Why reset your Ericsson GO 118?
A hard reset on the Ericsson GO 118 fixes boot loops, forgotten PINs and persistent lag. The method above will wipe the device back to factory condition. Always back up your data first, as a reset cannot be undone.
Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Ericsson GO 118?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Ericsson GO 118 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Ericsson GO 118 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 Ericsson GO 118?
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 Ericsson GO 118 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 Ericsson GO 118?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Ericsson GO 118 won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
Does my Ericsson GO 118 have a hard reset button?
No — the Ericsson GO 118 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
How do I reset my Ericsson GO 118?
Use the Factory Reset method above — the Ericsson GO 118 doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
