Why reset your Celkon A97?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Celkon A97?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Celkon A97 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Celkon A97 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 Celkon A97?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Will I need my Google account password after resetting the Celkon A97?
Yes, if Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is enabled. Android (and HarmonyOS 2.x devices with Google services) will ask for the last signed-in Google account after a reset — make sure you know that password first.
