Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Samsung U460 Intensity II?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Samsung U460 Intensity II to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Samsung U460 Intensity II 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 U460 Intensity II?

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 Samsung U460 Intensity II 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 Samsung U460 Intensity II?

Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Samsung U460 Intensity II won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.

How do I reset my Samsung U460 Intensity II?

Use the Factory Reset method above — the Samsung U460 Intensity II doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.

Does my Samsung U460 Intensity II have a hard reset button?

No — the Samsung U460 Intensity II doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
