how do i do a factory reset on my iphone 4?

I use Rescue and Recovery for my backups.
Do you have Lenovo ONEKEY recovery program (OKR) installed on your system from the factory install?
If so, what version? 8.0?
There is limited documentation around about OKR. A Google/Bing search of "onekey recovery documentation will provide some items to view.
You state: recovery discs on DVD are not an option. .. Does this mean you do not have a DVD burner?
I will post 3 INFORMATIONAL links. One describes OKR 6.0, with a create recovery media on DVD or USB.
It is my understanding, which may be wrong, Lenovo does not ship recovery discs for systems with OKR. You must take the machine to a Lenovo shop to get HDD reset.

HT201263 I did a factory reset on my iPhone and it won't restore from the apple logo, HELP!!!!

DId a factory resent on my iPhone and it now won't restore itself from the apple logo even when I hold down the "on" button and the "home" button together

Next time, remember to first turn iMessage & FaceTime off, delete the iCloud account, then restore/reset the phone. To fix, if you setup a support profile with Apple, you can login to your support profile & remove the phone. If not, change your Apple ID password.

What is the factory set passcode for iPhone 4s?

Hi Everyone. As far as I know, I have never set a passcode on my iPhone 4s.
I do have a passcode for when my phone goes to sleep, but when I go to Settings/General/Restrictions, my passcode does not work. I always get the Try Again in 60 Minutes message.
Any hints?
Is there a factory preset passcode that I need to know about?
Thanks in advance.

There is no factory set passcode.
The restrictions code can be different than the home screen passcode.
If you forgot the restrictions code per iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) you will need to perform a factory restore: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
If you forget the home screen passcode: iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

No, you can't. If the device is in Activation Lock, you MUST use the Apple ID that was used to enable the Activation Lock.

