How to Hard Reset — LG C299

⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The LG C299 is a 2013 device and 128MB internal storage. It features a 2.2", TFT, 256K colors, 240.0x320.0 display and is available in Gray.

The C299 is equipped with a Li-Ion 950 mAh, removable, a Yes main camera. The device uses a Quad SIM (Mini-SIM) configuration. It weighs 101 g.

Hard Reset on the LG C299 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

LG C299 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
