How To Reset LG Revolution

A soft reset is a useful tool to use if the LG Revolution were to lock up or become unresponsive. Much like rebooting a computer, the soft reset will restart the handset without deleting any data stored in either the main memory or my storage. This reset action retains all of your handset’s default parameters and settings.

To reset LG Revolution follow the steps below:

1. Pull up on the area indicated by the arrow (1) then pull the battery cover up and off (2), as shown below
2. Carefully insert a thin blunt object (such as a stylus) into the reset slot, located on the lower left side, below the OK button
3. This action will exit the current screen and cycle power to the handset

Method 2. Hard Reset

To perform a hard reset of the LG Revolution follow the steps below:

1. Pull up on the area indicated by the arrow (1) then pull the battery cover up and off (2), as shown below
2. Carefully insert a thin blunt object (such as a stylus) into the reset slot, located on the lower left side, below the OK button
3. Immediately after pressing the reset slot, press the following keys TOGETHER, SEND key, END key and LOCK key at the same time
Note: The buttons must be pressed exactly at the same time
4. Touch Yes to confirm formatting the handset.
NOTE: Perfoming a hard reset will delete ALL personal data and information (contacts, applications, widgets) from the LG Revolution and restore it to default factory settings.

You can reset the handset’s default settings and clear all data/applications from LG Revolution’s internal memory by using the Clear Data option. This option resets the handset to its factory default settings, ends all applications currently running, and permanently removes all data (pictures/videos/contacts) from the handset.
Note: Although this action wipes all information and settings from the LG Revolution (Omnia II), you can circumvent the deletion of important data by storing it on a removable microSD memory card prior to performing the hard reset.

To clear LG Revolution all data follow the steps below:

1. From the home screen, touch Start
2. Touch Settings
3. From the Basic Settings tab, scroll to the bottom then touch Memory Settings
4. Touch Clear All Data
5. Touch Clear All Data
6. Touch Yes to permanently erase all data and reset settings to the factory defaults
7. Enter the device lock code (last four digits of your phone number), then touch Done
8. Touch Yes to confirm permanently erasing all data and resetting settings to the factory defaults (This process will take few minutes to perform, Do not touch any other buttons or remove the battery during this process)
