How to Hard Reset — Samsung A657
The Samsung A657 is a 2009 device and 128MB internal storage. It features a 1.9", TFT, 256K colors, 176.0x220.0 display and is available in Black.
The A657 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1420 mAh battery. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 123 g.
Hard Reset on the Samsung A657 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.
Samsung A657 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
