Why reset your OnePlus 15R?

Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my OnePlus 15R?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the OnePlus 15R to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the OnePlus 15R remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?

No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings โ€” it doesn't remove a carrier/SIM lock, which is tied to the device's IMEI at the network level. You'd need to contact your carrier for an unlock.

How long does a factory reset take on the OnePlus 15R?

Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.

Will I need my Google account password after resetting the OnePlus 15R?

Yes, if Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is enabled. Android (and HarmonyOS 2.x devices with Google services) will ask for the last signed-in Google account after a reset โ€” make sure you know that password first.
