I know that can be very frustrating so much, because unless you don't know the layout of the setup, you will never be able to set it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 You could've done the manual flash by yourself, your device has the option. You can simply hold the upper button and the power button for some time and it will show up of factory reset. From there, you can choose any option, to erase everything, or simply reset the phone system settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you aren't comfortable with the idea, taking it to a technician isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that done if I may ask because all I know about flashing any device, you will lose all your data 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I do it with manual hand flashing of the device is simply using the extra option of resetting the device to reset the system settings of the phone or simply restore it's factory settings, which will erase the entire files or data of the cell phone. I can simply hold the volume button and the power button together up to 5 secs, then it will show up options of the phone to take quick actions, that's where you'll get the option to perform manual reset of your Android phone, to reset the phone factory, or erase some settings like passwords and so on to bring the phone back to it's normal state without any password encryption.

I know about making use of resetting the phone factory settings and once I did it in the past, I lost all passwords and including my pictures, songs and video.

Factory reset is the way forward to restore any smart phone it goes too weird and unable to unlock or when it is too infected with viruses.

I wouldn't get into Factory reset if I'm not really ready to lose my login details to most of my Gmail accounts which I have more than 10 logged in once.

If you're smart phone is working perfectly for you don't try to do factory reset. Even if it has a technical issue, you can take it to a technician to use another method to repair the damage without you losing your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try doing that once I get to watch more videos on how to do it perfectly on YouTube. I don't want to mess up anything on my device.
