Before I do factory reset, I removed the root under SuperSU settings.
But unfortunately, when I try to do factory reset, my phone rebooted twice and starts normally.
THE ROOT GET BACK AGAIN AND FACTORY RESET DOES NOT DONE!
It seems recovery mode has some problem, don't know what problem is it.
Is any way to fix it? MY PHONE IS ZENFONE 5 (T00J)

Sounds like your device comes prerooted and if that's the case you can't remove it with a factory reset. This is common among Chinese devices.

My device is not prerooted. Before I rooting it, my device still can do factory reset. But after I rooted I can't do it anymore.
It seems like the recovery mode is dead or whatever, do you know how to fix it?
Dont worry all you need to do is to flash the frimware for your device using CWM/TWRP.
You can find your frimware from this site.

So today my droid started messing up, home and recents button didnt work. Google play store and whatnot couldnt access data, the signal status bar at the top was just grey.
So i factory reset it. During the reset it just sat there on the little screen with the spinning hexball thing for like an hour so i shut the phone off. Now every time the phone boots it just tries to wipe it again unless i go into the boot menu and hit normal boot.
Running stock rom and whatnot, but im rooted.
I know that theres a flag somewhere that it reads on boot saying to wipe it, but dang if i know what to change.
Thanks in advance
Well i unrooted my phone and tried to let it redo the factory reset again, and it still just wont do anything.

When this happens to me, it's because of a bad flash and a factory reset won't fix it. I would suggest reflashing stock...

I dont have a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader.
I managed to get the problem sorted out through some unrooting and some non stock system file deletion. Installed safestrap and got blurry hd running on it now.
Thanks.
Hi,
I was wondering if it would be safe to factory reset my phone after unrooting it with SuperSU. Many months back I rooted my phone with Towelroot and now I want to factory reset my phone because of many problems I have been having. I was wondering if it would be safe to unroot my phone with SuperSU and then do a factory reset with no problem.
All replies are appreciated.

My phone kept on restarting on its own and kept getting stuck in small boot loops so I decided to unroot it. I'm now going to do a factory reset and hopefully everything will be fine.

I just noticed that my system status is set to Custom for some reason. Can I still factory reset without a problem or could there be a conflict?
Hello everyone,im having a huge issue with my device of late. It randomly just freezes up now and then and i have to do a hard reset to switch it off then. Since this has been happening i decided to do a factory reset on my device and start fresh.
Problem with that is that my phone wont let me do a factory reset by going into the settings menu and then selecting backup & reset and then going into the factory reset menu. Once there and i try to tap the reset tab, it does nothing at all. Is there another way that i can reset my device?
If anyone has any suggestions for me,id really appreciate hearing from you. My device is the E6653 and it is not rooted or bootloader unlocked if thats essential.
since factory reset is next to re flashing your device
consider reflashing using FLASHTOOL. ( even when you device has locked bootloader you can still flash untouched rom)
some time back a user having z5p ( device name Satsuki) was asking how to flash so i gave him good short tutorial at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71394777&postcount=3
the same applies for you too! but select SUMIRE in the list and see your country , select correct build version / download and flash
Wokeup this morning and decided to restart my phone as i usually do every morning, but after the restart the phone has remained in safe mode since then. I have tried restarting the phone several times to no avail.
I believe phone has been rooted about 2 years ago or so. I dunno what kind of recovery im running also.
I am still running 5.1.1
J700HXXU1AOG6 (baseband version)
LMY48B.J700HXXU1AOI3 (build number)
Please any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated
NOTE:
Im a noob, so please try to be clear as possible.
THANKS
UPDATE
Just realized the volume down button is not working(clicks but doesnt lower the volume). So im guessing this is what makes it enter safe mode all the time
What recovery are you using?

You have backups ?
What kind of ROM are you using ?
Anyways best is gonna be download any rom and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik...then flash it.
If you don't have backup and you're on stock then just download the firmware from Sammobile and then flash it via Odin, remember don't factory reset, else your all data will be wiped out.
Then start your phone, take a backup of the things you'll need and then reset and flash it again.
And if you're on a custom ROM and you don't have backups then flash the ROM on your recovery again without wiping anything. Restart your device then, you'll see your datas intact, then take a backup but most likely you'll see a lot of force stops of several apps while in this process. Then complete by flashing it again after wiping data system cache dalvik.

No, i dont have any backups(most things were saved on SD card)
I believe its stock rom. The only thing i remember doing is rooting the phone long time ago when i got it.
I just realized that the volume down button is not functioning(clicks in but doesnt lower the volume) and i believe this is where the issue is as the volume down activates the safe mode feature
Im still gonna flash the phone none the less cos im still on older android and i hope it works
That volume down button is broken, stuck ON. Get it fixed.

Thanks a lot to everyone who tried to help.
Will be taking the phone for repairs by Monday and will drop a feedback on how that goes
Fixed the volume down button and the phone is back to normal now.
Time to close this thread and go search on how to root the 6.0.1
Thanks guys
Cheers!

I really need help! Friend was messing with my phone and selected to factory reset it. I quickly grabbed it away but it already began to reboot, however I did not let it reboot. I forced it off.
Any chance I can still stop the factory reset process? I have TWRP installed but seem to be getting the factory reset splash screen when I hold volume down+power.
Has the damage been done, or not yet? Please tell me there's a way to bypass the reset. I do not have a removable battery.
Get to recovery mode and backup your phone and reboot. That's the last option I guess

How do I enter recovery without the factory reset from starting?

If you turned off, you already stopped it. It will not try to continue when you reboot the device. But, there is no way to know if anything was wiped or not, until you reboot the device and find out. If it wiped anything, it's gone, unless you can use any of the various data recovery programs on PC to recover the lost data, if it is possible to retrieve it.

I heard that the factory reset is "locked" into your phone as soon as it turns off, but it doesn't begin the process of wiping until after the first boot. I think I have partially confirmed this because when I try to boot, I get the android updating splash screen, which I guess means it is about to wipe. I force it off as soon as I see that screen, but before the phone has time to officially begin any process, so I am unable to boot into android or recovery.
Is there a way to mount my internal partition to my PC without turning the phone on, like through fastboot?

The reset was already started, you originally interrupted it before it could "finish" the "wipe" then, when you rebooted, it is starting the "reload" process(android is upgrading) where it loads the system and whatever personal data is still there, if any personal data remains from the interrupted wipe.
As I said, all you can do now is let it finish booting, then use data recovery software to hopefully retrieve your lost data, or take it as a learning lesson if the data is irretreivable.
