I have a Samsung a10. SM-A107f to be exact. If I root it will I be able to recover my snapchat cache?
I did a factory reset on my phone and lost my snap cache.
Could I use a recovery program to gain back lost files after rooting or is it a lost cause?

So i rooted my tablet when i had ISC then i updated to the latest firmwares but the question is if i factory reset my tablet will i lose root again? I did this once but i lost root (super user deleted). So i had to down grade and reroot ics and i just updated again but im wondering if the factory reset is basically losing my root or is there an error to prevent this? I want to factory reset my tablet since everytime i update my tab in order for it to run smoothly like other systems. If anyone has an answer please let me know! Sorry if you dont understand my english -_-
Hell-o Niceguy and welcome!
Try cold booting first in order to save your root.
Factory reset will wipe all and place you back at the factory state.
So yes your root will be gone.
Hope I have understood you correctly.
I've never done it myself, but factory reset should not modify the system partition, so it should not be possible to lose the su binary that gives you root access.
Rationale: The system partition is read-only in normal use, and there is no other partition that contains the unmodified factory image of the system partition.
Flashing a complete Asus firmware however overwrites the complete system partition, which *will* kill your root.
Updating the Superuser or SuperSU apps through the Play Store can place them in the data partition instead of system. They would then be lost after a wipe. You could try reinstalling from the Play Store...
Currently running 5.0.2 - D80130b stock with root.
If I do a factory reset, will I need to root the phone again?
Thanks a bunch.
Answering my question myself.
I did the reset via Settings menu and the system rebooted to TWRP, and then reset again into the main screen. SU came right up without any issues.
So, the answer is no, you won't lose root if you do factory reset from the settings.
Now, this does NOT delete the internal storage, so do not forget to delete all the pictures/messages/etc. prior to doing the reset (or format the user storage area prior to reset).
My son somehow got to the factory reset setting and got everything deleted. Is there a way to recover what was lost? Unfortunately I never rooted this tablet and so I do not have a full backup using cwm or twrp and no titanium backups either. Is there a way to recover files like that from a pc where you can recover files after formatting.
So I want to recover files I mistakenly deleted recently on my currently unrooted phone. I've tried using DiskDigger, but it can only scan photos, and can only recover so much. Rooting can help, but I've learned to root my phone it has to factory reset (which wipes my phone upon unlocking). My question is, is it still worth it to root the phone to recover my files? I'm just afraid it would overwrite the recently deleted files when I reset the phone.
My phone is a Pocophone F1. Thanks a lot for your answers!
To root that phone, you need to unlock the bootloader. But this triggers a wipe, and the decryption key will be discarded, making any data recovery impossible.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the data is basically unrecoverable? That's pretty sad
even with root access its hard to recovery deleted files from encrypted storage
Since there is no TWRP for op8t, I'm trying to figure out how to switch roms without wiping user data. TWRP does this with the Factory Reset option. Anyone know which folders are deleted with TWRP Factory Reset? I tried /system/data/data but the phone got stuck on Android is updating... after starting.
You can't
