How to reset or factory restore Wiko Selfy 4G device?
To reset or factory restore a Wiko Selfy 4G device, follow these steps:
1. Back up important data: Before beginning the reset process, make sure to backup any important data from the device. This includes contacts, text messages, photos, videos, and any other files or settings that are unique to the device. It would be better if you have an external backup option like a computer, external hard drive or cloud storage.
2. Turn off the device: Power off the device by holding the power button down until the device shuts down completely.
3. Enter recovery mode: Press and hold the power button down, then press and hold the Volume Up button at the same time. Continue holding both buttons until the phone enters recovery mode.
4. Update the device: If there is an update available for your Wiko Selfy 4G device, install it before proceeding with the reset.
5. Wipe data/factory reset: In recovery mode, you will see the "Wipe data" or "Factory reset" option. Select it and confirm the action.
This will erase all data on the device, except for the pre-installed software. Once the data is wiped, you will be prompted to set up the device as a new one.
6. Restore from backup: If you have an external backup, connect it to the device and select the backup file from the recovery menu. This will restore the data back to the device.
7. Reset to default settings: If you don't have any data or backups, you can reset the device to its default settings by selecting "Reset all user data" in the recovery menu.
Once you have completed the reset process, the device will be reset to its factory settings. You will need to set up the device as a new one, including adding your phone number and resetting any other security settings. Also, make sure to update your device with the latest firmware, as the reset process may have wiped out any updates that may be important for the device's stability and functionality.
Please note that, Resetting to factory reset can be risky, as it will erase all data on the device including important files, if the device does not have a backup it will be difficult to retrieve deleted data. Therefore, it's recommended to backup your data before soft resetting or factory resetting your device.
