How to reset or factory restore BLU Dash X Plus LTE device?
The most common and recommended ways to reset or factory restore a BLU Dash X Plus LTE device are:
Method 1: Using Hard Reset
Hard reset is a process in which the device is reset to its factory state by rebooting it several times. To perform a hard reset on a BLU Dash X Plus LTE device, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the device by pressing and holding the Power button until the device shuts down.
2. Press and hold the Power button once again until the "Charge" and "Home" buttons flash 10 times.
3. Release all buttons, and wait for the device to boot up. The boot screen should have the "Dash X Plus" logo for a few seconds before entering onto the Home screen.
4. Once the device has booted up, go to the settings menu and press and hold the Volume-up button and the Power button at the same time.
5. Release the Power button and wait for the device to boot up into recovery mode.
6. In recovery mode, select the "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" option and wait for the device to reset. The device will prompt you to confirm the reset, so select "Yes".
7. The device will then go through the reset process, which may take several minutes.
8. Once the reset is complete, the device will boot up to the Home screen, and you will have to set up your device as if it were new.
Method 2: Using the Stock Firmware
Using the stock firmware is another method of resetting or factory restoring a BLU Dash X Plus LTE device. Stock firmware is a software update that reverts the device back to its factory state, and it can be downloaded from the BLU website or by contacting the manufacturer directly.
1. Go to the BLU website and download the latest version of the stock firmware for your device.
2. Connect the device to your computer using a USB cable.
3. Enable USB debugging on your device by going to Settings > Developer options and enabling the USB debugging switch.
4. Open the command prompt on your computer and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the firmware.
5. Run a fast boot reboot command to ensure that the device goes into recovery mode:
fastboot reboot bootloader
6. Once in recovery mode, select the option to:
Install updates from a computer
7. Select the Stock firmware ZIP file that you downloaded earlier and wait for the device to flash the firmware.
8. Once the firmware flashing is complete, the device will reboot and requires you to set up your device as if it were new.
Both methods are effective, and you can choose one based on your preference and circumstances. However, using the stock firmware method may require more technical expertise, while the hard reset method is simpler and less risky.
