How to do a hard reset on a Samsung Galaxy. How to reset data (hard reset, factory reset) on Samsung Galaxy Samsung galaxy j1 mini after factory reset

A modern Android smartphone is a complex device both technically and software-wise. And as you know, the more complex the system, the more often problems arise in it. If hardware problems mostly require contacting a service center, then software problems can be fixed by resetting to factory settings. Today we will talk about how this is done on Samsung phones.

This seemingly difficult problem can be solved in several ways. Let's look at each of them in order of complexity, both execution and problem.

Warning: Factory reset will erase all user data on your device! We strongly recommend making a backup copy before starting manipulations!

Method 1: System Tools

Samsung has provided users with the option to reset (hard reset) the device through the device settings.

Method 2: Factory Recovery

This hard reset option is applicable when the device cannot boot the system - for example, during a cyclic reboot (bootloop).

Method 3: Service code in the dialer

This cleaning method is possible through the use of a Samsung service code. It only works on some devices, and also affects the contents of memory cards, so we recommend removing the flash drive from the phone before using it.

A hard reset is used to eliminate complex glitches with the software of an Android gadget that cannot be corrected by updating the firmware or system. In English, the method is called hard reset. Unlike turning the gadget on/off, it involves clearing user data, the cache of the Android operating system and removing programs installed through the Google Market. After you perform a Hard reset on your Samsung Galaxy S7 and earlier smartphones, the device will return to factory settings.

How to do a hard reset on a Samsung phone using Android

This method is available to users with minimal training. There is no need to hold down key combinations and perform complex operations with the gadget. Most often, the system itself successfully restores the phone and eliminates the conflict of settings made by the user.

How to find a hard reset on your phone

To complete the procedure, you need to go to Settings and select General. The Reset section contains three operations:

Reset settings on Samsung Galaxy to eliminate checkboxes accidentally selected by the user in many options on Android.
Fix network settings to resolve Wi-Fi or cellular issues.
Reset data to perform a hard reset on Android, deleting accounts, programs, music, and photos.

Select the last of these options

Attention! During the operation, data, accounts and associated passwords will be completely deleted from your phone. Please note the system warning shown in the figure below!

The fact that the settings have been reset and returned to factory settings can be determined by the invitation to specify a new account when turning on the device (first launch). Feel free to transfer it to another user or log in again under your account.

Experienced users recommend specifically resetting the gadget to factory settings to speed up its operation. For modern versions of Android mobile systems, this advice seems unnecessary. You should not resort to a hard reset to reset your phone and speed up its operation. Often it is enough to free up space on the drive and card by deleting unnecessary applications, watched movies and old photos.

What to do before a hard reset on a Samsung smartphone

All user files are deleted from the device. Therefore, before you return your phone to factory settings, we recommend that you do the following before starting this necessary procedure:

Check contact synchronization

Go to Settings, click on the Cloud and accounts section.

Select your Google account and check the Contacts synchronization date.

To force synchronization of mail or contacts, turn off and then turn on the desired option. Two arrows moving in a circle will indicate the beginning of the process.

If you get an error when trying to sync, check your network connection. For this operation, an Internet connection is required.

Upload files from a flash drive to Cloud storage

If you use data encryption on the SD card, then a hard reset will delete the access key to the files on it. It will not be possible to decipher them.

Will solve the problem of transferring data from an encrypted card to the Cloud. Use Google Drive or Yandex drive.

Samsung Galaxy S7, S8, J1 and A3 phones and brand tablets offer the ability to back up using proprietary cloud storage, which is free for the user. Find the Cloud and Accounts section and select Samsung Cloud to back up your data.

Make a backup using Android

In the Cloud and Accounts section there is an Archive and Restore item, which allows you to upload important data to a cloud service.

Use the Archive Now button to save call information, music and SMS.

After the reset, you can restore the data using the same mode.

How to do a Hard reset on Samsung galaxy S3, S4, A5 and others if the system does not boot

If your Samsung Galaxy phone won't boot, try the following options.

Turn off the gadget completely and remove the battery for 30 seconds if it is removable.
Turn on the device and hold down the speaker volume down button.
On older Duos phones released before the Samsung Galaxy S3 and running the second version of Android, you need to hold down the Menu button on the far left in the figure when turning it on.

The gadget will go into Safe Mode, which will allow the user to perform a hard reset using the method described above.

This option is suitable when the Samsung Galaxy phone does not boot in any other mode after installing third-party firmware or an unsuccessful update. A hard reset will restore the functionality of the gadget.

Turn off the gadget completely. It is better to remove the battery for 30 seconds. This is applicable for most phones, but it is not possible for Samsung N8000 tablets and the latest flagship smartphones. The battery on them is non-removable.

Press the Power, Volume Up and Home buttons at the same time.

After 5 seconds, the power key must be released, but the remaining buttons must be held for another 15-20 seconds until Android recovery appears on the screen.

You can select an operation to do a full reset to factory settings and data on Samsung using the Volume Down key. Each press moves the cursor. The English name of the required item is Wipe data/factory reset.

The described method allows you to restore the gadget and reset it to factory settings on Samsung in case of severe damage to the firmware and software, when the phone does not boot or constantly reboots.

How to hard reset a Samsung phone remotely

This method was created for lost mobile devices that can no longer be found. Remote hard cleaning of user files prevents the potential theft of logins and passwords from the gadget.

Go to the Google website.

Find the My Account item in the Russian version of the interface. Then select phone search mode. It is also available for any Android device that is logged in with a user account.

Why do you need a data reset?

Resetting device data (factory reset, hard reset, factory reset) is deleting all data from a smartphone or tablet: contacts, messages, downloaded applications, photos, music, mail settings, alarm clocks. After the reset, the smartphone or tablet returns to its factory state.

Typically, data reset is done in the following cases:

Before selling or transferring the device to another person;
If some problem occurs on the device that cannot be fixed by other means;
After updating the device software (firmware).

What to do before resetting your data

1. Copy important information from your device.

During the reset, the device memory will be cleared and all data will be deleted. If there is any important data, make a copy of it.

2. Remove your Google account from your device.

If you do not do this, then when you turn on the device after a reset, you will be asked for the account that was on the device before the reset. Without entering this account, you will not be able to turn on the device.

The first way to reset data is through the menu

The second way to reset data is using buttons

This method is used when the smartphone or tablet does not turn on or the screen is locked.

If your device doesn't turn on after resetting, you need a Google Account

If after resetting the device does not turn on (freezes)

Contact the Samsung service center; you will need to reinstall the firmware using the engineering method.
