Why reset your Samsung M900 Moment?

A hard reset on the Samsung M900 Moment 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 Samsung M900 Moment?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Samsung M900 Moment to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Samsung M900 Moment 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 Samsung M900 Moment?

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 Samsung M900 Moment?

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 Samsung M900 Moment have a hard reset button?

Not a single dedicated button — the Samsung M900 Moment uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.

How do I reset my Samsung M900 Moment?

Use the Hard Reset method above if your Samsung M900 Moment 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.

How do I format my Samsung M900 Moment?

"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Samsung M900 Moment — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
