OPPO Reno 14 FS 5G: How to Perform a Hard Reset via Recovery Mode

Reasons for a Hard Reset

• 💡 A hard reset is useful for removing a forgotten screen lock on your OPPO Reno 14 FS 5G.
• 📌 It can also help fix general software issues or prepare the device for a new user by erasing all data.

Powering Off and Entering Recovery Mode

• 🔌 To begin, power off your OPPO Reno 14 FS 5G by holding the power button and volume up, then swiping down.
• ⚡ Once the device vibrates and is fully off, press and hold the power button and volume down simultaneously.
• 🚀 Release the power button when the OPPO logo appears, but continue holding volume down until the language selection screen is visible.

Formatting Data

• 💬 Select English from the language options.
• ⚙️ Choose the "Format data" option from the recovery menu.
• 🔢 You will be prompted to enter a confirmation code (e.g., $24.90 or 2146), which changes each time and is unrelated to your screen lock.
• ✅ After entering the correct code, click "Format" to initiate the data wipe.

Reboot and Setup

• ⏳ The formatting process is quick, and a "Data formatted" message will appear. Click "OK".
• 🔄 The device will automatically reboot and continue the reset process in the background, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
• ✨ Once the reset is complete, you will be presented with the initial setup screen to configure your device.
