If this doesn't work for you, like it didn't for me, this was the fix for me: it needs to be plugged into a PC with USB (C). A regular socket or car-charger doesn't do the trick. I finally got mine to factory reset after trying 20 videos!
Did you also happen to have a flickering white screen where you can't see or make out the words? I want to completely factory reset my phone before sending it back but it's a hassle since i can't see what im clicking on.😫
Omg this helps me…My aunt had the samsung S20 and i wanted to reset factory on the setting but no joy the saw this video and i tried couple of time and hoorah i did it…thank you
For those trying this in late 2021, the method has changed since the Ver 11 update. The button combo remains the same (Vol up+ power) but you need to have your phone plugged into either the charger or PC to get charging flow going to get to the menu. IT WILL NOT WORK if you dont have it plugged into anything
WRONG INFORMATION. You don't plug it into any power source at all. You need to have it plugged into your headphones while doing the process - this is the only way it'll work.
Thank you for your help I was able to give my father my old phone long after a washing machine mix up and I am happy to give him a fresh a fresh new Samsung SE. The only embarrassing thing he will Notice on this phone is my Stench. lol
What do I do if its showing me [PDP] Back-up : fail setup-wizard [ FINISH ]. I Hold the power button and the Volume up button but I still cant get it to the reset page. I dont know the password so im trying to initialize it this way but I can't. It will just put me back on the lock screen. I even have the Phone connected to my laptop. Please I really need your help on this and I cant find any other way except by hopefully receiving a reply soon.
ive done this plenty of times. ive finally been able to get as far as the language selection screen but it just keeps resetting after that. any solutions?
PLUG IT INTO A PC WITH USB C. Otherwise it will not work ;) Switch off, turn it on again by pressing power and louder keys. Then you enter recovery mode. choose reset to factory settings and go.
Hi, I returned my new phone today. After using it just couple of days, it has the files and app that I transferred from my old one. Before I hand it over to the shop for return, I already did the factory reset, and then the phone restarted. I didn't set up after that, and didn't check if my phone is completely 'empty'. Does it really being reset completely empty or there's a chance the shop can retrieved my files even after it 'factory reset' and the phone restarted? I thought maybe during that 'new set up' of that phone there is somehow an option of file retrieving... Sorry if I seems naive, I don't know much about gadgets.
It changed with Android 11, now you need to plug the USB-C / micro-USB cable along with the combination buttons (Press & Hold the Power and Volume Up button)
It's really annoying my phone screen is broken so I'm trying to hard reset instead of soft reset. But no matter how much I try I can't seem to get it to go into recovery mode
Does the phone have to have a certain battery % to hard reset? Because when i hold the power button and the volume up button it only turns the phone on
Hi, I have searched the internet and came across many videos for this same process, however my phone will not go to the Factory restore settings screen, it just keeps restarting back to the On screen where I am met with the Pin screen. Any ideas?
This Hard FACTORY Reset which I've done before without losing everything fucked me big time I literally made my phone forget that I ever had a phone lost all pictures messages phone numbers from years game data even though I don't play a lot of games I didn't know that it would wipe all my caches to make as though I've never bought a book or ever used Google play lost like 5 years of pictures not sure how to get them all back never did a hard reset just a regular one never knew you could go into that hardware and wipe everything
Ok so I successfully access factory reset etc. asks for Google account email plus password over and over again and reset code sent to recovery email. I enter code and it asks for my password (!?). This is the password that hadn’t been working hence the factory reset (?). My blood pressure can’t take it ! Surely factory reset is a fresh start ?
After the newest update you cannot reboot like in the video, use your headphones that came with ur phone and plug it in and then do the same as in the video, it will reboot like that
@@bz2017 ur a legend thank u i really really thank u! u saved 3 hours of me going to the store and my dad making calls seriusly i hope u get everything you want and need!
I have samsung s20+, cant remember my password. I tried to reset factory set but it doesn't work. My phone is on flight mode, would that be a factor as to why I cant reset factory mode?
I could not fix the issue. "this app not available in your country" Of course I did go to Samsung store hoping they will fix it quick and I can just lay down and they will do everything. But they told me to wait in line for ever and then they told me They will factory reset my phone. I said no, no nobody will factory reset my phone except me. So I did it myself and did add another Google account. Problem solved. Samsung is not iPhone. Samsung users are the owners of the phone as soon as Samsung sells the phone, You can do what ever You want with it factory reset root it or throw into the ocean if it does not satisfy You.
i can't reset my phone. instead of going to the blue choices after seeing the samsung logo, it keeps me going back to samsung and home screen. how do i get to the blue choices? can someone help? i've been trying the whole day to hard reset my s20 but until now i can't, keeps going to home screen. i did exactly what you did .

Great video. Amazing tip
I suspect the method has changed with the update, I tried your way and it didn't adjust
is there any other ways ?? pls help if you got one
@@robinyadav8899 you found something
Yep, didn't work for me either
It changed with Android 11, now you need to plug the USB-C / micro-USB cable along with the combination buttons (Press & Hold the Power and Volume Up button)
Mine goes to some kind of "install custom OS" screen instead when I do this... And having the USB-C plugged in didn't change anything.

After doing the factory reset people can still retrieve pictures. How do we permanently erase pictures without the pictures ever being retrievable?
Yo serg I found some files in my internal storage that seem like I'm being hacked do you know someone who can help me with this issue
Was hoping this would get rid of a green line on my screen which appeared after updating the phone, but sadly it didn't. Oh well.
Tanx bro

The newer Samsung phones are a pain in the ass I'm buying an Iphone next time.

You have to plug in the AKG earphones for this in april 2022
I cannot reach to the menu with pressing the buttons man. So god damn frustrating
Didn't work for me
Do you loose all your pictures and contact numbers when doing the factory reset ??
instead of factory reset mine says reset cache partition and doesn't wipe it clean..
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Pžp
