Often our android phones get so much cluttered that we have no option but to format the phone. How can we format an android phone from our pc with minimum hassle?
First in case of most modern phone we must ensure USB debugging is set to on from advanced settings to get the access to format your phone. We may following steps to get our jobs done the easiest way:
a) We need the android development kit which is available on the Google’s android developer website as resource. Extract the zip that you got to your c drive in program files and rename it AndroidADT.
b) Now we need to set environment variable for our computer to know that we have got the AndroidADT. We need to add the right path to the associated path variable for it. Get to the environmental variable menu and for AndroidADT change the path to where you have extracted and add a ‘;’ before it. If no variable is found create one.
c) Plug in your phone and open the AndroidADT console and type adb shell. As you get the adb shell prompt type –wipe_data and adb will handle the rest.
