Hard Reset Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
Before anything else, make sure that you know the Google account that is used in your phone because you will be using that after the reset. Failure to do so would result to the phone being locked up. So, if your device can actually boot up, it’s better to do the factory reset than this one. But if the device has some difficulty booting up, then you have no other choice but to do this procedure. You may lose your files if you didn’t have an opportunity to create a backup.
Here’s how the hard reset is done on Galaxy S10 Plus:
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
- When the green Android logo displays, release all keys (‘Installing system update’ will show for about 30 – 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight ‘wipe data / factory reset”’.
- Press Power button to select.
- Press the Volume down key until ‘Yes — delete all user data’ is highlighted.
- Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
- When the master reset is complete, ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
Again, setup your phone properly after this reset and make sure to use the same Google account. You may restore your data if you’ve saved them in the cloud or just set the phone up like new.
