A reset is not the first step for every issue

Describe what is wrong and when it started. Include your phone model and any error message. FixIT first assesses whether basic setup could help and whether a reset makes sense for your case.

Save your data and check your account

A factory reset erases data on the phone. Check backup and Google account access first. Review photos, conversations and important app data separately. Restoration depends on what was saved and on the application itself.

Agree on the reset and final checks

Do not send your password in a message. Sign in to your own account during setup. We agree on checks after the reset: calls, internet, accounts and required apps. Instructions vary by manufacturer; we do not bypass account ownership protection.

Official guidance

Check the official documentation for the procedure on your device.
