[Q] Factory reset but stay rooted

I rooted my HTC EVO 4G with Unrevoked. Now I need to factory reset the phone but I still want it to be rooted? How do I do this?

What's your goal in factory wiping?
If you factory wipe a rooted phone I believe it will wipe out the ROM and your data and it will only boot to your bootloader.

Factory reset never unrooted my phone. I think root stays unless you want to unroot on purpose.

I'm selling it. I want to sell it rooted. I never installed a custom ROM, I kept the stock HTC Sense ROM.
Just hit factory reset in settings?

If the phone is rooted and you hit "factory reset" I'm pretty positive it will wipe everything including the ROM.
Why not just go into the recovery, wipe /data /system /boot /dalvik and /cache and then flash this?

Just wipe and flash a stock ROM. Boom.

Factory Reset will not remove the root. The superuser app as well as the root was flashed into the phone's factory state. Resetting only wipes user data, not system files, including the superuser app.

Now now, I didn't say it would remove the root.

All factory reset does is reset everything back to when you first installed whatever ROM you have. It basically erases all the data and settings. It won't delete the rom, nor will it unroot you.

It wipes /data which is why I suggest he does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15091602&postcount=5 so the whole thing is clear of any of his data and is running completely fresh.
Unless the OP has anymore questions, not to sound like a moderator, the thread's kinda over with.

So, just to be clear, hitting factory reset in Settings will delete all apps I downloaded and all data & settings for both downloaded and system apps then re-add the system apps plus SuperUser for root privileges?

It'll do all that but it won't re-add anything, the superuser app is in the /system and it wont touch that.
Best thing to do is the post where I link you.

Factory reset will leave you with the phone exactly how it would be bone stock. It will have root, but wont have Superuser. You should just flash Xhausx stock ROM and be done with it.

Yes it will, superuser is in the /system partition.

I pulled my skirt down and just did it (Factory data reset via Settings). Everything was deleted, system apps plus SuperUser was still there and the phone is still rooted (tested and confirmed). Thanks everyone!

Nah you're good, just acknowledging that I was wrong lol.

Got rooted, installed custom recovery, lost root, now i'm confused...

So I used the Auto CF root and all went well. Next, I went back into recovery and installed the TWRP Recovery though odin. It installed fine. After that I noticed I no longer had root and I can't figure out how to get it back. Supersu was still installed, it just wouldn't work.
At this point, i've tried redoing the root process a couple of times and it says that it worked fine, but doesn't do the job. Anyone got any ideas on what to do?
If anyone's curious, I started on totally stock OTA MF9.
Thanks

Just flash one of the stock rooted mf9 ROMs in the development thread pic one with no data wipe so you don't have to set everything up again.

Thanks for the tip. Downloading the odexed version of this. Slow download so almost 2 hrs left.
[ROM][ZIP]Stock Rooted Deodexed/Odexed MF9 with SuperSU/Busybox 1.20.2
Hopefully it works. I tried wiping cache and dlvik cache and now when i turn the phone on it just keeps giving errors that this and that app can't open so the phone is essentially unusable. Didn't think wiping cache would do that.

Yeah sometimes things just go screwy. Have you tried fixing permissions? While you wait for a download you can wipe cache davlik and fix permissions its in the advanced menu of twrp. The odexed with no data wipe should fix you up I would recommend wiping cache davlik and system before you flash it. If it still gives errors you may have to wipe the data also and start fresh. You can also try TWRP version 5.0.2 if you aren't on it there is a flashable in the dev forum also. Some people have reported issues with the newer version. I think you will be fine flashing that stock odexed ROM though.

Out of curiosity, would there be any danger in installing a custom rom while my phone is in this state? Downloading Blu Kuban Rom and it's going to finish much earlier than the stock rom. I know I would lose all my apps and need to reinstall those.

Nope no danger at all. In fact I recommend blu Kuban. Its a nice ROM. Just do a full wipe of system data cache davlik and preload before flashing to avoid issues. All the custom ROMs have root built into them so you should be good to go.

I tried installing supersu from the market. Next I even tried downloading it to my phone and loading the zip in recovery. No go both ways. I hoped wiping cache and delvick cache would help, but instead the phone is pretty much unusable now. It's really weird.

Here goes that frantic post. I installed the rom, worked fine. I did one of the updates for the status bar, now whenever it goes to boot it gets stuck at the samsung galaxy s4 screen. I've tried doing a full wipe, wiping cache and delvick cache and even trying to install the stock rooted rom or the blu rom on top of itself and i still get the same thing. Any ideas? I'm trying not to be too flash happy because I don't want a brick.

