How to Restore an LG Cell Phone

Restoring your LG cell phone is a great way to prepare it for resale, fix any problems caused by software updates or installed applications or start over with a brand-new phone. Get rid of overwhelming message loads, contact lists or personalization features. In a few simple steps the original look and feel of your phone will be back in your hands.

Instructions

1. Copy any personal information, including contacts and messages, to avoid losing your data. Open the flip if you're using a flip phone. Select OK to enter the menu.

2. Press 9 to enter "Settings and Tools." Press 6 to enter "Phone Settings." Press 6 to enter "Security." Enter your four-digit lock code provided by your manual or as set by you. Press 6 to "Restore Phone" and enter your four-digit lock code again to confirm.

3. Reset your phone using the unlocking method. Turn on your phone, with the SIM card inserted. From the home screen enter the code "2945#*# 5. ENG," or another code provided for your model, with your type pad. Select "Factory Reset" from the menu that appears. Wait a few minutes for factory unlocking and reset to occur and the phone to automatically restart.
