Why reset your LG Xpression C395?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my LG Xpression C395?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the LG Xpression C395 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the LG Xpression C395 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 Xpression C395?
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 Xpression C395 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.
Does my LG Xpression C395 have a hard reset button?
No — the LG Xpression C395 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
How do I format my LG Xpression C395?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the LG Xpression C395 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
What is recovery mode on my LG Xpression C395?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the LG Xpression C395 won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
