Why reset your ZTE Grand X4?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my ZTE Grand X4?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the ZTE Grand X4 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the ZTE Grand X4 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 ZTE Grand X4?
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 ZTE Grand X4?
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.
How do I reset my ZTE Grand X4?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your ZTE Grand X4 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.
Does my ZTE Grand X4 have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the ZTE Grand X4 uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
How do I format my ZTE Grand X4?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the ZTE Grand X4 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
