Will a factory reset take me back to iOS7?

Having upgraded the iPad Air to 8, will a factory reset now take me back to the 7 it shipped with, or will I just end up with a clean install of 8?
Thanks

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Will not factory reset!!!

I've been getting the notices to install update to 4.0.4. When I begin the install the phone will automatically restart and go to this black screen with white google logo....and just freeze there forever. I've tried this a bunch of times always the same result.
So I did what verizon told me to do and that is to do a factory reset. Went into the settings app and did factory reset, but my phone did the same thing again!! It just has a black screen with white google logo and it just stays like that forever!!!! I tried this many times too all with the same result.
Then I tried doing the alternate method of a factory reset as shown here: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=51446#alternate
The alternate method also has the same result too in which there is a white google logo on a black screen.
Can anyone tell me how I can get this phone to do a factory reset????
I feel like my only options is >Post edited to comply with VZW ToS< or get a crappy refurb phone. What do you guys think I should do?

Tidbits,
Would you know what my problem is....? I have an unmodified Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I've had all kinds of issues with installing the IMM76K over the air. I've been getting the install notices and when I click install, it reboots, but the only thing I see is a black screen with a white google logo and it'll stay on this screen forever. Only way to reset is to pull out the battery. I've tried this multiple times all with the same result. Finally, I gave up and did as recommended by Verizon and that was to do a factory reset. Interestingly (or unfortunately), when I do the factory reset, it restarts and all you see is a black screen with white google logo and it stays on this screen forever. Only way to get out of it is to pull out the battery. I tried the alternative method of factory reset which is to hold down the power and volume buttons, but I got the same result too, in which it freezes on a black screen with white google logo.
Can you please tell me what might be wrong with my phone. Again, my phone is not modified in anyway. Thanks.
It seems like something is wrong with my system, or my bootloader. Additionally, my phone has really been solid, no dropped calls, no loss of reception, nothing weird, so I'm really hesitant in getting a refurb phone that might have additional problems.
Anyhelp from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Will a factory reset delete my apple account and my cellular service?

My ex took my iPad and did a factory reset. Will she be able to use my apple account? Will my cellular plan still be active? We are currently living in Japan. My cellular plan is from SoftBank Japan.

This describes a factory reset:

Will a factory reset remove my carrier information?

Like I said in the title, I'm needing to do a factory reset on my iPhone 4s, and I'm need to know if it'll remove my carrier settings (my own number) so I'm not without a phone for any longer than I need to be. I am currently running iOS 7.

Carrier settings and account information are stored on the SIM card.
Nothing on the SIM is touched during a restore.

What is lost when resetting all settings on iPad

What is lost when resetting all settings on ipad2

This is copied from the iPad User Guide for 4.3 - the book version that can be downloaded from iBooks.
Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Enter your passcode if you have one. All your settings are reset. Information (such as your contacts and calendars) and media (such as your songs and videos) aren’t deleted.
Essentially, you reset preferences like the way that you had brightness set, your home screen layout, WiFi settings, sounds, alerts, that type of thing. It will reset those things to the factory settings - just like it was out of the box.

Yes, a System Recovery will definitely increase system performance. You should do a backup of your personal data before beginning. I do a system recovery at least once per year. I like the feel of a computer with no glitches.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT4623 factory reset for iso 6 iPad

I would like to reset my iPad 2 to factory settings so I can pass it to my granddaughter . I just updated to iso6 . Thanks

Setup as new
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Having the same problem with Aol not sending my mail and getting error message. If I delete this account, what will happen? This is on my iPad, and I also have a gmail and Yahoo account.

This happened after I was hacked.

If you delete that account from your iPad, all messages from it will be removed. You can then go back into Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars and 'Add Account' to add it back onto your iPad.

What will I need electrically to use my IPAD in Ireland?

I am traveling to Ireland and want to make sure I can safely use my IPAD. Do I only need to get an adapter? My understanding is that the charger also serves as a converter?

Which part of Ireland would you be visiting?
And you just need the adaptor as JumHdk has suggested which will be the UK three pin plug or just one of those World travel adaptors.
Apple sells the ipod world kit that can be used for the iPad power brick.

