Here are the step-by-step methods to factory reset your Vivo Y28 5G.

Part 1: Before You Reset – Critical Preparation Steps

Skipping these steps often leads to permanent data loss. Take 10 minutes to prepare your Vivo Y28 5G.

Method 2: Factory Reset via Recovery Mode

1. Power off your device: Turn off your Vivo Y28 5G.
2. Press and hold buttons: Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
3. Enter Recovery Mode: Release the Power button but continue to hold the Volume Up button until you enter Recovery Mode.
4. Select Wipe Data: Use the Volume buttons to navigate to "Wipe Data" and press the Power button to select.
5. Confirm Wipe Data: Confirm that you want to wipe data.
6. Wait for the process to complete: The device will begin the reset process, which may take a few minutes.

2. Using Recovery mode (if phone won’t boot or you forgot the lock PIN)

• You have forgotten your lock screen password/pattern.
• The phone is frozen, boot-loops, or won't boot past the Vivo logo.
• The screen is unresponsive but buttons work.

First Boot
The first reboot after a recovery reset takes longer (up to 5 minutes). Do not interrupt it.

Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons at the same time. Release the buttons when the Fastboot Mode screen appears.

• Correct combination: Volume Up + Power (not Volume Down).
• Timing: Release Power at the logo, but hold Volume Up for 3-5 seconds longer.

1. Power off the phone completely.
2. Press and hold Volume Up and Power buttons together until the Vivo logo appears, then release both — this enters Recovery.
3. Use the volume buttons to navigate to “Wipe data” or “Wipe data/factory reset” and use Power to confirm.
4. Select “Yes” to confirm data wipe.
5. After completion, choose “Reboot system now.”
