I have the update and root. It appears I will need to either send it in for repair or get a new one. If I reset to factory, will it reset it back to the update and blow away root? That's what I want it to do though I don't want to test it.

you wont be able to factory reset if you used one of the root exploits for unlocked BL. pwnmymoto, motoroot, or rockmymoto. You will need to rsd back to stock. There will also still be a flag stating that you rooted your phone. There are instructions on how to remove this but you must be familiar with fastboot and adb I believe. I had to do it with one of my phones. I doubt they will check to see if the phone had been rooted if it has stock firmware on it without root. But they may. I did it jsut to be safe. But i had never done that before when returning a rooted phone and never had a problem.
You can't do a factory reset with those root exploits because they hijacked teh stock recovery so the factory reset wont' work.

That's kind of what I suspected only there isn't a fxz for the update yet and I rooted after the update (RockMyMoto). I guess I'll have to wait.

What carrier is your device for? I thought almost all the fastboots have been posted for the device after the OTA hit

When I was bought my phone, it came with 4.3 version of Android.
If I hard reset/factory reset my phone, it will going to be downgraded to 4.3?

Totally No!
When you're totally stock and a OTA comes out that upgrades the software (4.4.2 to 4.4.3, etc) does it do a factory reset?

No, a OTA update does not factory reset your phone.
I want to remove all data and apps from my phone. Can I factory reset it, being rooted but with stock rom? I don't care about losing root but I don't want end up with bricked phone.

Yes. Best bet to return to 100% stock is to use RSD Lite to flash the exact same firmware you already have. Example: if you are using 4.4.4, flash 4.4.4.
This will remove everything from the device, and return it to 100% stock out of the box condition.
My at&t s6 edge is running on 5.0.2 OE2. It's rooted using pingpong root. Because of some reason I'm not able to create mobile hotspot. I wanna factory reset the phone but since it has locked bootloader and everything I'm scared to do so. What exactly will happen if I factory reset my phone? Do I need to unroot first?
anyone? pls help!
It will stay unlocked and rooted. However all of your apps, settings, and data will be deleted.
It resets your phone as if you just flashed a new rom.
