Why reset your Asus P735?

Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Asus P735?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Asus P735 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Asus P735 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 Asus P735?

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 Asus P735 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 Asus P735?

Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Asus P735 won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.

Does my Asus P735 have a hard reset button?

No — the Asus P735 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.

How do I reset my Asus P735?

Use the Factory Reset method above — the Asus P735 doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
