OK here is my main question out of this whole topic.. OK now i want to do another factory rese OK factory reset for the second time has been done again... MAIN QUESTION >>>> after i do the second factory reset of coarse right after using RESTORE on CLOCKWORK MOD will my stock ROM will fully reset to factory reset like if had never used the RESTORE on CLOCKWORK? Or after you used RESTORE the stock ROM will never return to be the same doing a FACTORY RESET as it was before using RESTORE? iam asking because this restoring thing could be like flashing a phone so maybe the stock ROM or what ever ROM you are using it could never be the same after RESTOREING on CLOCKWORK... Iam trying to be as clear possible. that way I explaind the things that i had donde or that i want to do to be sure that iiam doing the right thing... By the way where is that ADVANCE RESTORE that you are talking about??

You are confusing me.so ill explain how clockwork works and how factory reset works..
Clockworkmod makes a full nand backup..aka it freezes everything you currently have into an image.
When you do factory reset all it does is wipe all the cache and delete user data and user installed apps. If your say using a custom rom with apps pre-installed..it will wipe all apps that are 3rd party, even the pre-installed apps unless they are registered as system apps..
Advanced restore is under Backup and Restore, its an option to do advanced restore in clockwork...its the opposite of factory reset..it restores your user data from one rom to another without restoring the actual rom..note that this can have side effects when transferring from one rom to another..
