3. Check if there is a VCF file on the memory card or in the phone's internal memory.

How to restore applications

After resetting the settings, Instagram and another program are not installed. What can I do to install applications?

Answer. Restoring applications after a hard reset is usually straightforward.

Some Android apps require more later version OS on your phone. After a hard reset, you roll back the version of Android to the one that was installed by the vendor. Therefore, for good, you need to download Latest updates phone firmware. You can do this through the settings.

To reinstall all applications, just connect Google account user. Applications will be downloaded and installed on your phone automatically - in their latest version.

What to do if the phone does not work after a hard reset

1. I have htc phone One V, and after the reset, the phone stopped working. The screen turns on, the HTC logo appears, and nothing else happens. What to do?
2. Clicked on reset to factory settings. Now the phone says Secure Fail: Recovery and a yellow triangle. inside a black exclamation mark and again neither here nor there. The phone does not turn on for a long time, what should I do?

Answer.

Method 1. Perform a factory reset again - with the removal of all data from the internal memory of the phone.

Since you do not have access to the Android OS, you can do a hard reset through the hardware buttons. For this:

1. Remove the battery and put it back in the phone
2. Press and hold the volume up button
3. In addition to this, press and hold the power button

Then you will enter the recovery mode to factory settings.

Note. The hard reset method is different on many android devices. See the manual for your smartphone for details.

Method 2. If repeated hard reset does not help, install an alternative - unofficial - firmware. We advise you to look for instructions on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum.

Lost access to account after factory reset

1. Lost phone. When they returned, I realized that they tried to reset the settings, but could not, because the Google Account interfered. How can I now log in to the phone, given that I do not remember either the password or the login?
2. I accidentally reset my phone and lost my Google account. I tried to restore it, but it popped up: insufficient evidence. What should I do?

Answer. The problem is solved quite simply. You need to go to this Google page and answer the questions. If the account belonged to you and at the same time you had recovery data (for example, a backup Email or phone number), you will be able to restore access and "link" the account to the mobile device again.

Restoring filenames

I had a problem with the phone: if someone called while using it, a message appeared that the Phone application was stopped. I asked on the forum and they said that you need to reset the phone settings. After the reset, the problem was solved, but it turns out that the music was in the phone's memory. Is it possible to restore it or at least find out what kind of music it was?

Answer. You can't restore music. Find out the names of the files - yes, but only if they are stored in the file table. To do this, use the method of recovery from internal memory, which we described in this guide. This procedure is rather complicated and time consuming.

Phone memory full

I had an automatic factory reset on my tablet with Android v4.0.3. After that, I can’t download the application, writes: internal memory is full, free up space. But the memory is clear. What should I do?

Answer. Although at hard reset user data is deleted, the phone memory is not completely cleared - unless you have specified the appropriate item in the menu.

Try manually deleting the files. The most convenient way to do this is through the Root Explorer file manager or the Storage Analyzer utility for Android.

Internet not working when setting up phone

1. I forgot the password to unlock my Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 phone. After resetting to factory settings and after the greeting, only the search for a Wi-Fi connection is turned on, the "Next" button does not work. What to do?
2. I recently did a factory reset. Everything was fine, I turned on the phone, chose the language, connected to the Internet, then the "connection test" download went on. This download is already worth the second day, I don't know what to do.

Answer.

1. Try setting up your phone via a different wifi network (maybe the problem is with the wifi router).

2. Enable usb debugging on your phone 3. Download and install custom Android firmware for your device (rather unsafe method, only suitable for experienced users!)

Phone notes deleted after reset

Restored factory settings on Android, but forgot to transfer phone notes to another phone. What to do in this case? Is there any way to recover text notes?

Answer. If you previously stored text notes in the standard Google notepad application, recovery is unlikely: after a hard reset, all application settings are deleted.

However, if you set up synchronization with Samsung Cloud, then you can easily restore notes to Samsung app Notes by re-syncing them with your account.

2. To recover data in the internal memory, we recommend a simple program DiskDigger for Android. You can download it at Google Play..

My friend caught a lock virus on a Microlab phone. Naturally, no one wanted to pay hackers to unlock it. I reset the phone to him completely and now the language selection screen appears and after searching for Wi-Fi. It doesn't go further. Inserted SIM cards, still does not let go further.

On the phone (samsung a5) the glass was replaced and the phone was reset, photos and videos disappeared. Is it possible to recover and how? Tried through your program - it did not work.

Answer. Curious to know what recovery programs you used. The question also arises, where did you look for the deleted data - in the internal memory or on the sd card. As it was written above, a factory reset erases internal memory, so you will need utilities like DiskDigger for Android. Another recovery method is through creating a snapshot of internal memory and then searching for files on it.

Android 5.1 Lenovo A2010. I wanted to update, but I clicked on the factory settings and all the necessary photos and videos disappeared. I downloaded the Tenorshare Data Recovery program, but I can't open it, i.e. does not open on the phone. What to do to restore deleted photos and video?

Answer. Really. Tenorshare Data Recovery can only be run from a computer. It is not a fact that with its help you will be able to return data after a hard reset (that is, reset to factory settings). You need a way to recover from internal memory. See answers above where we answered a similar question.

