If I have a rooted phone but am still running the stock 2.1 rom, can I do a factory reset without destroying my phone?

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

Hi
I'm about to sell my S2 but before I do I want to make sure that I've deleted any private info etc from it.
Normally I'd do a factory reset but this is on 4.0.4 and eMMC check shows it has an insane chip.
How would you recommend I clear all personal data etc off?
Cheers
Im assuming you rooted so if you have stock or stock based kernel, don't wipe or do factory reset with CWM and you should be fine but I'm not really an expert so I can't be too sure

Factory reset through security. From how I understand it can only brick if factory reset through recovery menu.
Thank for that, I'd read the thread about the 4.0.04 hard brick as the normal factory reset could brick it! I've just reset it and it's ready to go.
I did brick my other rooted S2 by resetting through CWM though but Samsung repaired it under warranty - just didn't want to go through that again!
Hi everyone:
I need your help. Sorry in advance if this post doesn't belong here.
I recently got a Galaxy S3 clone phone with an MTK-6575 chip. I received it with Android 4.1.1 rooted.
Today I did on it a factory reset because I am going to sell it. I did the reset from the Android settings... However, when the phone restarted itself after the factory reset, it won't boot any more. I just gets to the welcome screen and it won't load the OS... What can I do? What could be the problem?
I still can get into recovery/download mode tough...
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Did you try to flash stock rom again?
Clear cache and dalvik?

I think if you are on custom rom, so you can't just factory reset it. Try flashing a Rom over it.

Go to recovery mode and do factory reset/data clean cache and dalvik cache and you are done!

Hi Guys.
My friend has lost his phone password.he tried a few times to open it but the phone restarted and after that stucked at bootloop.
I have flashed some kernels on it but when the pphone come up the launcher keeps restarting.
Is there a way to fix it without wiping the data.

DON'T do a factory reset! OP states he is on 4.04. Search 'emmc brickbug', you may have it as you're on 4.0.4. If you do have the brickbug, a factory reset will brick your phone.
OP, by 'losing your data' do you mean photos etc? If so, you can flash a new firmware (download from Samfirmware) using Odin without losing photos etc. However, you will lose your app data (settings of apps etc). Better than having a bootlooping phone though.
then forgot abt the backup

So he doesn't sync contacts to google? (in sync options, 'sync contacts'? if ticked, then all contacts can be restored to phone after signing in to google account on new rom). If you do install new firmware: to be on the safe side, flash an ICS-compatible Siyah kernel using Odin. Then you'll be safe to wipe, as Siyah has the emmc bug (emmc_cap_erase) disabled. Then, flash new firmware in Odin.
Some people report success of upgrading with no loss of data (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116344) so you technically could try upgrading with no wipe.
Flashed New Frimware.
