How can I factory reset my phone without booting the phone?
Asked: 4646 Views 12 Answers View Best AnswerI have a Z10 that is stuck at "Finalizing device setup". The funny (or not) thing is, I wasn't setting the device up. It was working just fine and I think it installed an update last week. It worked fine after that until yesterday when it started to reboot itself and refused to boot up. Now I see the blue ring with the BB logo in the middle and the words "Finalizing device setup" at the bottom. So I'm stuck with this:
- the device won't boot
- the BB software on my Mac won't see the device
- pulling the battery doesn't work
- a different battery doesn't work
Is there a way to reset to factory settings without booting the phone?
