How do I reset my phone to factory settings?

Factory Data Reset 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 will be affected.

To perform a Factory Data Reset

Open the Applications Tray
Touch Settings
Scroll down and touch SD and Card Storage
Scroll down and touch Factory Data Reset
Touch Reset Phone

If you are unable to navigate through the menu to perform a factory data reset, you can follow the steps outlined below:

Power off the phone, press and hold camera button ( do not release), press power button until phone turns on. Release power button while holding camera button down.
Release the camera button when prompted (following the Batwings boot screen).
Press the volume down button and wait for 15 seconds for a "triangle !" to appear on the screen. ( message "volume up key pressed " will appear )
With flip closed, tap bottom right corner of darkened display (just above back button).
Select "wipe data / factory reset" on screen
Press "Ok". Wait for "data wipe complete" message to appear
Press "reboot system now"
Press "Ok" . Phone will reboot and complete master reset function
