How do I reset a rooted hero

ObsoleteE · #1 (**permalink**) 10-02-2010, 01:30 PM

I just got an EVO and threw the HERO on CL. I am running Fresh 2.1 (update 2). I boot the phone into recovery mode and choose to reinstall fresh 2.1. It loads fresh like it should, I then restart the phone. It takes about 5 mins to start up just like it should. Then when the home screen loads up, all of my shit is still on there, just like I never even did anything. If I go into menu>settings>security, the option isn't even there to reset. I want to sell this phone, but not with all of my info on it. Help please.

Did you try wiping the phone from recovery?

it will erase everything from your phone and put it back to 2.1 update 1 ending in .5, then just do the ota update if you want

I didn't see that option. I'll give another shot tomorrow. Thanks.
