How to Restore Android after Factory Reset

According to the professional explanation of Factory Reset from Wikipedia, a factory reset, also called master reset, is a software restore of an electronic device. It can erase all information stored on the device to restore the device’s software to its original manufacturer settings. This is often used to fix the chronic performance issues such as freezing and will not remove the device's operating system. Data on the SIM card and the Micro SD card are not erased.

Fixed problem: Android’s factory reset has a security problem

How do you sell a phone without giving away the data on it? If you've used a phone even briefly, it's filled with all kinds of sensitive data, including passwords and login tokens alongside personal texts and photos, all of which need to be removed before   sale.

Normally the standard answer is factory reset, which wipes the memory and restores the phone’s setting, but there’s a growing body of evidence that, for Android phones at least, the factory reset isn’t enough. The core of the problem is flash memory, which limits how often a given block of memory can be overwritten.

The quick fix for this is simple: encrypt the data on your phone before you get rid of it. (Settings > Security > Encrypt Phone, for any Android version since 3.0.). If you need it more safe, you can make factory reset after encrypting the phone.
