Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Allview Impera i?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Allview Impera i to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Allview Impera i remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?
No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings — it doesn't remove a carrier/SIM lock, which is tied to the device's IMEI at the network level. You'd need to contact your carrier for an unlock.
How long does a factory reset take on the Allview Impera i?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Does the Allview Impera i lock to an account after a reset?
Usually not — Factory Reset Protection (FRP) and Activation Lock are Android and iOS features. Most other platforms, including this device's, don't add an account lock after a reset.
Can I factory reset my Allview Impera i without the password?
Yes — the reset methods above don't require your lock screen password, since they bypass the normal login screen entirely.
What is recovery mode on my Allview Impera i?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Allview Impera i won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
How do I format my Allview Impera i?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Allview Impera i — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
