Why reset your Honor 500 Pro (China)?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Honor 500 Pro (China)?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Honor 500 Pro (China) to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Honor 500 Pro (China) 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 Honor 500 Pro (China)?
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 Honor 500 Pro (China)?
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.
Does my Honor 500 Pro (China) have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Honor 500 Pro (China) uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
How do I format my Honor 500 Pro (China)?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Honor 500 Pro (China) — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
How do I reset my Honor 500 Pro (China)?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Honor 500 Pro (China) 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.
