You will wipe all your data. Every app, setting or whatever.
Hope am not loosing my root privilege? BTW, which of the method do I apply from the mentioned above to do the reset?
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
nope you will not, personally I will wipe with CWM, there was once I did it from settings and ended up with a soft brick
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
U can use CWM n within settings as well
//Arc S rocks//
Factory reset and wipe CWM, but wipe CWM is better
Just Settings-Privacy-Reset phone.
No need to bother installing CWM and messing up system files.

HELP ME
I am sorry to intervene, but how come I always get boot loops when flashing this ROM via X Parts CWM. My phone was a 4.1.B.0.587 model, and I downgraded kernel using flashtool from .587 to .562 to root using doomlord. Once rooted, I then upgraded kernel again using flashtool. Now my phone is STOCK ROOTED with 4.1.B.0.587 model. Then I rebooted my phone to go to x Parts CWM once the blue notification LED is shown. This is when the annoying part starts.
1) Full wipe (factory wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, battery stats wipe, even went to mount and storage and did /format -data, /format-system, /format - cache, /format - sd card ext.
2) Install zip from sd card to flash this ULTIMATE HD ROM. AROMA Installer loads and viola, I am at the first stage of AROMA installation.
3) I did even checked 'WIPE' in AROMA installation. When everything is done installed, it went back to CWM and it says something like
"Okay Ultimate HD has finished installing, phone will reboot. Thanks". So my arc s rebooted and then it went to have a bootloop. WTF. Guys help me please been trying to do this for 2 days. I never had any problem when using Thillinac Ice Cream Pureness. Grrr.

So weird ;
1. Why do downgrade to root--if you unlocked bootloader you're superuser.
2.If u unlock BL, now u dont even need Xparts...which use for lock BL
3.if you answer me "my phone still lock BL"--so u cannot flash modded kernel and modded ROM
Suggest for you = > use the stock kernel which recomended by the ROM....use CWM 5.0 or higher....

Please help me i m noob to this i have rooted my xperia play via super one click root. and installed titanium backup and removed bloatware like "videos and music", "track ID" , and some games. I m on android 2.3.4 stock non unlocked bootloader untouched kernel ETC . want to ask if factory reset wont make my phone malfunctioning. Also unrooting via same software used to root and then factory reset will make it malfunction. please answer my both question cause i will prefer the first option .. I have read a lot over internet that rooting and factory reset ruins the phone . And have anyone tried this before.
Bhai factory reset means it'll wipe your data games etc. It'll not malfunction phone at all. And you can unroot via superone click

Dude m asking wheter the bloatware wont create any problem dat i hav removed , while doing factory reset.
As long as you didn't delete any important core apps, you should be fine to factory reset
No, bloatware will not cause any prob. But it should be bloatware only and not imp system app as said by jaklebott. If you got any prob. You can easily flash stock again via flashtool. So don't worry

Hi everybody,
I have a stock Xperia arc S fully stock. Today I try to root my device and after I sucessufuly complete the root, I've started to unnistall all the unnecessary apps in order to improve the device speed. I was thinking I was doing everything right but I think I have unnistalled some apps that a shoudn't. After I exit the Titaniun backup I've notice that I have no launcher, so I try to reboot the device. After that it does not pass the second logo and I don't know what to do. Last time I've had the USB Debug off and now I can't turn it on to restore via PC company and I've allready try to flash the previous kernel but I really think the problem is related to some apps that I've had unnistall. Do you think you can help me solve my problem?
Thank you for your time :l

So, I did a system only backup before installing a mod. Ok. Installed it, worked.
Then, knowing as I had a backup, I tried another mod, at that one didn't worked, resulted in a bootloop. I went to recovery and restored it.
As it was a system only, data was the same from the bootloop. Restored went ok. As soon as I booted, around 130 apps were updating. After that, I lost lock screen, my font went back to normal size (it was on small), brightness was on 50%, I lost lockscreen (and its security), home button isn't working (it vibrates, but nothing happens. Back and Menu works fine) and power menu has Turn off and Reboot only.
I already tried wiping cache and dalvik cache, didn't worked. I guess cleaning data should work, but that is my last resort. I guess cleaning data of something should do, but I'm not sure what... Anyone?
Try doing a full restore, including data see of that helps

You are talking about X, he is on Y.
For what you said, it its for Recovery for locked bootloader. For the unlocked users, works perfectly.
For what he said, yes, I forgot that at that moment.

what happened today is,
i wiped dalvik cache, cache partition and flashed a camera mod for my cell through cwm and it required me to wipe those cache and then flash the zip file. then after reboot i had to clear data and force stop the "Cyber-Shot' from settings>app.
i did it and the camera app worked for a few clicks.
lateron i got error tht no camera found so i reboot into cwm and clicked on recovery to recover the backup that i had taken before installing the camera mod. there i got success message at the same time i saw errors llike
