Recovery in Android Chinese. Recovery in Chinese (what to do and how to fix or translate?)

Many situations may lead to the need to reset the Android system, for example: frequent freezes device, the Android system cannot boot or the password to unlock the gadget is lost. "Hard Reset" is a radical solution that allows you to return the device to working condition.

Looking ahead, I note that “Hard Reset” deletes data only from the device’s memory, without affecting the SD memory card, although there is option 2, which allows you to affect it as well.

Attention!!! All contacts, installed applications, messages, etc. will be deleted. It is highly recommended to back up your phone data before starting the reset operation! One backup method is .

Option 1. Recovery Mode

Turn off the device and boot into Recovery Mode by pressing several keys together. Each manufacturer has its own buttons:

"+" on the volume rocker and the "ON/OFF" button;
"-" on the volume rocker and the "ON/OFF" button;
Volume "+" and "-" together and the "ON/OFF" button;
Volume "+" and "-" together, the "Home" key and the "ON/OFF" button;
In Chinese devices, hold down the volume key and connect the charger.

The volume up/down buttons allow you to move up and down through the recovery menu, and the ON/OFF button selects a command. In the latest devices, control in "Recovery Mode" can be normal (touch).

Select "wipe data/ factory reset", and confirm the system reset by selecting "Yes - delete all user data". When the wipe is complete, select the "reboot system now" option.

It will be a little more difficult to see the reset on Chinese phones. For example, in "iconBIT NetTAB Mercury XL" or clone " Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" recovery menu in Chinese. If you have the same situation, the picture below shows the Russian translation of the "Recovery Mode" menu.

To navigate through the menu, use only the volume "-" key, because... The "+" key is used to return to a higher level. To select the highlighted command, press the ON/OFF button.

To run a full reset of Android settings in Chinese phones, you need to select the 6th option. What's funny is that after selection, the command will be executed without confirmation.

After a few minutes of waiting your Android device will load as when you first launch after purchase, possibly with a request to add a Google account.

Option 2: Restore and reset

In Android settings you can see such an item as “Backup and reset”. It is designed to reset system settings and restore from backup copy saved on the Internet.

Click on the "Reset settings" option.

Scroll down and optionally check the box next to "Clear phone memory - card" to delete personal data from the SD memory card, such as photos, music and other user data. Click on the "Reset phone settings" button.

User data will be deleted and factory data will be restored.

Recovery is a software recovery mode built into the operating system of the device (tablet, smartphone, desktop computer). Using the program allows you to reset settings, copy information, and eliminate operational errors.

Recovery in Chinese

Devices made in China are equipped with a system menu in the manufacturer's language. For ease of use, you need to compare the recovery menu items in Chinese with standard items that are identical in content and set of functions.

To call the recovery menu you need to:

Power off the device
Press and hold the power and volume up keys at the same time
Holding the buttons will turn on the device and display the required mode

IMPORTANT. Before using this mode, it is recommended to copy all information to another device to avoid data loss. Incorrect actions in the system menu can cause a complete loss of all information stored in the memory of a Chinese smartphone.

The user can move up and down through the settings using the volume buttons; to select a specific action, use the home button.

The main sections of the recovery system menu in Chinese correspond to the standard translation:

Auto Test – checking basic parameters operating system and testing it for errors
Wipe eMMC – hard reset all parameters and settings of the smartphone without the possibility of recovery
Reboot - reboot
Version info – help
Mounts with Storage – gadget memory management, information about the amount of free space or formatting
Wipe Cache Partition - clearing the cache
Wipe Cache Partition – copying all existing information
Factory Reset - restoring factory settings

To exit the settings, just press the power off button.

IMPORTANT. It is prohibited to terminate the download process before it is complete. This may cause a system failure and damage to the Chinese phone.

To restore the device to factory settings, perform hard reset(hard reset). This item can be accomplished in two ways - in the menu and, for cases when the smartphone does not turn on, using a key combination.

Hard reset on a Chinese phone in the menu is convenient to use only if the items are configured in Russian:

Select "Settings"
Activate "Backup and Reset"
Additionally, click on “Reset settings”

For those cases when the device does not turn on or the Russified menu is not available, a hard reset on a Chinese phone is performed through rakveri or by pressing the “Power” + “Home” + “Volume Down” buttons, then select wipe.

