What you need to do ia a Hard reset (Factory data reset),

Master Clear is a tool used to remove everything that was imported, added or installed on the device. Keep in mind, when using this feature; everything is deleted. Nothing stored on the MicroSD or SIM will be affected.

 

To reset the your phone to factory settings and erase all the data on the phone using external key sequence:

1. Power phone off

 

2. Press and hold the following buttons at the same time:

· Volume Up and Down, Green "send button" and Center "OK" button

3. Press "Red" Power on/End call button while still holding the other buttons

4. Release all buttons.

 

5. You will see Motorola emblem appear followed by an image of an arrow going from handset to the phone. This process may take a few minutes. Do not pull battery or power off handset.

  • Reset may take several minutes.

6. Handset will power cycle on its own. When coming back up, the Motorola emblem will reappear.

7. Let phone complete power up process.

8. Once complete, you will start back at the Setup Wizard to input all their previously used credentials. If your handset does not power back on with your carrier's settings, you will need to do a Master Clear through the i1 settings menu at this point to bring back carrier features.

  • At the i1 homescreen, press Menu hard key, select Settings.
  • Scroll down to SDcard & phone storage.
  • Select Master Clear & tap on Reset phone to initiate Master Clear.
