How do I wipe my old S22 Ultra that I am supposed to send in for repairs. Both the screen and the USB port are broken. It requires a wipe before I send it in. I am freaking out as I am already a week overdue. I can't figure it out. I already have my New S22 Ultra and it works great. How do I wipe the old one with now to see screen or connect to PC?!

You mean data reset?

You can connect it to your PC and use Smart Switch PC to back it up

Screen is broken + my USB Charging port on phone is broken

Can you turn it off first?

#

You need it to be powered off before going into recovery menu

Power it off

#

By any ways possible

#

Not just turning the screen off

#

Hm since you have the charging port broken, it's impossible to do so

orchid marsh
#

yeaaa

#

tell me about it

#

im already down 300$ and they require me to wipe

#

idk what to do

#

That sucks

#

Even if the screen is broken, you could still use the android recovery menu and feel it (since it doesn't require touch but physical buttons
But it requires being plugged into a computer first
