If I factory reset my rooted aria (running cm7), will it automatically wipe cm 7 off my phone and reset it to the default HTC Sense?
Thanks

No, it will not. Factory reseting will just erase all user data on the device (not the rom nor anything on the SD card).

Yes. You can do a factory reset without destroying your phone.
What made you think otherwise?

I tried installing peetr's hybrid 2.3.5 using clockwork recovery (from CM7), now bootlooping. Has anyone else had this problem? Nothing came up in my search. Halp.
Did you do factory reset (wipe data)?

I'll try it, I assume you mean from recovery.
It worked, I'm looking forward to trying out your rom, I've liked CM7 but was starting to miss the webtop feature.
Hi guys,
Can someone help me with a factory data reset? Im having horrific battery problems since updating OTA from ICS to JB. I've tried all the usual suggestions and am getting nowhere so i understand a lot of folks do a factory data reset and it helps some..
So the current status of my device is stock ROM and rooted with CF. I have titanium installed. If i understand this correctly i need to is it backup all apps individually from within Titanium?
Is it then just a case of clicking factory data reset from within the S3 menu? I guess I'm on a custom recovery and not stock recovery because im rooted with CF? Does this make any difference to the factory data reset procedure?
Many thanks

Yes, just click it and you will have brand new jelly bean, but still rooted. Install titanium and restore all necessary applications. I did factory reset two day ago.
there are 2 ways to factory reset..
1. from the settings menu (i am sure you are aware of this)
2. from recovery; stock recovery or cwm recovery
if you are wondering what a cwm recovery is, it is a custom recovery for rooted phones.. so you can go over at the Original Development section and find the thread for this recovery.. you will have to use odin to flash

Great. Were you rooted before you did the reset? So having a custom recovery (if i have one as i'm rooted) wont effect this? All the titanium backups of the apps i take [presumably are fine as there stored on the SD card which doesn't get touched during factory data reset. Is this right?
Thanks guys

you can still do a factory reset within the menu OR do a factory reset through Recovery (either Stock or Custom)
but since you are rooted, it is rather suggested to flash a custom recovery such as CWM Recovery

Great thanks for that. As I'm not really used to flashing things hence my noob questions. I rebooted into CWM and i can see the wipe date /factory reset option. Are there any other options i should run here i.e. wipe cache partition?
Final question after i do the wipe data/ factory reset im left with a clean build of JB with no apps or anything installed - i just pull these back from titanium 1 by 1 i guess?

For anyone who is interested the factory reset sorted my battery. I am now back to loosing approx 1% per hour overnight on 3g only (weakish signal), wifi off, location services on, google now off, fb, gmail push on. As good as it was before the JB update. I reckon a lot of folks will need to go down this route as its widespread about the JB battery issue. Luckily i was rooted so with titanium restore i got everything the way i wanted in only an hour or 2 - without it you could be tweaking apps for hours i.e. handsent sms!!
I'm having a problem with my Sim card activating, and the VZW tech told me to wait a while to see if it finishes and if not to go to the boot loader and do a factory reset. I'm currently running the EclipitcRez Rom from Hawk, so what does the factory reset do? Is it going to put the stock Rom back on or is it going to leave EclipticRez there and just reset some other things? Or should I just not do it at all.
Thanks!

It'll keep the ROM. It'll basically just erase any settings / apps you installed. All it really does is reset back to the stage where you first flash the ROM and perform the setup wizard.
They did it to my GNexus when I had to go in when my 4G wasn't working on it. I had flashed a ROM jsut before going there, and they did a factory reset on it, and it just wiped it back to the Setup Wizard.

Right on. Thanks for the reply. What I actually did was went to recovery and flashed the stock plus Rom from MicroMod and started fresh. 4G is back up and everything is running again. :highfive:
No problem, lol, and that works too I suppose.

you probably will need to do a factory reset from the BOOTLOADER, you know, the white screen with the colorful text options...I've seen this is how other people who lose 4g fix it.
also I just found this in case you experience any issues with the internal SD card after doing a bootloader factory reset:
Connect the phone to a Windows PC, open Device Manager. There you should have the option to format the SD memory. Format as FAT32, and this should fix the SD card corruption.
This is a bug within hboot, and factory resets should only be done in TWRP.

So I went to bootloader and pressed factory reset but it sends me directly to twrp? Do I just press factory reset in there or was it suppose erase without going to recovery?
