How to do a hard reset:

How to reset the Huawei Ascend using the buttons:

First remove battery for a few minutes and then put it back in.


Then at the same time hold the following:

volume up, call button and power button (hold until it vibrates)

When it asks for permissions select:

select wipe data/ factory to reset

That's it!
 
Nothing happened at all. No vibration, zip. Had alrady taken out battery earlier, and the lights just flash on and off, on and off. Followed instructions above, beginning with again removing the battery, waiting, and pushing the three buttons together but ... nothing. Now screem is black after flashing for like ten mnutes. What is wrong here?! Haven't delted anything today, worked fine until I bought a new charger yesterday. It acts like it charged it but ???

This worked out good for me. All i had to do is take out my battery for 3 minutes and then press the volume up ; call button ; and power button! then click ; Select wipe data / factory to reset & then click reboot phone now.

The only bad thing about it was that i lost all my contacts , and messages , and calls . :(

But i'm glad that i have my phone working again . i missed it the 30 minutes i didnt know what to do. :D

I did this, and it worked! BUT, now I'm stuck at the "Tap me to begib" "welcome to m860" screen. It won't let me tap it :( I can only use the scroll ball. HELP!
