How to reset the Samsung Focus S to Factory Settings

Advisory: A master reset reverts the devices settings back to their factory defaults. It will permanently erase all personal data, apps, and media content like pictures, music, and video. Backing up important data to a computer is recommended before proceeding.

Instructions:

  1. NOTE: As an alternate method, while the device is off, hold down the Power/Camera/Down Volume keys simultaneously until a triangle displays. Follow the onscreen instructions to format the device.