IMPORTANT. Before performing a hard reset, you must fully charge the smartphone battery (the recovery process will be interrupted if the charge is low).

Performing a hard reset will delete all the user’s personal data from the gadget’s memory.

Resetting the settings on a Chinese device Wipe data factory reset allows the user to clear the cache, remove installed applications and errors caused by their operation, while saving media files - music, photos, images.

Call up the recovery menu on Android OS in Xiaomi device you can follow the standard sequence of actions. Turn off the smartphone, then simultaneously hold down the volume up, home and power buttons. The volume up/down buttons are used to move through items, the power key is used to select or activate one of the actions. In this mode, it is possible not only to return to factory settings or restore functionality, but also to update the TWRP, CWM system folders.

On Android, in the recovery system menu you can not only reset, but also test the phone’s operation in the Factory mode item. It is represented by several subparagraphs, deciphering their meaning in Russian:

Full Test – all phone parameters are checked
Item Test – custom scan
Signaling Test – SIM card and signal level test
GPS – diagnostics of the correct operation of the location system

After completing all checks, just click on rebut to exit the system menu.

How to reset settings on Android

In order to reset settings on Android, you need to activate the system recovery mode and select Hard reset in it. To do a hard reset on a Chinese device, you must first copy all important information to another device. Decoding of all recovery points is standard for most models - Lenovo, Samsung, Xiaomi.

Recovery allows the user to roll back the operating system - Android to the factory version, clearing all available memory of the smartphone. Using the Wipe data factory reset item, it is possible to save media files after resetting. System functions make it possible to restore the operation of the smartphone and remove unnecessary applications that cause crashes and errors. On Chinese phones, items are described in the manufacturer's language or in English. To decipher the points, you must follow the instructions, which are the same for most Lenovo (Lenovo) and Xiaomi models; for this reason, translation is not required.

You bought a Chinese smartphone, and then suddenly there was a need to go to Recovery. Well, there’s nothing to do - turn off the smartphone, press Vol (-) + Power, and it will boot into recovery mode. And imagine your surprise when Recovery opens in Chinese. They did not expect? And they told you 10 years ago, learn Chinese! Didn't you listen? But in vain.
Well, oh well, I don’t know Chinese either, maybe just a few words, so let’s think about how to get out of the situation. There is a very simple option, which I will write about below.

The simplest option

Chinese smartphones from the basement, and not only others, often have two Recovery: in Chinese and English. I hope there are no problems with English. To get into the English version you need to hold down Vol(+)+Power, sometimes vice versa (you need to try two combinations). If there is a Home button, then you can use it. Chinese friends are great dreamers, and are able to hide recovery in the most inappropriate place.

Decoding recovery in Chinese

Okay, nothing worked out for you, since you are reading this point, then let’s deal with Chinese. We can do this, because when entering RuleSmart, each visitor is given a free energy elixir, which will be the envy of both Asterix and Obelix, because it gives intellectual strength at the level of the emperor of philosophy.
Before any manipulation with your own hands, you need to make a backup so that you can roll back later, ok?
Usually, people (and non-humans too) need to reset their settings via Recovery, but it is in Chinese. So we’ll figure out how to do this, using Pushkin’s work.

Instructions

Go to Recovery

We select an incomprehensible item in which MMC is written after the hieroglyphs.

You press the Power button and it resets. Now once again, we went into a reboot.

That's it, the settings are reset, you can use a “clean” smartphone.

