Hard Reset on the Sony Ericsson G502 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

Sony Ericsson G502 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
