HTC Legend hard reset

Before you buy a new cell phone or new tablet, please try the following
procedure to repair your device. First charge your battery, backup your
important data if possible and in most cases take out SIM and SD card
before factory reset. It is impossible to recover your data after doing a
hard reset, so online backup is always important. For all of your data,
a backup should be done on an external device, hard drive, raid system
or media. With or without insurance, if your cell phone lost, damaged or
stolen at least your invaluable data is backed up in a safe place. If
you are about to sell your phone and you want to wipe your personal
data, or if your phone affected with virus you have to do a hard reset.
In some cases, you can delete the forgotten password or lock pattern
from your device as well. All information is for devices with stock
based ROMs. If you are using rooted device, always back up your EFS
folder first, containing your IMEI info, etc.!

Performing a hard/factory reset
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is alsocalled a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep.
If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft” reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After
re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
