Just need a quick answer.
If I factory reset my phone (gsm) from this rom:-

Would this bring back to my stock rom? or would this simply reset the to virtuous rom? or would it brick and i would have to flash again?
Factory reset will reset your current rom(virtuous). All messages, contacts, settings, third party apps, etc will be deleted

Hiya - was wondering what happens on a factory reset if you have rooted your phone?
I have Villain12 on my hero just now!
It will reinstall the OS, so as root is in the system partition it will still be rooted and still be on VR, you will just have to set it up again like Google account etc. and any apps you have.
Thanks for that
When I do a factory reset, my phone resets to this very strange state. I recently flashed on a new kernel, which is when I first saw this strange factory state. I tried to fix this by flashing the current version of my phone (Xperia Arc LT15a, 2.3.4 build 4.0.A.2.0.42). So now the firmware is back to normal but factory reset still changes my phone back to some strange state (for example, the home button doesn't do anything when pressed... i.e. doesn't take you home!).
My question is, how can I alter my phone so that it factory resets to the ROM that I want it to? I don't know how this strange state got on the phone, but it's not resetting to the factory state that it used to.
Or point me in the general direction for a solution?
Thank you
Alex

This [SOLVED] the problem. THANK YOU. Another success story!
I was messing with AOKP, but I lost my data there. Nandroided back to a TouchWiz ROM, and I'm stuck on 3G data only. What do I need to do to get back 4G?
Edit: A factory reset via *2767*3855# on a TouchWiz ROM will do it, but I'd like to do it without wiping.
Hi,
I am running Desire X DEODEXED Stock ROM 2.20.401.5 Jelly Bean Sense 4+ ROM on hboot 1.24.0000. I tried to perform a factory reset by going to Settings -> Backup & reset -> Reset phone. I clicked the 'Reset phone' option on the warning screen. The phone rebooted, but when the UI comes up, I can still see the widgets and apps I had installed earlier. SMSs and call logs are also intact.
Can anyone please help me to perform a factory reset?

I have an S3(android 4.2) and I wanted to flash it to 4.4(for Pokemon GO). Now I installed [this](http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-blekota-s5-lite-beta-4-5-1-t2752331) but I dislike the S5 menues, hud etc.
I want to reset my phone(everything). How can I do that? I tried via the menue, however it resets the phone, but keeps the S5-look(check the link above). My goal is to reset the phone and only update to 4.4 kitkat, while keeping everything like it was before on my S3.
Thanks.
@faaaz: I recommend SmartDroid: JB-style & light. If you need extra SammyCrap, use Bloatinstaller. Wipe system, data, cache, DalvikCache before. No need to flash firmware before, if IMEI and net-access are ok.
