Welcome, in this video I'm going to show you how can perform a hard reset of any Android smartphone
0:12
So we got two methods by using the system settings or by using recovery mode
0:17
I'm going to show you the first one. So we have to open the settings and how we can find the reset option
0:24
We got two ways. We can just scroll down and find reset options and this smartphone we can find it in the
0:31
additional settings at the bottom. It's called the backup and the reset and here we can find factory reset option
0:41
If you cannot find this option in the settings by scrolling like that you can just go for
0:46
this top search bar, tap on it once and type reset. Right now we can tap search or just wait until this list pops on the screen
0:58
So there is the factory reset method. We have to tap on it once, click erase all data, confirm and right now we have to continue
1:09
one more time. You have to remember that we are going to reset our smartphone to the factory defaults
1:16
and we'll basically remove all stuff like music, photos, all contacts. Also if you input right here the SD card you will remove all data from your SD card
1:26
So you have to remember to remove SD card and the SIM card before performing the hard reset
1:31
When you are sure that you want to make it so click to erase data and right now you just
1:40
have to wait. Don't touch your phone, don't press any buttons, just be patient and wait until the next screen
1:46
will pop. Okay, so as you can see we successfully reset our smartphone and right now we are able to
2:07
perform the first setup of the device. And of course I'm going to complete all the steps and after that I'm going to show you
2:15
how you can perform your smartphone by using the recovery mode. So we are probably going to, you know, speed up this video
2:31
And by the way, sometimes after performing a reset our phone will ask us to enter the
2:36
password of the last logged in Google account. But in my case it didn't happen so I can just simply go forward and complete all these first
2:45
setup steps. Okay, as you can see right now we are able to use our device and right now we are going
2:55
to make the reset by using the recovery mode. So it will be definitely useful when for some reason you are not able to go to the main
3:04
settings like in this method. Like for example your phone display only the manufacturer screen or it hangs when you try
3:13
to turn it on. So if you want to perform the hard reset by using the recovery mode you have to click
3:23
and hold the power button. Turn off your device
3:34
Okay and when your device is completely turned off you have to click and hold the volume
3:41
down button and power key at the same time for a few seconds
3:46
Of course sometimes it's the power key and the volume up button
3:53
So if you don't know how it looks in your phone you can just enter on our website hardreset.info
3:58
and in the search pool you can enter your model name, model of your phone and in the
4:04
left panel at the top you have to select the factory setup and there you will find a detailed
4:09
description of this process. So power key, volume down, click and hold together when your phone is turned off and
4:18
right now you can release when the first logo pops on the screen
4:33
Alright now when you are in the recovery mode you have to select the language, you have
4:39
to confirm by tapping power key and you are moving by using volume up and volume down buttons
4:46
Right now we have to select wipe data, select format data and right now we have to enter
4:58
in input this verification code. In other devices you don't have to make it but in the Oppo you have to input this code
5:09
and right now we have to click format. Of course it works the same like in the first method so you will basically remove all stuff
5:16
from your phone including the sim card and SD card data. So before performing the reset just remember to remove all of this stuff
5:27
And now just wait, don't press any buttons, just wait to finish this process
5:39
Ok and as you can see the hard reset is also complete
5:52
So to assume you have two methods to reset your Android smartphone by using the recovery
5:58
mode and also by using the standard system settings. If you have any questions you can just leave them in the comment, remember to leave a like
