How to Hard Reset — BenQ E72

⏱ ~5 min📋 4 steps

The BenQ E72 is a 2007 Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 device powered by the TI OMAP V1030 with 64MB and 128MB internal storage. It features a 2.0", TFT, 65K colors, 240.0x320.0 display and is available in Bright red.

The E72 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 900 mAh battery, a 2 MP, Yes main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 90 g.

Hard Reset on the BenQ E72 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

Windows Mobile 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
