How to reset Android using the Recovery menu

Let's imagine that the worst thing has happened, and your phone or tablet with operating Android system stopped loading or responding to user actions. Or maybe you forgot the graphic key to log into the system and were unable to recover it using any of the methods intended for this. In this case, your only hope of bringing your mobile friend back to life is the same hard reset, but using more complex methods.

Reset Android settings

The Android operating system has a bootloader mode, the so-called Recovery Mode. This system mode, which, among other things, allows the user to reset Android settings to factory settings if the device refuses to boot. To get to the Recovery menu, you need to turn off your phone or tablet, and then, with the device turned off, press one of the combinations of hardware keys on it: volume control, turning on the device, etc. Depending on the manufacturer of your mobile gadget this combination may vary. Usually, to get into Recovery Mode, you need to simultaneously press the "Power", "Home" and "Volume Down" keys for a few seconds.

Also, depending on the model, the following key combinations can be used to get into Recovery Mode:

- "Power on" and "Lower volume";

- "Power on" and "Increase volume";

- "Power on", "Increase volume" and "Decrease volume".

In order not to go through all the combinations in a row, the most logical thing to do before starting the operation is to ask Google how you can get into Recovery Mode specifically for your phone or tablet model, in order to make Hard reset android.

After your mobile device will load into this mode, a menu item will appear in front of you with a list of actions that the user can perform. It may also vary slightly from device to device and allow for different operations, but in the context of this article we are interested in one item - “wipe data/factory reset” (sometimes this may just be the “wipe” item). After booting into Recovery Mode, you need to do the following:

Using the hardware keys to increase or decrease the volume, we move to the menu item we need “wipe data/factory reset” and confirm our desire to do hard reset hardware power button (or, on some devices, "Home");

Confirm your choice again by clicking the menu item "Yes - wipe all user data";

Go back to the previous menu and select "reboot system now". The system will reboot and you will see virgin Android, which the user sees when the OS first boots.

After resetting the operating system, you can restore your contacts, data, programs, etc. Be careful with batch restore custom applications(those that you installed yourself). After all, if one of them “killed” your system and forced you to resort to a hard reset, after such a recovery you will get back the same problems as before. It seems to us that it would be wiser to restore from backups only the essentials, such as contacts and messages, and minor applications can be installed manually one at a time. Moreover, resetting to factory settings does not affect the data on the SD memory card, so you can save there in advance everything that you may need after resetting the settings, including *.apk application files, so that after booting the device you can immediately access them.

As you can see, dear readers, there is nothing complicated about resetting all settings on a phone or tablet (Hard reset android) with the Android operating system. The user can do this at any time, even if mobile device doesn't want to boot into normal mode. Don't forget to regularly backup important data, take care of your mobile friend, and everything will be fine with you. Good luck!
