Here are some of the most common and recommended ways to reset or factory restore a LG G350 device:
1. Backup your data: Before proceeding with any resetting or factory restoration process, it is recommended to back up all important data from the device such as contacts, messages, photos, videos, and other apps on a computer or external storage device.
