I'm experiencing some slow browser problems and I'm wondering if a factory reset will fix this. Before I do this I need to confirm that I won't lose root. Is this the case?
Thanks
I did a factory reset a couple days back, you wont lose root. You will need to reinstall the superuser app again for it to work

If you did the modified the build.prop, you need to change it back to factory build.prop first.

hi,
Ive currently got prime installed and im selling it. Will a factory reset in the settings be enough?
I dont want my data still leaking about.
Thanks
Rather unroot and flash a factory ROM if possible. But factory reset is eniugh, Be sure you remove everything from your internal storage first

Noobish Question but when factory reset is mentioned, does it mean factory reset from the settings or from the options before the cold boot occurs?
Also, is there a way I can keep my data even through the reset? e.g. my dark Meadows save file, can I copy everything onto an sd card and then copy it back into the internal storage after the reset?
Device isn't overly slow but gapps keeps crashing and the browser ain't too fast, especially in terms of javascript. Also do get some lag

Both factory resets are exactly the same. If you're rooted, you can back up your data with Titanium, move the Titanium folder to a hard drive or SD card and then back to the tablet.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately i'm not rooted so i'm guessing i'm gonna lose all my data?
Is there a way to speed up internet/ javascript in browser?

You could use the Asus AppBackup app to back up the data instead of Titanium. You won't need root for that.

Wouldn't factory reset remove that data?

Not if you check "copy backup to external sd"

Would that be a bad idea though? As in,would restoring data make the factory reset less effective?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
It may. The point is to use the tablet a bit before restoring anything to make sure the factory reset worked. If the factory reset fixes your problem, reinstall the apps without the data. If you still don't have problems, restore the data. If you start experiencing problems again, just start over, and this time, don't restore any data. If you don't experience more problems, you're good to go.
Hello everyone,
When I first got my TF300T I rooted it, and then turned on the encryption under settings. Later I unlocked it because I wanted to switch to Cyanogen Mod.
I managed to install clockworkmod recovery, but then discovered that it could not detect my card. After doing some research I realized the encryption was interfering.
I've been ripping my hair our here because it looks like there is no way to remove the encryption. I also cannot perform a factory wipe. No matter what I do nothing seems to effect the encrypted data.
Is there any way to remove the encryption, wipe the data, anything? I'm not concerned with the data already on my tablet, I plan to wipe it anyway so just wiping the encrypted data is fine.
Please somebody have an answer for this problem.
Dave

I have seen others with encryption problems on Asus tablets who ended up doing an RMA process to correct this issue. I am sure there is a way to completely wipe the tablet, however I will leave that to someone here with more knowledge.
Have you tried a factory reset on it yet?
Yes I have. Neither the factory reset under settings nor clockwork recovery is able to touch the encrypted data.

Here you are, found this on google. Maybe some of the information in here could help you out!

I had similar problem. After several tries of factory reset, encryption was gone and then I could install CM.
I can confirm a factory data wipe will remove the encryption.

Hmm... several tries?
Could the fact that I installed clockwork recovery be messing with the factory reset?

I had to wipe ALL memory from the tablet. Including Internal Memory, but it worked. Next I had to flash new recovery and rom via fastboot and adb.
Worked for me
Booting into the ROM and selecting "erase user data" worked for me. The "erase user data" might not be the exact wording, but there isn't any other option closely worded that way. You can't miss it. Thanks for the help!:victory::highfive:
Cold booting seems to make it worse and a regular reboot only makes it run faster for a little while. Any ideas?

The best way to deal with issue like this, is backup your stuff, do a factory reset (twice) then reflash the full Asus firmware. If issue resolved then slowly restore or reinstall your download apps.
I agree with solution. My tablet turned into complete molasis after 4.2.1 update.
I then back up my apps+data and factory reset the tablet.
It erased everything that was on the Internal storage and reset the tablet back to fresh brand-new 4.2.1 state.
Things are running much better now.
Wish I had backed up the files I had in the Pictures and Videos folders of Internal Storage that were lost in the reset, but oh well.
If you have a rooted tablet and you do the factory reset will you keep root? (not unlocked or able to get to recovery, just rooted with rootkeeper installed as well).

Yes it should. However, if you lose root on JB, not a problem anymore. This tool can root your device while on JB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 , remeber to uninstall any left over root before using the tool.

It is possible if you follow the process properly but you can root 4.2.1, so if OTA root keeper dont work you can still root.

The factory reset will help just make sure EVERYTHING is backed up. apps by titanium, and you internal storage to mSD card or to a computer.

Any word on how your Infinity came out after factory reset. Did it turn out to be faster?

I did the full wipe and everything is running much quicker. I tried to back everything up with the Carbon app to assist with the restore but the app couldn't see the backup after the reset. Doh.

TF700t running slow fix
I'm at 4.2.1 and experienced all the issues that have been document here and elsewhere. I was on the verge of trying to put in a one of the third party ROMs, but decided to give the factory reset a chance. Backed up the data using the Asus app to my microSD and removed it. Did the three time reset recommended and on the third try went through the setup. All my old apps were captured from the Play Store and then I installed the program/data backup on top of that. So far the tablet is now working without the long lags in using Chrome or just typing this reply. One of the games I backed-up was restored to the current game point. I would highly recommend doing the Factory Reset option (recommended is three times) to see if you can recover some of the speed in the tablet. Mine did and given I invested in the keyboard, I was not interested in making the move to say the Samsung Tab Pro and the expense involved.

Yes you have just cleaned you /data partition. It will eventually come back and without unlocking and installing a rom that supports trim there is not much you can do......

Thanks for the inside info. I'll keep an eye on it and if it reverts, I'll go to plan B and install a new ROM. So there are no tools like a defrag for SSD that you fix the problem in Android other than through the ROM? Seems like it would be something that would be very useful.

There are yes - lagfix on the play store will trim the file system. You need to be rooted though.
I am rooted on a droid Maxx. I backed up phone to the laptop and wanted to try the new remote factory reset. It didn't work, I then proceeded to do it manually. Still didn't work. Wondering if this is a known issue and how do I fix it.

Fastboot flash the stock recovery. Take a peak in the thread about rooting your phone.
