How to Hard Reset the Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 is a powerful and advanced smartphone that sometimes requires a hard reset for various reasons. Whether you're troubleshooting issues or preparing to sell your phone, performing a hard reset can be a useful solution. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of hard resetting your Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra using the recovery mode.

Step 1: Power Off Your Phone.

To initiate the hard reset process, start by turning off your Samsung Galaxy S24. Navigate to the power menu and select the option to power off the phone. Ensure the device is completely powered down before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Connect to a Computer

Grab a data cable, which can be the one that came with the phone or any compatible data cable you have on hand. Connect one end of the cable to your Samsung Galaxy S24 and the other end to a computer. If your computer lacks a Type-C port, you can use an adapter or a Type-C to full-size Type-A data cable.

Step 3: Enter Recovery Mode

With the phone connected to the computer, long-press the side button (also known as the power button) and the volume up button simultaneously. Keep holding them until the Samsung logo appears, then release the power button while still holding the volume up button. This action will put your phone into recovery mode.

Step 4: Navigate Recovery Mode

Inside the recovery mode, use the volume rockers to scroll up and down, and the side button (power button) to select. Scroll to the option "wipe data/factory reset" and select it. A warning will appear indicating that this action will wipe all user data and is irreversible.

Step 5: Confirm Factory Data Reset

Continue by scrolling down to "factory data reset" and press the side key to confirm. The process will commence, and you can monitor the progress at the bottom of the screen. Once it says "wipe data complete," proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Reboot Your Phone.

Select "reboot system now" using the side button, and your Samsung Galaxy S24 will reboot, having successfully undergone a hard reset.

Note: After a hard reset, when setting up the phone as new, you'll need the Google account credentials that were initially on the device. Ensure you have these credentials ready for a smooth setup process.

Conclusion: Performing a hard reset on your Samsung Galaxy S24 can resolve various issues and provide a fresh start for your device. Remember to back up important data before proceeding with a hard reset, and follow the steps carefully to ensure a successful reset.
