The main drawback of this is that it erases everything and puts the phone back to factory settings. All installed apps and personal data will be gone. If you can stand to lose everything do this: 1. Be sure to have full charge on your battery 2. Hopefully you have backed up all data on your PC. 3. Power off the Motorola Q 4. Power on the Motorola Q while pressing and holding center button and power button. 5. Keep holding until you get a "Master Reset?" screen. 6. Click the left softkey for "Yes" and the phone will wipe and reload the OS from ROM BE SURE NOT TO REMOVE THE BATTERY WHEN YOU DO THIS or you may brick your phone.
