2. Unlock the display.

Resetting HTC EVO 3D

Do a factory reset to return HTC EVO 3D to its original state before the first time you
turned it on.
If you're passing HTC EVO 3D on to someone else or HTC EVO 3D has a persistent
problem that cannot be solved, you can perform a factory reset (also called a hard
reset). Factory reset is not a step to be taken lightly. It'll permanently delete all your
data and customized settings, and will remove any applications you've downloaded
and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a
factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the settings.
1. From the Home screen, press
2. Tap SD & phone storage > Factory data reset.
3. Tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using hardware buttons

reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC EVO 3D.

2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER
button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release
the VOLUME DOWN button.

button.
