The Nokia X5 TD-SCDMA device, also known as Nokia Lumia 630, has several methods to reset or factory restore it. The most common and recommended ways include using the recovery menu, using a PC or a compatible device for backup and restore, and using the hard reset procedure.
1. Using the recovery menu:
Set your Nokia X5 TD-SCDMA to charge mode by connecting it to a charger for at least 20 seconds.

Make sure that you have the "Nokia Lumia 630" update for the T2425 firmware version or lower. Go to Settings > Backup and Sync > Recover phone from a computer. Connect your device with a USB cable and select the PC from the "Backup settings" section. Follow the backup instructions provided on the screen. Once the backup is complete, select "Restore from computer" and follow the steps to restore your device. Note that you may want to obtain a back up of your data from the cloud or an external drive before starting the backup process.
3. Using the hard reset procedure:
This method should only be attempted as a last resort and requires a physical connection to your device. Set your device to charge mode using a charger, and ensure that the device has at least 20% battery charge remaining.
