How to Perform Safe Hard Reset on Vivo Devices:
Have you ever faced issues like freezing, crashing, forgotten passwords, or lagging on your Vivo smartphone?
Sometimes, the best solution is a safe hard reset โ a method to restore your phone to its original factory settings. But if done incorrectly, it can lead to data loss or device malfunction.
At Virani Telecom, we help you handle mobile repair smartly and safely. Here’s your complete guide on how to safely hard reset any Vivo device without damaging it.
๐ก๏ธ What is a Hard Reset?
A hard reset, also known as a factory reset, clears all data on your phone and restores it to the original factory settings. It helps resolve issues like:
- Forgotten screen lock password or pattern
- Software glitches and bugs
- Freezing or crashing apps
- Unwanted virus or malware
โ ๏ธ Important Warning Before You Reset!
Before doing a hard reset, make sure to:
โ
Backup important data like photos, contacts, and documents
โ
Charge your device to at least 50% battery
โ
Remove your Google account to avoid FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock
โ
Note down WiFi passwords or app logins you may need later
๐ง Method 1: Hard Reset via Recovery Mode
Step-by-Step Process:
- Power Off the Phone
Hold the Power button and choose Power Off. - Enter Recovery Mode
Press and hold the Volume Up + Power button together until the Vivo logo appears. - Navigate Recovery Options
Use Volume buttons to navigate and Power button to select. - Select โWipe dataโ
โ Choose Wipe data
โ Then select Wipe data (Keep phone data) or Wipe data (Clear all) depending on your need. - Confirm and Reboot
โ Once wiping is done, choose Reboot system.
โ Wait for the phone to restart.
๐ Note: The wording may slightly differ based on your Vivo model (e.g., Vivo Y20, Vivo V23, Vivo T2x).
๐ ๏ธ Method 2: Hard Reset via Settings (If Phone is Working)
If your phone is still responsive, you can reset it directly from settings:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on System Management
- Select Backup & Reset
- Choose Erase all data (Factory reset)
- Tap Reset phone
This method is safer and preserves phone functionality better than recovery mode.
๐ What If My Vivo Phone Is Locked?
If youโve forgotten your password, the recovery mode method (Method 1) is the best way. But remember to remove your Google account before resetting to avoid getting locked out by Googleโs FRP security feature.
โ After the Reset โ Things To Do:
- Reconfigure Google Account
- Restore backup data if you saved it earlier
- Update your apps via Play Store
- Secure your phone with a new password or pattern
๐ Final Thoughts (Safe Hard Reset Vivo Devices)
