Why reset your HMD 105 4G?

A hard reset on the HMD 105 4G 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 HMD 105 4G?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the HMD 105 4G to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the HMD 105 4G 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 HMD 105 4G?

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 HMD 105 4G 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.

How do I reset my HMD 105 4G?

Use the Factory Reset method above — the HMD 105 4G doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.

Can I factory reset my HMD 105 4G without the password?

Yes — the reset methods above don't require your lock screen password, since they bypass the normal login screen entirely.

Does my HMD 105 4G have a hard reset button?

No — the HMD 105 4G doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
