Resetting an Android phone or tablet can be done using its settings. Access to more than one device with your account, select the Android you want to reset at. In this article below we will learn to hard reset our Android phone's using two different methods. Step 4:Connect the device with the PC using a USB cable.

You can try the following commands:
To enter the fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Check whether the mobile phone is also in fastboot mode:
fastboot devices
To delete the data:
fastboot erase userdata

You need:
- Minimal ADB & Fastboot which contains ADB executable then unzip the file
- ADB drivers and install them
- A computer
Open the folder where Minimal ADB & Fastboot, launch it.
Now on your phone, enable USB Debugging then connect to the computer.
On the terminal window, type
You should see something like:
xxxxxxxxx device detected
Type
adb shell
[press enter]Type
recovery --wipe_data
[press enter] | Or, if the above doesn't work:
type
wipe data
[press enter]Your phone should restart and begin the restoration process.
You can also simply boot into the recovery then perform the reset manually.

Playing around with new application launchers on Android is pretty fun, but it isn’t exactly clear how to switch back to the default Google launcher. Read on as we show you.
RELATED:How to Set Default Apps on Android
Switching default applications can be a bit confusing. In fact, switching the default launcher was confusing enough that starting in Android 4.4, Google added a much more obvious way to go about doing it. It largely stayed the same until Android 7.0, when Google changed things just a tiny bit. We’ll outline how to change the launcher in all versions of Android, starting with the latest release first.
Changing the Default Launcher in Android 7.x Nougat
In Nougat, you can find the setting for the default launcher in the same place as every other default app. It makes sense when you think about it, but it might not be the first place you look–especially if you’re used to the old, pre-Nougat method.
The first thing you’ll need to do is jump into the Settings menu. Pull the notifications shade twice, then tap the cog icon.
From there, navigate down to “Apps,” then hit the cog icon in that menu.
A little way down that menu, you’ll see an entry fro “Home app”–tap that, change your launcher, and you’re finished.
Changing the Default Launcher in Android 4.4 – 6.x
RELATED:How to Install Nova Launcher for a More Powerful, Customizable Android Home Screen
Changing the launcher in Android 4.4 – 6.x is actually even easier. Pull the notifications shade twice, then tap the cog icon to go to Settings. Then scroll down and tap the Home option. That’s it. It’s worth noting that this option will only show up if you have multiple launchers installed. If you’re still using the stock option, this entry will not be there.

NOTE: Many Samsung devices won’t have the “Home” option in the root Settings menu. If yours doesn’t have this choice, then it’ll actually be more like the Nougat instructions above–just head into Settings > Applications > Default applications.
Within the Home menu you’ll find a super convenient application launcher selection screen.
From the Home menu you can select a new launcher as well as delete launchers you no longer want. The default launcher will always have the delete option grayed out (or no icon at all, depending on Android version). Older Android devices will have a default launcher named, simply enough, “Launcher,” where more recent devices will have “Google Now Launcher” as the stock default option. And this is, of course, contingent on manufacturer build, as well–for example, the default option is called “TouchWiz.” On LG devices, it’s just called “Home.”
Changing the Default Launcher In Pre-4.4 Android
If you’re running a device with any version of Android prior to 4.4, you’ll need to take a slightly different (and less intuitive) approach to changing your default launcher.
First, you need to navigate to Settings > Apps > All.
Scroll down and look for your current application launcher. In the case of our example device, the default launcher is the Google Now Launcher.
Click on the current default launcher and then scroll down to the “Launch by Default” section.
Tap “Clear defaults” to remove the default launcher flag. Then, press the home button on your device to trigger the launcher function.
Select the launcher you want and then select “Always” if you’re ready to commit to the selection or “Just once” if you want to play around with it.
That’s all there is to it! Whether you’re trying to switch back to the third launcher you tried out or the default you started with, it’s just few clicks in the right menu to sort things out.
