How to do a factory reset on Lenovo A536?
In order to return the phone to its original settings, you need to do a Hard Reset. Lenovo A536 provides such an option. However, when using the function, do not forget that all smartphones with the Android 6.0 operating system and higher have an additional function that protects against resetting phone settings - “Factory reset protection”. Its main goal is to protect the personal data of the smartphone owner from intruders. Owners are not always able to bypass this “protection” and independently perform a Hard Reset on the Lenovo A536. Sometimes you need to contact a service center to reset the settings.

Factory reset Lenovo A536
When thinking about how to reset a forgotten password on Lenovo A536, you should turn your attention to the option of returning to factory settings. This is an effective way to regain access to your phone. Another reset to factory settings will be needed in the following cases:
- If the device has become very glitchy;
- If it gets stuck on the logo when you turn it on and doesn’t load;
- If you cannot reset the Lenovo A536 pattern key in another way.
Before performing a factory reset on the Lenovo A536, you must save all the important information on the device (contacts, photos, videos, etc.), because as a result of your actions the smartphone will be formatted. It is also recommended to log out of your Google account. You can do this as follows:
- Enter settings;
- Select accounts;
- Other options include Google;
- In the upper right corner, select the button with three dots;
- A drop-down menu will open in which you need to select “Delete account.”
This is done so that after formatting the user does not need to enter a password and login to log into their Google account. This will still happen automatically.
Resetting can be done in two ways. Let's look at each one separately.
HARD RESET
Step No. 1 for those who want to do a hard reset on Lenovo A536 is always to turn off the phone. If the device freezes, you can simply remove the battery. In the latter case, to resume operation, you need to insert the battery and cover it with a lid.
The next step is to simultaneously press the “Power on device” key, the volume rocker, and the active “Home” button. After this, an exclamation mark should appear on the screen. Next, release all buttons and press the “Power” key again. A menu should appear on the screen. The user will be able to navigate through it using the volume control button. Among the proposed options, you need to find a menu item called “Wipe/Factory Reset”. To select it, you need to confirm the action with the volume up button.
Another window will open where, among many “No” answers, the user must find and then activate the “Yes - Delete All Data” item. There is no need to reboot Lenovo A536: if everything was done correctly, this will happen automatically.
When the smartphone turns on again, you need to click “Reboot System Now” (one of the menu items).
That's all, actually. An interface will appear on the phone with the parameters that the manufacturer himself chose by default and made them standard for this model.
The described steps involve formatting the Lenovo A536, so it is important to make backup copies of your data in advance.
If you have a phone with Chinese firmware, then you can reset it in a few simple steps:
- Turn off the phone using any option (via a program, a button, or removing the device’s battery).
- In off mode, you need to simultaneously press two buttons - “Turn on the device” and “Increase sound”.
- Immediately after you see the traditional Lenovo brand icon on the phone screen, you need to remove your finger from the “Power” key, but you still need to hold the second key.
- If Chinese characters are displayed, it means you have Chinese firmware and everything is done correctly, you can release the sound key.
- In the Chinese menu, it is important to find the item labeled “eMMC” and activate it. You can navigate through the menu using the volume down button. To confirm your choice, you must use the “Power on” button.
Step-by-step firmware instructions
First, let's see how to flash a 536 A smartphone using the FlashTool program:
Download the program SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01.zip
- We take out the battery from the phone and connect it, switched off, via USB to the computer.
- In the task manager, you will see the phone as an unidentified device. Click on it to update the drivers.
- We activate the firmware mode. After that you will see Mediatek Preloader.
- Disconnect the phone from the computer and launch the exe application.
- Click on the scatter-loading button and select the appropriate file in the scatter format.
- Place a checkmark next to the item DA DL ALL WITH Cheksum that appears. This is necessary so that after the system update you can turn on the phone.
- Click on the DOWNLOAD button to start downloading files.
- If you did everything correctly, then after the successful completion of the procedure you will see a green check mark on the screen.
- Now you can turn on the phone and carry out its initial setup.
Through settings
Those users who want to do a hard reset of the Lenovo A536, but do not dare to launch the engineering menu for this, will not have to spend a lot of time. All you have to do is find the “Settings” item in the menu when your phone is turned on. Having entered it, you then need to select “System Settings”.
After that, to reset the Lenovo A536 to factory settings, look for the “All parameters” item, then - the “Restore and reset” section. The item for which all these efforts were made is called “Factory settings” or “Return to standard settings”. In some firmware versions the wording may be different, but the essence remains the same. Sometimes you also need to confirm an action like “Are you sure you want to reset your settings?”: “Yes” or “No”. Accordingly, you need to select “Yes” (or “Yes”).
After the reboot, you will receive a device whose contents will resemble the newly purchased device.
Using the described method, you can unlock your Lenovo A536 phone if you have forgotten your pattern key or login password.

