Welcome, in front of me is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and today I will show you how you
0:06
can hard reset this device to the recovery mode. Before we get started, you will need to grab a cable and have it plugged into your computer
0:18
That is so we can boot the tablet into recovery mode. Now, I should also add that this will allow you to get rid of a screen lock if you have
0:25
one set that you don't know. So I will be progressing from the lock screen as though I don't know it
0:31
And additional info is, if you also have a Google or Samsung account signed in on the
0:36
device, once you go through with this, you will need to verify either the previously
0:42
used screen lock or the Google or Samsung account that was signed in on the tablet when
0:48
the reset is finished. So just want to point that out to people that think that they're just going to be able to
0:52
remove a screen lock and have access to the device, there will still be a requirement
0:58
to verify one of the two. And when it comes down to the account, it will pick Samsung account over Google if there
1:08
are both. But if there is only one, obviously it will pick that one
1:13
So yeah. Now, I'm going to plug in our device right away
1:18
There we go. And when you plug it in, from here you want to hold your power button and volume down
1:25
because we won't be able to turn off the device without doing so because we would need to
1:30
provide a screen lock. Just a little bit of a, you know, caveat, annoyance, shit, little thingy thing from
1:36
Samsung just to annoy you a little bit further. We can achieve the same kind of thing as powering off or at least rebooting it by holding these
1:44
two buttons, power button and volume down. And that's what we're going to do
1:48
Now, with that being said, I recommend interacting with the display because otherwise it just
1:55
times out after like a couple of seconds. So even when you're holding the buttons, it will time out
2:01
Probably like right now. Yep, there we go. And it might mislead you to think that the device turned off instead of just screen turning
2:14
off itself. Anyway, power button, volume down, interact with the display
2:24
Once it turns off, switch to volume up, so power button and volume up
2:28
And when you see the Galaxy logo, you can let go of the power button, meaning the second part
2:35
And as you can see, this boots us into the recovery mode
2:39
So just to recap, hold power button, volume down, tablet turns off, and you switch from
2:46
volume down to volume up. And when you see the Galaxy, because first we have Samsung, then Galaxy shows up, you
2:53
want to let go of the power button, keep holding volume up, and this will take you right here
2:57
So once we have our recovery mode visible, we can unplug the cable that was only needed to get us in here
3:02
Another little annoyance from Samsung. When using volume buttons to navigate, you want to select Wipe Data Factory Reset, and
3:11
then confirm it with the power button. I'm going to select Factory Data Reset, and Reboot
3:23
So you confirm it using your power button
3:37
And as you can see, reset is now finished, and you can set up your device however you like
3:41
Now like I mentioned before, you might need to verify the account if you had one signed
3:46
in, so it will force you to connect to Wi-Fi. In any case, if you found this video helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe, and
