Formatting your ROG Phone 6 can be a way to free up full storage, solve some operating system problems such as slowness or bugs, as well as ensure that some personal information is erased when you want to sell or donate your smartphone.
The ROG Phone 6 used in this tutorial runs Android 12, and the whole process is done in a simplified way, directly on the phone’s system. It may be that other ASUS models with the same OS version have similar steps, including the Pro, 6D and 6D Ultimate versions of the ROG Phone 6.
This step-by-step, by the way, is different from the well-known “hard reset”, where the phone enters recovery mode, indicated for when it is not possible to access the device’s settings.
How to format ROG Phone 6?
- Make sure the ROG Phone 6 has more than 50% battery, or leave it on charge. The device may become unusable if formatting is interrupted;
- Access the “Settings” of your smartphone;
- Click on the “System” option;
- Go to “Reset options”;
- On the new screen, select “Clear all data”: be aware that doing this procedure will clear all data that is on your cell phone, such as photos, videos, applications, email accounts and other data, putting it back to its factory settings;
- Make sure that all important data has been saved, with the phone showing the apps and accounts to be deleted from the smartphone;
- After that, tap “Clear All Data”;
- A new screen will appear, asking if you are sure. Click again on “Clear all data”;
- The process will begin and should take a few seconds to complete. This will format the phone, and it will be ready to be set up again from scratch.