How to do a hard reset on a Lenovo A536 phone from the settings menu?
Attention! Due to FRP (Factory Reset Protection, that is, reset protection), Android will ask you to enter the login and password of the account that was assigned before the Hard Reset procedure. Therefore, if you plan to sell your smartphone, you need to log out of your Google account (Settings - Accounts - Google - Delete account) before resetting, so that the person who receives your phone can activate their profile on it.
Given the wide range of Android phones and the difficulty of describing the reset process for a specific model, we will show the guide using the example of three fundamentally different devices and firmware:
- Mi A1 on pure Android, which is also used in Nokia, Motorola, OnePlus (has a slightly redesigned system) and in all devices released under the Android One program;
- Galaxy S7, which runs Samsung Experience. Let us remind you that the Korean corporation is the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, so it makes sense to show this shell;
- Redmi Note 5 on MIUI. The products of this company are in great demand in the CIS, so we could not ignore it.
The easiest way to perform a Hard Reset is through a special menu in the system parameters. Once again, we note that the location and name of the items may differ slightly depending on the phone used. The main thing is to find the main category for recovery and reset.
Xiaomi Mi A1 (pure Android 8.1 Oreo)
- Click on the “Settings” icon in the application menu or launch them using the icon in the notification shade.
- Scroll down and go to the System section.
- Click Reset.
- Select "Erase all data" ("Reset to factory settings").
- Confirm your intention by pressing the key below.
- Enter your device PIN and click Continue.
- Select Erase Everything.
The device will reboot and you will have to go through the initial setup again as if it were a new phone.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Samsung Experience shell)
- Go to settings in a way convenient for you.
- At the bottom, click on the “General Settings” tab.
- Select Reset (Backup & Reset).
- Tap on “Reset Data”.
- Click on the blue reset button.
- Enter your device PIN and click Next.
- Click “Delete everything” (“Reset device”).
Your phone will restart. All that remains is to configure it as after purchase.
Redmi Note 5 (MIUI firmware)
- Open Settings.
- Go to the "Advanced Options" window.
- Click "Backup and reset".
- Select Reset Settings.
- To remove absolutely all applications and files, o.
- All that remains is to click on “Reset settings” and enter the password if required.
Attention! As you can see, the main thing is to find the “Reset” section. To ensure that you don’t get lost in all the parameters in search of the desired menu, it’s easier to enter the query “Reset” on the main page in the search box. Select the menu you are looking for from the list provided and you will be taken straight to it. And then everything is as in the instructions.

How to Hard Reset Lenovo A536 via Recovery?
This is a relevant method if there is a malfunction on the phone that prevents it from loading. It is for such cases that a recovery mode is needed, through which you will need to perform a Hard Reset.
- If your phone is on, turn it off.
- Hold the Power and Volume Down buttons (if nothing happens, read our separate article on how to enter Recovery).
- Instead of a normal boot, you will see a menu where navigation is performed using the volume keys (cursor movement) and power keys (select).
- Scroll down to the “Wipe data/factory reset” category and click on it with the Power key.
- Highlight "Yes" to confirm the reset.
Once the reset is complete, the device will reboot and display a standard welcome and settings window. Again, menu names may vary slightly depending on the model.
