HTC Freestyle hard reset
Factory resettingNeed to start over? If you’re passing your phone on to someone else or just want a fresh start, you can factory reset your phone. It’s not a step to be taken lightly. Factory resetting your phone will delete all your data. It returns the phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on.
Be sure to back up data (contacts and files) that you want to keep before you factory reset your phone.
