How to save data

There are many ways in which you can preserve important information. Thanks to them, in the event that something happened to the phone (does not turn on, freezes, etc.), you can easily restore all information on the smartphone after resetting it to factory settings.

How information is stored:

1. A backup copy can be created using the Sync Manager application or other archivers.
2. Titanium Backup saves backup backups.
3. Cloud services (DropBox, CloudMail, services from Google, OneDrive) will help to save large amounts of multimedia information.

A factory reset is necessary if the phone starts to work slower or if you want to quickly clear it of all unnecessary things. Before carrying out the reset procedure, be sure to save all the necessary data (contacts, graphic content, information from notebooks). After a reset, this data cannot be restored.

There are situations when rolling back a device to factory settings is the best solution to an emerging problem. You can perform a reset in several ways: through the reset device itself, or using a computer. ...

Why reset

Hard Reset - rollback operating system to the default values. Performing a reset deletes all files and third-party applications from the device memory and returns all settings to the factory settings. By resetting the system, you will get a clean device, that is, it will be in the form in which it was in the store.

A reset can come in handy in the following situations:

• the device began to freeze due to a large number of installed programs;
• the system began to freeze due to overloaded memory;
• there are many files left in the file system from remote applicationsthat take up free space;
• the device is being sold, so you need to delete all personal information from it;
• you need to reset your password as it was forgotten.

As a result, it turns out that the reset must be performed when it is necessary to format the device.

How to save data

Since resetting the system erases all data (videos, photos, music, pictures, books and other items) from the device, it is strongly recommended that you consider in advance how to save all important information. The easiest way is to transfer all your important files to a memory card or computer. The reset does not delete the items stored on the SD card even if it is inserted into the device, but it is better to remove the memory card for the duration of the operation just in case.

Another way is to create a backup, which will store all the files. After performing a reset, you can restore the system from a previously created backup, and all items and applications will return. The positive side of this method is that you will not lose not only files, but also applications. The negative side - if the reset is carried out in order to clear the device of unused files, then when restoring from a backup, the files that you wanted to get rid of will also be restored.

Copying is carried out using the Google service and only via Wi-Fi, since the amount of information is too large to be downloaded via the mobile Internet. Go to device settings, open the "Restore and reset" tab and make sure that the automatic backup function is enabled. The copy will be linked to your Google account, and you can recover from it after you reset. The device itself will offer you to use the found copy.

Activating file backup

Reset device

There are several ways to reset your device. The easiest one is through the system settings.

Through settings

This option can be used if you have access to the system. If you forgot your password, or the device freezes at the boot stage, preventing you from entering the system, then use the method described below.

Through the recovery menu

If you have a turned off device, but there is no way to turn it on, then this method will suit you:

Via computer

This method will help you enter the recovery menu if the previous method failed for some reason. Connect the device to a computer using a USB adapter and specify "Charging only" in the connection type. Download the archive with the ADB program and unpack it into any folder, the path to which does not contain Russian letters. In the resulting folder, create a file called devices.cmd, where cmd is its extension, and write three commands in it:

• echo off
• adb devices
• pause

Run the created file, a command line will open on the screen with the following commands already written:

• D: \\ adb\u003e devices.cmd
• adb devices
• List of devices attached
• HT16GV402012 device
• D: \\ adb\u003e pause
• Press any key to continue ...

Done, the program is installed. Now open a command prompt as administrator and use the adb reboot recovery command in it. Your Android device will automatically go to the recovery menu, and the further steps you need to perform to reset are described above in the "Through the recovery menu" sub-item.

We enter Recovery Mode through the computer

What to do if the password has not been reset

If you reset the device in order to remove the password from it, which you forgot, and after the end of the procedure, the system still asks you to enter it, that is, there are two ways out of this situation. The first - enter the wrong password five times, a message will appear on the screen stating that the device is locked for 30 seconds, as well as a "Forgot your password?" Click on the button that appears, you will be asked to log into your Google account, which was previously linked to this phone or tablet. If you enter the required account, you will be able to reset your existing password.

Recovering the password to the device through a Google account

Reset password via ADB

The second option is to reset your password using ADB. How to install this program is described above in the sub-item "Via computer". When you're done with the installation, run a command prompt as administrator and run the following options in it:

• adb shell
• cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
• sqlite3 settings.db
• update system set value \u003d 0 where name \u003d 'lock_pattern_autolock';
• update system set value \u003d 0 where name \u003d ’lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently’;
• .quit

If these commands did not help, then use the adb shellrm /data/system/gesture.key command or adb shell
rm /data/system/gesture.key.

