Huawei P Smart 2020 - Reset via recovery mode

Warning: Proceed with caution

Resetting your device via recovery mode involves advanced steps and can be risky if done incorrectly. Follow the instructions below carefully, as selecting the wrong option may cause unintended consequences.

How to reset your device via recovery mode

If you’re unable to reset your device through the settings menu due to a malfunction, using recovery mode can help. Keep in mind that this process will erase all data, so back up anything important before proceeding. Follow these steps to reset your device safely.

Resetting your device via recovery mode

1. Turn off your phone: power off your device and wait a few seconds.
2. Enter recovery mode: press and hold the Volume Up, Power, and Home/Bixby buttons simultaneously until the Android logo appears.
3. Wait for the recovery menu: once the logo appears, wait a few seconds for the recovery menu to load.
4. Navigate to factory reset: use the Volume buttons to highlight Wipe data/factory reset and press the Power button to confirm.
5. Confirm the reset: navigate to "Yes" using the volume buttons and press the Power button to proceed.
6. Complete the process: your device will now reset and reboot to its factory settings.

This method restores your phone to its original state, which can help resolve issues that prevent access to the standard reset options.
