How to reset or factory restore BLU G71L device?
When you are facing any issues, bugs or glitches on your BLU G71L device, or just want to sell or give away your phone and want to wipe out all your data and settings, you may want to reset or factory restore your device. However, it is important to note that when you reset your device to its factory settings, all your data, apps, and settings will be removed and you will have to set up your phone from scratch. In this article, we will discuss the most common resetting methods for a BLU G71L device.
Method 1: Using recovery mode
The first and most common method to reset a BLU G71L device is by using recovery mode. This method will allow you to access a recovery menu where you can select to reset your device to factory settings or wipe the cache partition. Here are the steps to access and use recovery mode:
1. Turn off your device.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time until the device turns on. Release both buttons.
3. Select "Recovery mode" using the Volume and Power keys.
4. Once you are in recovery mode, select "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm the action.
5. Select "Yes, delete all user data" and confirm.
Method 2: Using a physical button
Another method to reset your BLU G71L device is by using a physical button. This method is typically used when you cannot access the recovery mode menu, either because your device is locked or because the recovery button is faulty. Here are the steps to use this method:
1. Turn off your device.
2. Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time until the device turns on.
3. Release the Power button but continue holding the Volume Down button.
4. Wait for the factory reset icon to appear on the screen.
5. Select "Yes, delete all user data" and confirm.
Method 3: Using a PC or Mac
If you have a computer, you can use it to reset your BLU G71L device via USB cable. The following steps will guide you on how to do that:
1. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
2. Open the device manager and locate your BLU G71L device.
3. Right-click on your device and select "Properties".
4. In the Properties window, select "Toolkit" and then "DFU tool".
5. Locate the DFU tool on your computer and download it.
6. Open the DFU tool and connect your device to it.
7. Select "Restore" and choose the DFU firmware file for your device.
8. Wait for the DFU tool to install the firmware file on your device.
If you have tried all those methods and they do not work, you may want to contact BLU customer support for further assistance.
