New firmware and factory reset

Hi
I was wondering if an automatic update to the new firmware could have caused my phone to factory reset on its own?
Anybody has the same experience?
Thanks

Normally not,but in some cases that does occur.Why? I cannot say.It could be a malfunction of the update tool or some app acting up.

My phone will not turn on, therefore I have received a replacement phone but am wanting to reset my old device. It is not locating it because it says it is offline however I cannot turn it on at all. Can I start with my new device and not reset the old? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's been a week without a phone

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Screen Keeps Dying - Tried Hard Reset and Factory Reset

I have a playbook which I recieved last spring and lately it has been giving me a lot of problems with the screen.
Starting around early December, the screen would not turn on after it had gone to sleep unless I pressed the power button on and off a couple times. Then, a few weeks later, that trick stopped working. I tried doing a hard reset where you hold down the power button and volume keys until it forces a hard reset. That worked a couple times also, then stopped working around the end of December.
Two days ago I did a factory reset by reinstalling the firmware. The device worked for a while, but today it is back to its same old problems.
I should note that when I say "the screen didn't turn on" in almost every circumstance, the backlight would turn on and a few pale lines would be displayed on the screen.
Is my playbook completely dead? Does anyone have any ideas what else I could do?

Try doing a search on this forum or on Crackberry.com. There was a procedure written on downgrading the OS.
Yes I know, I wanted Johnpiz to explain the suggestion. You have to root the Playbook and render the warranty void, break the agreement you made, and risk bricking the Playbook. Not advised in this forum any more than recommending jailbreaking on the Apple support forum.
And it will not fix the problem either.

HP system restore and factory reset not completing

Hello.
1: Person tried a system restore to fix a user profile problem but once booted the OS changed the user profile to "temporary" every time, checked the original profile but only the avatar was left , all other personal info was gone.
      Working through "profiles list" in the registry and setting back to the original user profile from temp profile didn't work and went back to temporary.
      Complete erasure reset of all user profiles includig in the registry didn't work either. Went back to temporary profile.
      It was no use to save any files while the OS was in this stat as every reboot would remove the files including in the temp profile.
2: Tried all basic boot/DOS HP recovery for installed windows OS with no success, all system restore backups back several months failed.
3: Tried a factory reset twice and while it did restore for the most part with the automated drivers installed the HP recovery returns an error that factory reset did not or could not complete itself. This was attempted twice.
      While one could shut down the HP error screen in windows 8 and continue the failed reset booting error was still logged and it defaults to the HP receovery which ends up looping over and over again.
       while still in windows once the HP error is closed one can goto the usual user name and password so that was done twice and with the simplest password.
       Problems compounded when the OS rebooted and asked for user name and password, which returned "not valid" over and over again.   One time i entered the user "administrator" with the password "admin" and it worked, it started loading but then returned invalid username or password. Point being that that was not the actual user name and passowrd that was chosen and confirmed.
       This part of the problem is the same as the first problem
3A: I wiped the main and system partitions and reformatted them and ran then HP factory reset once again, it restored faster than the first attempt, however it dropped to the same username/password error and i can't even get into safe mode any longer.
Again the system boot sequence registeres the restore as incomplete but i can boot select OS which is how i am able to get into windows to test the User/pass.
4: I beleive that there is hardware malfunction with the hard drive controler in this system as i noticed that UEFI is intermitant no matter what settings you set in the BIOS/CMOS. When UEFI boot CD/DVD does appear in the boot selection it can't detect the cd/dvd drive or a USB drive "invalid device".
     Many of the boot options even when set in the bios will not always appear in the boot selector on every power up that includes legacy.
      While i can boot from CD/DVD with the legacy boot selection. I can't install windows 8 or 7 becasue the HD is A GPT and without UEFI i don't get advanced options in the windows OS install partition setup. Windows 7 or 8 won't install becasue the HD partition is a GPT format even after i wipe those paritions and make new ones with basic NTFS.
      I could LLF the HD and hope that i could install windows 7 but the UEFI being intermitent would probably return the same resutls as the HP factory reset.   Similar problem with older computers when enabling AHCI in windows.
     If i LLF the HD i loose the HP recovery completely.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello.   The laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook PC
I have since LLF'd the HD and installed windows 8.1. It's still touchy but it's working for the time being.
A: The laptop's owner did a standard windows system restore
B: I did two windows system restores as well as backups.
C: Yes i usd the F11 at boot recovery system to run windows system restores, cleanings, and finally the factory reset. Which is obvious as i stated above that if wiped both main windows partitions and it helped the factory restore speed so only restoring an image will replace the OS on the now empty partition.
D: No i didn't keep the failed restore logs as they were randomly scrambled with all the recover cycle loops (both times).
Also i should mention that the factory restore once it failed the completion i got "insufficient sapce" error as well which i am guessing that it's trying to write the log file.
If memory serves there was only 40mb left on the recovery partition. Yes MB not GB.

