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

Hi, So today i decided i wanted to go back to stock rom because i had a custom rom and custom kernel.
I factory reset my Nexus 4 and now it's stuck at the Google Boot screen. I also have a custom recovery (TWRP). I've tried wiping data (cache,dalvik cache) didn't work. I've looked everywhere but couldn't find a solution for this. Please help. Thanks in advance.
PS. Custom rom i was using was Paranoid Android 9.8
Custom kernel was Franco Nightly.
a factory reset doesnt replace your rom/kernel, it just wipes your user data. you have to flash the factory img via fastboot to go back to stock. anyways, i have a feeling that you made an error in twrp recovery, instead of factory resetting/wipe data, i bet you wiped your whole device, which clears your device of any rom/kernel. so youd have to flash a rom(transfer from your desktop via adb push or flash the factory img).
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 want to Flash Sammy Rom, which is 4.4.2 Based, but my phone is updated to 4.4.4? Will I be able to flash the rom like I normally flash any other or is there another process?

Sammy Rom is a TW ROM. If you're coming from an AOSP ROM you will want to do a factory reset in you're recovery.
First, make a backup from your recovery in case you don't like the new ROM or you have issues. After you have made your backup do a factory reset. After you factory reset flash the new ROM.
You can backup apps with Titanium Backup or something similar if you want to try and restore them on your new rom. (may not work)
Good Luck!

Okay because I'm coming from liquidsmooth. If I do a factory reset, then will that wipe my internal memory?

I think he is mixing up some words. He means to wipe your device in the custom recovery, not to factory reset it.

So clean wipe, then flash like normal. So 4.4.2 will not create an issue on my S4 because it's on 4.4.4?

Yes do a clean wipe as you say. Inside ROMs it is sometimes called a "Factory data reset" or something along those lines. It is the same thing in the end.
Thanks guys.

how do delete this virus?
If it were my phone, I would perform a factory reset or flash a stock ROM and reset before booting the ROM for the first time.
I can still boot into twrp but can't get OOS to run. It's asking for a factory reset but don't I have to be in OOS to do that?
You need to flash stock firmware and wipe via stock recovery, backup userdata first
I figured it out, thanks.
