Why reset your HTC Touch Pro2?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my HTC Touch Pro2?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the HTC Touch Pro2 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the HTC Touch Pro2 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 HTC Touch Pro2?
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 HTC Touch Pro2 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 HTC Touch Pro2?
Use the Factory Reset method above — the HTC Touch Pro2 doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
Does my HTC Touch Pro2 have a hard reset button?
No — the HTC Touch Pro2 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
How do I format my HTC Touch Pro2?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the HTC Touch Pro2 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
