  4. Under "Personal", tap "Backup & reset"
  5. Tap "Factory data reset" > "Reset phone" > "Erase everything"
  6. In the warning pop-up, review the information and tap "OK"

Master Resetting Using Hardware Buttons:

NOTE: use this method of factory resetting, in case you are not able to perform a reset through the settings menu. Once again, keep in mind that you will lose all data stored on the internal memory once you apply the factory reset.
