⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The Sony Ericsson Yari is a 2009 device and 60MB internal storage. It features a 2.4", TFT, 16M colors, 240.0x320.0 display and is available in Achromatic Black, Cranberry White, Metal Rose.

The Yari is equipped with a Removable Li-Po 1000 mAh battery, a 5 MP, 480p@30fps main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 115 g.

Hard Reset on the Sony Ericsson Yari 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 Yari 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