Factory reset - the what, why, and how for Gingerbread

I wanted to share this information regarding a Factory Reset and how it is used for Gingerbread - both the what, why, and how - in case anyone is interested in the details. If you embark on this process, this thread is worth a close read. thanks to d.harris for writing this up for the SOAK group. good luck everyone and remember, YMMV.
First, what does a "factory reset" do? The short answer is: it will return your phone to the condition it was in when you first purchased it EXCEPT the Android version will match your phone's latest update. For example, I had Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) on my phone before the "soak". My phone was updated to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread or "GB") during the "soak". I had some trouble with video performance in the Fox News app and missing album cover art in the Google Music app. So I decided to do the factory reset. After the reset was finished, my Droid X still had Android 2.3.3 on it but all of the settings had been restored to their factory defaults. And presumably, all Android operating system (OS) caches had been flushed. All of the data that was stored in my phone's memory was cleared. So my contacts were all gone. And I had to reactivate my phone (*228 1) just like a new phone and reenter my Google account info.
Does a factory reset actually clear the entire contents of the phone's memory and re-install Android from scratch? (That's what I wish it did.) But I'm not sure that it does that because the entire process seems to go too fast for that. However, a factory reset does seem to do a better job of cleaning out the remnants of the previous OS (Froyo 2.2.1) than a standard "update" does. But that's not all.
The factory reset also clears all of the apps that were installed in the phone's memory. And it clears all of the app data that was installed in the phone's memory. So you will have to reinstall all of your apps from the Android Market (or wherever they came from). Normally, you do not have to pay for them again because the Android Market remembers your previous purchases as long as you register your phone with the same Google account.
However, the Android Market does not remember the free apps that you installed---so you should make a list of all your apps before you reset your phone so you won't forget the free ones. The reason I wrote "installed in the phone's memory" above is because a factory reset gives you a choice whether or not to clear your phone's micro SD memory card. If desired, it will leave it alone. So any apps or data will still be present on your card after the reset. However, your phone will not be aware of the apps on the memory card because all "knowledge" of them will have been erased from your phone's internal memory---you'll still have to reinstall ALL of your apps. But the data files will still be there. Regarding the "built-in" apps that come pre-installed with Android, they will also be restored to their original state and version when you do a factory reset. So you'll need to update some of them (like updating Google Maps and updating Adobe Flash from 10.1 to 10.3).
Before you do a factory reset, you should have a fully charged battery becaues you do NOT want to run out of power in the middle of a reset---that could "brick" your phone. I always take an extra precaution: in addition to a fully charged battery, I also connect my phone to AC with the Motorola AC-to-USB charging adapter that came with it. Not only does it insure that I won't run out of power, it also keeps my battery fully charged so I have a 100% charge after the factory reset (you'll have a lot of work to do afterward to reinstall your apps and restore all of your Android and app settings back to your preferences).
Here's a pre reset checklist:
• Export your contacts to your SD card so you can easily restore them later (Contacts/Dialer menu > Import/Export > Export contacts to: SD card).
• Make a list of all of the apps that you installed (Android menu > Manage Apps > Downloaded tab).
• Get a copy of your Google account login info (user name and password).
• Get a copy of your Verizon Backup Assistant PIN (if you use this service).
• Turn off your phone and pull its battery. Wait 30 seconds or more and reinstall the battery and turn the phone back on. This will make sure that there is nothing hinky in your phone's volatile memory as the factory reset begins.
• Fully charge your phone's battery and plug the AC charging adapter into the phone.
Now you're ready to do the deed. Follow these steps:
1. If it's not already on, turn on Google's "back up my data" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Back up my data. This is required for the next step.
2. Turn off the "automatic restore" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Automatic restore. This will prevent your phone from trying to download every paid app that was previously on your phone all at once. It is much better---especially if you have a lot of apps---to install them one at a time. Plus, you may not want some of them to be reinstalled right away if you are trying to determine if one of them is causing trouble under GB 2.3.3.
3 If you do not want to use Google's "back up my data" service to restore your wi-fi passwords and such, then return to Step 1 and turn it off.
4. Begin the factory reset with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. You'll be asked to confirm that you really want to do a factory reset and you'll be given the opportunity to clear your micro SD memory card as a part of the process. I chose not to clear my memory card because I have a 32 GB card with "tons" of music and other files that I do not want to have to restore (it would take hours).
When should you do a factory reset? Everyone should do it before they give their phone away, sell it, or discard it. You don't want someone else to have access to your personal data! And, a factory reset can be a helpful troubleshooting tool when faced with problems.
By the way, my factory reset did not help the video problem I was having with the Fox News app nor did it enable Google's Music app to find all of the album art on my micro SD card. Both problems persisted after the reset under GB 2.3.3.
Finally, there are other things you can do to flush old data from your phone such as clearing the cache partition of your phone's built-in memory. This requires the use of its "Android system recover" menu. Even though I expect this cache data to be cleared during a factory reset, I did it after my reset just to make sure. Clearing the cache partition is usually what folks try before a factory rest so they can (hopefully) avoid the factory reset. I'll leave it to a Motorola staff person to go into that.

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...

I've factory reset my iPhone twice, about to be three times. has anyone else had issues that force them to factory reset their phones.

So I got my iPhone 6 on the day it came out and it has been the most frustrating experience I've ever had with apple. I've had to factory reset my phone twice, probably about to be three times once i get home from work. The first time was trying to transfer my stuff from my old iPhone and right after it finished my iPhone 6 turned itself off then turned on to the boot up screen (the one with the apple logo) and then shut off then did the same thing. this forced my to factory reset my new iphone literally the day i got it. The next day i was trying to upload my music and basically the same thing happened again, forcing me to reset my phone for a second time. Just now (its been two weeks that I've owned my new phone)i tried to get on twitter and the app crashed then my phone reset itself and when it loaded to the unlock screen, instead of my background it was just a black screen with the time and the unlock slide. when i unlocked it, it went back to the normal background and the main screen. Because whenever i would turn off (not power off, but put it to sleep) the phone and turn it back on it would do the same thing. I decided to restart it (actually turn it completely off and then back on) and now it will show the boot up screen then turn off. I understand that there is the solution of factory resetting my iPhone, but 3 times in 2 weeks is pretty unacceptable, seeing as i had a 4s for almost 3 years and never once had to factory reset it and its also incredibly annoying to have to redownload all of my stuff. Has anyone else had this problem? is there anyway i can keep this from continuing to happen? is it a software issue or is it the phone itself that is messing up?

