Additional Information

External Storage: Before initiating the hard reset, remove any external storage devices such as microSD cards from the device. The hard reset process typically only affects the internal storage, but removing external storage devices ensures that no data is accidentally wiped from them.

SIM and Memory Card Removal: While not necessary for the hard reset process itself, it’s a good practice to remove the SIM card and memory card from the Vivo Y12s before performing a hard reset. This prevents any accidental changes or data loss associated with these cards during the reset process.

Factory Reset Protection (FRP): After the hard reset, if the Vivo Y12s had a Google account linked to it, it may be subject to Factory Reset Protection (FRP). FRP is a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized access to a device after a factory reset. Ensure you have access to the Google account and password previously associated with the device to bypass FRP during the setup process.

Data Encryption: If the data on your Vivo Y12s is encrypted, performing a hard reset will not decrypt the data. Instead, the encryption key will be wiped during the reset process, making the data inaccessible. Keep this in mind if you’ve encrypted any sensitive data on your device.

Accessibility Options: During the initial setup process after the hard reset, the Vivo Y12s may prompt you to configure accessibility options such as TalkBack or magnification gestures. These options can assist users with visual impairments in navigating the device. You can configure these options according to your preferences.
