Hey ,I've just got a i9100 from my father , it has stock rom 4.0.3 ,unrooted of course ,but it has so many apps installed on it ,So I wanna format it and then Factory reset it.
The thing is after doing some research I read that doing Factory reset kills the internal memory ,and leads to soft ,or hard brick.
Does this only happen when I reset from recovery ? or even when resetting from the settings menu?
And If it's so ,How can I reset it without changing the rom ,or rooting? cuz I don't intend to root it for a while.
Thanks in advance

Hmm hard to say, can't find any advice about that on google. For me it looks like full wipe shouldn't be done.
You can download emmc brick bug check from play store first and test if you have this bug. If no I guess you can flash.
If yes I'd suggest you to flash another kernel anyway, for safety reasons, later you can deactivate super user rights
Rooting can possibly easy be done with framaroot here on xda.
Good luck :thumbup:

Well I don't know, I'll search some more on google and see if I can find something. I'll tell u when finding something.
Till then you'd avoid resetting till we have more information.
Maybe somebody else knows more and will reply soon.

I noticed that dialing a few contacts gives these type of errors. Can you give any solution for this without being reset. If flashing or reset is compulsory then how to backup and reinstall stock rom. Please tell me the steps involved. And one more, where can i get the stock rom?

I'm hesitant right now, cause I might just assume that someone might have stolen a phone and now asks for how to unlock it. But anyways, there was just a piece of information on cracking pattern-lock on xda. Google might help you find it.

For other person who talk about spy.

If the phone has usb-debugging on. You can use adb to delete the pattern. How to do it was on news (of xda) a while ago. You should be able to find to find it from there.

if you flash stock rom without wipe data factory reset , your data'll save and the pattern lock is still the same.
if you wipe it, you will lose your data(but files in storage still the same if doesn't format) at all.

Hi
I've unrooted my phone because I'm missing SkyGo and also couldn't get updates easily via Kies. Titanium Backup won't even show as an icon, SuperSU gives an error when starting and ROM Toolbox says root access is required. All of this would confirm to me that my phone is not rooted and in addition the phone's status is 'normal'.
So why does SkyGo still tell me my phone is rooted and it won't support rooted devices?
Also, when I connect to KIES to look for updates, why does it tell me my firmware is not supported?
I downloaded stock 4.1.2 ROM from SAMOBILE and the build number is JZO54K.I9300XXEMA1. Baseband version is I9300XXELLA.
Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks, Paul

Thanks for such a speedy response. Being a bit of a novice at all of this, will I lose any data or settings if I factory reset? Do I do this by holding down vol up, home and power or through "Back up and reset" in settings?

A factory reset after flashing stock firmware is the only thing (if I understand correctly ) you can do.

What about Skys own forum ???
jje
I suspect Sky won't help you Unfortunately.
The reason they do not allow access from rooted phones is from a security point of view. .
It is much easier on a rooted phone to find ways of recording from the app etc and sky obviously won't allow that .
So I guess your decision comes down to what is more important to you. ..
The ability to watch Sky Go?
Or the functionality and features of a rooted phone.
I personally chose the latter. ..
There are plenty of ways to skin a fish

Hi
I bought a phone from everbuy:

The model of this phone is A3LGi6, the problem is, when I put a sim card, after insert the pin code, I get the error "Com.Android.Phone has stopped unexpectedly problem", and doesn't disappear after I click to close, appears again and again...
What I already did:
- Factory reset
But didn't solve nothing, I hope somebody can help me with this.
Thank you very much

There is a software called One Click Pattern Unlock. Google it and download.
I have used it before. It works without root.
WARNING it damages lock.
So after you reset lock, immediately backup all data (use MyBackup Free or Pro)
and install stock ROM. (I flashed with Odin, but you can try factory reset AFTER backup.)
