That is the root the phone has. I bought this phone used, but I want to sell it and rebuy the t-mobile version so I can get wifi calling again.
So I want to know if I can do the standard phone reset in the settings option without having to worry about anything. Can I just do it without having to reroot the phone or do anything? I really don't know much when it comes to rooting, so I want to make sure doing a reset via settings wouldn't deroot the phone or brick it.
Thanks.

Ive had a rooted phone for quite some time and i have never used the option to reset my phone in the settings menu.
But if you want the phone back to stock and unrooted you should use SuperSU to fully unroot your phone then do a factory reset/data/and calvic wipe on the phone.

I just want to do a basic reset so someone new can use it. I basically just want to know if it's fine to do the reset in the settings and if it'll leave it rooted.
You can just boot to recovery and do a factory reset and I would also wipe the internal SD card.

The factory reset in settings should work too but you would still want to delete everything on the internal SD too.

Hey guys, i just want to be careful here with the settings
If i factory reset my phone, how do i restore back up without wiping out my previous zune sync back up? Coz it seems if i plug it in now, it will say do you want to sync this phone....and may replace my previous phone sync settings
Thanks

Just make a backup using this app to be sure.
However, Zune will update your phone, it doesn't replace stuff.
For example, I've reset my phone 3-4 times and it never replaced my old photos, although the counter is the same
ok...so what if i changed to another phone of the same model... could i still use the original backup?
If not, are there ways to port a backup from one phone to another? (of the same model)

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.
So I'm S-off, Firewater, SuperSU, CWM, stock software, I have not loaded a ROM, fastboot flashed the nohbootimg firmware update, added the HTC browser, and flashed the OTA-killer.
Can I do a Factory reset without it messing something up? I'm having 3 issues that I want to see if a reset will fix, one is my alarm clock keeps turning itself off, another issue is that when I turn the phone on it seems to take a long time to "Prepare Sim card" , and the last issue is that I get a email "login failed" notice which is poping up before the phone starts seeing the data connection.
Thanks

If you are simply stock and rooted... you can factory reset using CWM without any issue.
Worst case scenario if you are backed up...

Since you have not installed a ROM I would think a factory reset would be a good first step. You will probably lose some if the customization you have done, but I wouldn't think you would lose root or anything like that. I believe a reset will just wipe the data partition ( maybe dakvik and cache as well).

Thanks! Just curious, I'm trying to learn as fast as I can , how does CWM reset differ from the the stock one?
And do you think that the CWM reset could help with the issues?

They both typically wipe the same partitions however the stock recover also resets some radio elements which is why you will always see me suggest to someone with radio issues to do a factory reset from stock recovery.

I used the reset in CWM and I'm going through the setup now, I guess we'll see if this helps. Thanks guys!!!
Well the alarm is staying on so far and I'm not getting the email login failure but I think I lost my CWM, guess I'd better reload it.
Interesting, I can't seem to get into my hboot mode? hmmmm
nevermind, I'm a dolt, forgot to turn off fast boot and I Still have CWM but when I select reboot I get a message "Root access possibly lost. Fix?" Anyone know what this could mean? Should I Pick "Yes - Fix Root" . I'd assume so, what the heck lets see what happens. lol
My phone (Note 3) was stuck at Samsung logo so I couldn't remove or backup my data first.
Can he use any software to backup my data & steal them from recovery or download modes?
I never changed USB debugging settings. And didn't root my phone either.
I removed the SD card first, it was empty.
So can data be stolen from internal memory by ADB or something?
Sorry I'm really not experienced in this..
The guy took 1 hour to flash the rom twice as he said and it failed. It keeps stuck at Samsung logo again.
I only could get a glimpse of android upgrading screen after 20 minutes or so..but I don't know if he used anything to steal my data before flashing the phone.
After it failed i took the phone, tried flashing it with different roms by odin and it fails too after the android upgrading process. I had to factory reset and it worked after losing everything of course.
Only I'm worried about stealing my data as professionalism & conscience aren't the favorite things in my country unfortunately
Waiting for your help
Thanks a lot!
He can steal anything photos call logs messages anything if he wqntes. And by the conditions he flashed a rom for a different varient or a moded one.
Another possibility occurs that he fooled you by backing up your old firmware and then flashed it.
And yes he can steal anything.

No, they flashed official, it only bootlooped because of old conflicting data from the previous installation, that's why doing a factory reset made it work without bootlooping, factory reset removed the conflicting data and allow the device to boot properly.

If all you had was stock recovery and download mode then no, he couldn't steal your personal data.
ADB doesn't work with stock recovery on Samsung and it doesn't work with download mode. Your data should be safe.

You didn't had a Custom Recovery?Sorry I Didn't took that in account.You are absolutely right adb Don't work on Stock.

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?
