ya ofcourse there is a diff between formating c drive and a master reset . format c drive will remove all app installed on ph+all system files and oprating system too..... so if u r going for format c:\ then get ready for a updated version r2f coz u will have to go to SE ppl  |

Well now there are two contradicting answers.
If i do a "Format Internal Drive" will it remove all app installed on ph+all system files and oprating system too, and then i have to go to SE to get it fixed?
Or if If i do a "Format Internal Drive" it will restores it back like new with none of the crap left on, basically as i got the phone new??
If i wanted to start from scratch, not restore any backups, basically make the phone new as i got it on Day 1, is it better to format internal drive or a master reset?

Dont worry u can do a master reset or a format both will gave u same results dont be afraid of loosing ur system files cause they are on the rom drive wich u cant reset nor format so ur phone will be clean and up and running

Yes u wil erase all data from ur c:(internal drive) and if u wish from ur d:(Duo drive) but not from ur a:(Rom drive) and z:(olso Rom drive) after the format of c: when the phone starts it will put back all files needed from the rom drive and u wil end up with a nice clean as new phone
and before u ask have u done it yes i have done it already twice just to end up with a nice and clean system with all residue files removed

Thanks for your answers 
I had traded my T610 for a P800 with a friend we both used the phone for 1 month so we exchanged them, so i wanted to start from scratch, and customise the phone the way i wanted it so this really helped, will try to format mine tomrow when i get it from the service center as i have given it tp upgrade to R2f |

Then there is no need for a format cause the upgrade will bring it into as new condition allthough i noticed that after a upgrade still the old dialup inet settings i had where there but everything else was nice and clean

So we from the above all discussion we concluded that there is no difference between Master reset and format internal drive (C:\) .
Anyone knows how can i save my Autosetup messages?
I am talking bout the OTA messages ... !
i have 3 ota messages and want to save them ! |

yes there is .....format completly removes all ( exept operating software ) and reset leaves bits of apps etc on your phone.....try it ...install a program ...do a master reset ...check phone with file manager and there you will find some of the files from the app you installed... |
