How to make factory settings on the fly. FLY IQ449 Pronto - Hardware HARD-RESET

For all its many advantages in terms of versatility and ease of use, operating system Android can give its user an unpleasant surprise. Critical system failure due to software error leads to the need to reset all settings.

To do this, it is not at all necessary to take your smartphone to service center. In most cases, the user himself is able to carry out the procedure for resuscitating the operating system. In our article we will tell you how to reset settings on a phone running Android 6.0 OS, and in which cases you cannot do without it.

Why reset settings?

As a rule, restoring the operating system to factory settings is necessary in the following cases:

  • The smartphone freezes when the interface stops responding to gestures;
  • The operating system freezes at the loading screen;
  • User forgot graphic key or password to unlock the screen;
  • The smartphone needs to be prepared for sale: delete all applications, files and user data.

It is worth understanding that by resetting the phone to factory settings, the user loses all the contents of the smartphone: contacts, if they are contained in the phone’s memory, media files, logins and passwords for sites and applications, everything installed programs. Therefore, before the rollback operation, you need to do some preparatory work:

  1. Charge your smartphone. When the battery is low, the operating system may block access to the Recovery menu. In addition, rolling back settings takes some time. If the gadget runs out of power during the reset process, restoring access to it will be very problematic;
  2. Make sure that after resetting the system you can log into your Google account. This will be needed during recovery necessary applications, which are stored in the database Google store Play;
  3. Transfer all photos and videos to a memory card or HDD PC;
  4. Do backup contacts, calendar and mail. For this:
    • Go to your smartphone settings;
    • Select the “Restore and reset” section;
    • Click on the “Data backup” item;
    • Select the account to copy and press the power button.

How to reset your phone: 3 ways

In order to perform a complete rollback of settings or Hard Reset, there are three main methods that need to be used in the appropriate situation:

  • Reset via smartphone menu;
  • Using service commands;
  • Through the Recovery menu.

Important!
Resetting your Android phone only affects the internal memory. If, for example, you transfer applications to a memory card, the rollback process will not affect them. However, we recommend removing the SD card, since on Android 6 external card is a part general register using the Adoptable storage function.

Method 1: Through Settings

The method will work if the system does not have critical errors, and the user is going to independently clear his smartphone of all data:

  • In Android settings, go to the “Backup and reset” section;
  • Select “Reset settings”;
  • Click on the button at the bottom of the screen.

After a few seconds, the system will roll back its settings and reboot the smartphone.

Method 2: Service Commands

In order to use the numeric commands on the keyboard, the user, as in the first case, must have access to the system interface, in particular, in the dialing menu.

There are three main combinations of numbers and symbols for resetting Android settings:

  • *2767*3855#
  • *#*#7378423#*#*
  • *#*#7780#*#

Method 3: Recovery Menu

This method will help if the user cannot log into the system via a pattern or PIN code, as well as in case of a critical Android failure. The Recovery menu is accessed via a key combination. Typically, this is a combination of a power button and a volume up or down button.

To access the menu do the following:

  • Turn off your phone;
  • Hold down the key combination;
  • On the list Recovery commands select wipe data/factory reset;
  • Click Yes;
  • Wait for the reset to complete and click Reboot System.

Important!
The Recovery menu is a set of rather specific and complex commands. Do not try to explore all the menu items on your own, as this may lead to serious problems with the operation of the smartphone.

When preparing the material, we needed a reliable and affordable smartphone with original Android OS. Also important characteristic, which we took into account when choosing an experimental model, was the battery capacity. As mentioned above, you should roll back the settings on a fully charged smartphone. To be completely confident in the functionality of the gadget, we tested the settings reset on the Fly Nimbus 12 phone.

Why Fly

We trusted the products of the British company Fly, since the smartphones of this brand are distinguished by their affordability, reliability and performance. Over the past six months, everything Fly models, which we tested when preparing materials, demonstrated excellent performance without lags or brakes.

