I have questions on what exactly the factory data reset option in the privacy settings does. I have a rooted version of EC05

1.) Will this revert my phone back to Eclair?
2.) Would I have to root my phone again?
3.) Does my SD card get erased?
4.) Will the apps that I moved to my SD cards still be there?
5.) What exactly does this erase?

Thanks

1.) No
2.) Not sure
3.) No
4.) Yes, but you have to redownload them.
5.) It sets everything back to stock, as if you got it new out of the box again.
