Reset Huawei P10 / Plus: This is how the reset works

You can reset the Huawei P10 to factory settings in two ways. The reset is particularly worthwhile for serious problems that can often be solved with it. This practical tip shows you exactly how to do this.

Reset Huawei P10 / P10 Plus to factory settings

If the Huawei P10 is still working and you can open apps, do the following:

1. First open the "Settings" and then the "Advanced Settings".
2. Next, tap on "Backup and Reset" and then on the "Reset to factory settings" button.
3. Now you have to select "Reset" again and confirm that all data will be deleted. So make a backup beforehand so that you can access all the data again later.
4. Now you have to wait several minutes for the smartphone to restart. It has now been reset to the factory settings.

If nothing works at all, the following method also helps with the Huawei P10:

1. Turn off the Huawei P10 and then press and hold the [Power] button and the [Volume Up] button. Do not release both buttons until you see the Huawei logo.
2. Now a primitive menu appears in which you have to navigate to the entry "wipe data / factory reset" using the volume buttons.
3. Confirm this twice with the [Power] button. Then start the reset via the menu item "reboot system now".
