Factory Data Reset (Powered Off) - LG G Pad 8.3 LTE

Here's how to factory / hard reset your G Pad 8.3 LTE if the screen freezes or app, audio or sync issues occur and the device won't start up.
  • Perform a factory data reset only if necessary as it removes your Google™ account and all data including system data, app data and media.
  • For devices with Android™ Device Protection turned on, it's imperative Google sign-in credentials are known prior to completing a factory reset with the device powered off. If credentials are unknown, do one of the following:
  • If a pattern, PIN, etc. is or has ever been set up on the device, Google account sign-in is required during initial setup.
  1. Ensure the device is powered off.
    If the device is responsive and can be powered on, the preferred reset method should be performed.
  2. Simultaneously press and hold the
    Power
    and
    Volume down buttons
    until the System recovery screen appears then release.
  3. From the System recovery screen, select
    Factory data reset
    .
    Utilize the Volume buttons to highlight and the Power button to select.
  4. Tap
    Yes
    to confirm.
    Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.
    If applicable, set up your device.
