“Reset” on iPhone 5s, iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 4s, iPhone 7, iPhone 6s and so on implies many varieties: basic reset, full, hard with removal of all contents or restoration from backup copy.

In this post we will look at all the meanings. Before you begin, make sure you know what type of reset you need.

A basic reset solves many problems, but not all. In some cases—for example, when the phone is completely frozen and unresponsive to pressing the Sleep/Wake button—you'll need to reboot, which is called a hard reset.

A hard reset reboots your phone and refreshes the memory in which apps are running (don't worry, it doesn't delete your data)—you'll have to start from scratch.

In most cases it will not be necessary hard reset, but when you do this, do the following actions:

1. With the phone screen facing you, simultaneously hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button in the bottom center.
2. When the power off slider appears, do not release the buttons. Hold them both until you see the screen go dark.
3. Wait for the Apple logo to appear.
4. When this happens, you can let go and the iPhone will reset.

How to reset an iPhone correctly - hard and soft and for all versions of iOS

Even though it sounds scary, there may come a time when you need to reset your iPhone.

Just before we continue, it's important to know that you can do two different types reset operations:

A soft reset is a simple reboot. This is useful when some of the applications are not responding properly. This is also necessary if your phone cannot get important functions to work, such as turning off the phone by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button.

Hard reset - completely erases all information on the phone, restoring it back to factory condition. This is generally useful if you are planning to sell your phone or just want to start from scratch.

The steps listed below are based on iOS 7.1.1, but they apply to previous versions iOS, with minor differences user interface. Performing a soft reset is quite simple.

1. Simply press and hold both the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
2. You can release both buttons once Apple logo.
3. Your phone will go through the normal startup process.
4. You will be returned to your home screen.

I mentioned this above, but it's worth mentioning again that a hard reset will completely erase all content from your iPhone.

So if you still have any contacts, photos or anything that you want to back up, do so before following the next steps.

Method one - hard reset directly from iPhone

• Go to settings.
• Click General.
• Scroll to the very bottom and click Reset.
• Click "Erase all content and settings."
• Click "Remove" iPhone. iTunes (download it here) will begin restoring the phone to its original state.

Method 2 - Reset using iTunes

As mentioned in Method 1, I suggest you perform a hard reset directly on the iPhone itself, but if you're more comfortable using iTunes on your desktop/laptop, follow these steps.

Connect iPhone to your desktop computer/ laptop.

1. Launch iTunes.
2. Once your iPhone is detected, press the iPhone button.
3. On the Overview tab, click the Restore iPhone button.
4. You will be prompted to create a backup of your iPhone. If you want to back up all your data, go ahead. In this guide, we will erase everything without a backup.
5. Click "Restore". iTunes will then begin restoring the phone to its original state.
6. Once the process is complete, your iPhone will restart and you will be presented with a "Slide to Setup" welcome screen, like when you turned on your iPhone for the first time.

This quick guide explains the difference between a soft reset and a hard reset and shows how you can use each when needed.

If you have another method that you think is easier, drop us a message in the comments section and we'll be happy to look into it.

There are other problems associated with this, such as iOS not responding or not turning on.

If for some reason reason Apple will change the way you reset or turn on your phone before we can update this article, you can see the latest method on Apple's website.

How to Hard Reset iPhone 7 Series

The hard reset process is slightly different for the iPhone 7 series. This is because the Home button is no longer a real button on these models. This is now a 3D Touch panel. As a result, Apple has changed how these models can be reset.

On the iPhone 7 series, all the steps are the same as above, except you don't hold down the Home button.

Instead, you must hold down the Volume Down button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.

The reboot and hard reset instructions in this article work with the following models:

• Restore to factory settings: If you want to erase all data from your iPhone and start from scratch (this may solve some hard errors and is also good if you are going to sell your iPhone), try restoring it to factory settings.
• Recovery mode. If your iPhone is stuck in a reboot loop or can't get past the Apple logo during startup, try iPhone Recovery Mode.
• DFU Mode: When trying to downgrade your iOS or jailbreak your phone, you will need DFU (Disk Firmware Update) mode.

How to reset iPhone or iPad to factory settings

Resetting your iPhone or iPad to factory settings is good way fix the problems and if you want to sell it or give it away.

In solving problems, a reset can be quite effective if your device is frozen or suffering from problems that you cannot identify.

Modern electronic devices are very complex and can glitch from time to time.

Resetting can fix random problems that cause the device to freeze on a loop, become sluggish, or otherwise degrade performance.

If you want to completely reset your device, then you need to take a few steps, but first of all make sure you have a backup.

If not, you can use iCloud or iTunes to create it. For iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and make sure the feature is enabled.

To use iTunes, you need to connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer using a charging cable.

Once you're sure you've backed up your iPad or iPhone, you're ready to perform a factory reset.

To perform a reset, go to Settings > General > Reset, then select Erase Content and Settings. After entering your password, if you have set one, a warning window will appear.

You will need to enter your Apple password ID to confirm the action, after which you will return to initial settings, which you saw when you first used the device.

Is it possible to save data after resetting an iPhone?

Almost certainly not. Data on iOS device are automatically encrypted, and resetting the device destroys the encryption key, making it more or less impossible to get anything back once everything is completely wiped and reset without access to the backup.

In an emergency, you can try talking to Apple employees, but that's at least, a long process.

Restoring iPhone or iPad

Once the factory reset is complete, you will need to start setting up your iPhone from the beginning; entering your data, WiFi password and a few other things until you get to the page that asks you how you want to set up your iPhone.

You have three options: “Set as new iPhone", "Restore from backup iCloud copies"or "Restore" from backup iTunes copies- Select the iCloud option and you will be prompted to enter your account information iCloud recordings.

Once you do this and agree to the terms, your iPhone will begin to recover all your data.

Obviously this can take a while if you have large backups or a slow internet connection, so don't try this if you're in a hurry. Once the backup is complete, your iPhone will restart and then begin the big job of downloading all your apps.

Recover iPhone or iPad using iTunes Backup

As in iCloud instructions which we have already described, follow the instructions on the screen " iPhone setup" and then select "Restore" from iTunes.

You will be prompted to connect to iTunes, so connect your iPhone and you will see iTunes screen, which will give you the option to restore the backup.

Click Continue and your iPhone will be set up automatically, with apps restored from your iTunes backup.

When everything is ready, you will have a freshly prepared system. Hopefully, any problems you encountered before are a thing of the past. Good luck.