How to recover data after a reset

It was previously described that in order to save data, you need to create a backup files or transfer all important items to another medium. If you have not done this, but at the same time reset the device, then most likely you will not be able to recover the lost information. But it's worth a try: get root-rights on the device, and download to your computer any program designed to recover deleted files on Android. For example, you can use EASEUS Mobisaver for Android Free.

Good afternoon!

No matter how "smart" the Android system is, it still happens to it from such moments when you have to resort to resetting the settings (it is also called Hard Reset). For example, this often happens when there are problems with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, with an overload of the phone's memory, when inexplicable brakes and freezes appear, etc.

You can also face this task if you suddenly decide to sell a phone (after all, you would not want a stranger to see your personal correspondence ?!).

I want to note right away that in the process of resetting from the device memory all applications and games, all SMS messages and contacts will be deleted, accounts mail, etc. In general, the phone / tablet will be completely with the factory settings (approximately the same as it was upon purchase).

Note! If you have an SD card installed, then all data on it will remain intact * (at least that was the case with the devices I worked with)! Those. it is the device memory that is cleared!

Therefore, if you have the necessary contacts, photos, videos and files - before resetting, save them to hDD PC or cloud storage (for example).

Actually, now you can get down to business ...

Method 1: through system settings

Perhaps this is the most obvious and easiest of all methods. Suitable in any cases when you can safely enter the Android settings (I know that this is not always possible, therefore, if you have a more global problem, see the following paragraphs of the article).

And so, you need to open the "Restore and Reset" section in the Android settings. See example below.

Then click on the button "Reset phone settings" ... Please note that the system will also warn you that data from your Google account, all applications and data in them, music, photos, videos, etc. will be deleted.

Actually, in this way, there is nothing more to comment on ...

Method 2: via Recovery mode (or Factory mode)

If your device is frozen, there is a problem with entering the settings menu - in this case, the reset can be done through the special. menu "Recovery mode / Factory mode".

To call it:

Method 3: using service codes

If you know the special. codes, then you can seriously change the settings of the Android system. There are codes for resetting the settings (i.e. going to the factory state of the device).

Note! The codes below may not apply to all devices (especially new ones that are constantly being changed ...). Therefore, all codes below are presented for your reference (I am not responsible for your device and software).

Entering codes is quite simple. You must switch to dialing mode and enter one of the following options:

1. *2767*3855#
2. *#*#7378423#*#*
3. *#*#7780#*#

Entering the service code (Do not play with the codes just like that - you can easily erase all the data ...)

Method 4: how to delete data from phone / tablet if it was lost

Unfortunately, almost everyone gets into trouble in life. One of these is the loss of a phone / tablet (I am not even considering the reason now: was it stolen, or simply dropped, or something else ...). The main thing is that you do not have it in your hands, but it contains a lot of confidential data (and that you would like to delete as soon as possible).

1. In this case, you need to log into your account from your computer to;
2. Next install the application (direct link to Google Play) ... Note that applications can be installed on a smartphone, even if you do not have one at hand.
3. Then by going to the application website Find My Device , you can:

• erase all data from the device;
• call him;
• or just block.

In devices based on the Android operating system, there is a section with which you can reset the settings (Hard Reset) of a tablet or smartphone, which, by the way, we are talking about. Some users are wondering what will happen.

A factory reset is necessary for the user if, for example, he wants to get the device in its original form, since when the settings are reset, absolutely all data is deleted, including photos, videos, applications and other files, and the system returns to its original state, including all settings. It is for this reason that it is necessary to make a backup - saving data in case you still have to do a Hard Reset. Phone numbers can be retrieved using your Google account if this information is synced with your account.

Example based on huawei smartphone... Go to settings.

Select the "System" section.

Here - the line "Reset".

It remains only to tap on the "Reset phone settings" button.

By the way, you can use the menu search by key discharge.

There are other reasons for a factory reset as well. So, the device may start to work slowly, slowdowns, glitches, etc. appear. If this is associated with any application, it is advisable to delete it and check the system's performance, but if you do not know what the matter is, you can reset the settings.

So the only drawback of a factory reset is data loss, which the system warns about. Some users do not know this, and then they wonder where all their photos, musical compositions, videos, etc. have gone. Once again, if you need this data, before resetting, transfer it somewhere else, for example, to a computer or cloud storage. After the reset, you can download them back to your device.
