How to reinitialize my ARCHOS Core 50 4G?


  This process is recommended for your device if : it is frozen, it doesn’t turn on or you are experiencing a software issue. It will allow you to perform a low level format on your device. Thus all the data will be deleted, you won't be able to retrieve them. We strongly recommend to back them up first. Keep in mind that your device’s battery must be charged enough to perform this operation.

  • Since Android™ 5.0, your device is linked to your Google™ account. If you reset your device from the recovery menu (method 2), YOU WILL HAVE TO SET THE SAME GOOGLE™ ACCOUNT YOU FILLED IN BEFORE RESETTING THE DEVICE.
  • If you reset your device in order to resell it, please use the method 1 OR use the method 2 but delete your Google account first from the Settings app.
