Doing a factory reset has some advantages for a few purposes. One of the big ones is wanting to remove all Data from the device.
This is handy if you plan on giving the device to someone else and don't want to give them your contacts or any other information.
In some circumstances it can even be handy to just start over especially if you have some minor issues and you assume the issues are Data related.
If rooted its a great way to wipe the Data and Cache area's to prepare to change the ROM of the device.
1. First thing you got to do to start the process is turning off your phone.
2. When your phone is turned off you have to press and hold both Volume down button and power button at the same time.
3. When you will see LG logo on your screen you can release those buttons.
4. Now there should be a recovery mode menu on your screen.
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 now your phone will restart itself so please wait patiently. Good job!
A hard reset, also known as a factory reset or master reset, is the restoration of a device to the state it was in when it left the factory.
All settings, applications and data added by the user are removed.
The term is often heard in reference to smartphones and tablets but laptop and desktop computers, as well as most other electronic devices, can usually be restored to factory conditions.