4 ways to reset graphic key, get rid of glitches and slowdowns on Chinese phones on MTK. 3 ways to Hard Reset using the Lenovo A808 as an example. 1 way: Menu-Settings-Reset. Method 2: Press the volume UP button and the POWER button together, hold them simultaneously until the display lights up, release the power button, and continue to hold the + button, the robot lights up, press the power button (in some cases the up button, in some minus, in some simultaneously + and power button), and get into recovery, select the line Wipe data\Factory reset, confirm with the power button (sometimes with the up button), go down to the YES line, and confirm with the power button (sometimes with the up button), wait for the end, and select the Reboot line with the power button . Method 3: Press the volume DOWN button and the POWER button together, hold them simultaneously until the display lights up, release the power button and continue to hold the button, after a few seconds the test menu will appear in Chinese, we are interested in the line with the only English word eMMC, point the down button at it and select the power button, wait for it to finish, if it returns to the previous menu, remove the battery, insert it and try to turn it on. 4 way- this is firmware, but firmware is individually selected for a specific device, it is difficult to do this on your own. ATTENTION Remember, if you have Android 5.1, 6, 7 and higher, before resetting the settings, you must exit Google accounts, Samsung Account, Mi Account, Flyme, and others, if this is not done, after the reset the corresponding lock will work, which is EXTREMELY HARD to remove, and sometimes even impossible. If the solution from the video did not help you, try one of the following combinations: 1. + and power. 2. - and power 3. Press power for 2-3 seconds and then press minus 4. Press power for 2-3 seconds and then press + 5. 3 keys simultaneously Plus Minus and power. All combinations: as soon as the backlight lights up or the vibration is triggered, release the power and hold the remaining keys until recovery or something similar turns on. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING YOU DO IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY AND IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND CONTACTING SPECIALISTS

Please help me. My world space phone 5g turned into a brick.
Forgot password. I reset it with a hard reset. I deleted the settings via keyboard options. I launched it and was delighted. I started downloading programs again. The settings suggested updating the software. Updated. Restart and a picture with a lying android. There is no team.
Now the recovery menu is called up, but the factor reset is useless. I run it, but the reboot again gives the android and the message No Command. I've already reset it 50 times, but nothing has reset.
I launched the scanning option in the recovery menu, it says about modified files. Apparently from a software update, but they are not removed by a reset. There is no reset to factory settings.
Even now the recovery menu in Chinese cannot be called up. Previously, English was called volume+, and Chinese was called volume-. Now the combination of on and loud does not give any effect at all.
The phone is monolithic, the battery cannot be disconnected, there are no slots for a memory card. There is also no way to connect it to a computer. And I can’t take it to the service. We don't have that here.
Any thoughts on what to do so as not to throw it away???

6. Bakitchanov

The problem is that I bought a new battery because... the old one has gone bad, I put a new battery in the phone, I turn it on, and it turns on endlessly i.e. First the display shows the picture, and then the dark screen and so on.

Hello. Please help me with LG Tribute 5. An Android corpse appeared during the LG software update. The first reboot option (via the menu) is not suitable, since the phone does not turn on. I try the second option, at the end after the restart there is a corpse again. There is no third option, since the MMC does not turn on (up + power). What to do?

Tell me, what is the difference between a hard reset and a flashing? If my phone starts to reboot constantly and I suspect that these are some kind of system errors, will a hard reset help in my case? Those. Is a clean factory Android stored somewhere in the device’s memory?

Smartphones running the Android operating system are prone to various glitches. Most often, users encounter freezes, and in the most difficult cases, devices become inoperable - for example, the operating system begins to load endlessly. How to reboot your Android phone? There are several simple tools for this.

If we can't access the onscreen menus, we turn off the phone. If this procedure does not resolve the problem, the next step is to contact technical service. There comes a time when your smartphone slows down or you just want to transfer it. At this point, you know how to perform a factory reset or factory reset.

In these cases, rebooting your device can resolve many of these issues. However, if you have updated your operating system to a higher new version lately, don't be afraid, she won't come back. If you have something very important on your device, find a backup from different sources.

In our review we will consider the following reboot methods:

No data loss or application deletion;
Complete reboot, deleting data and applications.

The first will help with partial freezes or incorrect operation of the OS, and the second will restore Android functionality in case of fatal failures (if it is impossible to load).

There's no sadder sound in the world than someone blatant with a brand new device, but no photos of their last trip, or without that important work contact. In most cases, you can perform a factory reset from the device's settings menu, which is the easiest method to complete the process.

Having trouble accessing the settings menu?

And voela, your device will reboot like new. There is also a way to do a factory reset and restore your device's system settings even if you can't access the settings menu. And it's not as difficult as it could be, just a few ninja button moves.

