Factory reset a phone remotely?

joelneils · ‎12-11-2007

Is it possible to factory reset a phone remotely - via XML / or another utility?

One option is to use the Phone Remote tool which can be found here:

This will allow you to take control of a phone and enter the key sequence required to do a factory reset as detailed in this link:

Hope this helps. If so, please rate the post.

How does that work? Does it need to be installed on the CCM server or can I run it on my desktop? I can not find any documentation.

You can run it from your desktop.

Hi Brandon,

Would remote control work for a reset sequence? It is done a boot time before network connectivity is established, so I doubt it would work. But, I haven't tried myself.

It would not work for the reset sequence done at boot, but it would work to use Erase Configuration in the Settings menu.
