Today we are going to share how to reset Nexus 6P to its factory default. But before starting to reset, we are going to wipe cache partition first. The reason to perform wipe cache partition first is that it won’t delete any of your data or settings. It doesn’t affect your system at all. If wiping cache partition didn’t work for you, we recommend you to run factory reset. Just few important things before hard resetting. First thing is to fully charge battery. Your phone might be turned off while operating hard reset. Second thing is to create a backup file. Factory resetting will erase all of your files. Just keep these two things in mind before starting hard reset. If you are ready? Let’s do this.
