Factory Reset

This command broadcasts an intent with the action android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR. It is used to perform a master clear on the device. A master clear is a more comprehensive reset that typically erases not only user data but also system data, including firmware updates and other settings specific to the device. It is a more thorough reset option that may go beyond a standard factory reset

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR

This command broadcasts an intent with the action android.intent.action.FACTORY_RESET. It initiates a factory reset on the device. A factory reset typically erases user data and settings, returning the device to its original state when it was first manufactured. This action clears user-installed apps, personal settings, and user data while preserving system-level settings and firmware updates.

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.FACTORY_RESET
