How to Hard Reset — Samsung E740

⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The Samsung E740 is a 2007 device and 30MB internal storage. It features a 2.0", TFT, 256K colors, 176.0x220.0 display and is available in Red.

The E740 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 880 mAh battery, a 2 MP, QCIF main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 92 g.

Hard Reset on the Samsung E740 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.

1

Samsung E740 is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone

2

The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below

3

If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
