I've rooted and unlocked bootloader on my Verizon S3.
I want to know if I can do a soft reset to setup new gmail account on the device?
is it safe or will it brick the device because bootloader is unlocked?
Any help is appreciated.
Yes it's safe.

Nothing will happen. You will not brick your device.
By soft reset I mean Factory Data Reset to set it up as a new device?
Will it remove the root privileges?
Sorry for asking again.
Thanks advance
No it just resets the ROM.

Just for clarification...
Factory reset will reset your data partition, not system. Your ROM lives in the system partition and all of your apps, preferences, etc live in data. So doing a factory reset will simply wipe all of your application data.
Hello guys, yesterday I sold my phone. Now im trying to factory reset my Oneplus one in the menu. But when I do that it reboots and gets in a TWRP bootloop. I already backedup my data on my new phone, so I just want to get rid of everything. When I reboot the phone nothing has changed and all my apps and data are still there. Anyone have an idea what I should do? Thanks in advance.

Simply boot into Recovery, tap Wipe and swipe to begin the process. Doing so will perform a regular Factory Reset.

The best way to ensure that the device is ready for sale is by flashing the stock images with fastboot. See section 8 of my guide:

Well the method that I suggested will ensure that the phone is back to a 100% stock state, exactly as it came out of the box.
Hello guys, i have an oneplus one for a month or two and yesterday i rooted it using Kingroot *i haven't unlocked the bootloader or something like this, just pressed root and waited* , i have busybox , lucky patcher things like this nothing special. Since then my cellular network won't start. Is the only solution to unroot or even maybe reset the phone to the factory settings? I would preffer not to.

root does not affect network generally .check apn settings and
unlocking bootloader does not void warranty and do not use one click root if not urgently needed

I spoke with a pro from my network provider and he made do some steps and it didn't help me, he said to me to check the sim and the sim works perfect on a non rooted android. So i guess its from the root.
Edit: he asked me if i re-softed my phone and told me to do a factory reboot if the sim is good.

reset data is setback try using custom recovery for new modems or new ROM and use titanium backup for safety it would not help in future if it is because of root.

I don't want to change my cyanogen rom, it's great, i'll unroot it and maybe even reset it. I need the data more than the root.
Thanks!

Your best bet is to unlock bootloader, wipe system and reflash your ROM (with custom recovery) , there are COS signed flashable zips in General Section. Unlocking bootloader if you've never done it before wipes the phone so backup your data to a PC and keep it unlocked, it doesn't void your warranty and it makes troubleshooting issues much easier. Factory reset of the phone WILL NOT remove root.

Well i already unrooted it and deleted everything.I'm afraid to unlock the bootloader because i have never done something like this, my biggest experience with androids software is to root them with android apps . Would you recommend me to re-soft it to cm 13 official build or to factory reset it? I'll look for a tutorial for the bootloader and do my best.
Oh, and by the way, if i clear it unlock the bootloader etc and i can't fix the problem what should i do?
I'm a newbie so probably what i'm asking is stupid, but isn't there any chance that the bootloader is unlocked? I can enter it idk..
Check you APN settings , erase them and rewrite them. Root does not affect network. And i don't see how you would be able to switch ROMs if you don't unlock your bootloader...
thats why i said that i will unlock the bootloader. and i did the apn checking with a pro from the orange *my provider* and nothing, he even changed my settings from their system. It has too be from the root , i used the cellular to download the apps for the root, then rooted it rebooted and no more cellular.
Oh and i have another reason to think its from the root because after i rooted the phone some apps started to fall down. Apex launcher for example.

So you've been on CM13 and you're flashing kingroot? #facepalm
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
No, I used kingroot on 12.1 yogd7, I unrooted it and tried to flash it to 13. I'll resoft it to the stock that's my only option. Does the resoft to the stock *with a PC* void my warranty?

Seriously go do some major reading cause you seem to know nothing and despite having issues with your phone since recently have made zero effort to use the stickies and guides in General section as well as this section where you posted this question. The information you need to learn is all over. Flashing the factory image needs an unlocked bootloader last I checked (might be wrong) and you have to do it via fastboot. There are stickies for OPO you just have to click and read or even go to YouTube lots of people have provided step by step guides.
It will not void your warranty, neither will unlocking your bootloader void your warranty on this phone.

First you have to unlock your bootloader
Then flash firmware , now you can get your network working, if you want flash twrp recovery and root with SuperSU. Or just flash twrp recovery and flash cm13 ROM.
DON'T USE KINGROOT LIKE ONE CLICK ROOTS , AS THEY WERE WORKING UPTO KITKAT ONLY. SINCE LOLLIPOP YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK BOOT LOADER AND FLASH RECOVERY AND SUPERSU FOR ROOT.READ WHATEVER YOU NEED IN OPO XDA FORUM . IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSS YOUR DATA COPY YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE TO PC AND BACKUP CONTACTS ETC TO YOUR EMAIL ID, THEN YOU WILL NEVER LOSS ANYTHING. ME TOO AFRAID OF ROOTING BUT I ROOTED 6 DEVICES IN PAST 8 MONTHS , NEVER LOOSE MY DATA EVERYTHING. STICK WITH XDA AND.....
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.
OK guys, thanks.
I have solved the problem with manudroid19's toolkit, thanks for your help guys.
Off-topic: Do you know what is the error 2 on twrp? i didn't find it on google, i get it when i try to flash gapps on cm13.*i try to do this because not even 1 google apps work and i gave them all the permissions.I deleted cache data etc,rebooted a few times*
Hey guys, I'd like to wipe a phone thoroughly before its sold. The phone is using emui so there is no encrypt option in security settings. Pretty clueless here seems there's no encryption option so any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance guys

I've read that your files are still accessible even after a factory reset unless you encrypt them?

Hi, doing a factory rest is your best option. This will wipe all of your personal data off of the phone, it cannot then later be retrieved by a new owner of the phone.
Just perform a hard factory reset on your device. Then fill the device's internal memory with blank txt files and perform another hard factory reset on it again. This way you can be sure that nobody will be able to recover the data that was stored on your device.
My friend uses Honor 6X. He is on stock Nougat ROM. He is no more now. Is there a way to bypass his phone's Lockscreen without losing data so we could get to know some details we need?
*And his phone's bootloader is Locked.
*No way to enable developer options.
*Can i boot into fastboot mode and using adb commands can i boot via TWRP temporarily?
Since the bootloader is locked, the only thing he can do is factory reset.
Don't forget to remember which Google account he used, as it will be required after the factory reset
