here's a tutorial on how to do it, but keep in mind that it's a factory restore. You'll lose root and other important info, you'll be back on the factory settings.

Won't really lose important info unless you need to data wipe to stop a boot loop
Sbf itself doesn't wipe data...just puts the system back to stock factory condition....
Most of time you will need to wipe data after sbf tho which of course wipes ya clean.....remember ....front to back (couldn't resist lol)

You know, I probably should've asked the op if he was able to get into the regular recovery and just doing a data wipe worked before doing a SBF.
I completely forgot to mention that.

I would have suggested sbf also

Always had to sbf AND data wipe to get back

The worst I've had happen to me is getting stuck in a bootloop. I seriously freaked out and thought I seriously damaged my phone!! I just did a data wipe and all was good.
On a side note, the DX2 is actually my first smartphone. I originally got it out of desperation due to losing my old phone. And I always liked the look of the DX. The phone I had before was a LG enV2 on its last legs. LOL

Maybe a stupid question, searched the forums and couldnt really find a solid answer. Just flashed the team whiskey Bionix Fusion 1.1 on my Samsung Vibrant, with great success. Everything is working fine except my battery life is not that great. It seems i am having the same issue i had before with the radio constantly searching/ transferring data. I fixed it by doing a factory reset and my battery life improved ten fold (and it was. My question is, Can i do a factory reset with a custom rom with no ill effects? Some have said it will end up in a constant boot loop. Others say it will be fine. I want a solid answer, before i try it. I am new to the whole rooting, custom rom thing. and really dont want to go through the whole odin thing, as i am not familiar with it yet.
Thanks IN advance for your help!!
I know when I did a factory reset on a custom rom I had to do it through cw recovery. I tried to do it twice through settings (just to see if it was a fluke or not) and was in a fc loop both times. So I think cw recovery is safe for a reset but doing it through settings is not. Maybe it was just my phone though

How do I do it through cw recovery? Open cwrecove and have it boot into recovery, then once in recovery do the factory reset. Our is there a different way..sorry for the stupid question just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Yea there should be an option for a reset there

Let me know how it goes.
Just curious about the results.
Although I've never did it for the Vibrant, its generally not a good idea (it completely bricked my last phone because I messed with the kernel and didn't understand what I was doing when I did a factory reset.) Just flash back to stock with ODIN instead.

Nowhere in the instructions does it say wipe the battery stats.
i was having the battery issue before with stock everything, and wiped the battery stats with no luck. The only thing that worked was the factory reset
Did the factory reset through CW recovery, everything works well! Making sure everything works, and so far so good.

Ah, sorry. It was in the Install instructions for the regular Bionix (although it applies for Fusion too, I'll try and get Viral to change that). XDA Bionix link.
edit: Just got confirmation that it's always good to wipe the battery stats whenever you flash a new ROM.

Thanks, Ill definitley keep that in mind next i flash a rom.
Apparently the factory reset didnt work. It seemed as though it is back to doing the same thing as before (seems to constantly transferring data battery)
Battery life is horrible ( dropped 25% with in an hour) and the back of the phone is very warm to the touch.
will the Flashable JI2 Modem fix this issue? if not can i just reflash fusion or should i odin back to stock and then back to fusion.
One thing i did read after i flashed this rom was to pull sim and sd card before flashing (which i didnt do) Could this be the reason for the radio issues?
Thanks again for all of your help!
I bricked mine.
I downloaded a custom rom onto my Galaxy S GT-I9000, but I really didn't know what I was doing, so I did a factory reset via settings, I wanted to go back.
BUT:
It got bricked, it got stuck on the samsung galaxy s screen forever.
One explanation would be, that when installing a custom rom, it tells you to format all partitions on the device. So I guess that the backup of the stock rom, were gone, so it didn't have anything to restore to.
can anyone tell me why I get a bootloop condition every time i do a factory reset in CWM?
I have to RSD back to 1.26 every time I do a factory reset

Well if you're on Bell I don't think flashing to 1.26 would work because it's an AT&T SBF. I may be wrong, but that could be what's causing your bootloop. If you're on Bell, I would suggest flashing 2.1.1, and then installing CWM over that. That's what I have and it's been flawless. Hope this helps.

