is it possible to do a factory restore to original settings

[Guest bignred84]

I going round in circles here

thought I had rooted my phone, followed instructions provided, everything appeared fine

got the app superuser, (i was informed by someone this meant it had worked) however still had orange apps etc

tried to copy the rom from this site, stand by for my problems, got a message no SD card, have made a thread about this

was unable to wipe/clear/format the card, was getting message no sd card, also could not take pictures

tonight I have put a new micros sd card in with files/folders supplied by a fellow poster on HUKD

things have improved , so much at least I can take a picture, I am also not getting message about no sd card

however still unable to copy/drag the renamed file as I get a message not enough room etc

hence I feel like starting afresh, is this possible

I've found the best way to be sure it is to use the Stock image from This Thread and ADB.

first off put the SD into your PC and delete all the contents from there, then copy the mcri-system-stock-OUK_P729BV1.0.0B05.tar.gz file into the root.

put the SD Card back into the phone, and boot into recovery mode (hold down Volume UP), then using fastboot type the following

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase persist

fastboot write boot boot.blade.superboot.mcri.r2.img

fastboot reboot[/code]



That should clear out everything you've done to the phone and return it very close to factory settings.

that last step.. where you flash the boot image ... that will automatically root it when it boots up..

# Download fastboot if you do not have it already.

It will take a while to reboot, dont worry just leave it for 5/10 minutes at most

I've had issues with the SD card as well.

Not in the OSF, but after moving it to my Hero.

I decided to fully trash it and repartition (for A2SD). After restoring my nandroid, the phone went absolutely apeshit.

Firstboot was a failure, no apps whatsoever (it refused to setup the symlinks for /data/app, etc). Secondboot was even worse, Hero was stuck in a bootloop.

Swapped the SD out for my Goldcard. Repartitioned identically, restored nandroid, Hero works perfectly :|

I would strongly suggest repartitioning the new card you've put into your OSF and retrying the operation... Either that, or try:
