How to Hard Reset — ZTE Open

⏱ ~5 min📋 4 steps

The ZTE Open is a 2013 Firefox OS 1.0 device powered by the Qualcomm MSM7225A Snapdragon S1 with 256MB and 256MB | 512MB internal storage. It features a 3.5", TFT, 320.0x480.0 display and is available in Blue, Orange.

The Open is equipped with a Li-Ion 1200 mAh, removable, a 15 MP, Yes main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration.

Hard Reset on the ZTE Open 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.

💡

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

Firefox OS devices generally don't have a hardware button combination that wipes data the way Android's Recovery Mode does

2

The closest equivalent is the in-menu Factory Reset described in the Factory Reset guide below

3

If the device is completely frozen and won't respond to the Factory Reset menu, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try again

4

Exact steps vary by exact model and firmware version — check the printed manual or the manufacturer's support site if these don't match your device
