How to reset your phone without booting in OS?

Imagine your device has stuck with a boot-loop or any other firmware issue which won't let the phone boot.
The main reasons for this are modifying/removing the system files without knowing or firmware flashing problem. The only possible way to recover the phone is to factory reset it via recovery. Apart from traditional process of resetting through OS, Android helps you to reset your device by a recovery console which comes inbuilt for every device.

Every phone has its own recovery console it may be either stock one or custom one. Also every device has its own way of entering recovery mode.Some of the key combinations are

  • VOL UP + PWR
  • VOL DWN + PWR
  • VOL UP + HOME + PWR
  • VOL DWN + HOME + PWR
  • VOL UP + VOL DWN + HOME + PWR 
  • HOME + PWR

Procedure:

  1. Boot into recovery mode by using any one of the key combinations mentioned above.
  2. Navigate using volume buttons and select Wipe data/factory reset.
  3. Press HOME/PWR button.
  4. Then select Wipe Cache partition and press HOME/PWR button.
  5. Finally Reboot your device.

Even after reset if the device doesn't turn ON then try to re-flash the ROM or take a visit to service center.

Warning: Factory Reset clears all the data from data partition of android. Think a while before resetting.