I finally got out of the boot logo. I looked around the forums and found someone with a similar problem. Seems the recovery wasn't deleting all the files for him so he deleted everything manually instead of just wiping. I did the same and installed triforce rom and it's booted now.
Just for future reference though, would you mind explaining or pointing me to where I can read about the battery pull trick?

Basically, quite a few people have recommended pulling the battery once frozen.
Even when you do a power off, you are NOT completely removing power from the system.
Disconnecting the power is the only way to accomplish this.

Need help/overwhelmed! Noob flashing to GPE 5.0.1?

Hi,
I want to install the ROM here on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). I rooted and installed CM on it about 4 months ago, but since have forgotten anything about the process except for towelroot lol. My phone is currently running jflte snapshot M10 ROM for CM. Unfortunately, I have grown quite sick of it as I find I have to restart my phone once, maybe twice a day for everything to run smoothly. I run into problems where the WiFi likes to get stuck saying 'Turning on..'. Ive also been having problems with Google Maps and GPS lately and havent been able to rely on it, possibly its an issue its having with CM. I want to have the fresh Lollipop feel on my phone without any problems if possible. The only trouble is I dont know how to get there. Can anyone help me? Ive completely forgotten the process needed and when I try to look for it on here I am overwhelmed with things I need to do, which version I need to use etc etc. If anyone would be able to help me achieve this it would be greatly appreciated. In the end I just want a nice Lollipop android phone that doesn't have problems on my current S4 (Id rather not have to get a new phone at least until December ) I'm pretty sure I dont have a custom kernel or anything like that as it mentioned in some pages that I will need to get one I think? I also have philz CWM installed.

You have Philz installed, so you don't need to root again. Download the ROM and follow the instructions on the page.

It also mentioned to make sure I have the latest modem for my variant, how do I check/update that?
In regards to the kernel (which has a link on the same page), what do I do with that?

I don't have the latest modem for my I9505 and that ROM works perfectly fine. Where you've been on a custom ROM for a while finding out which modem you're supposed to use may be difficult. That's also why I recommend not worrying about it, unless you need to.

Ok thanks. In regards to the kernel that is linked on the page, I guess I would be at an advantage if I downloaded and installed that too. How do I install it?

If' we're talking the same GPE ROM, and I think we are, the kernel is included in the ROM download. You'll be prompted to select a kernel when you run the install through the recovery.

Ok thanks a lot!
So process:
Backup data/photos etc
Nandroid backup
Full wipe using philz?
Flash ROM
Done?

You've got it.
When you are prompted to select the kernel, use the Googy Max kernel. The stock kernel sometimes causes random reboots. Also, on first boot the S4 will sit for a fair amount of time before prompting you to set a language. THIS IS NORMAL. It's because Android 5.0.x uses Art instead of Dalvik, and has to compile the apps the first time around.
In other words, after rebooting, just be patient.

No, they are gone forever.
How is that even possible that you wiped them? Wiping in the custom recovery never touches your internal storage by default. So you have done it yourself. You probably did a factory reset from within android itself. Never do that again. Use the custom recovery for wiping only and you never will have this problem again.

Are you sure about that? It happened the first time I flashed a ROM. Wiped cache, wiped Dalvik through CWM. Never did a factory reset. No need for caps.

No it's not possible for it to happen without you doing so. Unless you encrypted your phone or something.
ps removed the caps

The rom he installed has an aroma installer which offers the option to do a simple wipe (Dalvik, cache and data), no wipe (Dirty flash) and a factory reset (which also wipes the internal storage).
By default it is set on factory reset option.
It also says in red letters that this option is recommended.
So maybe he left it on factory reset (since it was also recommended) , instead of changing it to simple wipe, and that wiped the whole phone, including the internal storage.
Will a software that recovers deleted files not work? Since the phone wasn't encrypted.

It would if Windows saw the internal storage as a drive. Due to MTP it doesn't. He'll have to do a search, but there was another S4 owner who lost his photos and was trying to get them back. I don't know if a solution was ever found.

If that's the case then shame on the developer. A factory reset in a custom recovery should leave the internal storage intact.

No it's impossible. Once it's gone the files are permanently gone. Not even a professional company can restore them. That's because of TRIM that Android has from version 4.3.

It's not in the recovery. It's in the aroma installer. Those are 2 different things.
Besides, there is a description, under each setting, of what each one does.

