Will it affect my Root SU or SPRecovery? Will I have to redo Root, SPRecovery, etc?

02-05-2010 01:41 PMYeah a factory reset only removes ALL of your data...like personal data that you've put there...settings, apps, contacts, etc. But once you reboot and sign back in to your Google account, your contacts will be back. And also, your apps should be in the Dowmloads section of the Market once you sign in
