I updated with the RUU and am now rooted ( have soff). If I perform a factory reset, will my phone still be rooted with s off running 2.2?

it should stay rooted and S-off stays as well. su and the su app are put on the system folder so it would not be cleared with a factory reset.
Factory reset formats your DATA so you lose all downloaded apps and data associated with those apps and settings you made on your phone.

after I rooted the SGS, if I factory reset the SGS, will this make it unrooted?
It should, because rooting just modifies the system settings/kernel. If you reflash the firmware, it will wipe these files
will the root be gone if i factory reset my mytouch 4g?
Yes. Everything Will be wipe, superuser too.
Wrong. Actually, no. Not at all.
Factory reset wipes the /data partition, which holds user data.
Superuser resides on /system partition, which isn't wiped, and the fresh system after wipe will retain root access. Superuser app might be installed on /data, but the actual SU file will be on /system.
To remove root, you need to unroot - or flash non-rooted stock ROM.
Right, "factory" reset is a bit of a misnomer on Android.
There is no backup of the factory firmware if you have modified your system partition.
But if you flash a full RUU or PD15IMG.zip of the stock ROM, then yes you will lose root. However if you still have Radio S-OFF, you will still be able to flash unsigned images through the bootloader.

What ROM do you have? This all depends on the current ROM you have. If you did not update your ROM, then you will lose root. If you only updated your ROM and did NOT update your recovery, you could ruin your device potentially by selecting that option from within the phone or the stock recovery.
However, if you have a custom (probably rooted already) ROM and you have a recovery like clockworkmod recovery installed, then go ahead and wipe away. You can also clear just your cache, dalvik and many other stuff, the menu has a lot of options.
As per thread title, I was wondering if performing a factory reset removes root? I do not yet have a custom recovery, and the local stock KitKat OTA update is going out soon. I was considering holding off on the custom recovery and taking the OTA update, but my understanding is that doing so rooted will cause problems so I'm not about to try.
Basically, just how "reset" is the "factory reset" - and do the factory reset options in the Settings>Backup and Reset do the same thing as the Factory Reset from Power+VolDown boot?
root stays
Um, I'm pretty sure you lose root.
Your phone gets reset to factory default, which is no root...
And yes, it's the same as doing it from stock recovery or from the settings
I have a P550 tablet, using Odin i installed stock Rom but it did not format, it did not delete everything in it. Using stock recovery factory reset does not work either.
School It managers disabled entering settings, so i guess they did something to tablet not format inside but i flash Rom still cant format it. How can i fresh install stock Rom?

Just factory reset in recovery. That's all you need to do to go back to factory fresh.
You dont need to do anything else, not sure what you're expecting other than that?

I learned there is a security program, wmware watch in the tablet, it does not permit to factory reset. I can flash Rom but i dont know why flashing rom does not erase things.

I've never heard of such a thing and there's no reason for it to exist. Are you sure you have used factory reset in recovery?
Flashing a rom does not wipe the data partition.
You need to factory reset in recovery to do this.

Mdm does not allow factory reset. Google this.
Factory reset does not work. I can use odin all i need is if its possible to format using odin.

Yes I'm aware of mdm, but have only ever come across this on demo devices.
But that's not what you posted.
Also it is only stock recovery that implements mdm.
If you install twrp then factory reset using twrp it will remove the restriction.
That is the only way I know how. However this may require OEM unlock enabled, of which it seems you can't do.
Hello,
I am currently running Nuclear Rom 7.1.2 on my zuk z1 with TWRP recovery. What if I do factory reset of my phone, will the phone stays the same with rom, gapps and super su and all the data will be wiped
OR
it will remove the root and get the phone back into its proper shape
OR
will it brick my device
I am asking if I do factory reset from Settings -Back up and reset - Factory reset
I am selling my phone in the market so want to confirm that what would be the scenario if I wipe my data like that

Better to flash it again and wipe all data