Have you found that your Android device is frozen and has stopped responding to your actions? This happens quite often. The reason for this is imperfect software, as well as many versions mobile devices– with some of them the operating system and applications do not work properly. Periodic freezes are quite normal, so there is no need to get upset.

Keep the button pressed and simultaneously press and release the Volume Up button; Again use the Volume Down button to navigate. Use the Power button to confirm your selection; Use the Volume Down button to select the Erase all user data option. Press the Power button to confirm; Wait a few minutes for the process to complete and select Reboot.

And once again, restore your data with the account you copied.

How to reboot Android and get your phone back to working? The easiest way is to send the device to reboot. To do this, you need to hold down the power button and do not release it until the shutdown menu appears on the screen. Here you will find three points:

Switch off;
Offline mode;
Reboot.

Select the last option, confirm the reboot and wait for it to complete. In some cases, it may take up to 10 seconds or more before the above menu appears., depending on the severity of the “freeze”. If you suddenly change your mind about sending your smartphone to reboot, select the cancel option.

You can try the following button combination. As my grandmother used to say, “There is no use crying over spilled milk.” It is important to point out that a hard reset will completely delete all your data, phone numbers, photos, apps, videos, etc. your device will return to its original configuration as if it left the factory.

What is Wipe and when will you need it?

This tip, this one and this one. Use the Volume High and Volume Low buttons to select the factory reset option, then confirm with the Power button. The reboot will begin. Wait and don't touch anything until the end, which may take time.

Sometimes the nature of the “freeze” is such that the device refuses to respond to pressing the power button. In this case, you need to release the button, press it again and hold it longer. If this doesn’t help, remove it back cover, take out battery, wait a few seconds and install the battery back. We turn on the phone and wait for it to turn on completely - now you can use your device.

And when is it important to carry out such a process? It's worth noting that in laptops this process is known as a "hard reset" and that there are several situations in which formatting laptops might be recommended, which we'll talk about shortly. In this article, we will also explain how to perform a hard reset on the three operating systems already mentioned. But first of all, it is worth warning that everyone should stay in touch.

Unlike computers, formatting a hard reset on smartphones and tablets does not require users to have official operating system installation discs. This is because devices rely on the system stored in their domains, which makes our lives a lot easier, by the way.

Is your device behaving incorrectly, constantly freezing or slowing down? Often the problem is solved with the help of memory cleaning applications - during the operation of the Android operating system, a lot of junk accumulates on the phone. By cleaning out the garbage, we can restore the device to its former operating speed. If this does not help, you should resort to a full reboot, deleting all data.

This means that the process not only “wipe all data” but also “restore factory settings” from the device. That is, you can soon reuse your gadget the same way you used it when you purchased it - with performance improvements, bug fixes, etc.

Portable operating systems are constantly receiving data and changing. This means that there are many times when they can go through petty corruption that can cause big problems in the long run. One of the most common consequences is the slowness experienced by users or apps that run erroneously - mainly by those who frequently install many apps on devices.

How to completely reboot Android, whether you have a Samsung, Fly, LG or a smartphone from any other brand in your hands? To do this, go to “Settings – Backup and reset” and select “Reset data”. This operation will return the smartphone to its factory state.. It will also delete the data encryption file on the memory card - if you use encryption, you will not be able to access your data after a reboot.

If you go through this, it may be time to do a hard reset on your phone. In addition to restoring operating system references, you will also eliminate unnecessary traces and data that may be weighed down in the device's memory and processing. In this case, the result will be very noticeable in a device with smoother and smoother operation.

It's also important to do this kind of formatting whenever you change phones. After all, you don't want the new owner of the device to have access to your data, and you also don't want to leave a large number of personal files sliding around in a drawer - which could be found by anyone.

To avoid losing important data, regularly back up your devices and use cloud services that store data on external servers.

Is your smartphone so stuck that it can't start? In this case, you should return it to factory settings via Recovery Mode. To do this, you need to turn off the smartphone, then press the power key and the “Volume down” key - after turning it on, you will be taken to a special service menu. Here you need to select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and wait until the phone is reset to factory settings.

