hard reset, aka Hard Reset, is done in two main ways. Regardless of the method you choose, take care of backing up your personal information, and also take out a memory card from your tablet and, just in case, a SIM card, if any.
1. Using the menu (if the tablet turns on)
If the tablet is fully functional, not locked graphic key, and you have the opportunity to get into the settings - be sure to use this method to make a Hard Reset (hard reset) and reset user settings to factory settings.
1. All you need to do is get into the settings and find the item Recovery and reset.
2. Then you need to select the item Reset.
4. As a result, Android will issue the last warning that you want to demolish everything, and you won’t be able to restore anything. If you have not changed your mind, choose a team Erase everything.
5. The tablet will be rebooted, and to show you the whole depth of the process, you will see a screensaver of how atoms and molecules are spinning in the belly of the Android robot.
6. This is normal, after a couple of minutes the splash screen will disappear, the tablet will start up with such factory settings and applications, as if you had just brought it from the store.
2. Through the Recovery menu (if the tablet does not turn on)
If a software failure occurred in the tablet, it stopped starting, it goes “ eternal loading”, or the device is locked with a graphic key - you have only one way out - to get into Recovery mode, i.e. recovery mode. The Recovery menu can only be accessed when the tablet is turned off. For this, a special combination of simultaneously or sequentially pressed physical buttons on the tablet, which are located on the device case, is used. This is usually the volume rocker +/-, the power button, and/or the home key. The general procedure is as follows:
1. Turn off the tablet. The battery must be fully charged. If you are not sure about fully charged, or a weak battery, it is better to carry out all the manipulations by connecting the tablet to the network
2. Hold down the key combination (examples of such combinations for your device model will be below), and wait until the Recovery mode opens
3. We move through the menu using the volume rocker (in some tablets it is possible touch control). Choose a team wipe data/ factory reset (translation: erase database / reset to factory settings). To do this, you need to press your finger, if the control is touch, or the power key, which in this case serves as a button OK.
5. After that, you need to give the reboot command (reboot). To do this, select reboot system now(translation: reboot system now)
6. The tablet will think a little, all data and settings will be erased, and it will turn itself on.
It is worth noting that each tablet manufacturer sets its own set of keys for accessing the Recovery menu, so only general methods that are relevant for different brands devices.
Attention! In the descriptions of the options for how you can get into Recovery, I will mention that the reset is carried out according to the standard, general procedure, or according to the blank. It means that you will need to use the blank with the photo described above.

In addition, a full reset does not affect the contents of the memory card. You will have to remove information from it yourself. However, remember that any deletion with the "Delete" command is easily reversible, and in case of confidential data, it is better to take care of the card additionally.

How to reset settings on android
In order to reset the settings on Android, you need to activate the system recovery mode and select Hard reset in it. Doing a hard reset on a Chinese device is necessary after copying the entire important information to another device. The decoding of all recovery points is standard for most models - Lenovo, Samsung, Xiaomi.
Recovery allows the user to roll back the operating system - Android to the factory version, clear all available memory of the smartphone. Using the Wipe data factory reset item, it is possible to save media files after resetting. System functions make it possible to restore the smartphone, remove unnecessary applications that cause crashes and errors. On Chinese phones, items are described in the language of the manufacturer or in English. To decipher the points, you must follow the instructions, which are the same for most Lenovo models(Lenovo) and Xiaomi, for this reason, no translation is required.
You bought a Chinese smartphone, and then suddenly there was a need to go to Recovery. Well, there is nothing to do - turn off the smartphone, hold down Vol (-) + Power, and the download went into recovery mode. And, what will be your surprise when Recovery opens in Chinese. They did not expect? And you, after all, were told 10 years ago, learn Chinese! Didn't listen? But in vain.
Well, come on, I don't know Chinese either, except for a few words, so let's think about how to get out of the situation. There is a very simple option, which I will write about below.
The easiest option
On Chinese smartphones “from the basement”, and not only, there are often two Recovery: in Chinese and English. With English, I hope there are no problems. To get into the English version, you need to hold down Vol (+) + Power, sometimes vice versa (you need to try two combinations). If there is a Home button, then you can use it. Chinese friends are big dreamers, and they are able to hide the recovery in the most inappropriate place for this.
Decryption of recovery in Chinese
Okay, you didn’t succeed, since you are reading this paragraph, then let’s deal with Chinese. We can do this, because, when entering RuleSmart, each visitor is given a free energy elixir, which both Asterix and Obelix will envy, because it gives the intellectual power of the level of the emperor of philosophy.
Before any manipulations with your handles, you need to make a backup so that you can roll back later, ok?
Usually, people (and non-humans too) need to perform a factory reset through Recovery, and it is in Chinese. So we will figure out how to do this using Pushkin's developments.
Instruction
- We go to Recovery
- We select an incomprehensible item in which MMC is written after the hieroglyphs.
- You press the Power button, the reset went. Now once again, gone into reboot.
Many situations may lead to the need to reset the Android system, for example: frequent device freezes, the Android system cannot boot, or the gadget unlock password is lost. "Hard Reset" is a radical solution that allows you to return the device to a working state.
Looking ahead, I note that "Hard Reset" deletes data only from the device's memory, without affecting the SD memory card, although there is option 2 that allows you to affect it too.
Attention!!! All contacts, installed applications, messages, etc. will be deleted. Before starting the reset operation, it is highly recommended that you back up your phone data! One of the backup methods is .
Option 1. Recovery Mode
Turn off the device and boot into Recovery Mode by holding a few keys together. Each manufacturer has its own buttons:
- "+" on the volume rocker and the "ON / OFF" button;
- "-" on the volume rocker and the "ON / OFF" button;
- Volume "+" and "-" together and the "ON / OFF" button;
- Volume "+" and "-" together, "Home" key and "ON / OFF" button;
- AT Chinese devices, hold down the volume key and connect the charger.
The volume up/down buttons allow you to navigate up and down the recovery menu, and the command selection is performed by the ON/OFF button. In the latest devices, control in "Recovery Mode" can be normal (touch).
Select "wipe data/factory reset", and confirm the system reset by selecting "Yes - delete all user data". Upon completion of the wipe, select the "reboot system now" option.
It will be a little more difficult to see the reset for Chinese phones. For example, in "iconBIT NetTAB Mercury XL" or "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" clone, the recovery menu is in Chinese. If you have the same situation, the picture below shows the Russian translation of the "Recovery Mode" menu.
To navigate through the menu, use only the "-" volume key, because. the "+" key is used to go back one level up. To select the highlighted command, press the ON/OFF button.
To run a hard reset of Android settings in Chinese phones, you need to select the 6th item. The funny thing is, once selected, the command will be executed without confirmation.
After a few minutes of waiting Android device will load like the first time you launch it after purchase, possibly asking you to add your Google account.
Option 2: Restore and reset
AT android settings you can see an item such as "Restore and reset". It is designed to reset the system settings and restore from a backup stored on the Internet.
Click on the "Reset Settings" option.
Scroll down and optionally check the box next to "Clear phone memory - card" to delete personal data from the SD memory card, such as photos, music and other user data. Click on the "Reset phone settings" button.
User data will be deleted and factory data will be restored.
