Root wouldent a factory reset work

[bubbleywine]

couldt you do that to un root the phone???? i have a un rooted recovery backup so not really worried but i mean factor reset is what it says right?

 

[yojoe600]

no factory reset keeps root.. you must do the RUU method to unroot

 

[Squintz82]

Doesn't the RUU method also do a factory reset? Basically, the only way to unroot will also delete your apps and data?

 

[yojoe600]

yep it will delete everything

Doing a factory reset keeps root? but wipes everything else off? Interesting,

I assume it leaves the clockwork recovery alone too, and so unrooting via the ruu actually gives you stock recovery and everything

 

[yojoe600]

yea you are correct^

Factory reset does one thing:

It wipes /data.

It does not touch /system.

this is good to know. i rooted my phone maybe a week ago but i've been thinking about doing a factory reset and then making a nandroid backup right afterwards to have a completely stock backup. would that be right in that it would be completely stock except for the recovery and the root?
