How to reset or factory restore Bird S299 device?
To reset or factory restore a Bird S299 device, follow these common and recommended steps:
1. Perform a Soft Reset: A soft reset is the easiest and quickest way to clear out all the memory on your device. People usually like to do soft reset when they want to clear up memory usage or reset their device’s settings. To do this, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until the Bird logo appears on the screen. Release both buttons and wait for the logos to show up. Next, select “Soft Reset” and press and hold the Power button.
2. Perform a Hard Reset: A hard reset is a more drastic option, as it will delete all the user data and settings on your device, returning it to its original, factory state. This will erase all files, apps, passwords and any information stored on your device. Before performing a hard reset, make sure to backup all your important information to an external device, as there is no way to recover it later.
To perform a hard reset, go to Settings -> Security -> Erase data/factory reset -> Factory reset – Delete all user data on the device. You will be prompted to enter the PIN, and once that is verified, a confirmation screen will come up. Next, select “Yes, delete all user data” and press and hold the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Power button and wait for the logo is to appear.
3. Use the Home Button: You can use the home key to reset the device. Press the home key until the Bird logo comes up on the screen, then keep pressing it until it goes away and comes back again. You will then see some options on the screen, including “Erase data/factory reset”. Select this option, enter your PIN and press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until the color turns white. Release both buttons and wait for the device to reset.
4. Use the Volume Buttons: You can also use the volume buttons to reset your device. While your device is on, press and hold the Volume Down button until either the Android logo or the Bird logo appears on the screen. Next, press the Volume Up button until you see “Erase data/factory reset” on the screen. Then, select this option, enter your PIN and press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until the color turns white. Release both buttons and wait for the device to reset.
It is important to note that no matter which method you use, your data will be permanently erased and you won’t be able to recover it later. Therefore, make sure to back up any important information before resetting the device.