In preparation for studying how to reset settings, we first tested the system for strength, trying to bring the gadget to a critical state. We loaded several dozen applications into it, opened several programs at the same time when loading heavy photo and video files. 1.3 gigahertz quad-core processor coped with his job “excellently” - everything worked smoothly and without freezes.

The next step was fully charged devices. And here he did not let us down capacious battery at 4000 mAh. With such a capacity, you can safely run your smartphone on maximum modes, and then roll back the settings - the battery charge will last for at least 15 hours.

If you have chosen a Fly smartphone for yourself, we recommend it for everyone technical issues contact technical support on the official website. For example, here you will find detailed instructions on transferring contacts from your phone or solving the problem of synchronization with Google.


Hello readers. With this post I open new section, in which I will perform only one action - reset the settings on the devices to factory settings or in another way - do HARD RESET. Our first test subject will be FLY IQ449 Pronto, whose password has been forgotten.

Since it is known that he has latest version software(firmware), then we decided not to bother with changing the software, but to do a regular reset to factory settings. But first I’ll tell you what it is hard reset this is a hard reset hard reboot, at present this formulation applies mainly to mobile devices- tablets, smartphones, some phones, cameras, players and other devices that have firmware (software component), because even in modern washing machine there are a huge variety various settings and programs that can later be reset to factory settings.

But we will mainly apply this term to mobile devices. So, a hard reset is a specialized reboot of the device, during which the system’s factory parameters are set, as well as the memory is permanently cleared - everything is deleted custom settings, programs installed by it, contacts, SMS, etc. Data on memory cards and SIM cards is not deleted. Although in some systems this reset allows you to delete information from them too.

There are two types of resetting FLY IQ449 Pronto:

1. Software HARD-RESET - carried out from the device settings menu by selecting the appropriate item (Reset settings, Restore and reset, etc.), sometimes it is protected standard password 1234, 12345 or 00000000 - depends on the model and brand of the phone. After selecting this menu or entering the password, the machine will reboot from standard settings. There are also specialized software from other manufacturers that allow you to soft reset settings, for example one of the most common programs SKTools.

2. Hardware HARD-RESET - this method is performed by pressing certain keys on the device; the buttons and pressing sequence are determined by the manufacturer and are individual for each model. Used when it is not possible to enter the menu or turn on the device.
This reset in 90% of cases helps in solving problems such as freezing, software errors (emergency termination of programs), third-party conflicts software products, in some cases, when the device does not turn on, system passwords (but not all when the SIM is locked, this reset will not work in some models), network problems (in very rare cases), but the most important function is still fast and complete cleaning apparatus. By the way, service centers charge from 300 to 1000 rubles for this procedure - the same as for changing software. Don’t rush to run to a server if your phone has these symptoms - try doing a hard reset yourself. Spend three minutes and save money.

ATTENTION!!! Before starting software updates, rooting, resetting settings and other manipulations with your own or, God forbid, someone else’s device HIGHLY RECOMMEND read this one. In short, you have been warned and don’t say later that this is the first time you’ve heard this...

Step 1: We charge the battery. In my case, I simply connected the network Charger to the smartphone and waited until it charged. If your battery is discharged to “zero”, then you will not be able to do without a “frog” or you will need to find another battery. You can also reset the settings at 5% (tested personally) of the charge, but it’s better not to risk it and charge the battery. How more information on your phone, the longer the reset process will take.

Step 2: Turn off the device (if turned on) by pressing the on/off/lock screen button (3). Or if the device freezes and does not respond to anything, remove the battery and insert it back after ten seconds.

Step 3: First press the volume down button (2), and then the on/off/screen lock button (3). Hold until the FLY screensaver appears and release them.

Step 4: An Android robot with a “ripped open belly” appeared - press the volume up button (1). Android appeared System Recovery- in common parlance, factory recovery. Navigation through items is carried out using the volume buttons (1 and 2), and selection using the on/off/lock button (3).
