Backup Important Data: Back up your important data before performing a hard reset. This can include contacts, photos, videos, documents, and any other files you do not want to lose. You can back up data using Google Drive, an external SD card, or your computer.

Ensure Sufficient Battery: Make sure your Vivo XL4 has at least 50% battery charge before starting the reset process. A device that shuts down during a reset can encounter serious issues.

Remove External SD Card: Although the reset process typically does not affect data stored on an external SD card, removing it is a good practice to prevent accidental formatting.
