Factory resetting means erasing everything on your smartphone. Today we are going to reset Nexus 5X smartphone to its factory reset. As we mentioned, it’s going to delete all of your data such as pictures, videos, and personal settings. So please try to backup if you have a lot of important data. There is one more important thing to do before hard resetting, which is fully charging your phone. We recommend you to fully charge your phone because your phone might be turned off while performing hard reset due to lack of battery. If you have one of the following problems below, it could be solved by factory resetting:
- My Nexus 5X is frozen.
