How to Hard Reset — HTC Shift
The HTC Shift is a 2007 Microsoft Vista Business and SnapVUE OS device with 1GB and 128MB | 1GB internal storage. It features a 7.0", TFT resistive touchscreen, 16M colors, 800.0x480.0 display.
The Shift is equipped with a Non-removable Li-Po 2700 mAh battery, a Yes main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 800 g.
Hard Reset on the HTC Shift 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.
HTC Shift is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone
The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below
If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