Don't forget: make a backup first

Since we are talking about formatting the device, it is very important to remember that all files will be deleted. Therefore, it is recommended to archive the data on a computer or other drive that can be easily accessed for next time. It is also possible to perform this type of action in specialized cloud services - in some cases this is the best option.

With it, you can quickly save your files, photos, data, contacts and application settings. As we'll explain here, it has many options to allow you to save data quickly and securely. Performing hard reset processes is very easy on any operating system - much easier than random recovery data, so never miss a backup step. See how to format your devices with the three major portable operating systems.

Many other keyboard shortcuts can be used to access Recovery Mode. For example, the power button and the "Home" button, the power button and both volume buttons, sequential pressing of buttons, etc. upon entering Recovery mode Mode for your smartphone should be searched on specialized forums.

If your Android-based smartphone begins to glitch and freeze, do not rush to take it to the service center or perform warranty repairs. Perhaps this problem can be solved with a banal hard reset. In this case, all system settings will be restored to factory settings, and all contacts, installed applications, messages, etc. will also be deleted.

If you are going to do formatting directly through the operating system, all you need to do is follow a few steps on your device. Enter the settings window and then search for “Backup & reset”. After that, click “Restore factory data” and confirm the action. In a few minutes the process will begin and soon you will have your smartphone with everything reset.

When the device is turned off, hold down the Volume Down button along with the Power button for about ten seconds. After a few minutes, the entire hard reset will happen and you will have your smartphone working again. This means that it is generally not possible to back up stored information. Just go to the settings window and then to the General tab. In it, you should navigate until you reach "Reset" and then select "Erase all content and settings."

What is a hard reset and why is it needed?

A complete reset of Android settings to factory defaults is called a hard reset. It is recommended to do this if the smartphone does not work stably (it often freezes, glitches, etc.). It can be done in three different ways, each of which will now be discussed. Before starting a hard reset, do not forget to do backup all data.

Everything will be resolved within a few minutes. After that, simply select the device in the application and order recovery. All you have to do is go to Settings and then select the Turn on phone option. The Reset Phone button will then appear.

By clicking this option and confirming the action, all data will be deleted quickly. As you've seen, portable formatting can be very useful for a variety of occasions, and luckily it's very easy for everyone. Now that you know all the steps in this process, back up and restore your device with better performance and quality. Have you already done something on your smartphone?

You can make a complete copy of all smartphone data using the program.

Android software reset method

It consists of using a standard function that is in the settings of any Android system. To use it, you need to go to “Settings”, then select “Backup and reset” and click “Reset settings”. After this, a warning will be displayed about deleting all existing data, and at the bottom there will be a confirmation button “Reset phone settings”.

Everyone has that smart friend who sets up a blocking pattern that can't be replicated - yes, the ones that resemble the name of some black metal band or a magic doodle. The worst thing is that you are a smart friend, because the possibility of our brain simply forgetting the drawing is high. Nobody likes to have their smartphone stuck forever, right?

So, how to solve this issue. Obviously, before designing a very complex interlocking scheme, always think of something relatively easy to remember. If your phone crashed on the home screen and you can no longer access your apps, follow these steps.

You need to confirm the selected action by clicking the “Erase everything” button.
In some, old Android versions Below version 2.1, finding the factory reset may be slightly different. It could be found in the "Privacy" - "Data Reset" section.

Virtually “turn off” your cell phone. Replace the battery and turn on the smartphone by pressing two buttons at the same time. This will put your device into recovery mode - keep pressing until the power turns on. A menu will appear and you must select an option - use the volume buttons to select one; Press the Power button to confirm.

That is, all your data and contacts that are not synced with some accounts will be lost. However, despair requires radical action. Many have already done this, but they don't know by name. All two are connected to factory reset or factory reset in Portuguese. Specifically, when we talk about thermal hard reset and soft reset, we are talking about returning the device system to its original state. That is, both serve to return your mobile phone or other device to factory settings.

Method without applying settings, using code

To do this, dial *2767*3855# in the number entry menu. This will lead to an immediate, complete restoration of the smartphone’s settings without any additional confirmation from the user.

