Factory Reset Did Not Uninstall ICS

[mnapolita]

Hi guys. So I own a Samsung Galaxy S II and months ago did the switch to Ice Cream Sandwich. I hated it since I got it and finally had enough. Read up on the subject and it said a factory reset should clear it up. I backed everything up and did the reset and it is still on ICS. Any help?

Hi mnapolita...

Welcome aboard. Unfortunately, doing a reset of the device won't revert the Android version to the previous one.

I too was hating on having ICS on my device, but after playing around with it for sometime, I found out that it was way more cooler than the Gingerbread version.

Give it some time... Stop by your device's area of support for some cool tips and information on your device and its Android version.

A factory reset will clear out your personal data and empty the caches, but it will leave you on the current Android version. If you want to go back to Gingerbread, you will either have to root your phone and install a rom of that version or you'll have to contact your carrier for a replacement phone.
