⏱ ~5 min📋 4 steps

The alcatel 3088 is a 2019 KaiOS 2.5.1 device powered by the Spreadtrum SC9820E and 4GB internal storage. It features a 2.4", TFT LCD, 256K colors, 240.0x320.0 display and is available in Black, Gray, Blue.

The 3088 is equipped with a Li-Ion 1530 mAh battery, a 2 MP, 480p main camera. The device uses a Nano-SIM configuration. It weighs 90 g.

Hard Reset on the alcatel 3088 works differently than it does on Android, since this platform uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.

💡

On this device this is just a forced restart/power-cycle — it does not erase data by itself. See Factory Reset for the data-erasing option.

1

KaiOS devices generally don't have a hardware button combination that wipes data the way Android's Recovery Mode does

2

The closest equivalent is the in-menu Factory Reset described in the Factory Reset guide below

3

If the device is completely frozen and won't respond to the Factory Reset menu, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try again

4

Exact steps vary by exact model and firmware version — check the printed manual or the manufacturer's support site if these don't match your device
