Because the RG Cube is an Android 13 handheld, the everyday reset is the standard factory reset inside Settings → System → Reset options; this erases internal storage and returns the device to first-time setup. If the system is too broken to open Settings, power off and hold POWER + VOL UP to enter Android recovery, then choose Wipe data/factory reset. A reset does not touch a removable microSD, but back it up anyway. This is a DRAFT for human review.

FAQ

What is the recovery button combo?
From a powered-off RG Cube, hold POWER + VOL UP until the Android recovery menu appears; navigate with the volume keys and confirm with POWER.
Does a reset erase my microSD card?
No. A factory reset wipes internal storage only. Files on a removable microSD stay, but back them up before resetting just in case.
