good afternoon,
A quick question-is there a difference between the two? Meaning, does the bootloader factory reset wipe the phone more than going in to settings and factory resetting from there?

Okay, so what I was wondering is would a hard reset delete the settings? Since I had my Imagio flashed to cricket from the cricket store...
Please help,
thanks....
A hard reset deletes EVERYTHING and restores your phone to factory settings. So, if your phone was not originally on Cricket's network, then those settings will be deleted.

What about a soft reset? and which is the hard and soft reset?
.....a soft reset is powering your phone off, then powering it back on.
..a hard reset is wiping EVERYTHING from your phone and restoring to the way it was out of the box.
So my screen is clicking on the left side and I'm going to have to return my N7 tomorrow, is doing the factory reset from the settings a sufficient wipe to prepare for this and remove all personal data or would it be better to reflash the entire stock 4.1 OS somehow? Thanks.
If you want to be extra safe follow the procedure to reimage with stock 4.1 image.
Whats the difference bethween soft reset and hard reset?
There is no bad choises. Only bad results.
In most cases
Soft reset - reinstall without data loss
hard reset - reinstall wiping all data
