Hello there,

I would like to reset my Raspberry Pi 2 to the factory settings. Is there any easy way to do this? If so, would you be able to kindly describe to me how to do this?

Any help you could provide with this would be most appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jamie

What distro are you running?

If it's openelec, then SSH (wiki) in and do:

Code:

mv /storage/.kodi /storage/kodi-old

and reboot. Afer this all addons and settings are gone and you have done a factory reset.

Be aware, that this will only work for OpenELEC. Don't know the folder structure for other RPI distros.

Code:

mv ~/.kodi ~/.kodi-old

should work on any Pi distribution I'm aware of.

OpenELEC has a reset option in the openelec settings

Hi Guys,

Thank you so much for your replies.

I can confirm that it is set up on OpenELEC. I am trying to return my raspberry pi 2 to eBay which I purchased 2 days ago. I have set it up, but am not happy with it, so would like to send it back. However, because I am sending it back, I would like to reset settings to what they would have been when I received it.

What I purchased was exactly the same as the following:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vilros-Raspberry...berry+pi+2

So I have something called NOOBS pre-installed, so would obviously like to leave this on there, but reset everything else.

If I do hard reset like video in post above from popcornmix suggests, will this achieve what I want?

Many thanks,
Jamie

Is there anything specifically you're not happy with? Maybe someone here could help you out if it's a software-related issue.

If it happens to be related to Kodi, depending on the problem, you might also have better luck with another distro (like Xbian, Arch Linux ARM, etc).

Of course you're right ....always forgot about the ~
