How to FORMAT a Nokia 6.1, reset to factory mode (HARD RESET)

How to FORMAT a Nokia 6.1

Do you have a Nokia 6.1 and it no longer works as it did at first? Are you going to sell it or give it away and want to clean your data? The solution is to format or reset to factory mode.

There are two ways to do it, which we are going to teach you so that you can have your mobile as when you took it out of the box, in a few minutes.

One way is to format the Nokia 6.1 through the Settings menu. The other way is through buttons and the Recovery menu.

Format Nokia 6.1 to factory mode

Via SETTINGS menu

In the event that your smartphone works well enough to at least get to the Settings menu, this will probably be the easiest way to do it.

It is important that you bear in mind that you will lose all the information, so we recommend that you make a backup copy first. Once you are ready, enter Settings>Personal>Backup>Factory data reset.

Once you have pressed this button, it will ask you for confirmation warning that you are going to lose all your data. You may also be asked for your unlock pattern.

When you have done it, it will start to format the Nokia 6.1. After a few minutes, it will restart and you will see that it is exactly the same as when you took it out of the box. You will need to do setup first, connect to Wi-Fi network, add Google account, etc.

Format via Recovery menu

In case you are unable to get to the Settings menu, there is a way to format your Nokia 6.1. Simply, you will have to do it through buttons.

To get started, make sure your Nokia 6.1 is turned off. Then press the power and volume up buttons at the same time. You will have to keep them pressed until you see the nokia logo appears on the screen. At that moment, she releases both buttons at once.

In the menu that appears, scroll down to Recovery Mode. To do this you will have to move using the volume keys and use the power button to confirm.

Once inside the Recovery menu, go to wipe cache/data partition. In this way, you will make sure to delete all the data that can give you problems.

When you return to the previous screen, this time choose the wipe data/factory reset option. On the screen that appears next, you will have to choose the Yes option. From there, your Nokia 6.1 will take a few minutes to reset to factory mode, to be the same as when you took it out of the box.

Once the process is finished, you will return to the first screen. At that time you will have to select Reboot System Now. When you've done that, your phone will begin to format. Once you turn it back on, you'll be able to see how it's back to how it was when you bought it.
