Factory Reset

---

Just as an FYI if you run the factory reset, it will ERASE the "32gb internal memory" also.

That is ****ing retarded! So every time I need for wipe for custom ROM I need to back up 32 GB worth of data!?!

Moto - you really ****ed up here again because you did not apply any brains. I now have to factor in 3-4 hours of backup and restore time for every wipe.

Well. "Factory Reset" to me would mean an "Out of the box state" - meaning all yo **** be gone.

My wifes Optimus S wipes the SD card with a factory reset as well. Never done one on my Epic, but I would assume it's the same.

Can I just say... I thought this was obvious.

Any device with built in storage will wipe that storage on a factory reset. Also, right under where it says "Factory data reset" it also says "Erases all data on tablet".

tbh, it's your own fault if you lose data doing this.

This is actually what I expect from a factory reset! I even wish it would not just delete the memory but overwrite it with zeroes or something.

Is this the 'Factory Data Reset' under 'Privacy' that you speak of? If so, does that truly reset everything as if you just got it out of the box? Root/Kernels/everything?

Just asking as I need to do this since I have done something over the course of the Xoom's life that isn't allowing me to flash BRD's kernels as well as CWM isn't working correctly. Might as well start over and if this does that... then great.

I have seen all the stock dumps in the dev section, but honestly just not sure how to do a complete 'back to stock' wipe.

Thanks...

EDIT: Some info from their site: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhe...ory-data-reset

Doesn't answer my question on whether it will affect the kernel and/or whether rooting it has any effect. Anyone know?

Its interesting. On my atrix, it leaves all my data and even flashing the sbf. Only wipes the system data and replaces it. Not data. Dont know why the xoom would do it.

So if it sounds right it would delete EVERYTHING on the internal wtf I would need a 64 micro SD for backing up later on

Moto needs to fix this
