Let me know your way below.

for unlocked Android devices with Custom Recovery Installed, I recommend the following step for erasing the phone memory: Power off your Android phone> Press and hold the Volume Up button and the power button for 1o seconds and your phone will boot into recovery mode> wait for the software update time out and about 1 minutes later your phone will go into Recovery mode> Use volume buttons to navigate to the option “Wipe Data / Factory Reset”. Press the Power button to confirm> Next choose “Yes - delete all user data”, and your phone will reboot to factory reset> Select “Reboot System” after the process complete. If you have some backup data before, revert them to your phone.

Thanks for sharing

Plz make a same video on Samsung phone...

[@joelcampos3804]

Thanks

[@jamesbroderick3394]

Best way is to use iShredder Professional to erase the data with their 50 password or whatever option after deleting all your data with device encryption on using a very long password with capitals, lower cases, special characters and numbers. Then after it finishes perform a factory reset. Do all of this three times and then run iShredder random on the free space - you can download the app for free from Apptoide. It is near on impossible on Android to securely erase data - I performed many tests. There were always remnants left over. This was the only way that worked. I hate iPhones but admittedly one factory wipe on an Apple device genuinely does securely erase all your data because they use full hardware encryption and wipe the data securely encrypting all the data with two very complex OTP passwords

[@elviraeloramilosic9813]

I use the exact same method. Even wiping data twice as well. Very useful, thanks a lot.

[@Britec09]

Glad it helped

[@loisribeiro1235]

No one can recover it right

[@rloedits]

@@loisribeiro1235 Do it like 10 times and youre 100 sure no one can recover your data

[@blastshieldaddiction]

When I need a phone erased I just hand the phone to my wife. The more expensive the phone the faster she drops it and destroys it.

[@HolyOrderofDragons]

Or let Your teenage kids use it for a few days. Especially teenage girls it seems are the fastest ones to break it.

[@Britec09]

Kids always drop phones.

[@JohnJohn-ts6ux]

@@Britec09 maybe you should accessories for the phone like covers good quality one, you should do a video about it that be good idea👍

Unlocking Android devices through the manufacturer's developer website is just a spectacular way of re-imaging one's phone.

[@arnob1711]

[@naeem8434]

[@JuansTechZeroUnit]

I have a question, how can I prevent my Android device from being physically turned off even if it is password locked, in case of theft?

[@maheshnalaka8113]

Is that delete permanently already deleted data also?

[@jeanhawks4682]

If I have transferred all my phone number and my data to a new phone will this affect the new phone?

[@nahpets2345]

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 6A, and I'm planning to get a Poco F1.

[@yandhi4202]

so if your phone is encrypted, and you wipe your phone via factory reset 2 times, can someone recover your old data if they know your android phone's pin/pattern?

[@lisb748]

I'm not tech savy 70 + years old. should I do this hard reset if I'm returning the phone to Verizon

[@davidsweeney111]

is it similar for iPhone?

[@Britec09]

Yes, you can do same to iPhone

[@loisribeiro1235]

[@buddysmith7080]

I did the erase full storage and wipe empty space several times and all of my data is still there. Should I be removing the SD card 1st?

[@waynewilliams8815]

Wow, those new phones are so complicated. Both my daughters have them and they keep making fun of me, because I'm still using a 9 y/o LG flip phone which I plan to keep until either it or I die.

My android 11 samsung phone don't have encryption option.

[@icarouchoa1304]

Anyone know how to make this with Samsung phone? I'm looking and can't find

[@chevyiii]

There's no way to Encrypt Phone, Samsung S20+, USA. (The only encrypt function available is for the SD Card)

[@Britec09]

use shred it play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burningthumb.android.shredit&hl=en_GB

[@AroundIndiana]

The newer Galaxy models have encryption by default

[@darkmatter8650]

I don't know why Android OS throught the time the performace is terrible, not just delete trash or remove bloatware, in My case i have to do a hard reset And My phone is faster, My phone xioami 6 pro,thanks

[@darthbubba866]

Put it in a two liter plastic bag, seal the opening, pop it in the microwave and cook on "high" until the smoking stops. Plastic bag is to protect the microwave from bad smoke odor.

[@Britec09]

But what if you want to sell it and its still worth money?

[@darthbubba866]

@@Britec09 "It worked the last time I tried it" :-) Obviously, your method is best for the vast majority of situations. I have a drawer full of old mobiles, mostly "grandpa flip phones," waiting for proper e-waste shredder treatment. Maybe some day a museum will want them. Cheers!
