How to Hard Reset — Samsung Q100

⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The Samsung Q100 is a 2001 device. It features a Monochrome graphic, 128.0x128.0 display.

The Q100 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion battery. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 85 g.

Hard Reset on the Samsung Q100 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 Q100 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
