How to Format Galaxy S5: Guide hard reset
 
Recently we saw how to format Galaxy S4 Mini and I must tell you that if you have already read the guide, the steps I'm about to show you will be very familiar. In fact, the procedure for making the restoration of most Android devices is very similar, especially when talking of the same manufacturer, in the case of Samsung.
 
We see, however, not to get bogged down in talk but come directly to the point where I'll explain how to format Galaxy S5. I recommend as always before proceeding with this type of operation to make a backup of the internal memory of the device, as the hard reset (format) deletes the default all data stored, at least this way if something goes wrong you However way to reset the device and try again, without the risk of losing anything. To do so could make our handy guide on how to make a backup of Android.
 
Now that we've cleared this part, we see the key combination to press to enter the recovery mode:

 

  • After doing the backup, turn off the device;
  • Hold down the following buttons: Volume Up + Home + Power On / Off;
  • Wait until you see the logo screen Android, then release the keys;
  • To navigate the menu using the buttons to adjust the volume and click instead uses the power button. Select the voice Wipe data / factory reset;
  • Confirm operation then choosing YES - Erase all user data;
  • Your booking choose Reboot from the Home menu to restart the device.
If there are no hassles, we start you will be asked the usual data for initial configuration and your device will be clean as new.
