Formatting or resetting the mobile can be the solution to any performance, battery or performance problem in general. On Android, this process can be carried out in different ways. The simplest is to make use of the system's own options to delete all the data from the device. We can also resort to what is known as Hard Reset, a method that leaves the factory mobile, that is, as new. In Huawei mobile phones, the way to proceed is somewhat different due to the very nature of EMUI, the customization layer of the Chinese manufacturer. This time we have collected several ways to reset a Huawei in a simple way.
The steps that we will describe below are compatible with most Huawei and Honor phones. Huawei P20 Lite , P30 Lite , P30 Pro New Edition, Mate 10 Lite, Mate 20, Y5, Y6, Y9, P40 Lite, Honor 10 Lite, 20 Lite, View 20, 8X, 9X…
EMUI options, the easiest way to format a Huawei
So is. The simplest and probably the fastest way to reset a Huawei mobile is based on using the native EMUI options, which we can access through the Settings application. Once inside, we will click on System and updates and finally on Reset.
Within this menu we will be shown several options to reset the phone. The one we will have to select is Reset the phone. Before accepting the operation, we will have to make sure to make a backup copy of all the data that we do not want to lose. Finally we will enter the phone password to begin the reset process.
HiSuite, if you want to restore your backups
Another way to reset a Huawei mobile is to use the HiSuite options, the program developed by the company for computers. The advantage of this program is that it allows us to restore the phone based on backups that we have made previously. In this way, the phone will return to the same state it was in at the time of the backup.
Once we have downloaded the program to the computer, it will be enough to synchronize the phone with the program through a USB cable and the HDB permissions to start the process. With the program open, we will click on Restore or Restore to begin the process.
Hard Reset, the best method if you are going to sell the second-hand mobile
And we come to the last option and the most recommended if we are going to sell the phone in the second-hand market. Being a method that is executed from the device's start menu, the data will be permanently deleted.
To access the start menu that we have just mentioned, we will have to turn off the phone completely and turn it on again by applying the following combination of buttons:
- Volume Up + Power
After a few seconds of waiting, the phone will start showing the following menu:
Finally we will click on Delete data to proceed with the safe elimination. Of course, the process can take a few minutes. Once started, the system will most likely ask us to enter the email address with which we registered the phone for the first time. If we are going to sell the device we will have to unlink said terminal from our Google account through the security options.
