[Q] Doing a factory reset to a rooted Xperia L

mugenishere · Aug 30, 2014

I have an Xperia L phone which I rooted a few months back. I haven't unlocked the bootloader AFAIR. Just rooted it.

Now I have been getting weird memory space issues. I already tried the album galleries fix, the SD-Maid, rooted and deleted junk files but it still doesn't let me install apps. So I'm planning to do a factory reset.

1) Does anyone know what exactly happens in a factory reset in XPeria L? Does it have a built-in image that gets restored? Or does it only wipe the data and cache completely?

2) Any idea whether root will still be maintained or not?

3) Is there anything that I should watch out for?

As far as I know, it wipes your data completely. And doesn't restore any factory image. And therefore you shouldn't lose root.
However, I can't guarantee it. There's nothing you should watch for and you can always root your device.

after factory reset everything will be reset to factory image..
you will loose root access for sure.

SU binary and the Superuser apk are installed on the system partition and thus not touchable by the factory reset.

Which means that...the root access should still be there?
