- In order to restart it, hold the Volume Down button and just press and release the Power button
- This will take you to the boot screen with options like Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
- Choose Clear Storage option and you can navigate by Volume Up and Volume Down button, and Power button can be used to choose an option
Note – In order to choose between Yes and No, use Volume Up button for Yes and Volume Down for No.