Resetting firmware via factory reset?

Hi,
I have a late 2008 Macbook (the unibody with removable battery one). I want to roll back my firmware to an older version, because apparently I have this weird, discretely released version of the current firmware that doesn't allow third party batteries. However, apparently rolling back the firmware is not easy. I was told by an apple employee that if I do a factory reset I've got about 70-30 chance of this resetting the relevant things.
So basically, I want to back up my files, but I don't want to use an application that carries over everything (like time machine) since I want all the system stuff to be reset. Basically, I want to drag n' drop. But of course, I want to drag and drop so as many things stay working as possible. Any tips here? For example, can I just drag and drop the applications folder, or will I want to include the "Library" folder if I want thing to actually work? Or am I better off just reinstalling applications?
Thanks in advance!

Firmware only goes forward, if one bricks your machine Apple just replaces your logicboard or if they can't your out of luck.
However I've read stories/threads online it's possible to downgrade the firmware, but I don't know where I saw it.
This is the method to reinstall the firmware in case it gets lost out of NVRAM or botched update, but it won't downgrade it according to Apple.
Restoring firmware on Intel Mac's
So now you at least know how to reinstall the firmware, but I've read the downgrade can occur in place somehow.
Sorry I don't have any more information, you'll have to search the more geekier Mac hacking sites.
Ask on MacRumors.com, there are a lot of hackers there or can point you in the right direction if it exists.

My time capsule isn't responding after soft, hard and factory resets... what next??

What is the front LED doing?
If it is solid amber the drive is dead.. there is no way to recover the Gen2 drive unless you remove it and pass it to data recovery specialist along with your wallet, credit card and bank account.
TC is not designed as a file server so I just hope you were not saving your itunes or iphoto store on it without a backup.
If it is flashing amber.. plug it into a computer by ethernet in complete isolation from the network.

How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

2.2 and factory reset - fixed issues, and battery is much better

I am not sure this will help all users with little quirks going on or not, but I had lagging issues, and quirks myself. Decided to do the factory reset, and re-set up my phone and what a difference. My web is faster, battery seems to get much more life out of it, no lagging issues between button presses, etc. I say if you are having any type of small thing, take the time and do it. I will bet you are happy you did.

I can't really quantify it but noticeably better. Just a guess feels like 20%

Updated and factory reset macbookpro, how to recover lost videos from the application "front row"

Desperately need an answer, every response is appreciated.

What do you mean you factory reset it?
If you erased & reinstalled the OS then I'm afraid to tell you that those items are gone.
A data recovery company may be able to recover files but it could be difficult or impossible depending on the disk type & how it was setup.
You need to avoid writing any new data to a disk that will be recovered from to stand the best chance of finding deleted files. Power off the Mac & leave it off until you have decided on a course of action.
Don't you have any backups at all?

Upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1: Support and Factory Reset

Hello. With Windows 10 finally out, I'd like to try Windows 10, as it would have the Start Button back (oh yeah), there'll be DirectX 12, and hopefully some compatibility issues of some apps/games would be resolved in Windows 10. I already have a reservation, and while I'm waiting for it to tell me that it's ready to download, I'd want to ask a few things first before upgrading. [Computer Details: Model: Lenovo G510CPU: i7-4700MQ @ 2.40GhzRAM: 6GBGPU: Switchable Graphics - Intel HD Graphics 4600 and AMD Radeon R7 M265OS: Windows 8.1 Single Language - pre-installed when bought, laptop did not come with any disks] So, to the questions: 1. Will my laptop support Windows 10?1.a. Will Lenovo release Windows 10 drivers (audio, bluetooth, camera, cardreader, energy manager, WLAN, etc.) for the G510? Windows 8.1 has a nifty feature (well at least I think it's nice) in its PC Settings>Update & Recovery>Recovery settings wherein it allows me to Refresh, and, Reinstall (reset) windows, completely removing files and going back to Factory Settings. Windows 10 is also showcasing the same feature (read it here: http://www.qoncious.com/questions/how-restore-windows-10-factory-settings). So my question then is: 2. Supposing I'd want to reformat my HDD and just get rid of everything, doing spring cleaning (I tend to use a lot of applications and create large files), AND assuming I have installed Windows 10 already, will the "Reset to Factory Settings" option reset my computer back to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10? I'm planning on starting clean when I upgrade to Windows 10, so I don't want to suddenly find out it's rolling back to Windows 8.1.2.a I've also read (here: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/07/31/how-to-skip-the-wait-for-your-windows-10-update | Skip to Appendix A) users who try to directly install Windows 10, naturally those whose computers are already reserved, when they get stopped at a screen that asks them to enter their product key (which they won't have, since they're doing the free upgrade). Random question, what's up with that?! I think Windows 10 is great, from what I've read and what I'm hearing from my friends who bought computers already in Windows 10. These are my reservations before upgrading, and it'd be nice that I know what I'm getting into before upgrading. Please and thanks!

Bump.