Resetting Android settings when the smartphone does not respond

Sometimes there are cases when the gadget does not respond to any commands. In this case, you may need the third reset method. When you turn on Android, simultaneously hold down three buttons: “Power”, “Home” and “Volume Down”. This combination should be held until the “ ” mode appears. In it, select the “Wipe” section (which means full reset settings) and confirm your choice by pressing the “Home” button.

But there are differences in security and access to these two options, each of which is recommended for your specific case. Learn the difference between a hard reset and a soft reset. This option is usually accessible via a pair of pressing a secret key sequence. This process aims to completely restore the device's operating system to eliminate any error from the root. This method erases everything installed on the phone, restoring the system to the same factory default settings.

In this case, the operating system is completely reinstalled on your cellular telephone through a few steps, which usually involves pressing a secret key sequence to enter recovery mode on the device, i.e. recovery mode. When persistent errors appear on your phone, tablet or other device. When it doesn't turn on completely or gets stuck on the start screen, usually with the manufacturer's logo.

When the system is infected with viruses.
Slow or slow.
Introducing bugs like apps that close on their own.

This is a way to make your phone, tablet, or other device default to a simpler and faster way, but it's not always as effective as a hard reset.

After a hard reset, you may be tempted to restore your Android from a backup. However, this should be done with great caution - after all, perhaps the problem that caused the problem lay in the previous settings or in one of installed applications. Therefore, it is better not to take risks, but to set up your smartphone as new by entering your Google account information. After this contacts, postal letters etc. will be synchronized with your smartphone. You can install the necessary applications yourself from PlayMarketa.

Fans of alternative firmware for Android should remember that a full reset does not affect areas that store installed additional firmware. This means that any mods and changes to the operating system software will not be deleted from the phone's memory. A similar fact should be taken into account if a complete restoration is performed, for example, in order to return the gadget under warranty.

In addition, a full reset does not affect the contents of the memory card. You will have to delete the information from it yourself. However, remember that any deletion with the “Delete” command is easily reversible, and if there is confidential data, it is better to take additional care of the card.

Many situations may lead to the need to reset the Android system, for example: frequent device freezes, the Android system cannot boot, or the gadget unlock password is lost. "Hard Reset" is a radical solution that allows you to return the device to working condition.

Looking ahead, I note that “Hard Reset” deletes data only from the device’s memory, without affecting the SD memory card, although there is option 2, which allows you to affect it as well.

Attention!!! All contacts, installed applications, messages, etc. will be deleted. It is highly recommended to back up your phone data before starting the reset operation! One of the backup methods is .

Option 1. Recovery Mode

Turn off the device and boot into Recovery Mode by pressing several keys together. Each manufacturer has its own buttons:

"+" on the volume rocker and the "ON/OFF" button;
"-" on the volume rocker and the "ON/OFF" button;
Volume "+" and "-" together and the "ON/OFF" button;
Volume "+" and "-" together, the "Home" key and the "ON/OFF" button;
In Chinese devices, hold down the volume key and connect the charger.

The volume up/down buttons allow you to move up and down through the recovery menu, and the ON/OFF button selects a command. In the latest devices, control in "Recovery Mode" can be normal (touch).

Select "wipe data/factory reset", and confirm the system reset by selecting "Yes - delete all user data". When the wipe is complete, select the "reboot system now" option.

It will be a little more difficult to see the reset on Chinese phones. For example, in the "iconBIT NetTAB Mercury XL" or the clone "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" the recovery menu is in Chinese. If you have the same situation, the picture below shows the Russian translation of the "Recovery Mode" menu.

To navigate through the menu, use only the volume "-" key, because... The "+" key is used to return to a higher level. To select the highlighted command, press the ON/OFF button.

To run a full reset of Android settings in Chinese phones, you need to select the 6th option. What's funny is that after selection, the command will be executed without confirmation.

After a few minutes of waiting, your Android device will boot up as it did when you first started it after purchase, possibly asking you to add a Google account.

Option 2: Restore and reset

In Android settings you can see such an item as “Backup and reset”. It is designed to reset system settings and restore from a backup saved on the Internet.

Click on the "Reset settings" option.

User data will be deleted and factory data will be restored.
