⏱ ~5 min📋 5 steps

The T-Mobile MDA Compact IV is a 2008 Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional device powered by the Qualcomm MSM7201A with 128MB and 4GB internal storage. It features a 2.8", TFT resistive touchscreen, 65K colors, 480.0x640.0 display and is available in Black.

The MDA Compact IV is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 900 mAh battery, a 15 MP, CIF@30fps main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 98 g.

Factory Reset on the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV works differently than it does on Android, since this platform uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.

⚠

All personal data, accounts, and apps will be permanently removed.

1

Back up your data first — Windows Mobile resets erase everything

2

From the Today screen, go to Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage

3

Enter the confirmation code, commonly 1234 by default

4

Tap 'Yes' to confirm — the device restarts and reinstalls its default configuration

5

On older stylus models, a physical reset pinhole near the battery only performs a soft restart, not a data wipe
