Introduction

If you perform a hard reset, you will lose all your data including photos, documents, etc.

Only perform a hard reset if you are having operating system problems, you forgot your password, PIN, or pattern lock, or if you want to erase all the data stored on your device.

This procedure is compatible with the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (model numbers SM-T211, SM-T215, SM-T215), Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 (model number SM-T110), Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 3G (model number SM-T111) and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 WiFi (model numbers P3210, SM-T210).

If your tablet is connected to the Internet and you have a Google account on it, you may be able to bypass the security with Android Device manager using this YouTube video guide. Using this method will save your personal data.

If you have a problem with navigation in the Android System Recovery menu, you can see an explanation of how to fix it in the ‘Problem with navigation in the Android System Recovery menu’ guide.
