Sometimes it's really painful when your device starts
malfunctioning and the last resort is to reset the
Phone. Some People Don't Know How to do that so I decided to share this.
Be careful. Resetting your phone will
erase all content stored on your phone,
including apps and games (along with
app data and game progress), text
messages, call history, music, photos
and more.
Windows Phones
To reset your phone
1. In the App list , tap Settings .
2. Tap About , then tap Reset your phone .
3. You'll receive two warnings. If you're
absolutely sure you want to restore
your phone to its factory settings, tap
Yes, then tap Yes again.
It might take a little while for the
process to complete.
To reset an unresponsive phone:
If your phone is unresponsive and you
can't reach Settings , you may be
able to reset your phone using the
hardware buttons. On Nokia Lumia
phones (and some others), do the
following to reset your phone:
1. Press and hold the Volume down
and Power buttons at the same time until you feel a vibration (about 10-15 seconds).
2. When you feel the vibration,
immediately press and hold the Volume
down button until you see a large
exclamation mark.
3. Once the exclamation mark appears,
press the following four buttons in this
order: Volume up , Volume down, Power , Volume down .
Your phone should now reset and
restart itself. (It might take a while for
the reset to finish.)
Android Phones
Each Phone Has It's restore method. The one that works for most phones.
Turn off the phone.
Hold the volume up button and power button at the
same time.
You'll See An Android Logo
Tap Any Of The Buttons On Your Phone To Reveal A
Secret Menu
Scroll Down To clear data/reset or clear eemcc (this might vary depending on the type of phone) and select it (try using volume up to select if it fails use the home key)
Scroll down to yes and select it.
It might take some time though
Your Phone Should Now Be Restored.
iPhone
Go to "Settings" Select "General"
Scroll down to select "Reset". Here you will have various options, the main ones being:
Reset All Settings
Reset Network Settings
Erase All content and Settings
Selecting " Erase All Content and
Settings" is what constitutes a Hard
Reset. Your phone will ask you to
enter your passcode, and will then ask
to confirm.
BlackBerry
There are 3 main ways to do this
Method 1 (BlackBerry Z10 and the likes of it)
Remove the battery from the
phone.You can perform a hard reset on the
BlackBerry Z10 by pressing and holding the Power
button on the top of the phone for about 10 seconds.
Reinsert the battery after a few seconds. To be on
the safe side, wait for up to 30
seconds and then reinsert the battery into the back
of the phone.
Close the battery cover. The BlackBerry
should reboot and function normally. You
may have to power the BlackBerry back on with the
Power button.
Method 2
Hold down these Keys in this order
Alt, Right Shift Key, Delete/Back Space
Method 3
Open the Options on your home screen.
Performing a full factory reset, or security wipe, will
remove all of your personal info and reset the phone
to the state it was in when it was first turned on.
Select Security Settings. In the Security
Settings menu, select Security Wipe
Choose what you want erased. Check the boxes for each of the items that you want wiped from the phone. If you want to completely erase your information, ensure that all of the boxes
are checked.
Enter the code. To perform the wipe, you
will need to enter the code. Type
“blackberry” into the box and then select Wipe.
Wait for the phone to reboot

Please how do you flash this one. iPhone 4 without lossing your data.

Well, I must say that you might lose some data. It's no use trying to use a spoilt phone.

Try this


Press and hold the Home button (big circle
below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake
button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.

Continue holding both buttons until the
iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This
will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
Assuming your iDevice isn't totally crashed
and unresponsive, you will be offered the
ability to power off at this point. If you take
that option, remember to turn your phone
back on when you are done. Alternatively,
you can ignore the power off request and
continue holding continue following the
steps below.

You may let go when you see the silver
Apple logo.

If it takes too long to boot just wait. It's normal after a reset

Sorry about that.. Hun... You May loose some data it's worth the risk.. You'll have to move your files to a pc or upload it to dropbox.


Then

From the home screen, swipe down from
the top of the screen.
2. Tap Settings, and then tap Security and
Privacy .
3. Tap Security Wipe , then enter
" BlackBerry " in the box provided and tap
Delete Data .
4. The device will now be reset back to
factory settings.