Factory reset - the what, why, and how for Gingerbread

I wanted to share this information regarding a Factory Reset and how it is used for Gingerbread - both the what, why, and how - in case anyone is interested in the details. If you embark on this process, this thread is worth a close read. thanks to d.harris for writing this up for the SOAK group. good luck everyone and remember, YMMV.
First, what does a "factory reset" do? The short answer is: it will return your phone to the condition it was in when you first purchased it EXCEPT the Android version will match your phone's latest update. For example, I had Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) on my phone before the "soak". My phone was updated to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread or "GB") during the "soak". I had some trouble with video performance in the Fox News app and missing album cover art in the Google Music app. So I decided to do the factory reset. After the reset was finished, my Droid X still had Android 2.3.3 on it but all of the settings had been restored to their factory defaults. And presumably, all Android operating system (OS) caches had been flushed. All of the data that was stored in my phone's memory was cleared. So my contacts were all gone. And I had to reactivate my phone (*228 1) just like a new phone and reenter my Google account info.
Does a factory reset actually clear the entire contents of the phone's memory and re-install Android from scratch? (That's what I wish it did.) But I'm not sure that it does that because the entire process seems to go too fast for that. However, a factory reset does seem to do a better job of cleaning out the remnants of the previous OS (Froyo 2.2.1) than a standard "update" does. But that's not all.
The factory reset also clears all of the apps that were installed in the phone's memory. And it clears all of the app data that was installed in the phone's memory. So you will have to reinstall all of your apps from the Android Market (or wherever they came from). Normally, you do not have to pay for them again because the Android Market remembers your previous purchases as long as you register your phone with the same Google account.
However, the Android Market does not remember the free apps that you installed---so you should make a list of all your apps before you reset your phone so you won't forget the free ones. The reason I wrote "installed in the phone's memory" above is because a factory reset gives you a choice whether or not to clear your phone's micro SD memory card. If desired, it will leave it alone. So any apps or data will still be present on your card after the reset. However, your phone will not be aware of the apps on the memory card because all "knowledge" of them will have been erased from your phone's internal memory---you'll still have to reinstall ALL of your apps. But the data files will still be there. Regarding the "built-in" apps that come pre-installed with Android, they will also be restored to their original state and version when you do a factory reset. So you'll need to update some of them (like updating Google Maps and updating Adobe Flash from 10.1 to 10.3).
Before you do a factory reset, you should have a fully charged battery becaues you do NOT want to run out of power in the middle of a reset---that could "brick" your phone. I always take an extra precaution: in addition to a fully charged battery, I also connect my phone to AC with the Motorola AC-to-USB charging adapter that came with it. Not only does it insure that I won't run out of power, it also keeps my battery fully charged so I have a 100% charge after the factory reset (you'll have a lot of work to do afterward to reinstall your apps and restore all of your Android and app settings back to your preferences).
Here's a pre reset checklist:
• Export your contacts to your SD card so you can easily restore them later (Contacts/Dialer menu > Import/Export > Export contacts to: SD card).
• Make a list of all of the apps that you installed (Android menu > Manage Apps > Downloaded tab).
• Get a copy of your Google account login info (user name and password).
• Get a copy of your Verizon Backup Assistant PIN (if you use this service).
• Turn off your phone and pull its battery. Wait 30 seconds or more and reinstall the battery and turn the phone back on. This will make sure that there is nothing hinky in your phone's volatile memory as the factory reset begins.
• Fully charge your phone's battery and plug the AC charging adapter into the phone.
Now you're ready to do the deed. Follow these steps:
1. If it's not already on, turn on Google's "back up my data" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Back up my data. This is required for the next step.
2. Turn off the "automatic restore" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Automatic restore. This will prevent your phone from trying to download every paid app that was previously on your phone all at once. It is much better---especially if you have a lot of apps---to install them one at a time. Plus, you may not want some of them to be reinstalled right away if you are trying to determine if one of them is causing trouble under GB 2.3.3.
3 If you do not want to use Google's "back up my data" service to restore your wi-fi passwords and such, then return to Step 1 and turn it off.
4. Begin the factory reset with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. You'll be asked to confirm that you really want to do a factory reset and you'll be given the opportunity to clear your micro SD memory card as a part of the process. I chose not to clear my memory card because I have a 32 GB card with "tons" of music and other files that I do not want to have to restore (it would take hours).
When should you do a factory reset? Everyone should do it before they give their phone away, sell it, or discard it. You don't want someone else to have access to your personal data! And, a factory reset can be a helpful troubleshooting tool when faced with problems.
By the way, my factory reset did not help the video problem I was having with the Fox News app nor did it enable Google's Music app to find all of the album art on my micro SD card. Both problems persisted after the reset under GB 2.3.3.
Finally, there are other things you can do to flush old data from your phone such as clearing the cache partition of your phone's built-in memory. This requires the use of its "Android system recover" menu. Even though I expect this cache data to be cleared during a factory reset, I did it after my reset just to make sure. Clearing the cache partition is usually what folks try before a factory rest so they can (hopefully) avoid the factory reset. I'll leave it to a Motorola staff person to go into that.

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...
