How To Reset G1 – Wipe Corrupted T-Mobile HTC G1 Phone – Easily Restore To Factory

Click Here for More Info: Need to wipe your G1 because the phone is corrupted or frozen, eg, your G1 keeps rebooting over and over again without getting to the desktop/home page? Are you a non-geek/newbie and not sure how your phone got messed up? Ready to sell your soul to Satan to get out of your predicament and able to use your G1, again? Have your friends asked “Why are you carrying that brick?” or “What are you pounding on the table and why are you swearing at it?” Is your G1 so clogged up that it’s time to soak it in Liquid Drano? Well help has arrived. Here is how you do a factory wipe or hard reset. (Note: this procedure assumes you can’t get to the G1’s reset “button” located in the Android OS settings menu and you DO NOT know what the terms “jailbreak” or “root” mean.) Update: This tutorial is for non-rooted phones. The hard reset (or wipe) will put your phone back to the way it was when you first opened the box. Inside Information: THIS IS THE “SECRET” PROCEDURE T-MOBILE TECH SUPPORT HAS NON-GEEK CONSUMERS GO THROUGH AS A LAST RESORT WHEN THE G1 CANNOT RECOVER FROM A CRASH. (This is done before the CSR says to send the phone back for a replacement.) Sidenote: Don’t feel bad, these phones do a lot nowadays, they crash often and need to be reset. And sometimes the phone will freeze and refuse to reboot. This procedure should save your butt. My video covers both hard and soft resets. WARNING: The hard reset procedure erases all third party applications you

    Does the method of hard resetting the phone that you’ve SHOWN give the same results as going into the factory reset options on the phone in the menu itself? My phone works okay, but after almost 2 years of using it, it’s just… bogged down with floating stuff, apps, etc etc. I want to hard reset it just like formatting a computer to see if it’ll just run smoother again. Do these two options achieve the same result?

    Dude! I thought I had bricked my Hero, and I´ve searched for help. I found a way to get another menu I had no idea about through your guide, it´s a little bit different though (just a touchscreen and a few buttons, no keyboard on this one).This is what I did: Press [HOME]+[POWER] and wait for the animation with a phone and a red warning sign, then press [VOL UP]+[POWER], there you have another menu with more options. Now I shall try these out. Peace!

    A hard reset simply is restoring the OS that is on the phone’s internal chip (ROM).

    If you have a rooted G1, a hard reset will re-install the OS that’s on the ROM.

    E.g., if you rooted the G1 or bought it rooted AND there’s a custom ROM on the phone, a hard reset will simply “reinstall” that custom ROM.

    A hard reset on the G1 is the same in concept as reformatting your computer’s hard drive and installing whatever OS you have, such as XP, Service Pack 1.
