How do I factory reset a BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, from the handset
I've been experimenting with the software on my handset, and I've got to a state where I need to recover with a factory reset.
This question covers how do do that with ubuntu-device-flash
. How do I do it from the handset itself?
The factory reset procedure is several steps:
- With the handset powered on in any state, hold down VolUp + Power. After holding them for around 10 seconds, the handset starts to reboot, and the screen blanks. At this point, release the Power button.
- A menu will be displayed with three options. Release the Volup key.
Boot menu:
[Recovery Mode]
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal Boot]
- Use the VolUp Key to select Recovery, and use VolDown to boot to that mode.
- When the Ubuntu Logo appears, you are in recovery, and you can press VolUp to reveal the recovery menu. Use the on-screen prompts to select the wipe data/factory reset option.
