ASUS ZenPad™ Z10 - Factory Data Reset (Powered Off)

Here's how to factory / hard reset your ZenPad Z10 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. Press and hold the
    Volume Down button
    on the right edge of the device.
  3. While continuing to hold Volume Down, press and hold the
    Power button
    until the Fastboot options menu appears then release.
  4. From the Fastboot options menu, select
    Factory reset
    .
    Utilize the volume buttons to cycle through the available options and the power button to select.
    Allow several minutes for the factory data reset and reboot process to complete.
    If applicable, set up your device.
