Smartphone operating systems might not always be as easy to navigate as desktop OSs—finding files nested on the Android operating system can sometimes be a complex task in comparison to using File Explorer on the Windows operating system—but one thing that does work in their favor is problem-solving.

Rarely do you ever have to spend time trying to figure out the solution to a problem with the BLU Studio 5.0 smartphone because most things can be fixed by simply taking a hard reset instead, a bit like utilizing a get out of jail free card.

Despite many people saying otherwise, a hard reset and a factory reset on the BLU Studio 5.0 device will yield the same outcomes: the phone will be restored to its default, factory state on both occasions. In other words, the same state that it was in when it left the factory responsible for manufacturing it. This means you shouldn’t expect to find any applications that you installed yourself still on the device. Any settings that you changed will be returned to how they were when you first opened the BLU Studio 5.0 out of the box too. And, of course, unless you took a backup, all the data that you accumulated—pictures, documents, music, so forth—will no longer be available once the hard reset is complete.

There are numerous similarities between computers and smartphones: they are made up of many of the same components, and all have the same heart, veins, and brain, so to speak. When it comes to resetting the software though, there are some differences. A modern-day computer operating system will offer three ways to reset: rebooting the OS, force-closing all open applications and forcing a reboot, and then a third way, which will return the device to its factory state, if desired. The mobile operating system offers the factory reset option, and the only alternative being the soft reset, which is the same as a straightforward reboot of the operating system.

You shouldn’t worry about a hard reset causing any harm to your BLU Studio 5.0 smartphone; provided that you’ve backed up any data that you didn’t want to lose, very little else can go wrong.

This guide is also suitable for anyone who wants to learn:

  • How to factory reset BLU Studio 5.0 smartphones.
  • How to wipe all data on BLU Studio 5.0 smartphones.
  • How to bypass screen lock on BLU Studio 5.0 smartphones.
  • How to restore defaults on BLU Studio 5.0 smartphones.
  • How to master reset BLU Studio 5.0 smartphones.

This is what you need to do to apply a hard reset by using the hardware keys and the settings that already come with your device.

How to Hard Reset BLU Studio 5.0 Smartphones

1. Start off by switching off the BLU Studio 5.0 smartphone by holding in the Power button and then selecting the option to turn the power off completely.

2. Reboot the BLU Studio 5.0 smartphone by holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for about two seconds.

3. Remove your fingers from the buttons only when you see a new menu pop-up on the device’s display.

4. Now press the Volume Up button to get access to the  Android System Recovery.

5. Wait until you see the Android robot icon appear on the smartphone’s display, and then press the Power button.

6. From the Recovery menu, select the “Wipe data / Factory reset” option by scrolling with the Volume buttons and confirming your choice with the Power button once you have it highlighted.

7. From the next screen, select the Yes–delete all user data” option by scrolling with the Volume buttons and confirming your choice with the Power button once again.

8. When the data is all wiped, tap on the “reboot system now” option.

That’s all you need to hard reset the BLU Studio 5.0 smartphone by using the Recovery menu.

Applying a hard reset is probably one of the more commonly exchanged phrases for when people are referring to implementing a factory reset, but the same guide above is also good for a few other causes. The same steps would also work if you just wanted to wipe all of the data on your BLU Studio 5.0 smartphone, for instance. Likewise, you could also use the same steps for bypassing the screen lock or just to restore the defaults on the BLU Studio 5.0 device.
