How to Hard Reset Vivo X200 (Android 15) Without a Computer
The Vivo X200, running on Android 15, is a powerful and feature-rich smartphone. But sometimes, you may face issues such as system crashes, lagging, forgotten passwords, or even malware infections. In such cases, a hard reset—also known as a factory reset—is one of the most effective solutions to restore your phone to its original performance.
This guide will show you how to hard reset the Vivo X200 without using a computer, using simple steps through Recovery Mode. Whether your device is frozen, locked, or just acting up, follow the steps below carefully to bring it back to life.
⚠️ Important Precautions Before Resetting
Before you begin, there are a few crucial things to keep in mind:
1. Backup Your Data
A hard reset will erase all your personal data, including:
-
Photos and videos
-
Apps and app data
-
Contacts and messages
-
Downloads and documents
If your device is still responsive, back up your important files to Google Drive, Vivo Cloud, or an SD card.
2. Remove Google Account (If Possible)
If your phone is accessible, go to:
Settings > Accounts > Google > [your account] > Remove
This avoids Factory Reset Protection (FRP), which will ask for your Google credentials after the reset.
3. Charge Your Phone
Make sure your battery is at least 50% charged to prevent shutdown during the reset process.
🔄 How to Hard Reset Vivo X200 Using Recovery Mode

✅ Step 1: Power Off Your Phone

Then tap Restart or Reboot system now.
Your Vivo X200 will now reboot and return to its original factory state.
🔓 What Happens After the Reset?
When your phone restarts:
-
You’ll see the initial setup screen, just like when you first bought the phone.
-
You'll need to sign in to your Google account (if FRP is active).
-
Reinstall apps and restore your data if you had a backup.
If you didn’t remove the Google account before the reset, make sure you know the login credentials—this is essential to unlock the phone post-reset.

If your Vivo X200 is still working and you just want a fresh start:
-
Go to Settings.
