At some point, every smartphone user may have a desire to "start life from scratch."
There can be many reasons for this, from the unstable operation of certain programs to the instability of the system as a whole. This is when it becomes difficult for the user to understand what exactly makes his smartphone work the way he wants.
In addition, from personal experience and a large number of forums and articles read, I know that very often the manufacturer himself recommends doing a factory reset after updating the firmware "over the air" (OTA).
I have repeatedly come across posts from users who ignored this advice due to fear of losing some very important data for them. But then, after some time, having done this very "reset to factory settings", they enthusiastically wrote that they "received a completely different phone", because not only the operation of the device itself had changed, but also some new applications appeared, which for some reason did not exist after simply "rolling an update from above" onto a fully configured old system with all its applications and settings.
So, let's figure out how to reset a Huawei smartphone to factory settings. I want to note that these tips are also suitable for Honor devices, at least for Old Honor, as it is customary to call them now. There are three ways: the first is simple and clear, the second is very simple, but not so interesting and with a smaller selection of options, and finally the third is a little more complicated, but more effective, because only he can help you if for some reason your smartphone flat out refuses to boot.
Reset through the settings menu
Let's go "Settings">"System and updates">"Dropping". And here we are in for a surprise. Unexpectedly, we are offered as many as three types of reset. So to speak, from the softest to the hardest. Each type of reset contains a detailed description so that you can understand exactly what exactly you will get as a result of this operation.
So it's always good to have a choice, and I would personally suggest starting with the softest one. Although, of course, it can be better to cut to the maximum, and, so to speak,
Using a dialer
We dial the combination * # * # 2846579 # * # * in the dialer (it is better in the stock one, because some codes do not work in the custom one)
And we immediately get into an interesting menu. Then your choice "Restore Factory". Although other points are no less interesting.
With the help of two keys
This method works only when the smartphone is turned on. Therefore, first turn it off by holding the physical power button, followed by confirmation of the action on the screen.
Press and hold zoom button (or decrease the volume) simultaneously with the power button. Press until the device starts. Then select the command "Wipe data / factory reset" (or "Clear date») in the menu on the screen.

Each of the proposed methods is good in its own way, and each has its own pros and cons. More precisely, his additional capabilities, inherent only to him.
And the last method can help you when nothing else will help.
