DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HARD RESET AND SOFT RESET.
People... you are confusing reset with
reboot terminology.
The reason for the word HARD is because
hardware buttons or battery is used.
The reason for the word SOFT is because
software (the ROM, firmware, settings) is
used.
Resets wipe all data to clear bugs.
Rebooted justs reboot the phone. Same
computer terminology just apply it to
smart phones....
Soft reboot/boot - power off phone with
power key
Hard reboot/boot - remove battery while
phone is on. Can't do this with RAZR so
just hit power key + volume down key to
simulate a battery pull.
Soft master reset - settings - privacy -
factory reset
Hard master reset - power off phone - turn
on phone - hold volume down and power
key as phone turns on - enter fast boot
mode - use volume down key to select
recovery mode - android image appears
hit bottom right corner for menu - scroll
down to factory reset / wipe option.
- hit OK - hit yes Android RAZR resets itself
to factory - when done it will prompt you to reboot - hit reboot system now. ....
bam that's a DROID RAZR hard master reset.....
it should only be done of you cannot
access settings in the stock ROM or custom ROM!!!!!!!
