Important Warning: Safety First
"Before you proceed, please be aware that a Hard Reset will delete all data stored on your device's internal memory. Ensure you have backed up your important files. Additionally, verify that you know your Google Account (Gmail) login details, as the Android Factory Reset Protection (FRP) will ask for them once the device restarts. Keep your battery charged above 50% to prevent any interruption during the process."