I made a hard reset on the lg D724 phone, after synchronizing everything. But I missed the most important thing - notes from the notepad application. The wife had a lot important information in notepad. Can you please tell me how to restore it?

Answer. Try the EaseUS MobiSaver program. We have not tested, but the developers claim that MobiSaver can recover notes. However, it is important to note that after a hard reset, the internal memory is erased, and not all applications can work with it. So, to be honest, there is very little chance of getting back text notes after a reset.

I have samsung galaxy s7 edge. The problem is that when I entered the camera, she gave me such a notification "Camera error warning", after which every time I enter the camera the phone gives such an error. I reset the phone to factory settings, but it did not help ... clearing the cache in the camera settings and reset her data, but all my efforts were even, nothing helped.I went to the service center, they said that they did not have the equipment to disassemble and see what was wrong with the phone, and in return they could send it to Moscow for repair, but it will take weeks or more I don't need it Is it possible that if I roll back the phone to previous version OS, that is, on 6.0, since I have 7.0. Or just reflash the phone. Tell me if it helps? If not, then help and tell me a couple of ways to fix this error.

Answer. Go into Android safe mode and check if the camera is working. This will help identify whether additional applications, installed by you or together with the firmware, to the camera.

Perhaps you are using custom firmware - if so, we advise you to find alternative versions or flash your phone to the official firmware.

If resetting to factory settings really did not help, you need to contact service center Samsung or, as you mentioned, send it to Moscow for repair.

Phone reset to factory settings, how to recover data from phone? Tried through applications from Google Play, almost all of them require root. What is it and how to get it?

Answer. Root access (or superuser rights) gives recovery programs access to file system android full control, including deleting and overwriting files. Although, in fact, recovery programs only need access in read mode.

Even if you find an application that does not require root, the chances of recovery will be extremely small. Try installing KingoRoot apps ( root installation in a few steps) and DiskDigger for Android should work.

After resetting the Prestigio NK3, the system writes that the sd card is not supported and offers to format it. The reset was carried out with the card removed. There is a lot of necessary data, tell me if there is a solution?

Answer. Most likely, hard reset in no way affected the safety of data on the memory card. If you removed the memory card while other files were being written to it from the phone, the file table of the sd card could be damaged. You need to connect it to a computer or laptop through a card reader, check for errors in reading the standard Windows utility. If the bugs are fixed, the sd card should open on the phone. If not, Recuva or DiskDigger with Dig Deep mode should find all files.

Wife made a hard reset on the phone Samsung Grand 2 Duo without making a backup copy. Photos and music are not so important, all phone contacts were lost and it was not possible to restore application data from Play market. In all applications, everything had to start over. Can you please tell me how to restore it?

Answer. The likelihood of recovering user data from applications depends on each application individually. So, if the user data was stored on the sd card, then you can recover the data. Otherwise, after a hard reset, you need to scan the internal memory in an attempt to find each individual application file (the probability of doing this is quite small).

Phone contacts can be imported from a SIM card - of course, if you take care of a backup copy of contacts in advance. Check if contacts have been synced with your account Google entry and assigned to it by the Contacts service.

Smartphones on the Android platform are the most popular today. Most users give preference to them, someone, relying on the ease of use and availability of all services, others are based on the low cost of gadgets. Regardless of the reason for the choice, problems with the operating system often occur for all owners. Often, the only possible way out of the situation is a complete reset of the system. Today we will talk about just that. Let's figure it out.

When a system reset is required

To begin with, let's figure out in what cases such a solution is necessary. After the end of the process, a reset phone will be in the user's hands, the device's memory will be completely cleared, and, consequently, the video and other content stored on the device. At the same time, the updated version of the software is not reset and you will not have to upgrade to a new one.

Many fear that they will lose all data completely. If they are stored on removable media, then you don’t have to worry about their safety, everything will remain in place.

In what situations is it advisable to perform a factory reset.

• In case you are going to sell the device. This will help to completely remove all user data from a smartphone or tablet and get a clean device.
• If your gadget starts to slow down, you see that the internal memory is full, while not having a lot of applications and data. A smartphone often accumulates various garbage that overloads the device; it should be removed periodically. Resetting the settings is not the only solution to such a problem, but it is very effective.
• Resetting the settings will help in case you are away from your gadget. But in this case, you should be prepared for the fact that user applications will have to be restored again, and the content stored in the internal memory will be lost.

Resetting the settings can solve a lot of problems. And the only negative in this case is the need to re-download all the necessary applications. But in general, the process will not take much time. In most cases, this issue is resolved by a preliminary state backup.

Preparatory stage

Before moving on to detailed description process,how to reset android to factory settings, it is necessary to voice the points necessary for preparation.

• To prevent data loss and minimize subsequent recovery time, you must perform a backup or transfer all content to external media or a computer. You can make a backup directly in internal funds smartphone.
• The second is very important point– Sufficient charge level. If the battery is close to depleting, you will not be able to perform a factory reset. Turning off the power during the reset process can lead to very unpleasant consequences, because many smartphones block reset attempts when the battery level is low. Make sure that more than half, but rather connect the charger and proceed with the reset.
• In accordance with Google's security policy, many devices, when turned on after resetting, require you to enter data from the last account. Otherwise, access to the gadget can only be obtained through a service center. To exclude this moment, you should delete the current account and only then proceed to reset the settings. This approach is relevant for pre-sale preparation.

