This process will delete all user data and apps that were installed, so make sure you absolutely need to take this step before you do it. Once reset, all saved contacts and phone numbers will be deleted and you will have to enter them all in again.

Before flashing, make sure that you have backed up all your phone data, such as ring tones, contacts, images and music, as it may get deleted.
