Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Cubot A20?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Cubot A20 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Cubot A20 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 Cubot A20?
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 Cubot A20?
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.
What is recovery mode on my Cubot A20?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Cubot A20 won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
How do I format my Cubot A20?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Cubot A20 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
How do I reset my Cubot A20?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Cubot A20 is frozen or won't respond, or the Factory Reset method if the screen still works normally — both are covered step by step on this page.
