Once you do, you can release the buttons.<\/li>\n<li><b>Choose English.<\/b> When you are on the boot screen, you must select the language. Use the volume down button to select English and then press the power button to confirm your selection.<\/li>\n<li><b>Choose factory reset.<\/b> You&#8217;ll now be presented with a menu. Use the volume buttons to select <b>Factory Reset<\/b> and press the power button to confirm your selection.<\/li>\n<li><b>Reset device.<\/b> On the next screen, use the volume buttons to select <b>Yes<\/b> and use the power button to confirm.

Performing a factory reset can help us get our device working correctly, but it\u2019s important to remember to take one important step before hitting the reset button: backing up your data. Here are three things you can do to protect your data:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Create backups to the cloud.<\/strong> Many of us use cloud storage to store and share files. If you don\u2019t have a cloud account already, consider creating one before resets. It\u2019s an easy and secure way to store important information and documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eliminate clutter.<\/strong> Before you reset, it\u2019s a good idea to clean out the clutter on your computer. Get rid of any unnecessary files and programs. You\u2019ll be glad you did when the reset is complete and you don\u2019t have any old programs bogging down your machine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perform regular backups.<\/strong> Don\u2019t wait until something goes wrong to do a backup: set yourself a regular backup schedule. This will keep your important data safe in case something goes wrong.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taking the time to properly back up our data isn\u2019t always the first thing on our minds when we\u2019re in the middle of a technical emergency, but it\u2019s essential to ensure that your important files and documents are secure. Don\u2019t take shortcuts: back up your data and proceed with your factory reset.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-time-to-reboot-enjoy-your-renewed-android-experience\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Time_to_Reboot_Enjoy_Your_Renewed_Android_Experience\"><\/span>4.
