Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Lava Iris 349S?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Lava Iris 349S to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Lava Iris 349S 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 Lava Iris 349S?
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 Lava Iris 349S?
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 Lava Iris 349S have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Lava Iris 349S 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 Lava Iris 349S?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Lava Iris 349S — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
How do I reset my Lava Iris 349S?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Lava Iris 349S 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.
