Tips & Warnings

• Many people claimed this method did not work until 20 or 30 tried, I guess they just press the hard reset key once but not keep pressing it. In this case, the white screen will display for a second, but disappear right away when you withdraw your stylus.
• This method WON'T help you get rid of the ATT bloatwares.
• Do BACKUP your contacts, calendar, tasks and everything you stored on the phone, because a hard reset will clean everything you put in the phone and restore the phone back to its factory default stage.
