OK guys today I will be showing you how to hard reset HTC Desire 626s for Metro Pcs or T-mobile.This has got to be one of the longest and most confusing hard resets on any device I have ever seen. It’s not easy to figure out especially if you have attempted a Hard reset in the past. So if you have this device and just can’t reset it then follow these instructions below and you should be able to figure it out.
Before you Begin
Before getting started be warned that doing a Hard reset will erase all user data on your phone and returning it to factory condition or just as you got it the first day you removed it from the box. If you can its a good idea to backup your data before attempting this process.Also note this process is a bit difficult so you may have to attempt it a few times before seeing success.
Why Hard Reset?
Hard resetting a device can be done under several conditions. Maybe you are about to sell your device and want to erase it or there is a issue with the device and the only way to correct it is with a hard rest to get it working again. Hard resetting can sometimes fix issues such as stuck on boot logo,correct errors or problems you are having within the mobile operating system after using the phone for a long while and much more.
It can even be used in more popular cases where you forgot your password, pattern lock or you simply got locked out after too many pattern attempts for some reason.
