Issues rooting and Downgrading. Factory Reset Status 2.

I got my LG G3 yesterday night and I tried rooting it for hours, I was on Andrioid 5.0.1 and couldn't get it to work after 6 hours of trying so this morning I tried to downgrade back to stock firmware and now everytime I try I get the Factory Reset Status 2 screen and I am told to just remove the battery and it'll boot but nope it just goes back to the same screen. This is becoming a nightmare I have tried multiple PC's Operating Systems, drivers, firmware files, and multiple tutorials and I cannot fix this.

I think the issue is when the phone reboots instead of being a COM port it becomes a MTP device so LG Flash Tool can't find the device.

I really need help, I didn't plan on spending the whole day trying to fix this but it seems I am going to have to.

Does hard factory reset on rooted OF3 lose root?

Does it?

Moto G XT1032 Black screen, can't reset

I was playing a game I've been playing for at least one week, when my screen suddenly went black. Pressing power wouldn't help. I had this happened once and did the "press power+vol down for 10 seconds" to reset the device, but now it didn't work. I've been looking around to see what to do, and nothing is working.

Pressing power for 120 seconds (as motorola's site suggests) didn't work.
I tried adb reboot but I got "device not found."

Code:

---

fastboot devices

---

showed it, though, so...
I tried

Code:

---

fastboot reboot

---

and I got "rebooting... finished." But nothing happened on the phone.
So I tried

Code:

---

fastboot reboot-bootloader

---

and now it's "waiting for device" and

Code:

---

fastboot devices

---

reports nothing.

When I press the power button for 10-15 seconds I get a vibration, but that's about it. If I press it along with vol down I get nothing, but windows reports it as an unknown device when the 10 seconds pass (as if it restarted).

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't have any backup device or anything u_u"

Zenfone 2 factory reset and backup question.

I just started a factory reset on my phone after doing a full Asus backup to fix the battery life issue, then while it was rebooting to start the erasing process, I realized that I haven't backed up my photos or files.

It booted up, started to erase, I just held the power button to shut it off. Tried rebooting again, or booting into recovery mode, but it just boots to "erasing" every time. So I have these questions:

1. Does the factory reset in the Zenfone 2 (the one in setting sunder backup and reset) clear the contents of internal sd and erase all files?
I remember I took it to get repaired and they told me to save all the files because they will do a factory reset and that will erase everything, but I'm not sure if it's their special reset or just the normal one in the settings.

2. If yes, does the Asus backup save files or photos? Or just apps?

3. If no for 2, then can I somehow interrupt the erasing process or connect to the phone with ADB without booting into the erasing process and save my files?

Thank you very much for your help!

Bricked G3 stuck at "Factory Reset Status"

When using LG Flash Tool to flash a .tot file, everything went smooth till it boots MiniOS and Shows the blue screen "Factory Reset Status"

Now I can't seem to get beyond this level

I check that it's COM41, using the original cable, plugged to a USB 2.0 port, rebooted PC, etc, but it's stuck at "Waiting For connection when trying again".

Can anyone help me boot successfully?

WiFi not working after factory reset and flashing stock (Flashed modem to PDA)

I accidentally flashed a lollipop modem file to pda instead of to cp. I was installing the lollipop bootloader/modem to my kitkat phone in order to update to xtrestolite.
I am running a SM-G900I.

After the flash my WiFi no longer works. Everything else was fine, although sometimes there was crashes or something else wrong with a rom, but I assume that's unrelated.

Since then, I have flashed probably over 50 times. Multiple kernels, multiple different roms. I have done complete erase, factory erase, custom erase all in recovery, etc. I have now flashed a stock rom with odin... yes full including recovery, modem, non-hslo.bin, etc. after a full erase. After installing it WiFi still not working. unfortunately even after factory reset again.

not sure what to do lol

Please help Reset my note 5

I installed the noble kernal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...sting-t3183877
but when I did it did something to my t-mobile service and now I can't get calls or data service at all.
I understand that the warranty is now void, and I can live with that, but I need someone's help in correcting my mistake and help me get my service back!

Hard reset with a broken LCD screen?

Is there any way to do a hard reset with a broken LCD screen?

I accidentally dropped my phone on it's side and the LCD cracked in three places. It is completely black now. I got the device replaced via warranty and I have to ship this one back, but I want to do a hard reset to erase all my information. Are there any procedures involving a PC that would allow me to do a factory reset?

Any input would be greatly appreciated..

Thank you,

Chris

Nexus 6 factory reset

Phone stuck in TWRP, can't access download mode after factory reset

Hello all,
My Samsung Galaxy Note II is stuck in TWRP 2.8.7 after I did a factory reset.

I initially followed this guide (wiki dot cyanogenmod dot org/w/Install_CM_for_t0lte) to install CM, which worked fine. I ran into a slight issue and decided I'd try to flash again as it was pretty easy. Turned out to be a mistake as I can't seem to do anything right now and am stuck in TWRP. Every combination of button and reboots I try just bring me back into TWRP. Plugging the phone in the computer recharges the battery, but the computer (running Windows 7) does not recognize the phone. ADB doesn't detect any device.

I tried a few times to reinstall the roms, to no avail as I was unable to boot into anything else than recovery. I then followed some guide and accidentally wiped the roms from the phone. As stated above, I can't access the phone through ADB so I am unable to push them back on the phone.

Please help, I would be immensely grateful. Thanks to all in advance.

Stuck on "erasing" during factory reset, can't boot into recovery.

So I decided to do a factory reset, erase all data. During the process, it got stuck on "erasing". Left it overnight, for NINE HOURS, still stuck.

