How can I do factory reset using adb in android? [closed]
How can I do the factory reset in android using ADB command? I had used adb reboot recovery command to get reset. But third party applications couldn't be cleared somehow.Is it correct way to achieve using ADB?
Actually, I want to do factory reset android devices through java code. What can be solution here?
You can send intent MASTER_CLEAR in adb:
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR
or as root
adb shell "su -c 'am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR'"
Try :
adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
And here is the list of arguments :
* The arguments which may be supplied in the recovery.command file:
* --send_intent=anystring - write the text out to recovery.intent
* --update_package=path - verify install an OTA package file
* --wipe_data - erase user data (and cache), then reboot
* --wipe_cache - wipe cache (but not user data), then reboot
* --set_encrypted_filesystem=on|off - enables / diasables encrypted fs
Warning
From @sidharth: "caused my lava iris alfa to go into a bootloop :("
For my Motorola Nexus 6 running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 I did:
adb devices # Check the phone is running
adb reboot bootloader
# Wait a few seconds
fastboot devices # Check the phone is in bootloader
fastboot -w # Wipe user data
I have made it from fastboot mode (Phone - Xiomi Mi5 Android 6.0.1)
Here is steps:
# check if device available
fastboot devices
# remove user data
fastboot erase userdata
# remove cache
fastboot erase cache
# reboot device
fastboot reboot
