The device will enumerate with different BOOT OPTIONS
Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL and VOL UP Key to SELECT

The device will display BLUE Text on a Black background .
Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll DOWN and the PWR Key to SELECT the option desired .
In this case , press the VOL DOWN key till the Wipe data / factory reset is selected and press the PWR key to confirm the selection .
Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the PWR key toCONFIRM .
The device will then start performing the Factory Data Reset
Once the Formatting is complete , press the PWR key to confirm a REBOOT

Performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications. Only perform this reset if absolutely necessary.

Disable Automatic Restore prior to performing a hard (factory) reset when attempting to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
