What should I do if I don't back up my factory data before reformatting my Android phone?
Answered by wikiHow Contributor
The factory reset will delete all the data from the internal storage (though it will not touch anything on the SD card, if you have one). There's nothing you can do about it once it's done. If you don't want to lose anything, make sure to back it up beforehand.
What do I do if my phone and messaging have stopped?
Answered by wikiHow Contributor
Go Settings, Backup and Reset. Often the Factory Reset command is in Settings, Security.
