      • How do I stop a factory reset on a Lumia 550?
        I last backed up the phone about a week ago, but tonight it has gone into the factory reset mode by itself. I’ve tried removing the battery for awhile, rebooting it, and even connecting to a laptop etc but it still is going through this process.
        I’m unable to therefore back up my data for the last week (which I need) and I really need to know how to stop this reset before I lose all of the data. 🙁
