[Q] Hard Reset Options - Identical?

Hi all,
Have trawled the forums & net but, rather surprisingly, can't seem to find anything on this.
Just would like to know if there is a difference between the two different hard/factory resets (through the settings backup menu and using hardware buttons on startup).
I noticed on my old HTC1X that the former method sometimes resulted in some settings not being reset but not sure if that was a glitch or faulty restore.
Thanks,

Do you mean factory reset in the bootloader vs factory reset in Settings ?
if yes then Yes they both do the same thing, they delete your /data folder and leave the sdcard alone

Yes via the bootloader and in settings.
Thanks for the confirmation, have always been curious if the bootloader option was more of a 'thorough' wipe so to speak.

if you really want a complete wipe just unlock the bootloader .. that does a complete wipe of everything on the phone

Looks like you have the answer... But you are not ready to do it yet...
I don't have a solution for you, but if it was me I would backup as much as I can and factory reset or flash a factory image and move on.
Good luck...

SOLVED
solved using tasker > plugin > secure settings > camera enable
like you see in attach

Phone is encrypted but not being prompted for passwort during boot

Hello,
I've encrypted my phone using a password during set up a while ago. Usually, when I boot, I get prompted for the password, but since a few beta versions ago, this no longer happens and my phone boots straight into the lock screen, where even my apps already start.
The settings still say that my phone is encrypted.
Is there any way to fix this without resetting?
Thanks in advance,
Cludch

I solved by removing pin/password and re setting back. It will ask to check the option to prompt pin/password during boot.

a factory reset is requiered

I had the same problem and solved it:
Go to settings and then apps - all apps - upper right corner ' show system' - find 'Google services framework' and clear cache. After rebooting updates are shown.
Factory reset is not necessary!

I'll try this as the last step , idk if sideloading the OTA would be a good idea

if you have time post the result and good luck

UPDATE : Fixed the error message by removing and reinstalling Google Play Services , but the PIE OTA is still not available , hope I can update soon.
