How to Hard Reset — Motorola W231
The Motorola W231 is a 2008 device and 1MB internal storage. It features a 1.6", CSTN, 65K colors, 128.0x128.0 display and is available in Red.
The W231 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion battery. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 85 g.
Hard Reset on the Motorola W231 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.
Motorola W231 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
