Factory reset wipes all his files, apps, and data. You will have to reinstall all of them. Any photos he had on the phone are gone There is no way to recover them

If he had back up set, Google will restore some stuff when starting phone up and entering Google account.
Apps at least.
Good luck.

I am probably going to have to return my N5 due to issues with the GPS not working all the time. My phone is not rooted. What then is the safest and easiest way to backup everything? And will a factory reset afterwards be enough to protect my data from being accessed while the phone is in for repair? It is an unroofed phone.

Helium backup (available in Play) is good for backing up user apps and its data, can be used on rooted and not rooted devices.
I would just copy your SD card using GDriveSync to Google Drive. It can sync which folders you choose.
That's a couple of great ideas. Thanks.
Just checking,if I do a factory reset will that be enough to protect my data from being seen?

If you do it through the Settings app, I think so, yes.
But don't quote me on it, haven't tried it personally.

Settings app uses recovery to factory reset. And stock recovery wipes everything in /data

Sorry, I don't quite understand. If I go Settings>Backup and reset>Factory Data Reset. Is that enough? What is the Stock recovery?
Yes.

Ah, sorry, just re-read your reply and it makes sense now! Thanks!
Hi All,
I did a factory reset on my unrooted Nexus 5 & lost all my videos after doing that.
I am running 5.0 now & the phone functions normally.
I am specifically looking for video files for which I forgot to take a backup.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
Just videos? Or your files and sdcard storage in general?
Just video files.. Everything else was backed up before the factory reset.
Man, sorry to say but I think your videos are gone if you forgot to back them up :/
I have rooted my Nexus 5 on lollipop 5.0 and installed Cyanogen Mod 12.1 using CWM. However, I desperately need some files which were present before I performed my hard Factory Reset. I know I should have made a backup, but i really thought I had made a backup of the audio files before the hard factory reset. Is there any way I can recover them ? Kinda desperate here. Please let me know.

I don't know why it does it but I think a factory reset fixes it. There are quite a few threads about it.

ok, it seem like i have to do a factory reset. i think i will wait til i get my new nexus 6p.
btw, since i hae backup app on titanium backup and store inside the phone. Does anyone know factory reset will wipe the phone data?
because my nexus 5 showing 14gb instead of 32gb. I heard a factory reset will help the problem. I just dont know which factory reset (recovery or in setting) to do.
but if i use twrp wiping cache, data and dalvik (leaving system and internal storage alone).... will it wipe my lollipop os too? will it wipe my storage too?
what is the different between the factory reset under setting and the factory reset under twrp?
sorry for so many questions....

If you hadn't made a backup, it's really gone, forget it my bro.
If you had google photos app, theres a chance that they got automatucally backedup to google's cloud. After factory reset (if the device was encrypted) the decrypt key is gone.
