A Hard Reset reverts a phone to its original settings and a clean OS (Operating System) removing all data and information added to the cell phone by the mobile phone user.
In essence a Hard Reset erases everything from the phone and puts the phone back to like new condition as though it’s brand new right out of the box.
1. First thing you got to do to start the process is turning off your phone
2. Then you will have to wait few seconds and press and hold power button with volume down button together.
3. Now when you see LG logo, release the keys before the logo disapears.
4. Once you did this there should apppear hard reset screen, similary looking like this:
5. Here use the Volume buttons to scroll through the option and use the Power button to choose the highlighted area wipe data/factory reset.
6. And this is it! Now you know how to perform hard reset on your device.
Despite the focus on the hardware issues, just like with the factory reset, this process is pretty invasive.
Since hardware and software work hand in hand, the action will still erase all the data stored on your smartphone.
Apps will also be uninstalled and settings will once again require a detailed restore and personalization.
