I have an issue with my Desire X I tried to put a different rom on using TWCP but now I cannot do a factory reset and when I tried to get to boot loader I just get TWCP. I can get into the phone but its not working properly.
Is there a way I can factory stock reset it all please, I will need idiot steps to do this as I am new to all this.
Sorry
Did you flashed the TWRP for your device? Because if you have ICS bootloader, the JB recovery won't work. And if you have JB bl, the ICS version won't work, too. Which bootloader version you have?
Anyway, if you can boot into the system, enter the settings and somwhere between the settings you can find a factory reset option. I don't know, under which menu, because it's different in every Android version. But serch for it in the settings, and you will find it. If you want just a factory reset, it will be enough. But if you want to install a custom rom or a mod, you will need a 100% working recovery.

Ok so i have rooted and used cwm to make a backup of my stock from which is on Three UK carrier.
Then i put a custom rom on the phone and used it for a while but decided to go back to stock, but when i done the recovery all i get is constant boot loop just after the three logo. It never gets to to lockscreen.
I have done the usual things like wiping all the cache before booting but it wont work.
Can anyone help and if not does anyone know where i can find the stock rom for my phone.
Thanks.
Just do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu.

Hello all, could use some help here.
I'm trying to restore my Note to the factory ROM and I'm running into an issue.
Fyi, I had the latest Paranoid JB Rom from Oct 13.
I followed the proceedures outlined in the forums (used ODIN to restore the default "attstockrom") and after that restore the phone would loop rebooting into ATT rethink possible animation screen.
I found and downloaded the latest 4.04 rom for the phone (I717UCLF6) and rebooted. Now it just hangs at the "ATT Rethink possible" graphic (no animation, no loop).
Odin does see the device fine so I can reflash again with no problems if I need to. I'm thinking of trying the I717UCLA1 version from Jan to see if that works but I'm hoping I can get some better advice before I do something that might cause more permanent problems.
Any advice on how to get back to stock ICS (or even JB) and get the phone working again?
Thanks!
Try doing a factory data/cache wipe from Recovery.
I flashed the stock rom via ODIN. There is no factory data/cache wipe since there's no custom recovery.
Are you suggesting flashing CWM/TWRP on the phone now then doing that?
Houston we have liftoff. Thanks for the tip Fappa, that got me into the phone (reinstalled cwm, factory reset). However I'd still like to remove CWM and go back to completely stock....
I'm not overly worried about it as I'm selling the phone but I'd like the new owner to have a completely clean phone in case they need to send it in at some point for repair. But in any case it's up and running with CWM and factory ICS rom.

I'm sure fappa meant to use the stock android recovery and wipe. when I go back to stock it always hangs at AT&T boot logo and have to wipe/reset from stock recovery to get it to boot.

Yes do what they say or you will continue to boot loop.

Ok, I've flashed a few ROMS Before using different recoverys, etc etc. I was attempting to install the VIPER ROM which requires you to install their "custom" recovery. So i did and rebooted my phone into recovery preparing to install the rom.zip from my SD Card. BUT for some reason it wouldn't read any downloads in my SD & when i went to restore my backup..... it wasn't reading anything there. SO, last night i attempted to remove the "CUSTOM" recovery and restore TWRP..... I removed the "cUSTOM" recovery successfully.... NOw i have a phone with a bootloader(unlocked of course) and NO OS, NO RECOVERY. I've been told to perform a hard factory reset by my friend, but when i attempt to do that it just goes to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, and stays. I was attempting to perform the factory reset through the adb command prompt but i have almost no experience with that method and couldn't find a post about a problem quite like mine. (SORRY if there is and it was overlooked, a bit stressed) I NEED HELP ON WHAT I SHOULD DO....
A. I dont know how to do a HARD factory reset now without using bootloader.
B. DO i have to reset it? Would an RUU work?
C. IS there another way to restory TWRP & My old backups or another custom ROM without LOSING my pictures/music/videos???

A- You can not reset because there no OS what will you reset in a phone without OS
B- If your phone is S-off then you sure you can run RUU.
C-IF you have created the nandroid backup then sure you can backup flash the recovery from which you have made the backup and restore it, and don't factory reset you will lose all your pic.

You should be able to flash a custom recovery from the bootloader. After that, if you cannot access your recoveries, then you should be able to sideload a ROM directly from your computer via ADB.
Good luck!
Like what title says.
Can't factory reset from android settings or wipe via TWRP directly either, gets stuck and just shuts down.
Custom ROM pixel experience.
TWRP version in the video.
Thanks.
I assume your bootloader is unlocked, so flash stock ROM with MiFlash, then your wanted custom ROM.
Just always make sure you have a working TWRP/OFox/PBRP...
I recently made a backup of every partition with TWRP and forgot to remove screenlock beforehand. So I restored the full backup after messing with custom roms, everything worked perfectly and everything was restored, until I couldnt set a password... I can go to the settings to set up a password but after confirming it, it closes and I have to do it again. Not even custom roms with formatted data can set a password... What can I do?
(The video has black parts which is just the recording hiding me setting up a password)
I've been there... Twice. The only thing that helped was a factory reset by (a) OnePlus (servicepoint).
NOTE: if they reflash stock rom, they should afterwards REBOOT TO STOCK RECOVERY, WHIPE EVERYTHING and reflash the rom once more.
If you ignore this step and a second flash, the question is not IF you will gey problems, but when.

So, if I bring it to a oneplus service point and they fix it, I should format data and flash stock rom again after? Where do I find the stock rom to flash?
No! They should re-flash stock (that's what they'll do anyway). But YOU need to tell them, to (after the flash) reboot to stock recovery, wipe all, and then re-re-flash the stock rom.
If they don't do that, they'll see you again, soon.
For some reason I don't know, one flash keeps residu of former 'playing around'. Your service point will probably NOT know this.
