Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone would shead some light onto a question I have spent a few days searching for on Google.
I have rooted my Xperia Neo (2.3.4) Using the Zergrush Runme.bar tool exploit and am now in need of factory resetting my phone to clear some problems.
The problem is, I don't know the exact way I should go about it and what problems which might incur. Here are my thoughts:
- Factory reset using privacy settings menu
- Unroot phone then do factory reset
What will happen?
Thanks everyone.
1st try Factory reset using Privacy setting menu
if it didn't help then try it with SUES,
Can you tell me, whats the problem you're facing ?

I'm worried about factory resetting if it might brick it.
The problems I'm having include sync errors, occasional resets and freezes and the homescreen being irrisponsive sometimes.
Thanks for the help buddy.

Then I'd try flashtool or SEUS immediately. Just to be sure.

I don't get it, How come factory reset will brick your phone ?
I just did it to check, and everything is working fine.
I recommend it before SEUS update!
Good luck

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.
Hi guys,
i really need help with my galaxy player 4.0. I have no idea what is wrong with it but mostly all of the apps are closing unexpectidly. I tried:crying: to do everything; facory reset and tried to clear data of everything but nothing works. After the factory reset it said factory reset complete but when turned it back on, its back to the same issues. I tried reseting it s many times but nothing is working. Also if i delete these stuff from my computer and unconect it, nothing changes and when i connect it again, everything comes back magically.
it will be great help if wnyone can give me a solutuon. Please

Hi, I have an SM-J500FN and apps are randomly crashing. I have tried a factory reset and even an Odin reflash, nothing helps. It even happens on the setup screen when I factory reset the phone. I'm on android 6.0.1 not rooted. Has anyone had this issue and knows how to fix it?

Perhaps you have contracted a nasty virus from the FB video? Do you have any anti-virus or anti-malware app installed?
I did a full wipe and factory reset

If the problem still continues after doing this, then there are one of two possibilities:
1. There are still hidden things lurking around. In this case you will need to "format data" (i.e., format the data partition). You will lose all the contents of your internal SD - but you would also get rid of the problem.
2. You have a hardware problem. In this case, you will need to claim on the warranty, or return the phone.
Okey what u mean by formating the data partion

Have you tried clearing the cache and data of the camera app? Not sure what to suggest other than trying a factory reset otherwise. (make sure to back your data up first though)

Hi
Thanks for your response. I have cleared the data and cache multiple times but no help. I am trying to avoid the factory reset as it my wife's phone and she will get my S10+ in couple of weeks once I get my S20 Ultra. Will reset the phone that time. Want to know if I am the only one facing this issue.
Thanks David

It worked fine for me on that build. You could try wiping the cache in recovery (when phone is off, hold the power, Bixby and volume up buttons at the same time until you see a blue screen, wait about 20 seconds and recovery options will show)
I have a similar problem.
Selfie camera and iris scanner not work.
Factory reset didn't work. I think the camera is gone