WiseJD, thank you for your suggestions. Well the first two restorations were the first and second day (9/19 and 9/20) that i had my 6 and both times i chose to restore is as new. since then there haven't been any issues until now. granted the first time my phone messed up was after i used the At&t transfer app which made me think it couldve been something that corrupted my device. the second time though started with me attempting to download music from the itunes store app on the phone. for whatever reason it would download but not but it wouldnt process and install the music. Then i tried to download it from my computer and thats when the second screw up occurred. that time i dont think it was an issue of my phone being corrupted because it was already acting strangely before i ever plugged it into my computer. This third time, i'm at work so i havent been able to do anything about it, i wasnt downloading anything and my phone was not hooked up to a computer, i simply tried to open twitter and then all this happened. and it has been a solid almost two weeks without incident which makes me think its my phone and not corrupt files. also looking at forums, not just these but other online, i haven't really seen anyone with the same problem which adds to my thought that its a problem with my phone.
Just to be clear, the first time this happened, the iphone would display the boot up screen then shut off then turn on and display the boot up screen, then shut of and kept going on like that until i put my iphone into recovery mode and factory reset it. the second time the iphone would display the boot up screen and then shut off, but wouldnt turn on unless i pressed the power button again. this third time is the same story. i dont know if this makes a difference or if its symptomatic of different problems but i figured it wouldnt hurt to explain in detail the issues that happened each separate time.
Also on a side note, i havent done anything like jailbreak it, mess with it download or any third party apps not on the app store.

Factory reset of iPhone 4

I know this is a very overdone topic of discussion, and I know there are plenty of Q&As out there right now regarding this, however I just want to see if I can get a straight answer from someone who knows their stuff.
My iPhone 4 has just tonight decided to stick itself in recovery mode and not turn on. I finally tried a bunch of random things, and ended up settling on doing the required factory reset of my iPhone 4 so I could actually use it again.
I always have (I THOUGHT, at least) backed up my phone when syncing it to my computer. However, now it won't back up. Therefore I've lost my photos, videos, contacts, messages, apps, etc. I keep trying to back it up using iCloud, and my computer, and nothing seems to be working. I'm trying not to be like a sooky electronically over-attached female, but it's difficult when I've had this phone for so long and now seem to have lost EVERYTHING.
Can anyone help me with this, or am I basically SOL?

Open iTunes Preferences:
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click Devices (the iOS device doesn't need to be connected).
iTunes will show the phone number, IMEI, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup (iTunes shows only the serial number for iPad and iPod touch).

Factory reset - will sim work

This may be a silly question but if I do a factory reset of my iphone 3g will my O2 sim work automatically or will I need to important any settings?
Mark

If its an original O2 iPhone it'll be fine - it may take a short while for the data settings to arrive from O2 but otherwise it'll be fine.

Will a factory reset remove my carrier information?

Like I said in the title, I'm needing to do a factory reset on my iPhone 4s, and I'm need to know if it'll remove my carrier settings (my own number) so I'm not without a phone for any longer than I need to be. I am currently running iOS 7.

Carrier settings and account information are stored on the SIM card.
Nothing on the SIM is touched during a restore.

I CANNOT CHARGE BATTERY AFTER factory RESET

I USED THE FACTORY RESET. THE IPHON NOW SHOWS JUST THE APPLE LOGO. IF I PRESS THE POWER OFF AND THE HOME BUTTONS FOR A FEW SECONDS THE SCREEN BLANKS OUT AND THEN THE BATTER SHOWS RED. I CONNECT THE CHARGER BUT NO HELP, ALL I GET IS THE AP[PLE LOGO

Oh my dec_a21! I definitely understand you need your pictures back. Did you use Verizon Cloud or any other backup application? If so, you may be able to retrieve them. Let us know so we can provide steps, if you backed it up.

My location widget gone after doing factory reset

I'm using a nokia 808 phone and after doing a factory reset the my location widget is gone. Is there any standalone installer for this? this is my first reset of my phone since I bought it..

Hi,
What kind of factory reset have you done? Is it the soft reset or the hard reset, the hard reset deletes all the data of your phone.
Try to add a widget by tapping and holding an empty area of the home screen, then select Add widget and the search widget from the list.
If the widget is still not there, try to reinstall the software version of the phone via Nokia Suite. To do that, you just need to install Nokia Suite. To download, click Here. To reinstall your software version, follow the instructions below:
1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB.
2. On your phone select Nokia Suite for connection mode.
3. On your PC, launch Nokia Suite, go to Tools > Software update > Reinstall software version.
After that, recheck if the location widget is there already.
Hope this solution helps.

The iPhone has a feature called "Activation Lock" described here:

Without that Apple ID, you will not be able to use that iPhone.
