❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between factory reset and flashing firmware?

A: Great question! Here's a simple explanation:

• Factory Reset: Only clears the DATA partition of your device. The system partition remains untouched. This restores your device to its original factory state.
• Flashing Firmware: Clears BOTH data and system partitions, and upgrades the system. This is a more thorough process.

Important Note: If your UBOX has issues that existed from the factory, a factory reset won't fix them. You would need to flash the firmware to resolve system-level problems.

Q2: Will factory reset delete all my apps?

A: Yes, all downloaded apps will be removed. You'll need to reinstall them after the reset.

Q3: How long does the factory reset take?

A: The entire process typically takes 5-10 minutes, with the reboot taking slightly longer than a normal startup.

Q4: Can I recover my data after factory reset?

A: No, factory reset permanently erases all data. Make sure to backup anything important before proceeding.

Q5: My UBOX won't reset using the settings menu. What should I do?

A: Try Method 2 (Power Button Method) for older models. If that doesn't work, contact UnblockTech support.

Q6: Do I need to factory reset regularly?

A: No, only reset when experiencing issues or when you want a fresh start. Regular resets are not necessary.

Q7: Will my Google account be removed?

A: Yes, all accounts will be removed. You'll need to sign in again after the reset.

Q8: What should I do after factory reset?

A: Follow the on-screen setup instructions to:

1. Select your language
2. Connect to WiFi
3. Sign in to your Google account
4. Reinstall your apps
5. Reconfigure your settings
