Why reset your Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition 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 Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition?
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 Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition 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.
How do I reset my Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition 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.
Can I factory reset my Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition without the password?
Yes — the reset methods above don't require your lock screen password, since they bypass the normal login screen entirely.
What is recovery mode on my Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
