How to Hard Reset — Nokia X

⏱ ~5 min📋 7 steps

The Nokia X is a 2014 Android 4.1.2 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play with 512MB and 4GB internal storage. It features a 4.0", IPS LCD, 480.0x800.0 display and is available in Bright green, bright red, cyan, yellow, black, white.

The X is equipped with a Li-Ion 1500 mAh, removable (BN-01), a 15 MP, 480p@30fps main camera. The device uses a Single SIM (Micro-SIM) or Dual SIM (Micro-SIM, dual stand-by) configuration. It weighs 128.7 g.

Hard resetting your Nokia X via Recovery Mode will completely wipe all data, apps, accounts and settings, restoring the device to its original factory state. This is commonly used to fix persistent software issues, boot loops, prepare the phone for sale, or recover from a forgotten screen lock. Back up your data before proceeding as this cannot be undone.

All data will be permanently erased. Back up first.
