T-Mobile myTouch 4G hard reset
If the phone is locked, frozen,
or unresponsive, you can reset it using the hardware buttons instead of
the menu. To perform a hard reset using the hardware keys, follow these
steps:
Note: A hard reset restores the original factory settings and erases content, including downloaded ringtones, images, programs, and contacts stored in the internal memory. This feature allows for resetting of sound profiles, display settings, and phone or memory card settings. However, if you want to try resetting some factory settings without losing any data, then clear system cache before a master reset.
1. Save any open files, and back up all necessary data on the internal memory if the device is responsive and can synchronize files.
2. If the phone is plugged into the charger or USB cable, unplug it.
3. Remove the battery.
* Important: Removing the battery is required. Turning off the phone with the Power key does not work, because of the Fast Boot feature.
4. Re-insert the battery.
5. Press and hold both the Volume Down key and the Power key. Do not release the volume key, continue on to step 6.
6. Release the Volume Down key when the three Android images appear on the bottom of the screen. The following options dsplay:
* FASTBOOT
* RECOVERY
* FACTORY RESET
* SIMLOCK
* IMAGE CRC
* Note: If the you are stuck on a screen that says 'HBOOT' and 'FASTBOOT' without any other options to choose from, it means you have pressed the Back button. To get to the regular options, press either the Power key on HBOOT or the Back button.
6. Press the Volume Down key twice to select FACTORY RESET.
7. Press the Power key to initiate the master reset.
8. Wait as the device displays the boot up screen, then shows a picture of arrows above a device with a progress bar. It then restarts.
