Can you factory reset after rooting your Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tab?
Thanks for any insight on this issue.
I want to keep the root. just need to reset to factory specs.
Yes. Go to Settings>Privacy> and then select "Factory Data Reset" This will reset all settings and delete all of your data on the device. If you need a more serious reset than that, you will need to either clear data via clockworkmod recovery or re-flash via ODIN. (Warning: Reflashing with ODIN will remove your root and return you to stock.) If you just want to reset to factory settings and wipe your data, the "Factory Data Reset" will do what you need. Good luck.
The factory reset worked without incident. Only thing that didn't erase was the pictures that I took with the built in camera. I was having trouble with a push ad. Finally figured out what which app it was. Thanks for the help

Is it better to wipe from phone settings or from recovery menu?
What are the differences?
I want to wipe phone, because I installed too much crap and some of it can't be uninstalled and some apps I don't use some apps that I've installed because "maybe they come in handy".

I like to wipe from recovery
Wiping from settings will delete all third party apps and data on the phone without any user error in the wiping process. Within recovery you may choose what to wipe but may accidentally wipe something such as your SD card by accident.

Just to be awkward, I'm going to throw a third option at you:
From a Samsung phone, you can dial :
*#*#7780#*#*
To perform full wipe/factory reset.
It is important to note that using this, or selecting reset from the menu is effectively the same thing as using recovery anyway, as all it will do is boot into recovery and wipe the data/cache.
How do i wipe the data and basically factory reset my YP-GI1 device?
Should be in settigns, search around for it. Also, if you have ClockWorkMod flashed onto your device, then go into it, and do a factory reset and it will do just that.

We dont have cwm for the 4.2 yet. But you can co into recovery and wipe data oer you can go into the settings and factory reset your device
Updgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 via Kies. Un-rooted, stock SGH-I777. Stuck in bootloop now at AT&T logo. I already did the wipe data cache in recovery mode with no luck so it leaves me to factory reset as my next option. I've spent several hours browsing through the forum already. Do any of the below allow me to keep data?
1) Use Odin and stock firmware - downloaded the UCMD8 tar file
2) Root, install kernel w/ CWM to use backup functionality. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894)
Just need a point in the direction I need to go, I'll handle the rest.
If the result is all the same (i.e. data loss), I'll use this issue as an opportunity to put a custom ROM on my phone.
Thanks!
Yes, most likely a wipe data/factory reset performed in recovery would correct the problem, but you will lose some system data. Which specific things are you worried about losing? You won't lose your photos, or any data from applications installed from the play store.
You are going to have to perform a wipe data/factory reset to use odin and the stock UCMD8 firmware. In fact, at this point it is probably the only way out.
U could try to re Odin the firmware first. Not sure where ya got it from, but it should be a no wipe. But if that doesn't solve ur problem, then ya have a few options--- Odin a custom kernel (like AJK), and then u could Mount usb storage through recovery and backup ur stuff to ur pc. Then try to see if it will boot up without looping. If it still loops then u need to go back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot. And it should be good. Or if ya don't care about ur data, then just reboot to recovery and wipe data and reboot.

mostly just concerned with losing SMS but i have a backup from a few weeks ago so im not out much.
thanks for the answers! I guess i'll just have to make the plunge on one of the options.
Factory Reset in download mode vs. TWRP Factory Reset (Wipe)
What are the differences between them? I feel like I experienced different results between the 2. for example, I had no data and phone signals for the last few days and tried TWRP Wipe many times with no avail. Then when i did the factory reset from the download screen it seemed to fix the issue. This could all be a coincidence and probably is.
I thought that since I have a custom recovery the factory reset in the download screen does not do anything different than the TWRP one. I'm sure I'm wrong. Enlighten me please.
I have a question that must be obvious to many but I don't know the answer and am curious.
Right now I am rooted and if I want to install a new rom I do the factory reset and wipe caches in recovery and then install the custom rom.
What happens if
1. I do this reset and clear caches within recovery and just reboot without installing a rom?
2. What happens if I do a factory reset with settings?
I know the phone will start in setup mode but will it have the last rom I installed or what?
If you're wiping system too, then the phone won't boot - except to recovery if you tell it to. If you're not wiping system but you're wiping data, then the phone will boot but be like you just installed it new for the first time and you have to set it up.
I'm not positive what Factory Reset within settings will do, if it works or not, when you have a custom recovery installed. Normally under a completely stock ROM with stock recovery, Factory Reset from Settings or from the stock recovery would wipe everything but system. It wipes Data, Cache, Dalvik, and internal storage. You can achieve the same thing from custom recovery if you wish to. And yes, as long as you didn't wipe System, the last ROM you had installed would boot.
Doing a factory reset from settings with twrp installed should be like doing a factory reset in twrp. TWRP will takeover when the phone restarts to do the factory reset. At least that is how it was with my Moto X phones. I've done it with Jasmine on my G3, but don't remember the outcome. It was only a few days ago too. Lol. I'm a retard.