No other preparatory steps are required.

It is not uncommon for smartphones operating on the basis of the Android OS to begin to malfunction. Trouble options can be a banal software error or a situation where a virus has infected the operating system: for example, a banner virus that blocked the screen. Each time you download another program to your smartphone, the risks of a system failure increase, since any third party programs and their settings may affect the correct operation of the smartphone.

Often, you just need to thoroughly clean the internal memory of the device. In all of the above situations, a factory reset (or factory reset) is the best option.

What you need to restore the factory settings of the smartphone

The factory settings are standard set programs and settings installed on a specific smartphone model by the manufacturer before the release of the device. Resetting to factory settings actually destroys the data, settings, files, applications uploaded by the user, thereby returning the original “clean” working system.

Resetting the smartphone to factory settings can help solve a lot of problems that arise during the operation of the phone. In the absence of direct damage to some parts in the device, this will solve the issue of freezing, unauthorized shutdown and other failures.

It is important not to forget that immediately before the reset to default settings, you need to make sure that the data from the mobile is saved to another medium (photos, contacts, notes, music, other information). Typically, data is stored in cloud storage, on computer, removable media etc.

How to factory reset your mobile phone

There are several methods by which you can restore the factory settings on a smartphone on the Android OS:

1. Program. It helps in cases where the device is still functioning and responding to the manipulations of its user.

2. Hardware. When the device does not boot, it is performed using standard non-touch buttons around the perimeter of the panel: volume, on / off.

How smartphone recovery methods work

First way – software reset to factory settings

In the event that the smartphone boots up, it is recommended to perform a soft reset without resorting to a cardinal hard reset option.

· To start the cleaning procedure, you need to go to the phone menu, find the settings shortcut and click on it.

In the "settings" we look for an item or sub-item called "Restore and Reset" (an option is possible - " Backup and reset"). Important! Remember that by now backup copy all important information should be ready.

Next, click on the "Reset settings" item (the option is "Data reset", "Restore settings" or "System Restore"). The system will warn the user that all data and Personal settings will be deleted from the internal memory of the device.

· Having finally decided, we confirm our choice - click "OK" or "Erase all" ("Delete all"), after which the process of resetting all data to factory settings starts. After a while, the device will appear to its owner with a clean internal memory and standard factory settings.

Secondway – hard reset to standard settings

In the event that the device categorically does not want to turn on, the cause of the malfunction may be a software failure of the operating system itself. For this kind of trouble, experts provided a hardware reset, carried out by pressing the keys on the phone panel. In order to reset the settings, you need to completely turn off the device.

· Important! We first save all personal settings and important data to a previously created folder on personal computer user via USB cable.

After that completely turn off mobile device, remove the SIM card, as well as removable memory cards, battery.

Re-insert the battery into the phone and press the "Power" button and the volume up button.

· After a couple of seconds, the display will turn green, and after a while, red (other options are possible). After that, release the held power and volume buttons, and press the "Power" button once.

· The recovery menu will appear on the smartphone display, where the “wipe data” item will be highlighted (actions are controlled using the volume down / up buttons - up / down, and the action selection is confirmed with the power key).

· Now you need to confirm your choice "Yes -- delete all user data" and click "Enable".

Thus, the process of restoring the operating system to factory settings was launched. After a couple of minutes, the phone will be cleared, after which the device must be rebooted.

The hard reset of the smartphone has been completed.

Also, there are options for restoring a smartphone using a factory flashing. For example, for Highscreen smartphones, factory firmware is posted on the technical support website.

Hard Reset (hardware reset, hard reboot) - Reboot the device, which restores the factory settings of the system and deletes all user information, including installed programs, contacts and SMS. Deleted information cannot be recovered after this procedure, so it is recommended to save all important data before resetting.

Important! Data from memory cards, SIM cards, internal memory of the phone is not deleted (data can be deleted from the internal memory and memory card during a soft reset by selecting the appropriate menu item).

Why do you need a Hard Reset?

Hard Reset is used as a last resort in case of errors and malfunctions in the device, when it is impossible to eliminate the failure by other methods. The fact is that the more complex the device, the greater the likelihood of various problems occurring in it during operation: multiple installation and reinstallation of programs, cluttering up the device’s memory with various files, etc. and it is usually impossible to establish the exact cause of the malfunction. The device may become unstable, slow down, or even not turn on at all. Hard Reset will return the device to its original state, canceling any actions with it.

Soft reset

If the smartphone / tablet is booting, then resetting the settings can be done through the device menu. For this:

We go to the application menu ...

…Settings…

... bookmark " Accounts"(or the item" Personal data ") and select "Backup and reset" (or "Restore and reset") ...

…Reset data (Reset settings)…

…Reset device…

…Erase/Delete All

Everything. We are waiting for the device to reboot.
