Hard Reset - DROID RAZR M by MOTOROLA


Performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications. Only perform this reset if absolutely necessary.
Pictures, Videos and Music will also be removed. It is recommended to backup this data unless willing to lose it.

Note: Personal data such as WiFi passwords, Browser bookmarks, User dictionary, a list of installed Market applications and other customized settings can be backed-up and restored by Google's servers.
