Hi I want to sell my Desire too so want to delete all info off it but my phone is rooted. Can I do that somehow without wiping off the custom rom which is what happens if you do a factory reset on rooted phone?
Thanks

That's not correct gavman, you can do factory reset and it won't affect the custom rom

Thanks Subway thats good so. I have Galaxy Nexus on way so I will need to clear it soon. I read on the net of people having trouble booting up after resetting on rooted phones tho getting stuck on boot screen?I guess a factory reset should not affect whats on sd card which is where the rom is saved.
