Factory reset old LG android phone?

I have a dilemma. I bought the new Samsung Galaxy S5 and have no use of my old LG Lucid smartphone.
I went on setting and factory reset my LG phone.
I still would like to use my LG phone, not really use it, but more of being able to access the programs like camera and wifi.
After resetting it, it turned on and went to the setup wizard. It was mentioning something about activation.
I was just wondering if this will activate my old phone? and deactivate my new phone? I am just afraid of accidentally activating my old phone and have ridiculous charges.

If you still have a SIM card installed in the Lucid, remove it and you should then be good to go. The phone requires a SIM card for activation.

Unfortunately, you can't. There's no way around it. You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again. If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.

Accidently did a factory reset on a deactivated phone, need help to reactivate for Wi-Fi use. Its an iphone 3gs. Verizon please help

hello
Hoping someone can please help me. I bought a new phone 4 and gave the old phone (iphone 3g) to my 3 year old daughter. she loves it and can take pics, videos, and connect to wi-fi to download and play games. She's always wanting to play her educational games.
, When i was trying to download some songs for her so she can listen to them. it asked me to do a factory reset. I didnt know what it was, so i dedcided to go ahead an do it Next thing you know, I can/t use the phone no more.
When I turn on the phone, the first screen asks me to select my language, English or Espanol. I select English and then it forwards me to the next screen. The next screen says, "Press Send to activate your phone". When I click on Send, it requires me to enter my mobile phone number so that it can begin the activation of the phone.
I dont want to activate this old phone to use for calls, I just want to fix the phone so that my daughter can continue to use it for her use by playin games listenin to music and whatever else she does.she really loves this phone.
But I can't get past the Activation screen to use the phone. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me? maybe theres there is a activation number I can use to bypass that activation screen?i saw that verizon gave one to another guy for his samsung, maybe you guy can do the same for me?

Factory Reset Old Nano On PC (Was Formatted On Mac)

I borrowed a friend's old Nano -- I believe it is a 2nd gen. (Long and skinny design and, I'm pretty sure, no video).
I used it with my Mac and my iTunes. And I must have done some sort of reset so that iPod worked on my Mac and played my music.
I returned the iPod to him and suggested he would need to restore / reformat / ... to make the iPod work with his iTunes on his PC. No suggestion of playing my songs or the stuff I would have loaded on the iPod. He wants a clean reset and wants to load his music from his iTunes on his PC.
He can't get it to work. The Nano is charged up but when he plugs it into his PC it doesn't show up.
I'm flying a bit blind here -- not sure what generation of Nano, what iTunes nor what version of Windows.
Any advice what I should suggest he do (or I should do the next time I'm at his computer)?
Would it do any good to do a factory reset using my Mac?
Can the Genius Bar people do the reset?
...Thanks

Yes. The Genius Bar can help you set it back to format it needs to be in.
Has your friend tried resetting the nano with it connected to his PC? To do this, press and hold both the Select and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If you are up for the job, see this article for information on how to format the iPod as FAT32 using Disk Utility on your Mac.

My bluetooth will not turn on, I may have accidentally deleted something while using "clean master"? is there a way to recover or reload without doing a factory reset? Thanks.Android 4.2.2 Jelly bean

Sorry to hear that the Bluetooth data/profiles may have been deleted from your phone. Accidents happen!
oznaw, to be honest, I believe you will need to perform a master reset in order to recover the missing Bluetooth data, as there is nothing really available in the Play Store that just updates the Bluetooth profiles/data. Let us know if you have any additional questions, or if you found an alternative. Thank you oznaw.

That is the Activation Lock
There no way around that without the previous owner's AppleID and password.
It is totally worthless to you. Return it an get your money back.

HT5312 phone activation after factory reset

Will a factory reset require reactivation of phone service with the carrier

Hi, SBtaylor.
The iPhone will require the previously used SIM or a valid activated SIM after factory resetting the device.

