If you have a modified recovery, it will not be necessary for me to explain how to do a factory reset of your Android since you surely have it at hand, and if you have reached the opening of the bootloader and installation of modified recovery, you are left over on these issues.

For all other mortals and basic Android users who haven't modified their device, let them know that almost all Android have an official recovery from which we can also perform this factory reset even if your Android operating system does not finish starting correctly and remains in bootloop.

Then I explain how to do this factory reset by pressing the correct combination of buttons to access this official recovery from which we will be able to restore our Android to factory origins:

Factory reset Samsung from recovery

• Volume up + Home + PowerOn the Samsung Galaxy S8 the correct way is: Volume Up + Bixby Button + Power. Once in the official recovery we will move with the volume keys up and down, we will look for the option of Wipe data factory reset and confirm with the Power button.

Factory reset LG from recovery

• Volume up + power, we hold it down and as soon as the LG logo comes out, we release them and hold them down again until the device reset screen where we will confirm the total erasure of our LG.

Factory reset Huawei / Asus / BQ from recovery

• Volume up + power. Once the official recovery screen appears, we navigate with the volume keys up or down to the option wipe data factory reset and confirm with the Power button.

Factory reset Motorola / Nexus / Google Pixel / HTC from recovery

• Volume down + power. Once the official recovery screen appears, we navigate with the volume keys up or down to the option wipe data factory reset and confirm with the Power button.

Factory reset Xiaomi from recovery

Xiaomi mobiles allow you to access the Recovery mode from the adjustment menu itself by accessing the Updates section and clicking on the settings menu that appears in the upper right part.

If your Xiaomi does not turn on, that is, it does not turn on or has remained in bootloop, you must check in the Xiaomi forums the model of your terminal and the specific way to enter the Recovery with the corresponding key combination as it varies depending on the terminal model. So for example to enter the recovery Mi on the Xiaomi Mi 6 we will have to make the following combination of buttons: Volume up + home + Power, while for example in the Xiaomi Redmi Note range the button combination is as follows: Volume down + Power for about 4 seconds.
