How to Hard Reset Data on Samsung Galaxy S scLCD GT-I9003 Phone from Settings Menu?
Attention! Because of FRP (Factory Reset Protection, that is, protection against reset), Android will ask you to enter your account login and password, which was assigned before the Hard Reset procedure. Therefore, if you plan to sell a smartphone, you must log out of your Google account (Settings - Accounts - Google - Delete account) before resetting so that the person who receives your phone can activate their profile on it.
Given the wide range of Android phones and the difficulty of describing the factory reset process for a specific model, we will show the guide using three fundamentally different devices and firmware as examples.:
- Mi A1 on pure Android, which is also used by Nokia, Motorola, OnePlus (has a slightly redesigned system) and in all devices released about the Android One program;
- Galaxy S7 running Samsung Experience. Recall that the Korean corporation is the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, so it makes sense to show this shell as well;
- Redmi Note 5 on MIUI. The products of this company are in great demand in the CIS, so we could not ignore it.
The easiest way to do a Hard Reset is through a special menu in the system parameters. Note again that the location and name of the items may differ slightly depending on the phone used. The key is to find the main recovery and reset category.
Xiaomi Mi A1 (pure Android 8.1 Oreo)
The device will reboot and you will need to go through the initial setup again as if it were a new phone.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (shell Samsung Experience)
Your phone will restart. It will remain to customize it as after purchase.
Redmi Note 5 (MIUI firmware)
Attention! As you can see, the main thing is to find the "Reset" section. In order to be guaranteed not to "wander" in all parameters in search of the desired menu, it is easier on the main page to enter the query "Reset" in the search box. Select the desired menu from the proposed list and you will immediately be taken to it. And then everything is as in the instructions.
How to Hard Reset Samsung Galaxy S scLCD GT-I9003 via Recovery?
