Does "Erase all settings" make the phone like a restore?
I am selling my iPhone 4. I don't want to update it to 4.0.2, but iTunes is trying to make me do it in order to restore - so instead i used the iPhones system settings to erase all data and settings ... it now appears as a restored phone - is this good enough for selling preparation.
P.S. the reason for selling is my employer is providing me with a paid for Evo (including plan etc). I prefer the iPhone for many reasons, but also want to save money, so reluctantly I am selling it.

You need to read closer, right below the "Reset All Settings" is "Erase All Content and Settings". They are two completely different things. roaminggnome is referring to the "Erase All Content and Settings" as clearly mentioned in his post.
I fear roamingnome, to whom I was responding, did not clearly mention "Erase All Content and Settings". Read closer...
We don't want to confuse the OP.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!
Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Does "reset all settings" remove the provisioning profiles on my iphone?
Basically have a few installed provisioning profiles and wonder if resetting all settings will remove it.
Take it to an Apple store to be evaluated; without a working power button, there is no further troubleshooting you can do.

Erasing all settings to restore earlier I-Cloud sync
Will the existing "Shared Streams" be deleted from my phone if I erase all settings? I managed to erase/delete all my videos and many photos from my phone in the process of trying to upload them to my PC. Now I want to at least recover most of them from an earlier I-Cloud sync I did a couple weeks ago.
But I cannot afford to lose two precious videos that still exist in my Shared Streams folder on the IPhone, since they happened after the I-Cloud sync in question.
Thus my question: what gets erased when you "erase all settings?"
Thanks!If you restore with that last backup (3/31/12), you will get the pics in that backup.
Note that pics taken with the iPhone can and should be copied/moved off the iPhone like you would with any digital camera. -

Does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
Hi all, so I forgot my book's passcode and I reset it from the Recovery mode. All is fine, but I was wondering does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh? All the chains, registries and all, just like a fresh copy of Windows ? Or did I mixed up all...
P.S. Strange after the factory reset and the system's downloading I got this as apps (of course some are downloaded by me)does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
Actually, the "delete all" part is done by your using Disk Utility to erase the partition, as part of your clean install. -

i have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly but i want to update from itunes.iwill do back up but is there any other thing i will face after updating like it will jut show apple loge and will not work. please answer quickly
An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models. -
I have iphone 3gs 32 GB attempt to Reset-Erase all settings now stuck with Apple logo
I have iphone 3gs, i have downloaded free games and apps from app strore installed and it was working fine. i even updated the games a couple of times. Two days ago I attempt to Reset-Erase all settings & Content of my phone. It was stuck with apple logo. till now. What to do? Now it is stuck there and when I connect it to my PC it does not appear there also.
It is just charging and chargning only. when i disconnect it shows battery low.
Help please. Please... Please...............Force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
