How to Hard Reset — Motorola MPx

⏱ ~5 min📋 4 steps

The Motorola MPx is a 2004 Microsoft PocketPC 2003 SE device powered by the TI OMAP 1710 and 32MB internal storage. It features a 2.8", TFT resistive touchscreen, 65k colors, 240.0x320.0 display.

The MPx is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 960 mAh battery, a 3 MP, Yes main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 174 g.

Hard Reset on the Motorola MPx 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 Mobile 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
