by Mike Blass · May 4, 2018

If you own the Galaxy S9 Plus and want to learn more about the hard reset procedure, you should better keep on reading. I don’t know what brought you here in the first place, but there are times when such an operation is the wisest thing to do in order to reclaim control over your handset. Yes, I know that Samsung’s TouchWiz is one of the more stable Android-based platforms out there, but software glitches are not out of the question and most of them can be solved in such a manner.

Even more, sometimes you’re put in a position where you need to bring it back to the state you found it, be it not only due to certain bugs that might scare you, but also if you want to sell your device. If you’re factory resetting the Galaxy S9 Plus handset prior to selling it or if this remains your phone, it really doesn’t matter, but you still have to take a backup.

Yes, I strongly advise you to back up all the important files before you decide to reset your Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. You can do it by just going into the settings options and picking the backup and reset option. Even if you don’t do that, the operation here described deletes all your personal files, information, apps, data and other files you saved or got saved in the phone’s internal storage, so don’t say that you have not been warned:
