thanks

I downgraded to ics and rooted then used ota root keeper to preserve the root and get jb. However the tablet is lagy and I need to factory reset. Will the root survive a factory reset?

Yes, a factory reset doesn't remove root.

Be sure to reinstall SuperSU after resetting.
Do I lose root with factory reset
If so is there a way to not lose root.
Wife phone is really acting up lately :crying:
hoping reset will help.
Rooted stock JZO54K.I535VRBMF1
TY
all the root files are in /system, so you should't loose root. Why is just rooted stock and not unlocked with a custom ROM. Just curious really. Why root and not install a custom ROM.
Thanks for the reply.
Wife's phone this is all
she will let me do.
She just wanted some bloat froze
If it's being quirky I would recommend odin back to stock and then reroot with casual or Odin. That way you are starting fresh.

Hi everyone!
Nexus battery's become pretty sloppy out of nowhere, I've tried all the techniques to get my battery back up, but nothing... I want to reset my nexus back to factory because I've put a load of rubbish on here that I really don't need that showed it down. What o want to know is what will happen if I factory reset? And how do I do it through TWRP? I wanna completely clean my phone back to scratch, except from my ROM, Kernel and TWRP... I know how to back up my app data so that's not a problem... Will it delete my internal storage because that's one thing I don't want to happen... Any help is appreciated thanks!

Only stock /recovery wipes /sdcard. Custom recovery leaves it alone. So just choose the wipe data / factory reset option in your recovery

No of course not! Wipe data / factory reset only wipes /data.
This is all pretty basic. Perhaps read the root sticky thread at the top of this forum for a greater understanding.

i want to upgrade from viper c2 5.00 to 5.10
can u teach me how to do a full wipe, im using twrp.
cuz i read many threads and its all different methods, thanks.
Just factory reset from twrp. That should suffice. But if you really want to do a full wipe then you can manually select what you want to wipe from advance tab in wipe

I just did this before flashing a new ROM and seem to have lost Root privilege.
Is this normally what happens when Factory Resetting with TWRP?

Yes it's normal.
TWRP will ask you to restore root privilege before leaving recovery. Just follow the procedure.
Can I do a factory reset with out screwing my phone up? Like from the actual settings?
I don't want to loose root or nothing I just want a clean start the easy Way lol anybody can help?

Not sure if you will lose root. Since you are already rooted the best way to go is use a custom recovery and factory wipe in recovery.
Once you have a custom recovery installed, why would you even want to use the Factory Reset function in the stock rom? You can do everything you need to do with much more flexbility in TWRP.
No idea what happens on the M8 if you do this, but I can tell you that on the Transformer tablets a factory reset from settings wiith CWM or TWRP installed left you in a nasty forced reboot to recovery loop.
Don't do it!
Oh - and no, any kind of wipe of data/cache/dalvik will not affect root. If you wipe /system it will, but then you wouldn't have a rom installed anyway!
Just do the factory wipe in TWRP. That'll wipe everything but /system and /data/media/ where your personal files (pics, videos, docs) live. If you want to get rid of those too format data in TWRP.
Edit: Sorry, didn't read your post correctly. Did you only root with Weaksauce? No S-off, no permanent root, no custom recovery?
In that case it depends where Weaksauce is installed to. I can't remember - Weaksauce didn't survive for long after using firewater, but my guess is, it would be installed to /data. And yes - a factory reset would wipe the app and you would have to install it again.
