If your phone is locked or unresponsive you can reset it using various methods. One of the best methods is using the hardware keys option. When you perform a hard reset, you restore the factory settings and erase content stored in the internal memory, which includes contacts, images, downloaded ringtones, and programs…
The features below will allow you to reset sound profiles, display settings, and combined phone and memory card settings. However, if you would like to reset your factory settings without losing data then you must make a backup before you perform the hard reset.
In the following article, I will describe step by step to perform a hard reset on two phone models.
First, we will start with the T mobile my touch 4G.
- If your phone is plugged into a charger or USB cable, you will need to unplug it.
- Save all your open files and backup necessary data on the internal memory this protects your files from synchronization
- Remove the battery from the device — this is very important since turning off the device with the power button does not work because of the fast Boot feature.
- Re-insert back your battery,
- Press and hold the power key together with the volume down key, make sure you don’t release any of them.
- When you see three images on your screen release the volume down key and some options are displayed like this:
- FACTORY RESET
- RECOVERY
- IMAGE CRC
- SIM LOCK
- If you find that you are stuck with a screen display that shows “FAST BOOT” and H BOOT without any other options to choose from, it means that you have pressed the Back button. To get back to the regular options press the power key on the H BOOT.
- Press the volume down key twice to select the factory reset on your phone.
- Press the power key in order to initiate the master reset.
- In your last step, you will see a display on the boot-up screen with images of arrows above a device with a progress bar, and finally, the phone is restarted.