Nokia Asha 501 Factory reset and keyboard bug

When you do a factory reset and restore the phone to the last back up point, your app store and xpress browser stops working. I have tried accessing the internet via wifi and not the mobile internet.
You just do the factory reset and download an app or surf internet on xpress browser, it works perfectly fine. However once you do the restore it stops working. You can surf internet using Opera mini, that means wifi internet is working fine on the phone.
Error on app store: 'Downloading Failed'.
Error on xpress browser: 'can't load this page at the moment. Please try again later'.
Keyboard Bug:
when typing in portrait mode, keys on extreme right side (P,L,backspace and enter) are less resposive to touch. Same is the case of the keys on the extreme left side (Q,A,Caps and symbol). I have to keep on touching in order to make it work.
Nokia team, please find a solution to this asap. My phone is not even one month old. This is really diappointing.
Let me know if you need more details.

About the backup and restore thing, i don't know why Nokia decides to cut out the good features. The backup and restore system in older S40/Asha phones worked better as users were allowed to select what is backuped. Backing up and restoring pre-installed apps always creates a problem.
I hope Nokia will update the backup application and include the option to select what is backuped. Until then the problem will remain.

Backed up with 10.3, did a factory reset and now it comes up as 10.2 and I can't restore

I was on 10.3 with by Q10 but it the other day it wasn't connected to my provider. I did a back up and then and factory reset. Now my phone is cleared with 10.2., When i do a restore with bb link it won't let me because my phone has to have 10.3. I called Rogers ( my carrier ) and they said that 10.3 it's being offered right now due to some issues BB was having. When i run a software update on my phone or via link it says it's up to date with 10.2.
I lost all my text messages, settings, media, apps...
I have my contacts and calendar syned with outlook but not being able to restore the other stuff is very annoying..
any help?

Hi,
as far as I understand the situation is as follwos:
1) You had 10.3 on your Q10 and ran the backup
2) Now you did a wipe and the Q10 is back to 10.2
3) You can not restore the data becuase it was backed up as 10.3 and the device is on 10.2
4) It does not provide you the possibility to update to 10.3
From what I know, Blackberry detected an issue with one of the latest versions of 10.3 and therefore stopped the deployment. During the next days they should release the updated version adn deploy it globally. Then I assume your Q10 will prompt you for update again.
I had the same with a Z30 I recently received as my business mobile...I wondered why I was unable to update to 10.3 a this was released some weeks ago. But then i read about the issues and that they put 10.3 for the "old" devices on hold. 2 days ago I received 10.3 for the Z30. Therfore I am confident that it will be available for your Q10 soon (always depends on BB and the carriers)

How to restore an X61s (MBR?) to access ThinkVantage Factory Reset

Hello Community,
I read several posts regarding different kind of boot problem scenarios, but nothing fit so far..
I can successful boot into the Windows XP Professional partition; but somehow I messed up all my network drivers during a bluetooth software experiment. Tired of trying different drivers, but, hey, no problem, there is a hidden 6 GB Lenovo partition on the harddrive that is supposed to reset the X61s to factory settings.
However I cannot boot into that partition. A collegue has an X61s as well; when he presses the blue ThinkVantage button on restart he gets to that Recovery / Factory Reset screen. When I press that button I only get a choice of [ESC] Continuing to boot, entering the bios or [F12] choosing a different boot device. I'm assuming that this somehow has to do with me resetting the MBR to a "standard one" with one the many MBR tools out there. (I tried GRUB on there last year for an Ubuntu installation that I removed already by now.)
So I copy the 512 MBR from my collegue, write it to my MBR (MBRWizard); as a result the Windows partition doesnt boot anymore (dead cursor top left). Booting again from my Utilities CD (thank god I have an external USB drive), restoring to that "standard" MBR.
At this point I don't care about the factory recovering anymore and try the Win XP Pro DVD from my desktop; after all I have the product key printed on the bottom of the X61s. Result: Bluescreen; possibly harddrive failure; which I cannot confirm returning to HD scans from the running Xp partition.
So now I am puzzled: How can I reset my X61s to the factory standard or install a new XP on it?
How can I get the original ThinkVantage button rescue screen back? (As suggested in a different forum post, I installed the latest Rescue&Recovery 4.2, but no differences) I found a link to an MBR repair DISK to download from Lenovo. Don't have an external drive; so also no option.
Could anybody please point me in the direction from here? I'm ... lost.... : /
Thanks

