I'm having a problem with my Sim card activating, and the VZW tech told me to wait a while to see if it finishes and if not to go to the boot loader and do a factory reset. I'm currently running the EclipitcRez Rom from Hawk, so what does the factory reset do? Is it going to put the stock Rom back on or is it going to leave EclipticRez there and just reset some other things? Or should I just not do it at all.

Thanks!

It'll keep the ROM. It'll basically just erase any settings / apps you installed. All it really does is reset back to the stage where you first flash the ROM and perform the setup wizard.

They did it to my GNexus when I had to go in when my 4G wasn't working on it. I had flashed a ROM jsut before going there, and they did a factory reset on it, and it just wiped it back to the Setup Wizard.

Right on. Thanks for the reply. What I actually did was went to recovery and flashed the stock plus Rom from MicroMod and started fresh. 4G is back up and everything is running again. :highfive:
