How to Hard Reset — Bird S288 Plus

⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The Bird S288 Plus is a 2003 device. It features a CSTN, mono, 112.0x80.0 display and is available in Blue, Red, Grey.

The S288 Plus is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion battery. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 65 g.

Hard Reset on the Bird S288 Plus works differently than it does on Android, since this phone 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

Bird S288 Plus is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone

2

The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below

3

If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
