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

Was mucking around and noticed in the bootloader there is an option that I haven't noticed in other bootloaders. 'Factory Reset'. Is this a standard reset or does that completely reinstall the stock rom? It would be amazing if HTC has included a complete reset in this newest bootloader.
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.
I've upgraded to 5.02, so now if I do a factory reset, will the phone load the kitkat it came with or lollipop?
Lollipop.
Thanks
in reply to factory reset
when you flash a custom recovery the phone deletes the old recovery and applies the new one, the only way to change that is to reflash the recovery with another rom or the stock rom
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.
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
