Follow these steps for a successful factory reset.
Step 1
Make sure.......that you are sure........that you are positive.........you want to do this.
STEP 2
Oh......What's this? Settings. Privacy. Factory Reset. Well that was easy enough to find huh?
**STOP RIGHT THERE**
before you start a global thermonuclear war!!!!!
---DON'T do factory resets through the settings menu on the phone if you are rooted and have CWM(Recovery) Flashed!!!!!!----
Do you understand that? Repeat after me so i know you understand!
I,____________, Will NOT do a factory reset through Settings/Privacy ever again on my Rooted/Recovery Flashed Lg-Esteem.
STEP 3
You know that little thing called ClockworkMod that you flashed through ROM Manager to Install, backup, restore, etc.......?
Well that little option called Wipe data/Factory Reset is the same as doing it in the settings menu except you won't get SCREWED in the process.
**NOTE**
Wiping data and factory resetting when you have a custom ROM installed will reset the ROM you have flashed. It WONT flash the stock OEM Rom that comes with the phone.
TIP
Make sure you have FLASHED Cwm through ROM Manager before using the (Power+Vol/UP&DOWN) combo. Obviously if you try this and you DONT have CWM installed where is it going to go? To hell that's where. Pull your battery about 5 times until a higher power decides you worthy of having your phone back again, throw salt over your left shoulder, send out three smoke signals, do 5 jumping jacks, take 2 Advil, wave at a squirrel outside until he waves back and eventually your phone will boot as normal. **The last step is very important. If the squirrel doesn't wave back then it wont work and you will have to start all over.
STEP 4
Thank me for saving you from a migraine.
Seriously! Thank me
I'm not kidding. I will find you. I will invoke Satan to empty your post count and replenish mine. After I take your soul first of course.
**EXIT RECOVERY**
IF you did do the unthinkable and reset your phone through the settings menu, put this on your SD card and LEAVE IT THERE while you own your esteem.

Flash it through recovery and you will be good to go.
Once the phone boots
Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. Let out a sigh of relief because your Daddy and Uncle Fuzzy just saved your buttocks. When you think you can play well with others and NEVER reset through the settings menu, you can come back out and play. Make the same mistake twice and you have no idea what kind of hell will be bestowed upon you.
