In this guide for android let's see how to make a reset to factory mode, also called "hard reset" to the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.
The "Hard reset» or restore data to factory mode, we will do it when we have no other solution to the problem we have, an error with applications installed or uninstalled incorrectly, We do not remember the unlock pattern or password, the mobile is blocked and does not respond, etc.
Un hard reset will erase all data, so before doing it, we will make a backup of all our data, documents, contacts, messages, files, ringtones, etc and extract the SD and SIM cards.
As we say, when doing the hard reset s3 mini, all data is lost. Below you can see the video of our ? Youtube ? with all the details.
Procedures to perform the reset to factory mode of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini
If you let us into the menus:
- Settings → Backup and reset → Factory data reset → Reset device → Erase everything.
Through the phone application and entering the following code:
- * 2767 * 3855 # Be careful because all phone data, contacts, messages, etc. are lost. Make a backup first with Samsung Kies.
If it does not let us enter the menus, we will do the reset using the physical buttons:
- We press during 8 - 10 seconds the button on off. The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini it will restart automatically.
- If it still doesn't respond, turn off the phone. Simultaneously press the Volume up, Start / Home keys
- We press and hold the power button until the mobile vibrates.

If you have already done a hard reset and the applications that are not from the system continue, you have to root and through a play store application remove root applications and that's it, I hope it works for you

This is to ask you for the great favor that you tell me how to copy photos or images from the internet and profiles since I leave the finger pressed on images and it does not give me the option to download or copy them.
thank you very much for the help you can give me[/quote]
If you mean copy to computer, please use samsung kies. If it is in the gallery, press an image and leave it for a few seconds, then you can choose others and select them.[/quote]
It depends on how you intend to copy, in general, when you open an image completely, you can copy it by pressing on it, but some you have to do it using the options button on your cell phone, it is not difficult, just look for it well, check if you cannot do it with another browser and So
I didn't find any
I've done all this and even so I can't remove the safe mode I don't know what I should do or what's wrong with my cell phone help
S3 Mini is garbage
It's been a little over a year since I've had this crappy cell phone and after I had problems with slowness and hang ups, like many other people, it happens to me that when the battery is about halfway down. it reboots incessantly and shows up with low charge. There is no other way to be able to use it than to reload it. I tried to restore factory data but it didn't work because of what seems to be the battery which is somewhat swollen. I don't buy Samsung anymore.
Poor quality
I agree with the last comment, this cell phone is very nice and its functions are very attractive... but its operation leaves a lot to be desired. My battery broke and I can't find an original anywhere, because it's very easy to copy them.
Even new batteries last me less than 4 hours... could it be a software problem, the charging circuit, or simply that the battery is not original?
Thank you
products suck
I have an s3mini and a thousand problems…they should be a more responsible company…and make better products…I had never thought of buying an iphone…until today…the s3 mini is less than a year old and has battery and signal problems…THEY JUST LOST A CUSTOMER AND THAT WILL ALSO DO BAD ADVERTISING TO YOUR COMPANY!!!

Use the buttons option, after turning it off, it is the best way to leave it as when you received it in the box.

[quote name=”José Tipacti”]Thanks GUYS! Really… They have made my job very easy. My only recommendation would be to give more labels to this page so that it can be found with any link searched for regarding cell phone unlocking because it took me too long to find it; What's more, I didn't even know of its existence. Marvelous! I thank you very much. ;-)[/quote]
Thank you for your comment, we will take it into account.
Too good!
