Guest kwenteen Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone, as I can't do a real factory reset, because I have a modded streak, Does anybody knows what does exactly factory reset function? In this way, I could do all it does properly, but manually, via ADB for example... what does it format, erase, reset, rewrite ? thanks ! Boujou bien, K.

Boujou bien, K. erases any user and temporary data, leaves R/O partitions alone, such as /system and boot. you can NOT do it through adb while regularly powered on, you might be able to do it with adb from the recovery, dont know why you would want to.

Guest Ced62 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yup, exactly, only erase /data and /userdata. And it won't restore any modification on /system (apps removed, modified prop files, etc ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
