In this article, I will explain how to factory reset Meizu phones. This article will work for most Meizu phones, including for the likes of Meizu M2 Note, Meizu M2 Mini, Meizu M3 Note, Meizu M5, Meizu U10, Meizu U20 and so on. All this is achieved due to the fact that all these phones are controlled by Android with the Flyme OS shell.
Resetting to factory settings Meizu smartphone through the setup menu.
Go to settings - about phone - memory and click factory reset.
In the window that appears, you can choose what data you would like to erase. For example, you would like to completely clear internal memory, not only from installed applications but also from photos and videos. Also, you would like to delete contacts, messages and account settings. To do this, select the appropriate checkboxes.
If you just want to reset the settings and delete messages and contacts, select the first item. Selecting the second item deletes ALL data, including contacts and SMS messages. Therefore, before resetting the settings, I recommend doing backup your data.
We carry out hard-reset of the Meizu smartphone.
Attention! To perform this action, your phone must be completely off. Follow the steps
Press the volume up key and the power button at the same time.
As soon as you see the Meizu logo, release the buttons. In a few seconds you will see a menu in which there will be two items - System upgrade and Clear data. We are interested in the Clear data item.
Select Clear Data and click Start
The Meizu smartphone will be restarted, then the data will be restored. As a result, you will also get a device in which all settings have been reset to factory settings.
Some users of Meizu phones may need to reset their phone to factory settings. The latter can be caused by many reasons, from the desire to sell a "clean" phone without any user data on it, to the presence of various dysfunctions on the phone that the user is trying to get rid of. After I bought a Meizu phone, I managed to reset Meizu to factory settings and in the article I will share my notes.
Under what circumstances is it necessary to roll back smartphone settings?
Hard reset"Meizu" may be needed by the user under the following circumstances:
Ways to reset Meizu phone to factory settings
Consider the various options for resetting Meizu to factory settings. Please also take into account that the specifics of such a reset may differ depending on a particular model of Meizu M3, M5 phones (the specifics of performing a hard reset for each Meizu model can be found on the website hardreset.info).
Method 1: use the settings menu of your phone
To reset Meise to factory settings, do the following:
- Go to your phone settings;
- Find the "About phone" option on the left, and tap on it;
- Select "Memory";
- Click on "Reset settings" ("Wipe data");
- We put a tick on the option "Reset to factory settings" (if you want to delete all user data as well, select also the option "Clear memory");
- Click on "Start cleaning" and wait for the process to finish.
Everything custom files after this reset are usually removed, and you will get a "clean" phone as it was when you bought it.
A similar way to work with phone settings is to go to Settings - About phone - Storage - Factory data reset. In the menu that opens, select the first item "Factory data reset", and then click on "Start reset".
Method 2. Use phone recovery mode
The second option for going to the factory settings is to use the recovery mode built into the phone's functionality.
Perform the following on the Meise device:
- Turn off your smartphone and wait a few seconds;
- Hold down the Volume Up and Power buttons on your phone and wait for the “Meizu” message to appear on the screen, then release the buttons;
- The phone will boot up, after which you will see two options for actions ("System upgrade" and "Clear data");
- Leave a tick only on "Clear data" and then click on "Start" at the bottom;
- Wait until the end of the cleaning procedure.
If the phone asks for a password during a factory reset
If your gadget, when trying to return to factory settings, asks you for a password, and you do not remember it, then I recommend entering the wrong password 15 times in a row (usually five attempts, three times each). After that, your Meizu will require a password from your account at Flyme. Enter the specified password and your phone will be reset to factory settings.
If necessary, enter your password to "Flyme" If you do not have a password for the Flyme account (and there is no way to learn it from the previous owner), then you should think about installing it on your device new firmware(I recommend looking for information on the relevant technical forums).
Conclusion
If the classic methods of setting the default settings described in this material turned out to be ineffective, I recommend going to the site hardreset.info, and looking for the reset algorithm individually for your Meizu model.
We love Meizu mx4 smartphones and others mobile gadgets from this manufacturer, in particular, for the Flyme operating system and its ability to install the maximum a large number personal settings. It is always a pleasure to make the gadget work exactly according to our wishes. But getting carried away with this business, it is quite possible to make some kind of mistake, and then the device may malfunction.
How to solve this problem? The way out of the situation is to return to the factory settings. It is also called Hard Reset. If you think that restoring your phone in this way is a complicated procedure, then you are wrong. Resetting to factory settings is quite realistic for every user of the gadget, even at home.
Today we are going to tell you how to reset the settings on Meizu M3s, Meizu M5 Note, Meizu M3 Note, Meizu M3s mini and others. mobile devices from Meise.
Method number 1. Via the settings menu
The easiest way to do a factory reset is through the menu on your phone. To do this, you need:
- Go to the menu.
- Scroll through the list of items to the "Personal" option.
- Find "Storage and backup" and click on this option.
- Select "Factory Reset".
- Check the box next to "Reset phone to factory default".
- Begin a hard reset of all user-installed settings.
The procedure takes only a couple of minutes, and as a result, all data on the Note or another Meizu's phone will be completely reset.
But remember that you can restore the system in this way only if you remember the password from the phone. Otherwise, you simply won't get into the menu. But what if you forgot this information? Then the second way will come to the rescue.
Method number 2. Through recovery
You can also hard reset Meizu m3s through recovery. This method is a little more complicated, but it is irreplaceable if you have forgotten your phone password. This is done like this:
- We hold down the lock key to completely turn off the phone.
- As soon as the screen goes out, we simultaneously press the volume up button and the lock button.
- We see the recovery menu, in which we are interested in the "Clear data" item.
- Click on "Start" and thereby reset all data.
When performing these actions, be extremely careful and careful, because after all the settings have been reset, it will not be possible to return them. So it is recommended to periodically save the data stored on the phone to some other medium so that it does not disappear in case of a sudden cleaning of the settings. Also, modern phones have a convenient option for saving files to the cloud on the Internet, which we strongly recommend using.
Now that you have learned how to reset the settings on Meise, you can customize the phone at your own discretion without the slightest fear, without fear of causing irreparable harm to it. If, before starting the reset, the device requires you to enter a password, and you have forgotten it, you can enter any combination 15 times, after which you will be transferred to your Flyme account. It remains to enter your password from it, log in to the system, reset the gadget password and continue Hard Reset.
