Selling used android , how to wipe data?

[Arjun]

Is doing factory reset enough?

Yes do Factory reset and format your memory card.

Done

delete..................

 

[kartikoli]

Memory card can be recovered .... just fill up the card with random data and simply delete it
In this case recovery will fetch the random data you filled in
This is simple and fast

I would say do the following in sequence:
1. do factory reset
2. format the card
3. Do a data shredding. Refer the link to learn how to do it - 9 Free Data Destruction Software Programs
Just to be doubly sure, do what Kartik says in above post, before Step 3.

^ i dont care about memory card, the bundled memory card is brand new i never used it , i am worried about internal storage & email & other passwords

 

[Pratik.Sampat]

^^^ For that Factory reset is enuf bro.

Are there any other risks? like phone being used for illegal activity & i get blamed? I am selling it on classified site to unknown person

as long as u dont have ant personal data i dont think there should be an issue.

There is always a chance. Try to have some sort of proof that you sold the phone with IMEI XXXX to person Y.