@Lennyz1988: Perhaps you should bring this up with the developers of the ROM and see what they say. I suspect they have a very good reason for wiping the internal storage, and my gut instinct tells me it has to do with the Android folder on there.
On the flip side, thanks for the homework you gave me. I have to look into what TRIM is all about, as my last device was powered by Gingerbread.

Need FULL WIPE

Hi. I have the Galaxy S5. I updated it to the latest firmware which screwed my device. It is overheating for nothing. Many time I flashed back to stock roms but nothing's changed. I suspect there is still left in the device from the latest firmware "virus". I want to do full wipe. I heard wipe cache and wipe partition only delete user's data. Isn't there a way to start from FULL scratch? Thanks.

If you reflash your device and you do a full wipe from recovery, then your phones software should be like brand new. It might be a hardware issue.

No it doesn't delete everything. Because when I downgrade to KitKat from Lollipop, the power off battery animation is still from Lollipop, just for an example. That's why there is TWRP recovery (just discovered it) which allow you to delete the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. Since I am not rooted "yet", I am looking for an alternative for it. Anyone?

Why should TWRP or CMW recovery separately add System and Preload partitions options if not for a reason?

I think I have to root and lose my warranty. Damn you Samsung...

Because no OEM in their right mind is going to give people a device with a recovery capable of wiping the system partition, that's completely inane.

Yeah? What makes you think it is completely insane or insecure to do this? Are you saying TWRP developers (and others who put that choice to their recoveries) are stupid? Do you think they put that option just for hobby?

Jesus Christ, I'm saying giving that option to the average customer is stupid because they would delete their system partition, brick their phones and then blame the makers of the phone. Why do you think you break your warranty when you root or install custom software like TWRP?

Here is what I do so far:
Revert back to factory settings
Delete old app infos via Google
Wipe cache and full wipe via stock recovery
Flash full ROM via Odin
Root and custom recovery to wipe system, cache, dalvik, boot, simply anything can be erased
Yet nothing helped. Using KitKat 4.4.2 now and still have Lollipop animations that indicates there are datas AFTER all of those wipes. I'm absolutely furious!!!

Will my device be okay if I flash another country's stock ROM?

I can't understand this situation really: Why even after all those wipes I still end up with the Lollipop battery animation while I'm using KitKat (even very early builds)? Let me be clear: I am no against the Lollipop battery animation but it confirms some data are erase proof. And because of it, I think there is no way to get back the phone to its very roots. Is there a logical explanation for this or shall I stop trying by calling it Android's stupidity?

6P still bootlooping after flashing stock.

So i was going to downgrade from android 7.0 (DigitalHigh6P rom). I flashed the newest 6.0.1 factory images, but no matter what i do, it still bootloops. I have tried sideloading an ota file, wiped everything several times. My bootloader is unlocked (of course).
I never get to the android boot animation.
what do?

I had the same issue upon installing N with complete stock. My bootloader was unlocked. I had to boot into recovery, wipe everything (I did it multiple times to be sure) and then in recovery I powered off the device. With N still installed I setup the phone WITHOUT restoring ANYTHING from Google. Upon the initial setup menu I started like it was a brand new phone and I had no Google account. Set that all up later. That ended my bootloop problem.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi password backup was huge for me and now it's gone. Everything else while a hassle was manageable, I'm hoping when the factory image is released I can start over and sign into my account and have that data restored.

what did you use to update to N?

I was on the beta. I never flashed anything else. Like a dummy I had my adb commands backwards (was using adb instead of fastboot). Otherwise I would have reflashed MM.

Some other person had the exact same issue when going from 7.0 to 6.0.1
I will have to get a replacement. :/

same here.... guess this is the first brickable nexus device... the only thing that gets me to boot is if I flash N then flash the MM F vendor image, but it does not detect the sim card and camera don't work.

FragmentsOfLife said:
Okay, this is the method I used to fix my phone. The issue was the phone constantly alternating between the "Your device cannot be checked for corruption" screen and the white Google screen with the lock.
1. Flash a stock image (I used the August stock image MTC20F)
2. Fastboot flash TWRP 3.0.2-0
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Select Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select and repair each partition individually (some won't be able to, and that's fine, just move on to the next one)
5. Restore a full nandroid backup (make sure everything is selected) and reboot
6. You should now be free of the never ending boots, and if your device is bootlooped at this point (stuck at the boot animation), you can just flash stock again.
