[Q] galaxy tab hard factory reset after root - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im selling my tab and i need to do the reset to delete my info. If you do hard reset (power+volume up) do i have to do the rooting again? How do i delete my info without rooting again? Thx

Power+volume up will take you to recovery and will not hard reset. You can then select factory reset from the recovery screen.
No you can't usually remove root by factory reset. Depending on your root method,for froyo using super one click has unroot. But cf-root for gingerbread does not have unroot. To remove root one has to flash the kernel without repartition.
Good luck!

[Q] What can/should i do!?

i have a galaxy note running the official German ICS LPY release (flashed it through PC Odin) everything is working fine and have been using it since release day, however i was just wondering if it was OK/safe for me to run a factory reset from withing the phone (i.e settings> Backup and Reset>Factory Data Reset... if not, how would i go about resetting my phone?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: point to note that i did not do a factory reset on my phone once i updated to ICS.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT do a factory reset while using that ice cream sandwich lpy kernel. You will brick your device! Go download a factory wipe version gingerbread bread ROM and flash one of the many "safe" ice cream sandwich roms available.

thanks, im kind of a noob, could you link me too a "factory wipe GB stock rom" and a safe stock ICS rom!? (for the record, i have yet to root my phone)
you dont need to revert to GB, Just flash Speedmod Kernel in ODIN and then reboot into recovery and you will be safe to wipe
speedmod will give you CWM recovery, It will also give you root, And also it will give you yellow triangle and binary count, so after the flash use this app to reset the counter and all will be well and good

eMMC bug question | Selling phone after Factory Reset

Hi, I have an international varient of the UNROOTED Galaxy Note GT N7000 which is running on OFFICIAL ICS ROM. On using 'Chainfire's Got Brick App v1.1' says:
eMMC Chip
Type: VYL00M
Revision: 0x19
Verdict: Danger! This eMMC chip is "Known" to have the brick bug!
Details of the phone:
Build No.: IML.74K.DDLPA
Base Band: N7000.DDLP4
Android Version: 4.0.3
I'm planning to sell my phone and want to delete all Google Accounts associated with it and other files, so-
1. If I Factory Reset/wipe using the in-phone method ie. the option in 'Back Up and Restore', will that hardbrick my phone?
2. If I Factory Reset/wipe using the recovery mode(3 buttons combination) will that hardbrick my phone?
I have never ever rooted my phone nor installed any leaked ICS ROMs/kernels or custom ROMs/CWM.
If all the above questions have an answer of 'Yes' then how can I factory reset my device before selling it off?
I got one answer on your 1 and 2 questions.... YES... 50/50.. either you'll get lucky and your phone will bootup fine after fully wiping it.. or it gets toasted. It's just a simple lottery draw... it's either your lucky in the first time (when wiping and booting it fine after), or you get the unlucky fate of hardbricking it.
how can you factory reset your phone before selling it??? Simple... flash it back to Gingerbread and factory reset it from there.
Cheers!

Flash to GB Stock ROM via PC Odin and wipe / format from there
Gb is safe
So flash it.....

And don't forget to format your sd card because factory reset only wipes the phone memory.

Yep - once you're back on GB.. Do your wipes in recovery, boot up and then choose to format internal / External SD's through the Settings > Storage Menu...
Ok, thanks all. Followed your guide and sold off for $483.4

How to clean wipe completely for OS upgrade

I am on Stock ICS and Jelly bean update will be rolled out soon by samsung.
Now i want to completely wipe out everything on my phone and do a company like fresh update to jellybean OS.
So what is the correct procedure for this ? And, i assume i have to compulsorily use Kies.
Yes because JB might only come on kies and not as OTA.
Flash a safe kernel (Philz) and go to mounts and storage > format /data, cache, preload, emmc ( internal storage) reboot.
So would still be possible to update even though you are not on a stock kernel
yes kies upgrade even on custom kernel

C'mon guys you are not being very helpful. All OP wants to do is do a SAFE factory reset WITHOUT flashing a custom kernel.
2 options - Flash Philz Temp recovery and wipe on that, or flash Philz wipe data/factory reset zip file. Both are SAFE and will not alter stock status of phone. I can provide links if needed...

Ok, forget about wiping then..... i wont do it.
But i can safely upgrade to Jelly bean via Kies right - Without any fear of bricking.... ? (BTW, i believe kies wipe the phone clean before installing new OS, but i can B wrong)
Yes you can upgrade via kies safely. It may most probably wipe your phone as this may need a repartitioning.
