How do you hard reset and/or wipe & return to factory settings ?
thanks
Settings/About/Reset
Hard Reset ( Warning this also wipe and format SD Card)
Hard Reset
Power off device
Power on holding down up / down volume buttons
Follow the screen instructions or just press the down volume button.
Defo some software bugs here as I had a checksum error when I did this the first time.

I bought a used N1 and started setting it up before I realized the volume up/down rocker doesn't work. I set up a return with the seller but I would like to do a factory reset first since I set up my mail and stuff.
I have searched around and couldn't come up with a way to factory reset that didn't involve using the volume up/down to navigate.
Anybody know of a way to factory reset without the volume up/down? Can I use the Android SDK adb.exe?
Thanks in advance for any help...
With the phone turned off, press and hold Trackball+Power+Vol down until you see a white screen with 3 Android on skateboards. Select recovery from the menu and clear data.
I can get to the recovery screen via adb reboot recovery but the Volume UP AND the Volume Down buttons aren't working so I can't select anything!!!
Anyone know of another way to reset?

Soft Reset, hard reset, etc...

I want to clean the device after testing it so it will be clean when it is given as a gift.
Put it back in the state as it was (hard reset).
Possible in the menu (Settings/Privacy), or: Take the sim out, and than *2767*3855#
can someone tell me the difference between hard reset and soft reset

guys can you also tell me in which reset i will get the note as it was out of the box
also please tell me when i do this reset my current stock rom (LB2) will be revereted to kl3 or i will be in lb2
i am noob
thanks
Soft reset is nothing just removing background application/process. As you just reboot your device.
Hard reset, wipe off your data, n will b just as out of box.
you can do with
1. setting - privacy - factory data reset (if you select format USB storage, then only data on USB storage will be wiped, as such no needed)
2.From recovery, Vol up + home + power - select wipe data
Hard reset won't revert back to previous ROM, it will same ROM which is you have right now. To revert back to old ROM, you need PC Odin.

Talking about the hard reset method:
How to hard reset a Sony Xperia Z3
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons simultaneously.
Then press and hold the power key (while you are still holding the volume up and down buttons).
The device will enter Recovery Mode, release the buttons once this happens.
You can navigate up and down with the volume keys, while the power button can be used to select an option.
Select the “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” option and then press “Yes”.
After that, simply press on the “Reboot system now” option.
Your phone will restart and be ready for action!

Say I delete the "stock" pictures/videos that came with the phone. Will they be restored if I do a hard reset as mentioned in the quote above?

no iirc. if u clear internal storage, preloaded media wont be restored.
I am getting errors on my phone and want to factory reset. What is the best method to do this? I have rooted developer edition.
There's always factory reset on the settings menu. Or use RSD Lite to flash the current firmware.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
I've never had great success with the Factory Reset in the settings menu.
I would use the option in Recovery. Turn the phone off and enter recovery by holding Power and VOL DOWN for about 4-5 seconds. Release and navigate with VOL DOWN button. If you go past an option, keep tapping VOL DOWN to cycle through again. VOL UP is "enter", power shuts the phone off.
Press VOL Down to get to Recovery and then press VOL UP to select it. Your phone will boot into recovery and you will see a dead android icon (chest open). When you see this, press both VOL UP and VOL DOWN together and release. You will then see options in recovery for performing a factory reset.

Several ways...
Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Data Reset
Boot the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode, from the PC... fastboot erase userdata
Boot into recovery, and reset from there (in TWRP its under Wipe)
Thanks, had to flash stock because the other methods still left phone with issues.
That's what I always do. Wipe everything in fastboot, flash in fastboot.
