Do you lose root if you do a factory reset? Sprint LG G3 Lollipop rooted with avicohh's one click root. In Settings>Backup & Reset>Factory Data Reset
No, you will not lose root access.
Factory reset deletes your data partition, cache and dalvik cache.
Your system partition will not be touched.

Are you sure about this?
While I'm not familiar with "avicohh's one click root" method I'm 100% sure that doing a factory reset wont remove your root access.
Factory reset does nothing to system partition. You will still have root.
Thanks.

on doing a recover from back up do you need to wipe data and all?
Nope. Maybe wipe cache and stuff to be sure. But if you're restoring a backup wiping everything out wouldn't matter anyways

Typically you just need to wipe your data cache [not factory reset] and dalvik cache. If you experience boot looping or prolonged splash screen, do a battery pull and wiper everything [including factory reset], the re-flash your rom.

yes do all for the cleanest install, I only do this if switching ROMs, or a developer tells you too in his updated thread. Some do it after every update. Basically I just overwrite old ROM with new update, which doesn't erase your data(always wipe dalvik and cache prior to doing this). Wiping data erases everything you've done to the newly installed ROM. Sometimes not doing a clean install even from the same ROM update can cause issues with certain apps that are reading your data. I had this issue with one app last update to jellybomb jb ROM.
Assuming you mean factory reset when u say wipe data. If u actually choose the "wipe data" option it will wipe internal sd.
But yes all 3 should be wiped, however factory reset usually wipes cache and dalvik-cache too. So factory reset by itself should do just fine
Hi. Wanted to hard reset my phone through stock recovery in my asus 5Z. Like soft reset (Settings -> Backup and Reset -> Factory data reset), if I perform reset through stock recovery, Will my internal data like music,photos and downloaded data will also gets erased? I just want to keep my data and reset my phone to system settings..

If you have TWRP, then take a backup and after data wipe, restore data

Unfortunately unless you have twrp, stock recovery will format both userdata and data.

Is there a way to do factory reset without losing all my data ie photos, videos, texts etc.

Yeah do a back up first, "factory" reset is self explanatory.

What I meant is wiping system without wiping data, as can be done when rooted
If you wipe System, you wipe everything. Same if you try to delete windows on your PC...nothing will work anymore...like said in post above...backup is the only way
Root the mobile.
Wipe system partition and keep user partition. First take backup. Then try this. User partition has most of the data.
