Factory reset Samsung Galaxy S3 without screen The screen on my Samsung Galaxy S3 has bitten the dust, and is now remains completely black. The phone otherwise seems to be working, however (sounds play, the notification lights light, the touch screen seems to respond, etc.)

I think I'll give it away to anyone who wants it for parts. But first I want to wipe my data off it. Unfortunately, since I can't see the screen, instructions such as "Scroll down to 'Factory reset'" won't work.

Can anyone tell me the exact sequence of button presses to do a factory reset from the bootloader, without seeing the screen?

(Unfortunately, the phone isn't set up with Android Device Manager.)
You could use recovery mode and guess the controls from resources available online or you could use adb if u had developer options enabled and type:

adb shell
--wipe_data


EDIT: I read the comments on your question and it looks like if u wanted to reset it you can go into recovery (Home+VolumeUp+Power) and then press volume down twice and then press power and then press volume down 6 times and then press power again.
