Performing a reset through recovery mode involves advanced steps and can be risky if not done correctly. Follow each instruction carefully to avoid unintended consequences for your device.

How to reset your device via recovery mode

Resetting your device using recovery mode can help resolve issues when the standard settings menu isn’t accessible due to a malfunction. This method will erase all data, so back up any important information before proceeding. Below are the steps to reset an LG device through recovery mode.

Resetting your LG device via recovery mode

2. Access recovery mode: press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until the LG logo appears.
3. Re-enter recovery mode: release the Power button briefly, then press and hold it again while continuing to hold the Volume Down button.
4. Navigate to factory reset: use the Volume buttons to highlight "Yes" and confirm with the Power button.
5. Confirm the reset: highlight "Yes" again using the Volume buttons and press the Power button to confirm.
6. Reset process begins: your device will now reset and reboot to factory settings.

By following these steps, your LG device will be restored to its original factory settings. This can help resolve issues preventing access to standard reset options.
