Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Pantech C790 Reveal?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Pantech C790 Reveal to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Pantech C790 Reveal 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 Pantech C790 Reveal?

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 Pantech C790 Reveal 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 Pantech C790 Reveal have a hard reset button?

No — the Pantech C790 Reveal doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.

What is recovery mode on my Pantech C790 Reveal?

Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Pantech C790 Reveal won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.

How do I reset my Pantech C790 Reveal?

Use the Factory Reset method above — the Pantech C790 Reveal doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
