Contact Lenovo support or check the device's manual for instructions on how to perform a firmware restore using recovery mode.
4. Factory Reset using Recovery Mode - This method is recommended for all Lenovo devices. It involves accessing the recovery mode, then selecting the factory reset option. To perform a factory reset using recovery mode, follow these steps:
Unplug the device's charger and turn it off. Press and hold the Power button and the Volume-Down button simultaneously until the device turns off. Press and hold the Power button again to turn it back on, then press and hold the Volume-Down button until the device enters recovery mode.