I can boot into fastboot mode, but I CAN'T GO INTO RECOVERY MODE. When I select "recovery mode" (by choosing the option with volume keys and then selecting with power button), it just boots back into the "erasing" dialog.

I've installed the driver from Intel, but I can't get ADB to recognize my device. Does it have to be in recovery mode to recognize the device, or should it recognize in just fastboot mode?

Kind of at a loss here. Honestly, this kind of sounds like the dreaded Nexus 7 brick problem from earlier this year.

P.S. am I using the correct vocabulary here? Fastboot is the menu where you choose the boot method, and recovery mode is where you can choose to restore to factory settings or flash a new image?

Wifi drops, must be reset?

Hi,

I have a problem with Wifi on my Air 3G C5J6.
Sometimes my wifi drops, and I have to right-click on Wifi and Diagnose. Then it will perform a reset for the Wifi and it connects and works again.

This happens more when I have bluetooth connected to my bluetooth-speaker. But it also happens even if it is only Wifi connected.

Does anybody else have these problems?

Thank you!

Chinese double din can't factory reset

I've had this head unit for a while now, today all of the icons have gone blank and the screen looks a little pixelated, and the device runs very slow. This happened after attempting a root. I tried to get into the settings and do a factory reset, but its asking for a pin or a code (numbers only) and I was never supplied with one. I'm not sure if this is common with Chinese Android devices or not. I also tried to reboot into recovery mode, I tried pretty much every combination of buttons while using both the power button (which ks also the home button) and using the restart pin hole button, nothing seems to work.

Looking for suggestions and advice.

Thanks!

How to reset Samsung Account

Long story short, phone is locked, guy forgot his password, wife in her infinite wisdom bought it thinking I could just wipe it and replace my M8.

It was originally on OF4 but I couldn't find the .tar files, so I tried flashing OF3 with Odin, and it still says that it's locked. I've also checked off on 'Nand Erase All' and to no avail.

How can I get this phone to work?

HTC M8s - Need help fixing my phone (Can't factory reset or install updates)

Hello (hopefully) friendly xda users,

I will try and be as detailed in the post as I can to make both your lives and mine as painless as possible! :)

So, last week I bought a brand new HTC M8s from the shop. I live in the UK, however I bought the phone in Germany because it was cheaper over there. The phone is unlocked (I didn't buy it on contract, I bought it outright). The phone is on EE, here in the UK (not sure if you need to know that but I'm being detailed).

My previous phone was an IPhone 4 (I know... sorry!) which I’ve had for over 5 years, I bought it at launch back then and haven’t had a new phone since. I'm no longer an Apple user, and have gladly come to the realisation that Apple isn't all that; I feel I can say that here and not get in trouble. :p I've had my eye on the HTC M8 for a while and finely to the plunge; and just bought it.
I had read that you could put a sort of stock google android (Google Play Edition) on the HTC M8, and that is what I had decided on doing. Straight out of the box. I know, all this is throwing up red flags all over the place; new to android, previous apple user, etc. but I ignored those and said to myself "I've jailbroken before, how hard can this rooting business really be". (Boy was I wrong!)

To cut an even longer story short, it all went tits up!

Sorry for all this preamble but I felt it was needed to help give some backroad info on the situation and help you better help me.
So this is how far I got:
I unlocked my bootloader.
My phone is not S-off. (No matter what guide I tried I couldn't get it S-off, I don't know; this could have been the problem.)

This is the sad part of the story:
The next step in the guide was to flash the recovery with a custom one. In the case TWRP.
I copied it all over and then hit recovery. Nothing. My phone just shuts down. "Crap! That's it I killed it." I think.
Anyway, I hard reset my phone and it starts up normally into android. Nothing seems to be wrong. (Feww! That was lucky!)
I try the same process again, same thing. It just turns off; no TWRP, no stock android, nothing.

At this point many hours have past and I'm giving up.

My phone is still working, it's not bricked; I think to myself it could have all gone a lot worse. I just decide to use the google now launcher off the play store and let that be the end of it. (It basically does what I want.)

However, the next day my phone tells me it needs to update. I think nothing of it, click download and install. My phone attempts to install the update then restart. Except now when it tries to restart it dose the exact same thing it did when I tried to install TWRP. It just turns off. I restart my phone, it boots into the android; nothing went wrong. I check and sure enough it didn't install the update. Odd I think, I try to update again (this time leaving it for at least 20 mins); same thing again. Just shuts down, no update.
Ok, I then think a factory reset might fix the problem. Both clicking factory reset from within android or the bootloader dose nothing the phone just shuts down.

To sum up the real problem.
I cannot install updates.
And I cannot factory reset my phone.

Here's what with (my limited knowledge and research), I think is wrong. I don't have a recovery...? So I need to reinstall a stock recovery or stock HTC version of the android OS?
I've read you need to use a RUU?

But instead of trying to tackle the situation on my own (like an idiot (like last time)), I'd do it properly this time and ask the XDA forums for help.

Again, I really know nothing about android; at all! So what I've said about recoveries and RUUs could be total crap for all I know! That said I'm not a total noob at computers and am not scared of using CMD prompt or things of that advanced nature. Really I just need someone to guide me through (in the most basic steps (from the beginning)) as to how to fix my phone. Talk to me as if I was a child and not an adult who should have known better!

Thank you in advanced for being to patient, and helping me fix this problem.
Cheers, FillNill

.P.s Just to be clear, I no longer want to turn my HTC m8 into the Google Play Edition, I just want to reset it back to the Sense version of android. So I can install updates and all that.
