Undoubtedly one of the most important things we should know on our mobile, is how to perform a hard reset or how to erase the phone to restore it from the factory, since we never know at what time we may need to do it. This can be very useful in case we need to erase our device for example because we want to sell it or give it away, in cases where the memory has been filled and we want to clean it completely. In addition, this can be very useful in situations where we are experiencing different failures in the terminal.
