How to Hard Reset — BLU Win HD LTE

⏱ ~5 min📋 4 steps

The BLU Win HD LTE is a 2015 Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1, upgradable to Windows 10 device powered by the Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 (28 nm) with 1GB and 1GB | 8GB internal storage. It features a 5.0", IPS LCD, 720.0x1280.0 display and is available in Grey, White, Orange, Yellow.

The Win HD LTE is equipped with a Li-Po 2500 mAh, non-removable, a 8 MP, 1080p@30fps main camera, a 2 MP front camera. The device uses a Dual SIM (Micro-SIM, dual stand-by) configuration. It weighs 146 g.

Hard Reset on the BLU Win HD LTE 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 Phone 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
