When using a phone based on the Android operating system, sooner or later there comes a time when the owner, for one reason or another, may need to reset the settings of his device to factory settings. Smartphones produced by Lenovo that run on this operating system, unfortunately (or fortunately), in this regard, are practically no different from their competitors. They are subject to the same ailments and problems as other smartphones, but there is a positive side to this: on Lenovo, all these problems are fixed just as easily.

How to do a Hard Reset

If your phone does not turn on or start, then the reason may be a software failure of the Android OS, and not a hardware malfunction of the device. It is for this purpose that the developers have implemented a hardware reset, which can be launched by pressing buttons on the Lenovo A316i. To reset the settings without logging in, you must turn off the device. Here are some reset methods you can try:

1) To enter a reset, press and hold the volume up button (or volume down key) and the power button. Or we do the same thing, but after pressing the power button we continue to hold the volume key. 2) The second option is similar to the first, you need to press and hold volume down and up, and then just press the device’s power key. 3) The third option for launching the recovery menu is to press three keys at the same time: the home screen button, volume up, and the power key. 4) Last option. Press the power button and hold for 1-2 seconds, then hold down the volume up and down buttons and the power key, and hold until the recovery menu appears.

After this, the device will either simply reboot and reset automatically, or the recovery menu will appear. As soon as you get to the recovery menu, you need to select the Wipe data/Factory reset item using the volume down and up keys, click on it and agree to delete the settings on the phone. We hope you were able to go to the recovery menu and reset your Android settings. If you have a question, or are unable to perform a factory reset on the Lenovo A316i yourself, please leave a comment.

Tips for firmware

If, after installing the firmware drivers in the Manager, you see the incorrect display of the model name of your mobile device, then do not worry. This is acceptable and quite normal.

If it happens that you did not have time to click on the device in the “Task Manager”, then it will be enough to disconnect it and connect it again.

Do not forget that before starting the software update, the battery charge must be at least one third of the total capacity. It would be ideal to have a fully charged battery.

In case you do not see the start of the phone firmware procedure after connecting it to the computer, we recommend making sure that there is a charging indication on the screen. If it is not there, then remove the cable from the phone, and after 30 seconds insert it back.

How to do a hard reset on a Lenovo A328 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:

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)

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)

Your phone will restart. All that remains is to configure it as after purchase.

Redmi Note 5 (MIUI firmware)

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.

Factory reset Lenovo A328

Lenovo A328 runs on the Android operating system version 4.4. Since 2008, a very interesting system of graphic device locking keys began to appear in Android smartphones. Over time, such passwords became more and more popular, as they protected the smartphone well from strangers. However, what to do in cases where the owner himself completely forgot his graphic key? In such situations, a direct reset of the smartphone to factory settings will come in handy; by the way, absolutely the same applies to the more familiar numeric PIN codes.

Also, during prolonged use, the smartphone may begin to behave inappropriately. Minor hang-ups may appear, the phone may become “thoughtful”, the speed of operation and response to commands may drop significantly. This behavior is most often associated with the device’s memory becoming full with various “junk”, unnecessary programs or elements. In order not to search for and delete each of them manually, you can perform a hard reboot. Also, recently, a lot of malicious advertising viruses have appeared on the Internet, which load various banners onto the phone and really spoil the mood of the smartphone owner. It is very difficult to fight such viruses; antivirus programs quite often do not see them, but they themselves disguise themselves so well and sit so deep in the phone that it is practically impossible to get them out manually. In such cases, you may also need to completely reset your smartphone to factory settings.

However, before you take action, you need to keep in mind that a hard reset of the Lenovo A328 will completely clear the smartphone’s memory and return it to the state of a recently purchased one. If you have important data or files on your phone, be sure to take care of transferring them to another device or computer. So, you are convinced that you need to reset and clean your phone, and you have also saved all your personal data in a safe place. Now let's look at some reset options.
