I need to hard reset my locked IPhone 4 without a computer

I Was giving my aunts old iPhone 4. She told me to hard reset it, and it was mine. It is locked up and I dont have a computer, how do I hard reset it?

A reset is holding down the home and sleep button, waiting for the Apple logo and then letting go of the buttons.

    Hello,
    I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 3 hours by now!!!!
    I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns off, gets the screen black with only the animated circle going on. And it's been there since then.
    Is this a symptom of something bad? Should I do the hard reset by another way?

    Hello Ali Syed,
    It sounds like your phone is stuck at the spinning gear icon on the screen after Erasing all Content and Settings on your device. I would start by resetting the device with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:

  • I need to hard reset a Palm TX but the Power button does not function.

    I need to hard reset my Palm TX but the Power button does not function. Is there any other way to perform the hard reset or otherwise delete all of my data?

    Hi,
    PowerBtn from the Canuck Software HomePage.
    NOTE: This is Not a Blazer friendly download and only for downloading using a Chunky Computer thingie.
    http://www.canuck-software.ca/
    PowerBtn will allow you to set a HardButton to turn the TX on and off in the same fashion as the PowerButton, if you want.
    This setting will remain active while 'Enable' on the PowerBtn screen is active.
    The user can select 'Disable' on the PowerBtn screen.
    The setting will survive a Soft Reset. (Hi PG )
    If the Palm PowerButton fails completely then you will not be able to do a Hard Reset.
    The PowerBtn app has a 'Hard Reset button' which you tap and after a time countdown (you can cancel in this time) it will perform a Hard Reset. This is the same as the Hard Reset app mentioned above.
    The 'Enable' and 'Disable' mentioned above do not affect the 'Hard Reset button'
    NOTE: PowerBtn also has a 'Program itself becomes power button' feature but I do NOT recommend you use this.
    If you enable this you will not be able to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' because when you Tap on the PowerBtn Icon the TX will turn Off. The only way to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' would be to Delete PowerBtn then install again.
    You can also turn your TX On by pushing the 5WayNav Select (middle button) to bring up the clock then double push it. The TX will stay on at the same place it was in when you turned it off, in the same way it would if you used the Power Button
    All the best, woz of oz

    Because it is more far-reaching than just turning the phone off and back on, it completely takes out anything in volatile memory, etc. I do reset mine if I notice problems such as no email coming in, text message issues, etc. but the same thing could probably be accomplished by just turning the phone off and on in your case.
    Thanks deggie, I think I get it now. Volatile memory (I had to look it up!) is memory that is lost on loss of power, so it's as you say... I'm not achieving anything on a normally functioning iPhone as on-off achieves the same result!... Thanks

  • I did a hard reset on my iphone 5.  When it was resetting  black lines with text saying there were errors popped up at the top of the screen. any ideas??

    I did a hard reset on my Iphone 5,  when it was resetting black lines with white text popped up at the top of the screen.  Last line says _fetchBorrowedList:881 number of borrowed blocks 16.  It is stuck at this point and will do nothing.  Tried another hard reset and the same thing happened.  Any Ideas??

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the screen replaced if that's available in your area ($149) or get the phone replaced if it's not or if the damage is more extensive ($269).

  • How can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it into the computer or restoring it or resetting any data?

    I went I to my phone and I tried to unlock my passcode but it did not let me in, how can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it onto the computer on iTunes, or restoring it or deleting any data ?

    You don't. The only way to remove the passcode if forgotten is to restore the device. If you have a backup, you can restore to that last backup, but anything done since that last backup would be lost.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
    connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

    How can I sincronize an Ipad and an Iphone without a computer?

    Can you sync content from one device to the other device without a computer, no you can't in the sense that you are thinking.
    If you are using iCloud, you can use automatic downloads to keep purchased apps, songs and books in sync and you can also sync documents (with some apps) contacts, calendars, and notes.

  • Need to do a hard reset on an iphone 4 but cant access apple id account and cant get reset to email address as it has been closed.

    cant finish a hard reset on iphone 4, i cant access my apple account as i forgot the password and cant get a reset sent to the email address i had as thats been deleted, does anyone have any ideas?  i still have the box the iphone4 came in so i do have the serial no. 

    Going to Apple is pointless. They will not do anything to help. Activation lock is an anti-theft feature.
    If the seller "forgot" the pasword for her Apple ID, then she needs to re-set it so that it can be used to unlock the phone. If she says she can't for some reason, demand your money back. If she refuses, I stand by the statement that the phone is most likely stolen.
    The phone is completely useless without the Apple ID and password.

  • My Ipad3 is very slow after installing 8.02 and needs a hard reset every 2 minutes.

    Hello Community,
    I had a wonderful running Ipad3 32gb running on IOS7, now after installing IOS8.02 this device is slow (e.g. Safari) and needs a restart (hard reset) every to minutes because it freezed up. I´m quite unhappy. I tried to stop processes and have a enough free space on the disk. Nothing helped.
    I can´t imagine that you beta-tested IOS8 on the IPAD3?
    Any solution by Apple?

    (A) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (B) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
