Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Sharp Aquos R5G?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Sharp Aquos R5G to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Sharp Aquos R5G remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?
No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings — 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 Sharp Aquos R5G?
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 Sharp Aquos R5G?
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 — make sure you know that password first.
How do I reset my Sharp Aquos R5G?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Sharp Aquos R5G is frozen or won't respond, or the Factory Reset method if the screen still works normally — both are covered step by step on this page.
Can I factory reset my Sharp Aquos R5G without the password?
Yes — resetting through recovery mode doesn't require your lock screen password, since it bypasses the login screen entirely. That said, Factory Reset Protection may still ask for your Google account credentials afterward as an anti-theft measure.
What is recovery mode on my Sharp Aquos R5G?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Sharp Aquos R5G won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
