Factory Reset with unlocked bootloader - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have a droid razr m with an unlocked bootloader 4.4.2 stock Kitkat.
My question is, can I factory reset within settings menu? Will this brick the phone?
If I shouldn't factory reset with the settings menu, what is the best way to factory reset the phone? I am somewhat new to this scene. I just want to factory reset the stock kitkat that came with the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Personally, I think the best option for FDR is doing it in recovery.

Towelroot, Factory Reset and knox

Hey guys,
so I wanna factory reset my note 3 N9005 Stock TW:
My phone is rooted with Towelroot but still runs the Stock Touchwiz Kitkat which the phone was released with.
I wanna know what happens if I factory reset my phone from the config. Does it still gonna be rooted afterwards?
And if so, how do I unroot it?
It's still Knox 0x0 and showing official status, and I dont wanna change that.
Appreciate your help!

Remove MDM on SM-N910F using Lollipop 5.0.1

Hello,
I just upgraded my demo unit of Note 4 (SM-N910F) to Lollipop 5.0.1.
Now I want to hard reset the unit. I get the message: "MDM does not allow factory reset". I have tried using the CF-Auto-Unit without luck.
How can I reset it?
Thx!
A quick search on Google learned me that this is most likely because it is a demo unit and Samsung does not like you resetting a specially prepared unit.

Seems like rooting and installing a custom recovery is the best way to go for you, or you could just ask Samsung very nicely

I think I have to wait for a correct Lollipop version for CF-Auto-Root before I can continue.
And yes I agree, I don't think that Samsung want me to do it.

Flash the TeamWin Project TWRP recovery to the phone. It fixed it for me.

What if we go back to stock recovery does it show again the same message when we factory reset mdm not allow to reset is there any permenent solution.
MDM denies factory reset? Install "RETAIL MODE", uninstall, and try again.

Guys, I'm *WAY LATE* on this, but maybe it'll help someone else. I've got a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V that has the "MDM Deny" problem -- it seems to have been a demo unit flashed to 5.0 and then sold. I fixed this problem without rooting by (of all things) installing the "US GALAXY NOTE 3 RETAIL MODE" from the Play Store. [Note: THIS IS THE STORE LOCKDOWN APP.) After installing, I ran it BUT DIDN'T ENTER THE PASSWORD TO ACTIVATE, and then canceled. The service was still running in the pull-down window; I clicked on it to disable and then uninstalled the app.
The upshot of this was: next time I attempted to reset the MDM denial was gone and I was able to reset successfully. If you're trying to get root and can't do a factory reset in order to get there from here, try this.

#1: you cannot un-trip knox.
#2: you do not have to un-root the phone either.
Your warranty will still be good, just do a "Factory Data Reset"
which is under the phones settings.
By doing a factory data reset the phone will no longer be rooted
and any apps which you have installed will be wiped out.
A Factory Data Reset will also wipe all your personal info like your
music, pictures, video and passwords as well.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Unlocked s5 active/factory reset

Will factory resetting my newly unlocked phone kill the unlock code and relock it? Reason that I want to do a factory reset is because my phone is getting really laggy and slow.

[PROBLEM] Rooted > Flashed to U Firmware > Soft Brick > Flashed back to Verizon FW

[PROBLEM] Rooted > Flashed to U Firmware > Soft Brick > Flashed back to Verizon FW
Hi, relatively new to this, so sorry in advance if I made some obvious mistakes, but my phone is now soft bricked and I can't find a solution.
1) I was on Nougat
2) Rooted with Odin to remove Verizon bloat
3) Didn't really change much, still had MMS issues etc
4) Did a the deep verizon debloat. Started getting an endless message 'IMS Service has stopped'
5) Decided to flash U Firmware to get a non-Verizon, unrooted starting point. Used HOME_CSC to keep data
6) Soft bricked phone (didn't finish install and was stuck on a boot menu with the message 'dm-verity verification failed' )
7) Flashed back to a previous version of Verizon firmware, again, HOME_CSC - (G935VVRS4APH1_CL8875708_QB10880117_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.zip). (Did this twice now, once with PrinceCosmy Odin)
8) Install went well, Verizon logo on boot.
9) Soft brick #2 - I'm being asked for a password to decrypt storage...I set no password for this. So I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance, any support is much appreciated!
The PH1 firmware is very old. You might have better luck flashing to QF2. Honestly, your best bet is to boot into recovery to do a factory reset, then start over completely. That will clear the decryption issue. Then look at the QF2 ROM in this forum.

Thanks! I was hoping to not have to reset, but have recently backed it won't be a big deal.
I have two other questions though
a) how do I know which firmware is QF2? (the device was originally on MM but through smart switch I upgraded to Nougat)
b) what's the process for the factory reset? I'm trying via the recovery menu and it isn't working (the MM 6.0.1/ G935UUES4AQC1 install)
Thanks
(UPDATE - OK so I went back to the U firmware, and from that boot menu selected 'Wipe Partition/Cache'. Also did a factory reset which looked like it failed. Still couldn't boot phone though. However I went back to the verizon firmware and there was no passcode prompt now. Phone is factory reset to 6.0.1.
Should I go to QF2 now?
How can I get to a non-verizon firmware?)
OK, I've solved everything I mentioned above by doing as suggested,
I think I had a partition of something somewhere that was no good.
1 - Factory Reset from boot menu (after wiping partition/cache)
2 - Flashed PH1
3 - Verizon bloatware reinstalled and was loading phone properly
4 - Did a factory reset from here via settings
5 - After factory reset, Flashed QC1 w/out HOME_CSC
6 - Now booting properly with a clean(ish), non-Verizon firmware.
I'm still interested in removing as much bloat as possible from Samsung, and am constantly being harassed notified that my Nougat update is downloaded and ready to install!
Hope that helps someone!
