Hard Reset Samsung Galaxy Family

hard reset samsung - Samsung Hard resetUp to this date, every samsung Galaxy phone includes a “secret” hard reset Samsung mechanism inside them.  This Samsung Hard Reset method includes the need for the user to input a secret code in the Android dial pad, as if it were a phone number to be dialed.

Actually this is a rather common way to introduce “secret” commands into your phone. In fact, Samsung has routinely  implemented a plethora of “hidden” codes to perform different -rather technical- tasks, not only on their Galaxy line of phones, but on all of their phones.

Anyway, the specific code  that performs a Samsung Hard Reset is *2767*3855#

The *2767*3855# code will Hard Reset your Samsung phone by performing the following internal steps: First it will reformat your firmware and then it will delete all your personal information and settings from it’s internal memory.

There is a second “secret code” which is a bit less drastic -but rather definite nonetheless- which is *#*#7780#*#*

This second code will limit the extent of the Hard Reset Samsung routine up to the deletion of all your data and apps only, efectively performing a Factory Default wipe out. As we understand it, this hard reset Samsung routine won’t fiddle with your phone’s firmware.

Hard Reset Samsung and other secret codes

  • *2767*3855# – Hard Reset
  • *#*#7780#*#* – Factory Reset
  • *#*#4636#*#* – Phone Information

  • *#*#197328640#*#* – Service Mode
