I am using HTC wildfire s gsm android 2.3.5 (rooted)
my question is that can i factory reset or hard reset my mobile as usual ?
or since i rooted my mobile should i need to follow any specific steps??
Hard reset should work just fine!
You can also do it through Android itself.
Factory reset works exactly the same.
Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset
You should have no problems, and there should be no extra steps for custom ROMs.
Sorry for the noob question. I have rooted Moto G. I want to sell it now, but before Sell I want to factory data reset my phone. So before doing this, I want to ask xda member's what happen after I factory data reset my phone ? My phone will be unrooted again ? or I just have to install supersu again ? What if my phone stuck in between restore factory data reset process ? How can I install stock android os in moto g if that happen ? Thanks in advance.

it wont be unrooted after you factory reset, the app will be still there in system/app , you need to select full unroot from the app and then factory reset
Hi, I bought a Virgin Mobile LG G Stylo, but I am afraid of these app closes and keyboard crashes it has on 5.1.1. I want to root it so I can still do what I've been doing on my previous phones, like wifi hotspots, cpu clocking, bloatware removal, etc., but I can only root 5.1.1. Basically, if I do the update, I cannot root, but if I don't update and just root, I cannot update to remove the bugs. Would anyone know any method to root 6.0, or might I be fine and be able to make 5.1.1 work with some ROM on Virgin? OR, has the Stylo 2 any root method yet? I am stuck with an Optimus Slider until I figure this out

The only 6.0 marshmallow root on the stylo is metropcs/T-mobile. They are able to root because they have unlocked bootloaders. The Virgin Mobile phone can only root on 5.1.1. So, if you want root do not update. I use the VM stylo too, and I'm on marshmallow, and I wish I'd stayed on 5.1.1 w/root. There are no roms for the sprint variants, so all you can do is debloat and tweak, but you'll have that. I'm pretty sure you can alleviate your crashes and app closes by factory resetting from recovery. Just clear it a few times. If you disable too much google garb you get instability. Good Luck

You mean factory reset every time it starts to get bad? I do not want to reset all of the time. Isn't resetting bad if you are rooted? Should I just wait on the Stylo 2? Would there be a way to unlock the bootloader after rooting? If so, maybe removing root and then updating and rooting again?
And what if I installed Katana? I found @GameTheory's website, but it says it is for the Tmobile variants

You don't need to wipe data all the time. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache only every so often. That won't erase your apps.
You can wipe the phone in recovery, it is similar to factory resetting but it must be done in recovery on a rooted phone. Once you do a wipe, you can reinstall your apps. Once you are rooted, you can use Titanium Backup to restore your apps.
Also, once rooted, you can do a complete (Nandroid) backup of your phone so that if you ever need it, you can restore everything back to the phone.

No. Like it says, that is for Tmobile/MetroPcs only

So just the caches and I should be fine? Do you know if the bootloader is locked on Stylo 2? Because if so, I would assume root would be impossible.

I know nothing about the Stylo 2. to be honest. Not interested either. Such an inferior phone and it sucks that Boost and LG are putting out a phone that has limited specs. Same thing they did with the original Stylo for Boost.

Hello,
I have a rooted N8010 that's running stock. I'd like to factory reset this tablet because it's acting buggy with some lag and intermittent random reboots. I've owned it about 4 years and have never reset it.
My question is, since it's rooted, do I have to do anything other than booting into recovery and resetting? I'm asking in case I'm supposed to unroot or flash factory or something, even though it's still running stock.
Thanks for some advice! :good:
Factory reset .
Then root again if you actually need root .
Easy enough, thank you!
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?
