The OnePlus 2 packs in a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to overall performance, but that doesn't stop it from occasionally running into software issues. Be it unresponsive keys, app crashes or camera problems; sometimes, we just can't fix these errors even after trying every trick in the book. And that's when you need to know how to factory reset the OnePlus 2
Make sure you back up your important files before resetting your OnePlus 2.
It's important to note that you will not lose your warranty by performing a factory reset, nor will your phone go back to the version of Android that it originally came with. However, all your downloaded apps, user accounts, settings, photo, and music will be removed, so back them up before doing a factory reset. Make sure your OnePlus 2 is fully charged too, because you don’t want the reset process to be interrupted or your phone to get bricked.
There are two ways to set your OnePlus 2 back to its original factory state. Either by going to settings menu or by performing a hardware reset.
