[Q] Wanting to do a factory reset on a rooted and bumped VS985

Hey everyone. My phone has been running like crap lately and I have thought about doing a factory reset. I just had a few questions. If I did a factory reset I'm pretty sure I lose root, but what about the custom recovery?

Also, this is what I had in mind to do - but would you mind checking to see if it would be my best route please? I am going to install a custom rom on it. But just wanted to do a factory reset / install stock firmware first before I did it.

• Download and install stock firmware. 10B I believe is what it is.


• Root it again and put the bumped recovery back on it.


• Install CM12 or another rom.

Is that pretty much what I should do?

Thanks!
