If I perform factory reset, do I have to re-root the phone?
What would be the best way to get rid of everything which would not require a re-root?
Just wipe data/cache and reboot you should be fine.

Will a factory data reset (done from the actual phone) unroot the phone?
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.

If you can get into the phone's settings you can try uninstalling / reinstalling Launcherpro
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
So is there any difference between a factory reset from the settings or the factory reset from the recovery? Talking about stock here.
Nope, both are going to wipe all the user and system data.
