Well I got root via jcase method, but haven't unlocked bootloader, which means no cwm
So what all should I be careful of?
I know back on the Optimus V that If you root you can no longer factory reset, is that the same case here?

You can install CWM recovery without having an unlocked bootloader.
Factory resets will go fine as long as all pre-installed system apps/bloatware are still intact.
Thanks I just installed cwm a few min ago, as for bloatware imma backup via Titanium Backup.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but all I would have to do is restore all bloat before I fact reset. (I shouldn't have to anytime soon)

A better option is to use the disable bloat script. It is located at /system/etc/disable_tmus_packages.sh. You can read about it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114222 Just use s-manager to run it at boot, and you can still factory reset and get OTA no problem.

Do you want Live Wallpapers (animations) or just the regular ones? Or any? xD
If I update a system app and then integrate it into system will factory reset still work?

Hi,
I'd like to reset my rooted Optimus to factory settings.
If I reset, do I loose superuser and have to perform rooting again or will my phone still be rooted but loose superuser in app? In this case, how can I install superuser again?
What if I update its Froyo 2.2.1 to 2.2.2?
Thanks.
Yes you loose your root. And you will have to root it again with the same procedures u rooted before.

No he doesn't. If He rooted his phone,but He didn't install a custom recovery and if He does an hard reset with that 3-keys combo you won't lose root,because Superuser.apk was installed in /system/app.

Yeah in no case you will lose root. I myself had factory reset my phone even on stock froyo rom, and then went to recovery and made a nandroid backup and uploaded for some users.

Thats great I dont know about it
Do not use factory reset if you have Clockwork Mod recovery. Not recommended.
Actually, if you have a recovery installed, reset your phone via recovery by wiping data, system, cache etc.
Cheers!
(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?

Yes! Thank you for pointing me there, I found that a little bit ago and tried it a couple of times, unfortunately, the bootloader doesn't seem to be broken, so this didn't help me.
I really wish Samsung had the OEM ROM out!

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.
Can't you edit the prop build on your recovery and flash it back?

quite possibly, but the recovery was made from the messed up/non-working version, so I'm not sure if that works or not... any thoughts?
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.
*warning*
Some might deny your request because certain personal information being stored in a nandroid such as gmail accounts, contacts,passwords, ect.

Yes! Thanks! This is the route that we're moving forward on in the androidcentral forums. We're thinking a FACTORY RESET/CACHE/DALVIK WIPE usin CWM will help to remove personal info as best as possible for any kind soul who does this.
I'm pretty sure someone will help you. I would have if i had a gs3(waiting for local stores to get them). I hope everything go well for you.
Come to think of it, couldn't you just factory reset your phone and it will be stock again?

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.

Ok, just tried that (wipe data/factory reset), same behavior unfortunately...
How about unrooting ?
Using this method
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/team-epics-un-root-from-recovery.html?m=1
then going to stock recovery.
Before doing any of this first try using the nandroid somebody might provide for you.

Well if he factory reset and erased the system he has no ROM to reset back to?
Hopefully a stock ROM is upped soon.
Sucks i don't have my phone yet else i would send you a nand backup of a clean install

I would think so.
I am stuck on the Sony blue animation screen after installing a task killer app. It just hangs there. I can get into recovery, however.
I am trying to reflash my stock firmware to remedy the problem as it seems something got corrupted ( I was rooted when this happened). I am in recovery and am trying to flash the latest "US" update to my tab but I am getting the following error."Erohibed update as result of checking version or base sku"
What do I need to do to reflash and get back to stock? I do not have adb access...
Try factory reset. You will lose data and maybe root

By factory reset, do you mean in recovery? I tried that and for some reason it did not work...
I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.

Update won't work without the bloatware installed. If you are rooted then don't forget to install voodoo ota rootkeeper. Then you go inside the app and hit the protect root button before the update.

SO? My bootloader is locked too and I still have custom recovery. Listen I'm working on my update.zip file that will transfer all system apps via cwm. If you have root then get the l9 recovery installer 1.5 from Artas182x from here.
EDIT: Ok here is my update.zip link. Just install the zip in cwm and you should be good to go.

This update bootlooped my device. I wiped and reset my device no avail.
Really, boot looped? Weird, didn't encounter that problem before. Had it to where it would not boot, but never boot loop. Look go here to get s rooted cwm ROM and flash it. But it will reset your phone.
