Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Allview Start M7?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Allview Start M7 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Allview Start M7 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 Start M7?
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 Start M7 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.
What is recovery mode on my Allview Start M7?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Allview Start M7 won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
Does my Allview Start M7 have a hard reset button?
No — the Allview Start M7 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
Can I factory reset my Allview Start M7 without the password?
Yes — the reset methods above don't require your lock screen password, since they bypass the normal login screen entirely.
