Factory resetting is a crucial and important step. It removes all the data that is present in the mobile phone including the contacts, notes, documents, pictures and even the installed apps. In LG G2, factory reset can be done via three ways out of which two methods are quite simple and the other one is similar to rooting of the mobile.
