RESTORING THE XOLO Q800
You might have noticed that this model comes with a battery that can be easily removed. This means that before moving on with the procedure, you might want to try performing a soft reset first. This could be the best solution for apps that froze and a slow-working phone. However, if you’ve experienced errors and severe problems, you should move on to the second method.
The soft or warm version of the reset can be done by turning the device off. You should then remove its battery and wait for a minute or two before re-inserting it. Turn the phone back on using the Power key and wait for it to restart.
The second option will use the hard reset keys and is especially suitable for a phone that does not respond to any commands – a frozen display and no reaction to most keys on the keyboard are a clear sign of this. Please do the following in this situation:
- Power the phone off and repeat the same steps as before – take the battery out and place it back in.
- Press the Power and Volume Up keys and hold until you see the Recovery Menu.
- Use the Volume Down button to select Wipe Data or Factory Data Reset and press the Power key to move on.
- Select Yes in the same way, and then tap the Power button to get started.
Please make sure you follow additional instructions on the screen and read all warnings that might pop up. Also, bear in mind that this will erase all user data, which is why it is solely your responsibility to save it beforehand.
