After tweaking your HTC One, if something went wrong or it became unresponsive or sluggish, or arose a persistent problem that cannot be solved, a factory reset (also called hard reset or master reset) is your only choice. A factory reset reverts the phone back to its initial state, so most problems should be solved.

HTC One can be factory reset either by going to phone settings menu or by using hardware buttons. Hardware buttons are used if you cannot turn on HTC One or can’t access the settings menu.

Important: When you factory resetting your phone, all your saved bookmarks, installed apps, Wi-Fi passwords and all other settings will also be lost. So don’t forget to back up all these data before factory resetting.
