Location Settings, Factory Data Reset

Factory Data Reset

When you perform a Factory data reset, all your personal information is erased from the phone, and all settings are returned to the factory defaults. All data will be erased, and cannot be recovered. A factory data reset also erases the key for decrypting files stored on an optional installed memory card, so files on the card cannot be used after the reset.

1.From home, tap Apps > Settings > ACCOUNTS tab.

2.Tap Backup and reset > Factory data reset > RESET DEVICE.

3.Tap DELETE ALL to confirm the reset.
