hard reset questions

[thug4life2005]

ok first and formost i did search for this and i didnt find unless i was was using wrong search terms or it was labeled as something different.

ok i added stuff to my windows folder on my xv6900 and it asked if i wanted to over write i clicked yes it said something bout it being in the rom do i still want to over write i chose yes. ok here our my 2 quick questions.

1. will doing a hard reset replace the files i overwritten back to the orginals?

2. is using clear storage located in settings the same exact thing as a hard reset?

thanxs for the information. and thank you to who ever anwsers my questions.

answer to both of your questions is yes lol a hard reset and clear storage is the same thing. and doing a hard reset will make your device as it originally was before you did any modifications

ok i thought since it said that the file is in the rom and ask to overwrite it that even tho i did a hard reset that them files will still be there since it modifyed the orginal rom. sorry im still learning only had this phone for only a few months.

and for the question on the error when overwriting use resco file explorer 7.05

[thug4life2005]

thats what i used dash was version 7.05 and it gave me that message. i just hard reseted and i programed my phone with *228 and now when i make a call it says welcome to verizonwireless we are sorry we are unable to authenticate your phone.

Wow...really, cuz I was under the same impression that clear storage would just erase your storage memory and leave but would have any effect to system changes? So does that mean when i want to restore my device to manufactured setting I can just do clear storage instead of hard resets... Also, if you do clear storage does it wipe your sd card memory also, or do i have to remove it or something?

yes you can use clear storage thats what i did and i would remove ur card just to be on the safe side incase it does erase it it might not but better safe then sorry. hope this helps you.

just a quick question to ad to this. if you were to do a clear storage would it wipe out all of your contacts? and if it does would they be restored when you hotsync with the pc?
