Today we are going to share how to reset OnePlus 3 to factory default. Factory reseting will remove all of your data and personal settings, so please try to make a backup file if you have important files. Since factory reset erases all of your data, we are going to wipe cache first. The reason we are trying to wipe cache first is that wiping cache doesn’t delete any data or settings and it might resolve the issues you have. So we are going to try to wipe cache first and if it doesn’t work then we are going to perform factory reset. Also please check your battery is fully charged before starting because your phone might be turned off while resetting. If you are ready, let’s get started!
You might want to reset to its factory default, if your phone has one of the following issues:
- Doesn’t turn on after software update.
- Screen won’t turn on
- My phone is running too slow or frozen
