My Streak 7 is on Stock Rom 2.2.2 Unlocked.
I only rooted this using Gingerbreak.
I wanted to get HC update from Dell, So I wanted to factory reset.
How do i remove Root?
I tried Factory reset (USer+Internal Rom) using Boot options Volume Key and Power button, Still I see Super User App still there.
Any other ways to reset?
You don't need to un-root the ds7 to update to Honeycomb. But if you want, you can unroot with gingerbreak.
Factory reset generally only clears data\ and everything but system\
Rooters generally install into system\
Factory resets have nothing to do with upgrading, not does rooting have anything to do with upgrading.
I wanted to perform a factory reset because I keep getting really high Android OS usage on my phone. However, when I went to settings -> backup and rest -> factory reset, it didn't reset my phone; it just rebooted again. Then I tried to reset it by booting into recovery, so I powered up the phone holding the volume down button, scrolled to the recovery section, pressed up to select it, and it just made my phone restart again. I don't know why my phone won't let me perform a factory reset, could someone help me out? It is rooted and has titanium backup and greenify installed, but that's about it.
PwnMyMoto hijacks stock recovery. You'll need to uninstall it to get the recovery back to factory reset.

don't think you can uninstall pwnmymoto because it already uninstalled itself after it rooted your phone. You will have to flash stock frimware on the device using RSDlite. tutorial found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
for high android os usage it might be because of the wifi router you are connected to fyi. try running on no wifi for a day or a night or whatever and see if that doesn't change. There seems to be an issue with some routers that cause the usage to be extremely high. I'm having the problem currently because of my wifi router.

you can always flash the fw for your device onto your phone. you may not be able to flash an older version of a fw for your phone but you can always flash a current version. if you use rsdlite to do a full factory reset it will work. you just can't do a factory reset through the recovery mode in your phone because pwnmymoto hikacked it so its no longer there.
if you have a locked bootloader and you want to do a factory reset or flash a rom you need to install Safestrap
here is a link to the thread all about it

So I upgraded to Lollipop not too long ago and did a factory reset, and ever since then everything "Samsung Account" related does not work. Trying to add a Samsung account does absolutely nothing. It's like the button just doesn't work! Because of this, I wanted to reset my device again. However, upon clicking the Reset button, a little Samsung Account screen pops up for a split second and disappears, rendering the factory reset button useless. Furthermore, I'd use Kies to factory reset, but when my Note is plugged into the computer (using the cable it came with), it likes to randomly disconnect and reconnect to the computer, so I can't factory reset that way. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to what I can do that doesn't involve voiding my warranty? Thanks!

Your issue with not being able to do a factory reset may have a lot to do with the
"Reactivationg lock" option, you need to uncheck it before doing a factory data reset..
With the re-activation lock is checked I doubt you can do a factory data reset.
Once the phone has been reset, do the following:
Go to http://Sammobile.com and download the official stock N910T 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware for your phone.
Then use ODIN to flash the firmware, flashing the firmware will not void your warranty and your phone will
be in the exact same condition as when you purchased it.
Before you odin flash the firmware be sure to go into your phone's settings>security and make sure that the
"Reactivation lock" is not checked.
Also be sure you do a factory reset by going into settings>Backup and reset and do a "factory data reset"
before you ODIN flash the official firmware.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply! However, I can't perform a factory reset by going to Settings>Backup and Reset, because the "factory data reset" button does absolutely nothing when I press it (besides launch something that says "Samsung Account" for literally a split second).

Have you UN-CHECKED the Reactivation lock before trying to do a factory data reset?
You need to do that first then reboot.. The reactivation lock is in settings>Security
Then do a factory data reset.
Good luck!

I just used the recovery to eventually reset because even with the reactivation lock unchecked it wasn't working. All is good now, thanks!

Just factory reset in recovery (twrp/phills'cwm) is not the same
same thing as doing the factory data reset in the phone itself.

How so? I thought it was the same, especially since I don't have a custom recovery. Everything seems to be working fine now too.
Hi i am wondering if i am able to factory reset while being rooted? Or will my phone brick?
I feel like my battery has been draining a ****load for some reason.. I have to charge twice a day now compare to 1 charge will last me more than a day.
I am on 5.1.1. On N910T3
From what I understand trying to factory reset on your phone will always fail via stock recovery or through settings on stock Rom. I think you need to use Samsung Smart Switch OR download the stock firmware from Sam firm (My favorite ) OR Sam-mobile. r
Yes you can factory reset while rooted. Worse case scenario is you'll have to re-root.

All the times I have tried to factory reset while on stock touchwiz firmware on my s3, note 2,3, and 4 (while they have been rooted) fail. When I would use stock recovery or the settings menu to attempt to factory reset, I would get a fail message, then the phone would shut off.
When I turned it back on, everything would still be left untouched on my phone. All my apps, files, etc would be in the same place.
So in order to perform the equivalent of a full factory reset and return to full stock firmware, I would use smart switch or download the stock file and flash via Odin.
That's just been my experience with the Samsung series.

Factory reset is merely returning the device to its out the box setup. That can be done from the settings menu.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have performed factory data reset on my gionee m2 from the settings and then it rebooted to the page in which it shows formatting/data... and now it has been stuck on this screen for much time.
I tried to open it to bootloader but it doesn't open in it.
Also, the phone is non-rooted one with stock ROM.
Please help.
The phone is rooted and don't know how to reset it
