Part 2 - How to Wipe Android Device by Factory
Reset
This is the most commonly used method of wiping a
smartphone clean. However, the technique only
deletes the data addresses thus hiding the
location. Unlike the Coolmuster Android Eraser,
using the factory reset does not overwrite the
data and files in the tablet or the smart device.
It means that the files can be recovered using
off-the-shelf recovery software, such as
Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android. However, you
can still clean the tool properly by following
the following steps -gt Encrypting the data-this
is like locking your phone content, and you will
have to enter a PIN or a password every time you
are turning the device on. For data to be
recovered the unique combination will be required
to decrypt the gadget and any other individual
will not have it. -gt Charge your appliance fully
while the procedure is running. Alternatively,
you can keep it plugged into the charger to make
sure that it does not turn off.
11
-gt Tap on the Settings icon. -gt Scroll down to
"Security" and select the "Encrypt phone" option.
Nevertheless, this step varies from one gadget to
the other. Other models such as Samsung provide
the option of encrypting even the SD card.
12
-gt Factory reset by going to the "Settings", then
select "Backup reset" and then "Factory data
reset". -gt Confirm your choice by tapping on the
"Reset phone" option. Completing this process
deletes all the data and protects it from
decrypting. However, if you want to be entirely
sure that all the data cannot be accessed by a
third party later, you should consider
overwriting the encrypted data with junk data,
and then factory reset it again.
