http://androidforums.com – My name is Bud, I'm brand new to site. I actually know very little about rooting a phone but I have been busy reading links and trying to get things figured out. My girlfriend has a rooted LG Optimus M690 I bought from ebay. She tried to do reset it to factory, I think, using the reset that is on the phone. The phone still has superuser installed, titanium back up, and root explorer. I am not if sure of any other apps, such as rom manager and so on were erased by this reset, the ear speaker no longer works when a call is made you cannot hear the person talking. There was a green Android on (General)

Hi guys, just a few simple questions regarding malware, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out quick!

1. Does malware require to root your phone in order for it to work? Or can it steal your information without rooting?

2.

First lets understand what a factory reset does. It removes all USER DATA and restores the phone back to factory settings providing that the phone is not rooted. User data is defined as apps, call logs, contacts, and anything else the user has placed in the phones memory. Stuff that is on the SDCARD is not affected by a factory reset.

I rooted my optimus V with gingerbreak and decided to factory reset it today for some reason. I factory reset ted it then it got stuck on the LG logo. So I took my battery out then in and turned it back on and it was still stuck on that logo. So I took it back out and back in and help volume down+home+power and it showed the LG logo for a split second then the screen goes blank.

After reading that others have the same issues as I do with ICS (bad battery life, wifi connection problems, and the phone being sluggish) and a factory reset is the "fix" for this, I went ahead and did a factory reset. Surprisingly, the phone had automatically backed up everything..

[Q] Root Messed 36 weeks 5 days ago

So, I have a vodafone smart 2 phone and I rooted it 3 weeks ago, it worked fine until today I made a factory reset of it.

So after the reset, I wanted to open a root required app and nothing, it gave me a error, i installed another, and one more error.

So i searched the site for a while and could not find anything on how to get back information (really only pictures) after I Reset my phone back to factory. For some reason or another my phone would not allow me to sign in through Gmail even after talking with Google on the phone and confirming my email my locked phone would not unlock.

Sound Problems with Bluetooth 17 weeks 5 days ago

Hey guys, maybe someone has a suggestion. My Optimus G (Sprint) is rooted and unlocked. When I attempt to listen to music with my Bluetooth Motorola headphones (it pairs and all correctly) it routes the sound through the phone speaker instead (BT headphones will work for phone conversations).

Support Need advice 1 year 15 weeks ago

Downloaded an app called Gingerbreak, guess it roots your phone. Now a friend told me never root your phone through an app and the phone reset itself and its back to new.

My about phone menu is now saying: android version 2.2.2 kernel version 2.6.32.9 (didn't have before the reset)

Soooo my phone reset, but I still have the Superuser app that I guess came with the Gingerbreak root.

Problem after factory reset 11 weeks 1 day ago

Recently I factory reset the phone after I was unable to store new contacts and the phone was showing the wrong time. After factory resetting the phone, it wont detect any sim card. I am unable to turn on bluetooth and wifi. I am not sure if I still have proper root access or not, but superuser application is present.
