If your Plum Hammer does prompt for a security code after reset, check Plum's support site for their specific unlock process.

Why reset your Plum Hammer?

A hard reset on the Plum Hammer fixes boot loops, forgotten PINs and persistent lag. The method above will wipe the device back to factory condition. Always back up your data first, as a reset cannot be undone.

Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Plum Hammer?

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

Does resetting the Plum Hammer 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 Plum Hammer?

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 Plum Hammer 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.

What is recovery mode on my Plum Hammer?

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

How do I format my Plum Hammer?

"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Plum Hammer — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.

How do I reset my Plum Hammer?

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