Is it ok to factory rest this device while rooted? Or should I unroot to stock 1st? I've spent about an hour on here with no results so figured I'd ask.

If you mean doing a wipe data inside TWRP that is fine.

No I meant like the factory reset through the hboot screen, like you would do with a stock phone.

Yea..man it will be up sometime within the hour...just do not wipe data as CWR doesn't do that correctly and it sticks you in a boot loop...it is ok to wipe cache though

How would I not clear the data? If I install that ROM I just posted its going to get rid of root.

i wiped data before flashing debloat. Everyone is saying not to but i think clockwork fixed some of its problems with the phone. like the fact that it boots into recovery when you have it turned off and plugged in. mine hasnt done that and this is the first day ive been rooted

Mine is all jacked up...I have tried reflashing it, erasing, clearing cache, then reflashing recovery...it will not wipe my data at all. I can press wipe data and the only thing reset is my wifi password.

When you flash the rom, it will not automatically wipe data. I have set it to not do that since it put me in a boot loop with that set. Do not flash the rom you posted. That will completely revert you back to stock. My rom is that exact rom just deodexed and rooted with busybox installed. No other modifications made at all.

Are you rooted already? If not, root your phone first and get s-off...but assuming you have that done and already have a custom recovery (from rom manager), you just flash it via clock work recovery.
I think I'll keep your rom on my SD card as a backup after what I went through on Das BAMF
As a quick update, my internet is poking along right now... but this is taking twice as long as I thought it would since that dumb verizon golf game in itself is 139 MB...that app by itself almost doubled the size of the rom.
OK that method of flashing is what I though I'd have to do... So there is NOTHING removed from this ROM, right?

I've never had to. It is built into the rom until a new update is released. i know with these phones that *228 does nothing...
Ok, I've been having some weird issues lately. Phone freezing, responding very slow, and a few other issues. I want to keep root but do a factory reset. What's the best way to perform a factory reset and not lose root? ##786# then menu and reset? What will happen if I used revolutionary to get s-off? After will I still have s-off and just need to reflash SU?

I'm assuming since you used revolutionary you have either twrp recovery or cwm. In both of these there is a factory wipe/reset feature. Using it will clear out everything but you'll still have root, no worries. Get back at me if you have more questions.
Hit my thanks if I've helped you!

I do have TWRP. What's the difference from the factory wipe/reset feature thru recovery and the ##786# way? Ultimately I want to go back to stock with s-off and keep the SU app.

Look for the bare stock Rom in the development section. It says its a base for development, but its the stock Rom.
Factory resetting will not mess around with your root or S OFF. it just cleares data and apps. stuff like that.
Go for it man, im the same way when i feel my phone get a bit slow. i learned 1 thing, DONT DOWNLOAD **** YOU DON'T NEED lol

There probably is no difference between the two, but the wipe through recovery is there to make sure everything is wiped pre-rom-flash, so I like that way better. No real logic behind it I guess.

Hello,
I am on a rooted ME7 (sadly updated from MDK accidentally). I'd like to start fresh and do a full factory reset with a full wipe. Can someone point me in the right direction on a post or "how to"? All I've found was a no-wipe method.
Thanks,
K

You can wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery (from power off hold down volume up and power until it vibrates, then release) or you can do it through the settings in backup and reset. I'm not on stock so I don't remember its exact location in the settings, but it's there somewhere.

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?

Since you are rooted, I recommend you follow the tutorial in the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
Not only does it explain how to unroot, it explaons how to remove all your data

I was under the impression you wanted it completely restored to stock. If you just want to wipe all the data you should perform a factory reset then wipe the cache partition. Both steps can be accomplished by booting into recovery mode.
