Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my LG GW370 Rumour Plus?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the LG GW370 Rumour Plus to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the LG GW370 Rumour Plus 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 LG GW370 Rumour Plus?

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 LG GW370 Rumour Plus 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 LG GW370 Rumour Plus?

Use the Factory Reset method above — the LG GW370 Rumour Plus doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.

Does my LG GW370 Rumour Plus have a hard reset button?

No — the LG GW370 Rumour Plus doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.

Can I factory reset my LG GW370 Rumour Plus without the password?

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