How to reset or factory restore HTC Desire HD2 device?
To reset or factory restore an HTC Desire HD2, there are several methods you can use. Here are the most common and recommended methods:
1. Bootloader recovery:
This method involves booting your device into the bootloader recovery mode and then selecting the option to execute a custom recovery. You will need to download the custom recovery image file from the internet and then load it onto your computer. Once you have the file, you can then use the "fastboot flash recovery" command to load the custom recovery image onto your device. After the custom recovery is loaded, you can then use the recovery to factory reset your device.
To enter bootloader recovery mode on an HTC Desire HD2, follow these steps:
a. Turn off your device.
b. Press and hold the Volume-down button and the Power button at the same time until the bootloader menu appears.
c. Use the Volume buttons to navigate through the menu and select "Recovery".
2. Custom recovery:
If you don't want to use the bootloader recovery, you can use a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM. These custom recoveries are designed to be more user-friendly and offer more features than the bootloader recovery. To download and install a custom recovery, you will need to root your device and then download the custom recovery image file from the internet.
To install a custom recovery on an HTC Desire HD2, follow these steps:
a. Download and install the SuperSU rooting app onto your device.
b. Install a custom recovery manager app such as Flashify plug-in.
c. Open the custom recovery manager app and select the "Install Custom Recovery Image" option.
d. Navigate to the location where you stored the custom recovery image file, select it and then swipe to install.
3. Factory data reset:
A factory data reset will erase all data and user settings on your device and bring it back to its original state. To perform a factory data reset, go to Settings > Backup and Reset > Factory Data Reset. This will delete all of the data on your device, so make sure you back up important information before performing a factory data reset.
