If you do not see this option

• No Reset row under System & updates? HONOR's troubleshooting pages say to search Settings for Factory data reset and follow the steps. Source: Phone indicated to not have sufficient storage space · Source: The notification panel does not open when I swipe down from the status bar
• Only Wi-Fi or Bluetooth broken? HONOR says Reset network settings resets Wi-Fi, mobile data and Bluetooth without deleting data. Source: Restore Your Phone to Default Settings or Factory Settings

  

• Want settings back to normal but keep files? HONOR says Reset all settings resets network settings, the lock screen password, the home screen layout and fingerprints or face data, but deletes no files. Source: Restore Your Phone to Default Settings or Factory Settings

If this does not work

• Phone won't start, so you can't reach Settings? HONOR says to turn it off, hold Power and Volume Up until the HONOR logo, and choose Wipe data/factory reset. We did not try this on ours. Source: Fixing Boot Problems on HONOR Devices
• Stuck on the logo after a reset? HONOR says to hold Power for 10 to 15 seconds, or use Wipe cache partition in recovery. Source: Fixing Boot Problems on HONOR Devices
• Asked for a Google account after the reset? Google says to know your Google Account and password before resetting, and to wait 24 hours after changing the password. Source: Reset your Android device to factory settings

About this guide

Reset has three choices on MagicOS; only Reset phone wipes the phone.

The screenshots are from our HONOR Magic7 Lite, the European model BRP-NX1M, with MagicOS 10.0 and Android 16 (build 10.0.0.169(C430E7R2P1)), in Dark mode. We opened the page and pressed Back.
