Factory reset

A factory reset erases everything on your DeviceFreedom — your account, apps, and all data — and restores devicefreedom-os to its default settings. This cannot be undone.

Before you reset

• Back up anything you need. A factory reset permanently deletes all data on your DeviceFreedom, including app data and files. If you have anything important, back it up first.
• Connect via ethernet. Make sure your DeviceFreedom is connected to your router via ethernet (not Wi-Fi) and that you're accessing it from your local network. Wi-Fi settings are erased during the reset, so your DeviceFreedom needs a wired connection to stay reachable through the setup process.

How to factory reset

1. Go to Settings > Advanced settings.
2. Click Reset next to Factory Reset.
3. Review what will be removed and confirm your password to proceed.

Your DeviceFreedom will restart and erase all data. Once complete, you'll be taken through the setup process as if it were brand new.

When to factory reset

A factory reset is a last resort. You should only need one if:

• You want to start completely fresh.
• You're troubleshooting an issue that can't be resolved any other way.
