The ZTE Origin – Continuous reboot fix when all else fails...
-- The ZTE Origin I received in January when I started my service will not boot. Apparently it is a known concern. It only gets as far into the boot-up as the a Android icon then repeats. I have tried removing the battery - still will not boot. Is there a fix?
-- The assumption is that there is no physical damage to the phone.
-- In this case it will be necessary to perform a factory reset or hard reset.
**** All of your phone information phone numbers, address book, added apps, from the time you first started your phone will be deleted. So you best have backup! ***
-- To start this fix process you will need you to: Press the "power button and the volume down button at the same time" and hold both for 10 seconds (until the Android icon with an exclamation icon appears)
-- Then tap the "home" icon at the bottom of the screen
-- Use the up/down button and choose the option "wipe data/factory reset"
-- Use the volume button for up/down menu selection.
-- Tap the icon with 3 lines next to the house and use the up/down button to select "yes-delete all user data"
-- On the list you may see several ‘No’s’ Select 'yes delete all data'
-- Then tap the icon that says "reboot system now".
-- For simplicity and to get the phone up and running skip the Google part for now if it comes up.
