    Nope, you have to wipe data and cache.

    Wipe data and cache is not the same as a factory reset i was having trouble with roms and traced it to a clockworkmod update that had installed an incompatible recovery file

    A factory reset Is wiping data, that's why many phones say in their recovery factory reset/wipe data. So yes wiping data and cache is the same as a factory reset.

    Wipe data will not delete photos or anything else stored in the internal phone storage whereas factory reset will
