2 questions:
1. After ICS to JB hboot upgrade; factory reset would bring the phone back to ICS or just factory reset?
2. Factory reset formats the sd card?
You will still have jb.And you will wipe the sd also if you factory reset .I would recommend backing up music and photo's to your pc first

Had problems with the rom I was using so installed another one but it kept crashing aswell. Now everytime I turn my phone on it goes straight to the bootloader and I tried everything in recovery even factory reset but nothing is happening. Even when I connect it to the pc it isnt picking it up. Anyone know how I can completly wipe it and start again.
If you can still get to recovery flash a new rom, don't forget to do a full wipe before flashing.

There is absoutly nothing on the phone or sd card. I did a factory reset and even after that it still wont work.
A factory reset doesn't touch the system partition. Nor the sd card. Either copy a rom to the sd via card reader or mount the sd in recovery, then do a full wipe and flash the rom.

I want to do a factory reset from CWM recovery and then restore an older backup of my Leedroid Rom. Would this reset count as far as resetting the battery stats? I don't want to go over and over the process of setting up the phone, accounts, etc and restoring my apps.
Thank you.

i updated my s2 into the ics rooted. what will happen if i do the 'factory data reset' in the settings of the ICS. will it just wipe my internal card or go back to the gingerbread build?
No it will not. You'll still be on ics and whatever rom your using. Also, I wouldn't suggest you do a factory reset from within the phone or you can have complication. Boot in to recovery and factory reset from there.

Currently rooted t989 and I want to unroot, will factory data reset in can do that?
i did a factory reset via stock recovery and all my photos and documents are gone.
how can i recover them?
factory reset... clears all data.
you dont get it back.
without installing or coping anything, use any data recovery program to recover your videos and pictures.
Never done with GN, but have done with S2 on its internal memory.
I use restorer 2000 for all my recovery tasks on pc.

For clarification, factory reset / wipe data using the stock recovery clears everything (including the internal sdcard). Custom recoveries (CWM and/or TWRP) will wipe everything except the internal sdcard.

You cannot do that on a GNex.

To sum everything up: You are officially screwed. At least you learned that you need to back things up?
