Additional Information

Safe Mode Check: Before performing a factory reset, try booting your Vivo X5 Max Plus into Safe Mode to see if the issues you’re experiencing persist. Safe Mode temporarily disables third-party apps and can help diagnose if a specific app is causing problems.

• To enter Safe Mode: Press and hold the Power button, then tap and hold ‘Power off’ until the ‘Reboot to safe mode’ prompt appears. Tap ‘OK’ to confirm.

Clear Cache Partition: If you’re facing minor issues like slow performance or app crashes, clearing the cache partition might help before resorting to a factory reset.

• To clear cache partition: Enter Recovery Mode (Power off your phone, then hold Volume Up + Power button), navigate using Volume buttons, and select ‘Wipe cache partition’. Confirm and reboot.

Google Account Removal: Before resetting, if your phone is linked to a Google account (for example, for Google Play or Gmail), it’s recommended to remove the account to avoid any FRP (Factory Reset Protection) issues after the reset.

• To remove a Google account: Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Remove account.

Check for Updates: Ensure your Vivo X5 Max Plus is running the latest available software version before and after performing the reset. Software updates can often resolve system bugs and improve performance.

• To check for updates: Go to Settings > System > System update > Check for update.

SIM and SD Card Removal: It’s generally safe to perform a factory reset with the SIM card and SD card inserted, but if you encounter issues during the reset process (especially if your phone has trouble booting into recovery mode), try removing them temporarily.