Sorry. That was mostly just boiling rage after someone walked into the office in the middle of the day and stole multiple phones. (We develop iOS apps…) We were googling frantically and trying to figure out:
"Okay, so we locked the phones. WTH, they just showed up at Smith Street? Okay, well we offerered a reward. Is someone gonna reset them and sell them? Can they even reset them? Should we erase the phones? Are they already bricked if they're locked? Does erasing the phone protect data? Or does it just unlock it and hand it to the thief on a silver platter?"
So long story short, we erased them. Then became unclear whether that protected the data or whether it really just performed a factory reset and made the phones resellable. At any rate it's pretty clear they're not coming back.
Bottom line: the euphemism of 'lost phone' is frustrating when you can pretty clearly watch your phone getting stolen. Given the number of phones that do get stolen, it's frustrating that it's so difficult to track down what the different options are actually doing and what the ultimate fate of your phone will be.
Question 1: We click 'Lost Mode.' Is there a way for someone to do a factory reset and sell the phone?
Question 2: We clock 'Erase phone.' Is there a way for someone to do a factory reset and sell the phone?
Question 3: We clock 'Lost mode' followed by 'Erase phone.' Is there a way for someone to do a factory reset and sell the phone?
Sorry for my rude or otherwise upleasant tone before. I know they're just phones, but no one was in a good mood yesterday afternoon.

39L4300 Factory Reset issue

Hi All.
I just did a factory reset via the android menu, through General> Backups & Reset> Factory data reset.
Right now, there appears to be power, with only backlight on, and remote control appear to be not working.
Tried reset it via poking needle at the side of the TV, still not starting up. just blank black background
Is there any way to make it boot up via computer or some sort?
thanks

Hi Peter
Thanks for the advice.
Have called and successfully solved the problem.
Apparantly, they changed the whole circuit board, or you call it motherboard.
Thats weird, word of advice to all, dont ever do a Reset from android menu.
Thanks

Term41.default auth failed error on 7941 after factory reset - UCM 8.0

I am having an issue with a 7941 phone. After performing a factory reset on the 7941 phone that was having issues it now is stuck in a continuous loop where it powers on, tries to download term41.default, says auth failed, and the reboots. I have tried setting a static dhcp entry forcing it to point to my UCM 8.0 server but it continues to loop. I have tried multiple factory resets on the same phone with the same results. Other phones, even other 7941 phones register without a problem. I have verified the term41.default.loads file exists on the UCM 8.0 server. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem. I am about ready to smash it into a billion pieces. :-)
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I got it. I went through and deleted the files stored on the UCM tftp server for the 7941 phone, reinstalled SCCP41.8-4-1SR1S and it seems to be upgrading now. Then I will have to go through and upgrade to 8.5.2 and then 8.5.3 then eventually get my way back up to 9.0.3. Thanks Michael for pointing me in the right direction!!!!!! I appreciate your help!

Nokia N97 Factory Reset

I have this Nokia N97 now for 5 days and did something wrong. I uninstalled Accu Weather and some other Apps by accident. After I did the Factory Reset all my emails have been still in the phone as well there haven't been the uninstalled Apps back. I mean a Factory Reset should bring the phone kompletely to that level as I bought it. What can I do to get this Nokia N97 to its original settings and Apps back as it has been when I bought it? Further I like to know what settings I've to do with N1, N2 or N3? I've no idea what this means.

You don't want the phone in the original state you bought it in, you want to create as much space as you possibly can on the C drive (phone memory) to help the phone work efficiently. Any apps you need you should be able to download and install on E mass memory. Also set messaging to store all messages on E Mass memory (in messaging , select- options-settings-other-memory in use-E mass memory, and set number of messages to about 500).
Don't know how you reset the phone , but if all your messages were still there without using E to store them, you didn't reset !
I suggest dialing *#7370# followed by 12345 which will reset phone and leave the maximum free memory available, then set up the phone as you want it. BACK UP your contacts, calendar and Notes BEFORE a reset using PC Suite or Ovi Suite, on your computer.
Good Luck

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...
