Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Hard Reset
🔧 What is a Hard Reset?
A hard reset (or factory reset) restores your phone to its original factory settings — just like when it was brand new. This process erases all data, including apps, files, settings, and accounts.
⚠️ Important Reminders Before Doing a Hard Reset:
- Back up everything important — photos, contacts, messages, documents, etc.
- Remove your Google account to avoid FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock.
- Go to: Settings → Accounts → Google → [Your Account] → Remove
- Charge your battery to at least 50%.
- Know that everything will be erased after the reset.

🔒 Factory Reset Protection (FRP)
If a Google account is still linked to the phone, it will ask for it after the reset. This is a security feature. So make sure to remove your Google account before resetting, unless you know the login details.
