Anyone try a factory reset?

I did and man my phone is messed up. It got stock (going on 15 min) atthat little droid animation with the wireball rolling around in the android belly. Not sure how to fix it.

I just pressed the power and volume up/down then it loaded to the bootloader. Once there i wiped cache and data. Then waited a bit while it was wiping data, then held down the power and it restarted. Hopefully that helps.

Ugh, im getting pissed. Second phone same thing. I factory reset from the settings menu. 100% stock. Every time i restart the damn phone it stuck attempting for format data for >15 mintues before i get pissed. If i choose bt tools or factory, it loads the phone just fine, but when i reset, back to the same problem.



EDIT: 8th time around it took just over 13 minutes and the phone reset.

Did it actually reset itself though? Clearly there's something wrong with the stock recovery. I can wipe cache fine, but do a data wipe, or factory reset, and it hangs... though I never let it go more than 5 minutes. I had used the fxz files previously, so I'm glad to hear it's not those and apparently a problem with the actual recovery img that came with the phone.

It also does seem to actually wipe data... something just must be getting stuck not allowing it to move forward when it's done.

Nothing wrong with it, it takes ages to erase, wait like 20 mins and it will eventually come back. It happened to me too.

Well at least that's good to know - but that seems way off timewise, regardless. I know there's more internal storage than most devices, but still...

Yep, it just takes a massively long time. Sorry for the pre teen freak out.

Yup apparently it just takes a little bit. All good on my end.

boot with android guy screen

Did anyone that had this problem have a progress bar the whole time? I bought a used Razr maxx hd online and it was factory reset. I tried to boot and got the same issue (android guy with geometry spinning forever) did a hard reset (power + volume down) same thing. Finally got into recovery menu (power + volume up + volume down) and any option i chose would reboot and finally load. But after activating the phone and having all my apps loaded I decided to test a reboot on the phone. Sadly it got stuck again and after using the same method to boot, I had lost everything. Hope there's a fix for this, not sure I can do a swap since I bought this used.

Yea, just let the android guy spin, and go back to in 20 minutes. If still spinning, 10 more minutes. It should be good after that. If not, return that thing!

I let it run a long time, finally rebooted but erased everything again. Then I tried installing the new update. Again hung on android guy long long time, reboot finally and again had to setup the phone and update didnt even install.
