What do you mean by lose your bootloader? You won't lose it by doing a factory reset. If you're on stock it will bring you back to factory default settings and all apps and contacts will be lost. The contacts you will get back by signing into your Google account.

Do you mean root or recovery? There's no way to touch the bootloader as of yet...

You will be fine performing a factory reset. Make sure all your contacts are backed up with something like Google first or you will lose them all. The only way to remove all the ATT bloat is to root your phone and freeze it. I wouldnt recommend deleting anything off of the phone.

Un-Rooting G2x

I rooted my G2x using Super One Click and installed Titanium Backup Pro.
I now want to un-root it. The first time I tried to re-root using super one click I forgot to tick the USB Debugging and SOC froze. Unplugged it and rebooted and tried again but it seem like it didn't work 'cause it told me Super User was gone. So, I r-rooted it. Now everything is back to it's rooted stare along with Super User.
I want to un-root and do a factory data reset. I've unfrozen and restored all the apps I modified.
Before I try what steps do I go through to get my phone back to Factory settings?

[Q] Help please. Accidentally deleted Blinkfeed and phone won't boot

I was mucking around with Titanium Backup and froze (*not uninstalled) Blinkfeed. Unfortunately, this caused my phone to crash. Now it will not boot. I am able to get it into CWM recovery, but I never made a .zip to recover from and now I just feel stupid. Is there any way to recover this?
Am I able to do a factory reset in order to get the phone working again? (And also, will this remove my root) The data I'm not terribly concerned about. All important pictures have been backed up already and there are no documents that are dire. I just need a working phone.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

I would just put a rom zip onto a microSD and flash that.
Although I wouldn't have thought that freezing BlinkFeed would crash your phone and get it stuck in a bootloop, so what do I know?

Performed a factory reset and that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.
I'm going to look into flashing a rom but that is something I haven't done before and I'm not too comfortable with it.
Do you have any suggestions? I just want to keep the standard stuff (what it was shipped with). I was mainly rooting to get rid of bloatware and have a bit more freedom.
EDIT: Rebooted a second time and the factory reset seems to have taken hold. I'm back at square one but it is far better than nothing.
EDIT2: Not quite back at square one as my backup through Titanium Backup still existed and I was able to utilize that. Lost some contacts, call history, and texts. That's all!

Glad to hear that you were able to fix it. If you ever need a stock Sense rom, I would recommend CleanRom. Watch out though, its really easy to become a flashaholic

i did the same thing : )

Or run the stock s-on ruu which doesn't wipe.

[Q] Factory resetting my rooted phone

I rooted my Xperia L 2-3 months back. Recently the phone has been getting stuck at screen off very often. I have a hunch that a factory reset will solve the problem (as it has happened once already).
However, I'm worried that since it is rooted, a factory reset might cause problems. Is it safe to do a factory reset? Has anyone tried this? I don't want to backup any apps or anything, I'm fine with losing app data. I just want a fully functional phone.
Also, I'm still using Android 4.1. Can I update to 4.2 on a rooted phone?

Yea you can factory reset your rooted phone !

Will a ROM reflash reset the phone to an out of the box state and reset hidden menu(4636) settings?

Hi,
I'm in the process of trying to flash my phone back to stock because I messed some stuff up in the hidden menu. I've never really messed with any of this stuff before, but it seems like Sony offers all the tools I need and it seems straight forward. I have a couple of questions, though. Will flashing the binary found at this link reset the phone to completely out of the box condition and will it function as if I never messed with anything? Will it function as if it's 100% stock and still receive updates normally?
I've wasted my entire afternoon trying to figure out how to factory reset this menu and I'd like for the phone to just back to how it was out of the box.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.
The phone is a Sony Xperia 5 IV, btw.

A Factory Reset only removes all apps added by user and user-data.
Hence reflash Stock ROM.

Thanks for the reply. I assumed that the rom reflash would reset everything, but I've seen posts on here saying that a rom reflash didn't reset that menu and I'm not sure which is accurate. So, would reflashing the rom actually reset those settings?
