How do I reset my iPhone to factory settings without iTunes or computer?
There are so many good tutorials and help pages about how to reset your iPhone if there is no computer available (for instance, due to a factory brick) but I can't find one that tells you how to do this on a Mac. Most of the ones I've found are for Windows or use Windows tools.
What I'd like to know is, can you do it with Mac without the aid of iTunes and/or a computer (only an iPhone)! I know there are a lot of tools available for Apple computers but this is not an Apple Computer (and if it was I wouldn't want an iPhone or iPod Touch because they are more expensive than anything Apple makes). In your Mac OS X find the below paths: /private/var/db/recovery.lkr /private/var/db/recovery.mkext Delete these, and your iPhone will reset to factory settings.
How do I force my iPhone to factory reset with buttons?
You can force the factory reset on your iPhone, by holding down the Power and Home buttons at the same time for ten seconds.
You can also do a forced restart from the Apple menu by holding down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo.
There is no official way of doing so. But you can always try to use iTunes to do it for you.
Select the iPhone from the library and click the option "Erase All Content and Settings" and then click the start button and wait until it finishes.
