Newbie Listen UP! Do Not Factory Reset Your Rooted Phone

Yesterday alone, I received about 6 emails from different
people that bricked their phone just today. I thought for a moment and resolved
to writing the below.

NEWBIES LISTEN UP!



1. Do not, I Repeat DO NOT Factory reset your phone using the phone settings
menu if you have a custom ROM installed on your Android device or optimus V
EVER! Every day there is a new comment in here with the title “I think I
bricked my phone!
” Or “My phone keeps booting into Recovery” and
lo and behold the first sentence I read is “I reset my phone to
Factory
.”

2. READ the directions on installing a ROM first before you do it, Not while
you are doing it. If you have questions please ask away a lot of good people
here are happy to help.

3.Learn to be patient rushing something like this will only cause you to be the
proud owner of an expensive paper weight.

4. Make a backup first before flashing a new ROM even if you didn’t in the past
it’s only a matter of time before something breaks. Don’t get stuck without a
backup.

5. DO NOT Factory reset EVER! I don’t care if you did it on an old phone or if
you did it with x rom and nothing bad happened. Why even take that risk to
begin with?

Hopefully this helped someone new so I don’t have to roll my eyes and groan
because I’m reading yet another “I bricked my phone email or comments”

Spread the love

  2. In the spirit of weekend, use this guide below to get free 100 Min from Airtel… Note the credit can only be use to call only airtel numbers.

    This trick works for all Airtel numbers and call
    can
    only be made to airtel number only.
    Now dial these codes accordingly
    *337#
    *700#
    *700*1#
    *700*2#
    You will see something like this after dialing
    those
    codes: Dear customer, you still have 100 free
    minutes.

    HOW TO USE THE FREE CREDIT TO CALL?
    Dial *337*2* airtel phone number# to use your
    free

    • I definitely replied you, that you didn't go back to check where you posted it.

      Boot your phone into recovery mode, and use your volume up and down to scroll down to wipe cache.
      Do that and reboot your device.

    • Yes, your phone need to be rooted… And for your second question, yes you can but it will not give you thesame functionality(s)

      You can use any of those methods.