Its an unlocked ATT phone. Guess I should have stated that. I have no problem installing anything. Just finished the whole process going from 1.26->1.57->1.83->GINGERBREAK->CWM->webtop mod->gingerblur->steelbue theme. Lol. I wanted to know about the hard reset because I flashed a 1.83 sbf that didn't wipe. I didn't want to go all the way back to 1.26. I needed to be odexed to install the webtop mod.
Anyway, its all done now after a couple hours. Just wanted to know why does a hard reset in cwm always put me in a bootloop

Are you doing a factory reset before or after you install gingerblur? I've read that doing a factory reset before you install gingerblur can cause a bootloop.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
After.... I read that too. So I did wipe right after flashing gingerblur without rebooting first. It would boot right to homescreen but after 5 or 6 seconds it dies and boots again. Cwm is unable to load after that point. Red is the only way out

Back up your apps on Titanium...then wipe data/factory reset go through rooting and installing cwm after you run through all the updates.

"CWM backup, sbf, update, root, install cwm and restore backup"
why would you update to only then restore pre update?
factory reset is very misleading, it only applies to a user that never rooted or messed with their system. all it does is wipe cache/data/and dalvik. the reason why you cant update is one because you have cwm, 2 because im banking on you have missing /system/app stuff. which then fails the md5 hash check of the update.zip. i dont know what kind of issues your having or running into with sbf. but that is the only way to get back to stock.

Any ways - have you tried a different USB Port and a different Cable?
I am assuming you are on windows? - could be a bad assumption but proably not.
Did you install the latest drivers?
Have the latest RSD?
Tried another copy of the SBF file? - I had one that didn't quite work right in a droid x once, bad download.

Wow, are you serious? Hmm..I'm not sure what the problem might be. Seriously, you need to start from scratch somehow...so there are 2 ways you can wipe data/reset:
1) Through CWM Recovery
2) Through Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset
Try either way first. When you tried to reset, what happened? Can you provide some details as to the Settings>About Phone? Anything for us to go on to help?
Let me know how it works out for you!

the person who started mopho fan club ditched the phone after 2days
(sorry to the other thread owner as I didn't realize I was in the i9300 forum when I posted my reply asking for similar help)
*** this is a repost from the post I made on androidcentral, with a suggestion made by dmmarck over there ***
Ok, yes it seems I made a mistake and I'm new to this, so apologies. But I tried going in and changing build.prop (specifically ro.camera.sound.forced=0 to get the camera to go quiet when the phone was set to silent) and when I rewrote the file into the system, I ended up with a phone that won't go past the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' screen into the Sprint boot. I searched around and found that my SBF might be trashed, but at this point I'm unsure as to how to get it reloaded properly.
I am able to get into the recovery (up volume, home button, power button), and may have made a further mistake by formatting the /system. Unfortunately, I didn't make a backup using that utility until AFTER the build.prop problem, so even though I tried to recover using the recovery I made (after the problem), it is understandably not working.
Am I totally screwed or is there a way to get me back? Any help is greatly appreciated.
// dmmarck and paul627g over on androidcentral think if I can get a good samaritan to help me by posting a nandroid backup of their stock L710 setup, I should be able to recover without issues, would anyone here be able to help me?

hey now, I appreciate what it takes to get to a fix, but I am in a bit of a pickle with this being my only phone and I am new to Android, so what may be a fix is still an exciting bit of news.
I appreciate that this is not the same as an OEM ROM now (with help from here and from android central), so I'm learning. I also understand that this is a problem that I caused by not doing my basic backups as I would any other software work, so please don't misunderstand and think that I am not understanding of what the timeline realistically will be to get to a fix.

I have a solution for you. Ask someone who has a GS3 to make a nandroid, copy it to your sd card and flash it. Viola you should have everything back to normal.

By going into stock recovery mode you can factory reset it. It's the same steps to get into CWM.
And if all else fail, root your phone using the odin method by getting into download mode, you'll have CWM recovery and you can factory reset using that.

hmm, I think I'm missing something because I don't have the factory recovery now that CWM is installed (or am I incorrect here?). And I'm not sure if I can get back to the factory reset options now in the state that I'm in.
As far as the odin method, I am already rooted, I'm not sure how I can use CWM recovery to factory reset at that point..
Apologies again as I am new to android and trying to learn! I appreciate you're help!
Yes, you don't have stock recovery because you're rooted. And if you're able to get into CWM you should be able to get your phone back to normal.
In CWM there's a option to wipe data(factory reset), but wiping data to cure your problem is experimental meaning idk what might happen when/if you do.

then going to stock recovery.

Hi! I've searched on and off this forum, my husband and I are on the road all week and his phone had been rooted over a year ago by myself, no splashy roms and no problems. His screen froze so he booted, now stuck in bootloop. I have gone into recovrry but its not working. I'm hesitant to wipe data without computer access. He is active military and needs his phone.

If you can't get out of the boot loop without wiping data or sbf'ing there's nothing you can do but that. If you are in cwr you can try wiping delvik and cache but if not wiping data couldn't hurt since you'll lose everything doing an sbf anyway. Hope this helps
