u don't know the answer, its best not to say anything sometimes. That way we don't screw someone up even more.

Thanks soo much you all guys for the help. Sorry for my english when I intent to explain my problem. Certainly, it´s not my first problem with the phone. Last time I bricked the phone and take the action to unroot and install the stock kernel. Later Rooted and feel the same that actually do. Later, touching the buttons activated the CWM and solve the problem, but not remember which one of the is..
I will test again with your recomendations. Thanks again for your help.
Finnaly and after insist to open the phone under Download Mode, it was open and install the recent CWMR and reboot. Restart normally . For precaution, wipes, and reflash the ROM and Google apps. I will reinstall my apps manually (Sure)
Thanks again to you all for your help.
The home key only works on the lock screen. It does not work at any other time. This randomly happened last night and I can't seem to find the problem. Any advice other than backing up and resetting my phone?

My fiance can't access the play store on her P769. I forget what the error is, but she used to be able to access it. Her date and time is correct. It's rooted, but with the stock rom and kernel (I think the software version is P76920H).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Try to erase play store cache in settings. If it wouldn't help try to delete google account, and login again.

Rooted?
Go to Root Browser and navigate to System -> Etc, and find the "hosts" file. Delete it and reboot. That should fix it. You're welcome.

I haven't spent any time with her phone over the past month, but I'm working on it today. Since I first wrote, it lost it's ability to access data over the cell network, and won't connect to many wifi networks, either. I cleared data for Play Store and Play Services. I get a notification that it needs to update Play Services, but when I click on that, it goes to Play Store and says "No connection - Retry".
I want to wipe the phone and start new with a fresh ROM, but I can't remember how to reboot to Recovery. Holding volume-down while it powers up doesn't get me into Recovery. I'm not having much luck with Google on that, either.

Might have to do a factory reset and reroot it. I forgot the method on doing a factory reset. Something about holding a lot of buttons down.. check around, someone will tell you.

Just in case you haven't got it figured out yet. Power off phone. Turn back on and wait for the Lg logo to come on and when the bottom back lights start blinking hold the - volume button and it will go to recovery

Thanks! I didn't figure that out, but I managed to fix her phone (including wi-fi/data and Play Store) by re-flashing the stock ROM with the LGST tool. I remembered holding volume-down when powering up the phone from my HTC phones, but I guess you hold volume-down at a different point in the boot process with LG phones.
