[Q] galaxy tab hard factory reset after root

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!

Wiping software and info....

Hi, I used to have a s2, and I once got stuck in a boot loop. I can't remember how, but had to completely wipe the phone and its software and do a fresh re install.
Now I want to completely wipe my note of Any old messages, pictures, account information the lot. So none of it is retrievable. By absolutely any one, so completely gone. How can I do this? And what would I do?

if you are rooted you can use recovery to wip the system
So nothing is ever left or retreavable? Does this need me to back up what I want...... ?
Thanks.....

i957 I randomly myself into a bootloop ?!

Hiiii first post here but anyways,
I have a SGH-I957 ATT LTE version and had filled the hard drive space to maximum... about like 70ish megabytes remaining (I know, stupid). It was running slow and it wouldn't delete full stacks of files for some reason so I restarted it and it got stuck in a bootloop. I've tried booting to recovery and rebooting again and I don't really want to factory wipe.
Any suggestions?? Please help lol

full reset

Is theelre any way I can flash stock and get fully back to stock like out of the box. I've tried Odin and factory reset. Stuff still ends up staying on the phone.

Do the Odin then as it is booting for the first time enter recovery. (Don't let it fully boot)
. Do factory reset, cache wipe reboot and you should be fresh out the box.

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THE BL FILE as our bootloader is still locked and it will just fail.
just flash the other 3 files
