Factory Data Reset

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

[D803] Does doing a factory reset remove root? (applied via IORoot22)

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

Factory reset

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

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

Help needed regarding factory reset

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

Better to flash it again and wipe all data

How to factory reset?

Hi,
I have TMobile version rebranded to international version.
Right now, I'm on 9.0.13, root, TWRP.
I want to factory reset everything to try xXx on clean install.
Do I just do factory reset via settings or through TWRP?
Can someone tell me the steps before I start experimenting and possibly brick the phone?
Thanks.
