Root factory reset before root?

[silverxbv2]

I've read everything on this forum to try to root. In what state are your phones when gaining root? Are they fresh installs or two months of crap loaded up? I have not seen this mentioned anywhere. I don't want to reset my phone if its not necessary. Also the SD card, can it have anything on it prior to root, or does it have to be formatted(blank)? I'm close to giving up.

i too have read everything,i did do a clean install on my phone,i tried with sd card with normal stuff on it and i reformatted 2 others,still nothing.I don't think clearing your phone does anything to help.I can do every step and every trick in my sleep backwards and forwards Lol
