The factory-reset option in system settings on the bq ubuntu phone reverts the phone back to factory settings. Where, on the phone, is the image located used by factory-reset to reset the phone?

There isn't a factory reset image as such on the device. We support re-installing the OS in various ways, but the image needs to be downloaded then installed. It's not lurking on the device already. – popey Mar 29 '15 at 22:06
    
@popey, Then how does the "factory-reset" function on the device and the function from this answer work? – Galgalesh Mar 30 '15 at 7:02
    
I think that just deletes user data. It doesn't wind the clock back to the original factory image. – popey Mar 30 '15 at 9:54
    
@popey, can you point me to documentation about re-installing the OS? – Galgalesh Mar 30 '15 at 11:04

As popey said:

[The factory-reset option] just deletes user data. It doesn't wind the clock back to the original factory image, so there isn't a factory image present on the device.
