Reset via recovery mode for the Nokia 5.4
Warning: Proceed with caution
The steps in this guide involve advanced procedures that may pose risks to your smartphone if not followed carefully. Recovery mode is intended for troubleshooting serious software issues, and making incorrect selections could lead to data loss or unintended changes to your device. Please read each instruction thoroughly and proceed only if you fully understand the process.
Resetting your phone via recovery mode can be a highly effective solution, especially if you cannot access the standard reset option in the settings due to a malfunction, software glitch, or unresponsive system. This method restores your device to factory settings and can resolve persistent issues like freezing, boot loops, or severe performance problems.
Important: A factory reset through recovery mode will erase all personal data, including apps, photos, and files. Be sure to back up any important data beforehand to avoid permanent loss.
