How to Reset TECNO Phone: Soft, Factory, and Hard Reset Guide

Soft Reset (Force Restart)

• 💡 A soft reset is used when your TECNO phone is frozen or experiencing issues, acting as a force restart.
• ⚡ To perform a soft reset, simultaneously hold down the power key and volume up for a few seconds until the phone restarts.
• ✅ This operation does not erase any data and can sometimes fix problems with crashing apps.

Factory Reset from Settings

• ⚙️ If you know your pattern or password, you can perform a factory reset through the phone's settings menu.
• 🎯 Navigate to Settings > System > Reset phone.
• ⚠️ Within the reset options, you can choose to reset Wi-Fi settings, app preferences, calibration parameters, or erase all data.
• 🗑️ Selecting 'erase all data' will remove all internal storage, including accounts, apps, photos, and user data.

Hard Reset (Recovery Mode)

• 🔒 If you've forgotten your password or pattern, a hard reset can be performed using recovery mode.
• 🔌 First, power off your TECNO phone completely.
• ✊ Then, simultaneously hold down the power key and volume up until the phone vibrates twice, then release.
• 🤖 You should see an Android robot; hold the power key and press volume up once to access the Android recovery menu.
• 🧹 Use the volume keys to navigate to 'wipe data/factory reset' and the power key to confirm.
• 🔄 Select 'factory data reset' and confirm again to begin erasing all data.
• 🚀 After the data wipe, select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone.

Post-Reset Setup

• ✨ Once your phone reboots, you will need to go through the initial setup process, similar to when the phone was new.
• 🔑 Remember to enter your previous Google account credentials during setup, as it's required for activation after a factory reset.
