How to Hard Reset — Microsoft Kin One
The Microsoft Kin One is a 2010 device powered by the Nvidia Tegra with 256MB and 4GB internal storage. It features a 2.6", TFT, 320.0x240.0 display and is available in Black.
The Kin One is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1240 mAh battery, a 5 MP, 480p@30fps main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 110 g.
Hard Reset on the Microsoft Kin One 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.
Microsoft Kin One 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
