You will not lose root from a factory data reset. All an FDR does is wipe caches, davlik, and system cache. It does not replace files or software, like it would if someone were to odin a firmware tar.

Thats exactly what it says to do in the instructions in the op.

Read and Follow the instructions in this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55495211

Lol, yes it will... If you set a pc running odin on top of it.

Curious as to if this works or not. Could you be so kind to report back afterwards?

Did you flash the kernel after you flashed the update?

So...take us through the steps you took to update and root.

We need more info. Did you freeze/uninstall anything? Does it have SafeStrap installed? Custom rom? Xposed modules? Or anything else?

You're welcome. As long as you're just doing a FDR, you will not lose root. But just incase something does go wrong backup in TiBu or SS first.

You do lose apps and data. So what I do is keep supersu on my sd so i can install it when the phone boots up.

Personally, I havent had this experience happen, or heard of anybody else haveing this problem. I dont think it is a software issue. Since you said that it has happened with two different cables, and your friend hasnt experienced it im thinking it might be the charging port on your phone.

No, you won't lose root.

Could be charger port/cable damage. Have you tried a different cable?

It takes a few reboots to show up sometimes.
