Hi,
I'm about to sell my device online and I have a few questions in concerning to security and encryption.
I did a factory reset on the phone, erasing all data and before I created my ad to sell my cell-phone online I did a little research to make sure their is no way for this data to be recovered.
I ended up learning that you are suppose to encrypt the device and then do a factory reset to ensure your data will not be recoverable.
I've already done a factory reset , I'm wondering what happens if i were to encrpyt the device now that it has empty files and just a factory-reset phone and re-did another factory reset?
Basically,
(HTC M8 )Android Phone
=> Lots of personal files
=> Did a factory reset
=> Googled to make sure theirs no way for someone to recover my data
=> Learn about encrypting a phone before doing a factory reset
=> I've already done the factory reset and I have yet to encrypt the phone.
I'm wondering what are the steps to ensure that my previous factory reset data is not recoverable?
What are the steps I have to take to just make sure no one can recover my data =>
E.G my saved passwords, banking information that had gotten "wiped" from my factory reset from the settings.
Thanks,
