Hello all,
I've read that when people factory reset within twrp they end up in a bootloop (going back to twrp). So my question is how do i factory reset without facing the same issue?
Reason i want to factory reset is that my oneplus 6 is brand new, latest OOS and the wifi/data is broken whereas when i have either of those enabled they stop working within minutes. I've read about people having the same issue but most of them got it solved via software update. But yet mine exists for some reason.
I would appreciate the help :angel:

I have occasional reboots while the phone is sleeping (you have to re-enter your pin after it happened).
Reboot were occuring ~2 times a week.
I had root installed and I am thinking of sending it to warranty, so I re-flashed the original firmware and made a factory reset. I am not thinking that root or Ad-Block is causing this, but I don't want to have root installed when I send it.
I also read in a german forum that I am not alone with this. My firmware is I9103XWLA4_I9103DRELA1_I9103NELA1 (android 2.3.6 with Drei branding). (original Drei branded phone in Austria)

Does anybody else have any reboot issues? Pls also name firmware and if root is installed.
Thanks!
Yes some of our users (mostly indian as far as I remember) experienced random reboots. It usually ended up in service with motherboard's or device's replacement. That has nothing to do with root. Root is just an application located in system/app that gives you permission to perform operations in system partition....etc. Of course it's possible to induce such behavior if you use some let us call them "dangerous" applications that requires superuser's permission, but su-application doesn't do anything by itself.
I also use this rom XWLA4 with my regional CSC. My device is rooted and have never experienced such issues (I own it since october 2011).
Thanks for the info, so I think more and more that this could be a hardware issue.
I am kind of preparing of giving it back to samsung to exchange it, this is the real reason I removed root and root apps.
I am just not really sure if this is a software or hardware issue, so this is why i posted.
I completely understand. To unroot, restore stock fw and send it to service is the best u can do in such situation.
I've done it now, but it did not happen, since I unrooted it and did a factory reset.
Lets see if it will happen again (then I will send it in) and how long I can survive without root.

i was also facing similar kind of issue, I've done factory reset and cleared the cache. now i am not facing that problem..
IMO sending it to the service center should be a last ditch effort.. Coz those guys take so much time plus they always go after the motherboard... I have a feeling its the cache issue or battery calibration issue. Coz even i faced the prob and like mj.vikram suggested - I did a wipe cache and calibrated battery and it seems to have worked.
Cheers.
Factory Reset and Cache Clear did not work, so i've given it to the service center. They've exchange a part of the motherboard, I did not have any reboots since.
If I get reboots again I will write here.

My bad - I shud have updated the post. Even I faced the issue again and have given it to the service center.
Glad to hear ur issue is resolved. Enjoy the machine!
A few days ago they had commented on some bugs I found in my MOTO G on the graphics errors that were happening during the transition, not ever knowing me lately that this has happened again, but anyway, if it were a problem bad firmware installation thanks to that these problems happen.
How should I proceed to reinstall phone software and thus "solve" the problem I'm having without warranty void if the problem persists and so can claim for a new phone?
No if you just Factory Reset option to restore from the phone that is in settings, some wipe data / cache or download the firmware on the PC and reinstall by PC.
Someone can tell me the steps to well proceed to reinstall my Android?...
By the way, thanks for all!!
So I have a Motorola Droid Ultra, rooted, running 4.4 Kit Kat, on Obake 12.5.3, with SafeStrap installed. I have recently started to get random UI reboots and I have no idea what could possibly be causing these random UI reboots. Can someone please tell me, if I want to factory reset, should I use SafeStrap recovery to factory reset? and would I lose root? Or do I have to reflash my phone? (I'd prefer an easy fix while, at the same time, not have to reflash). Can someone help me troubleshoot my issue here? It would be much appreciated
Edit: In addition to the reboots, I also have another problem that has never happened before, when I go to storage settings in the settings menu, everything is stuck on "calculating"...
Here's a screenshot:

This is often caused by the cache being broken. I don't know how to rebuild the cache if you're just rooted and not unlocked. If you can find a way to clear it, then try that.
Factory reset can do this, but you might lose root (not sure).
Okay, so I am about to perform a Factory Reset through SafeStrap right now. I will give an update post after I do the reset.
Problem solved!
I did the factory reset with SafeStrap, I am still rooted, and the problem is solved!
I rooted my Xperia L 2-3 months back. Recently the phone has been getting stuck at screen off very often. I have a hunch that a factory reset will solve the problem (as it has happened once already).
However, I'm worried that since it is rooted, a factory reset might cause problems. Is it safe to do a factory reset? Has anyone tried this? I don't want to backup any apps or anything, I'm fine with losing app data. I just want a fully functional phone.
Also, I'm still using Android 4.1. Can I update to 4.2 on a rooted phone?

Yea you can factory reset your rooted phone !
I recently upgraded to nougat and emui T and have noticed random reboots at any moment if phone hasn't been restarted for a week or so, I couldn't figure out what triggers it but has anyone been experiencing any random soft reboots?
I suggest you to backup all your contacts and files and perform a factore rest. You can get a clean EMUI5 which will fix a lot of issues.
Another possibility is that some of your apps are not compatiable with EMUI5 or Android N... I believe EMUI 5 is more likely. If this is the case, you can only wait for app dev to upgrade their apps.
Do a factory reset
I'm on 10 days without a reboot, you need to do a factory reset
I did a reset right after upgrading, stop repeating the same useless advices without knowing the stuff properly everyone.
