WARNING! Master resetting your smartphone will return its settings to factory values, and all data stored on the internal memory will be deleted. This includes images, custom ringtones, contacts, downloaded content, apps etc. However, data stored on the SIM and SD cards will not be affected
Before master resetting your smartphone you might want to back up the data. Follow this link for a backup guide, and you can also visit this thread for instructions on restoring your files.
Master Resetting via Settings Menu:
- Press "Menu" while viewing the home screen
- Tap "System settings"

Master Resetting using Hardware Keys (Recovery):
