HARD RESET SOLUTION

Function of a Hard Reset (Factory Reset) on Realme C15

A hard reset (also known as a factory reset) restores your phone to its original factory settings by erasing all data, including apps, files, and settings.

🔹 Main Functions & Benefits:

1️⃣ Removes Software Issues – Fixes freezing, crashing, lag, and system errors.
2️⃣ Unlocks Phone (Forgot Password) – Helps bypass lock screen if you forget your pattern, PIN, or password.
3️⃣ Deletes All Data – Erases photos, apps, contacts, messages, and settings (like a brand-new phone).
4️⃣ Removes Viruses & Malware – If your phone is infected with a virus, a reset can eliminate harmful software.
5️⃣ Fixes Boot Loop Issues – If your phone is stuck in a boot loop or won’t turn on properly, a reset can fix it.
6️⃣ Prepares Phone for Selling – Erases all personal data before selling or giving away your phone.

⚠️ Warning: A hard reset CANNOT be undone and will delete everything. Always back up important data before resetting.

⚠️ Important Precautions:

✅ Backup Your Data – A hard reset will erase everything, including contacts, messages, photos, apps, and settings. Use Google Drive, a memory card, or a PC to back up important files.

✅ Remove Google Account (If Possible) – If you don’t remove your Google account before resetting, Factory Reset Protection (FRP) may lock your phone, requiring your Google credentials to access it again.

✅ Charge Your Battery – Ensure your phone has at least 50% battery to avoid shutdowns during the reset.

✅ Remember Your Passwords – If FRP is enabled, you'll need your Google account email and password after the reset.

✅ Remove SD Card & SIM (Optional) – To prevent accidental data loss from external storage, remove your SD card before resetting.

After Reset:

🔹 Set up your phone from scratch.
🔹 Restore your backup files if needed.
