Accidently figured out how to do a full wipe without using recovery:
1. Switch off
2. Press Vol-up + Power
3. If display goes on: Release power but hold vol-up
3. Toggle Lockswitch (On->Off->On->Off)
Display shows:
Code:
Erasing Userdata..
Erasing Cache..
haha ,funny
How did you find that ACCIDENTALLY?
What did you do, press buttons at random as it was booting?
WOW!!, is all I can say here.. go for it, experiment away!!
haha. Who knows what kind of little tricks like that are available? I would have hated finding that by 'accident' and losing all my data.
such kind of thing how u can find by accident ?? really amazing... wonder what other trick is hidden

sc2k, thank you very much. it works for me. my acer is wipe and return to normal. But the step 2 s/b : press vol+, hold, then press power. see the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTcBoSHqrPc
I guess this function is for people who forgot pin and without cwm recovery. However, Acer service does not disclose this to customers.
Have the same issue, occurred immediately after the OTA update, obviously the update did not flash completely or correctly.
Have used this process to get to the big green android guy, gears turning, then a processing bar appears below, then the dreaded yellow exclamation triangle appears. Nothing else happens. I'm very sad... any ideas?
UPDATE: The following has been tried twice...
Did get the process running, the "android gears" screen showed a thin yellow process bar that went through completely, but there was no indication of a wipe of "userdata" or cache". The machine rebooted and got through the ACER bootup, then the android bootup, and OS started up. But a new issue has developed. I'm getting the following error dialogs in the listed order all under the title "Sorry!" and am offered either "Force close" or "Report" as selections:
"The application Acer Sync (process com.acer.android.sync) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Exchange Services (process com.android.exchange) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Clock (process com.android.deskclock) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Exchange Services (process com.android.exchange) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Google One Time Init (process com.android.onetimeinitializer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
USBDeview recognizes when it's plugged in, and provides the serial number.
ADB will not seem to recognize, "adb devices" does not list, "adb bugreport" advises "error: device not found".
I have no ability to set to USB Debug Mode, can't get into any settings, can't turn on wifi...
Any help would be appreciated.
Brilliant! worked like a charm for me. thanx m8
how long do I wait
I got to the erasing userdata... and erasing Cache... screen but it has been stuck on that for over 30mins. Should it reboot or give me another indication that it is done?

OK, mate. First, are you able to run Acer recovery program? If yes, then flash Acer 1.141.07 recovery. Then check for system update manually and update should work fine. Please post your outcomes here to help you if it did not work.

1. Go to Settings, do a Factory Reset
2. Download the 3.1 Stock Version NON OTA that Vache posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159443
3. Flash it using the Volume Down button + Power Method (even without CMW, it works for this Rom)
you should then be fine.

sc2k, Thanks again for getting my Iconica tab back up and running, can't thank you enough.
After several tries, got the vol+ flick the screen rotate lock twice to clear the userdata and the cache, and that waa the only thing needed. Obviously the OTA update corrupted something, but all I needed to fix was a good wipe.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
What is the difference between this method and factory reset through reset button in privacy? cause that too deletes cache and user data!
Hello XDAers,
I am a real noob at rooting or android-related, and a true one voided of any knowledge regarding anything IT- related.
So dear veterans, please go easy on me.
Due to my prior success of rooting and flashing my Nexus 4 successfully a few months back with no issues, I decided to give it a try to flash a custom ROM for my dad's LG Optimus L7 - which seemed an easy task compared to configuring my Nexus 4 - since there was no need for inputting any command lines or any dealing with the abd (using the easy shortcut, that is).
So, I followed the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906133 ...
I first factory resettled the phone because it was bloated, then applied the "RunMe.bat" from the "What you desire!" folder. (Everything was already backed-up beforehand.) But the process didn't success until I've retried again and again by re-plugging the USB in because the application/PC couldn't detect the phone. In the same time, I was running KDZ_FW_UPD.exe in the background, so unexpectedly for me the phone shut itself and pushed itself to a vividly green emergency screen, then in a few seconds switched back to a screen of purple-white-blue glitches. I had to close KDZ_FW_UPD.exe without knowing what quite happened since it seemed to be the cause and restarted the process with RunMe.bat.
I didn't manage to "Restore" it first due to the fact that the phone stopped responding due to a lag asking for an encryption key. It was lagging so hard and I had to close the cmd around 5 tries while it was processing, but succeeded later on.
And then, to verify whether I've actually suceeded in rooting L7, I installed Root Checker from the Play Store. And again, for the first few tries the program froze on screen for a long period of time due to "system performance", but after rebooting and restarting the app a few times again, the ROOTING proves to be a success. Just to be sure, around this time I've reloaded KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and it suceeded.
So I went to install CWM and ES. CWM for recovery boot and ES for removing pre-installed system apps as the phone was lagging so badly. I've downloaded the CWM restoring(something like ~6.0.28?) first and tried fastbooting immediately right after, but instead of getting the fastboot menu I got a screen emptied in black with these words:
[5020] "Secure booting error"
[5020] "Cause: boot certification verify"
No hard keys could do anything on the presumed "fastboot", and so I had to hard boot again. I thought that it might be due to the lack of memory(checked on ES later on that it was 310~MB/2GB), and so I've used ES to uninstall a lot of system apps which I deemed uneccessary. So I've Googled a bit and it became apparent to me that that I've didn't unlock the device properly, so lurked around and found a file called L7CWM that is supposedly to resolve my problem, but I presume that it's the CWM recovery image that I've installed. So in the end, I didn't bother with it but kept it on tab just in case.
I repeated the same process with CWM again, but this time, the screen was joined with all kinds of flowery glitches. Restarted the device, and it went only downhill: now the Home launcher stayed all pitch black and nothing appeared. I waited a few minutes, but nothing there until the notification bar appeared. The home screen is apparently dead, and so are the menu keys. Switched to Nova Launcher(installed it just in case Home Launcher fails), and still dead. I couldn't access using any of the menu keys and had unusable launchers.
Hopefully I could still access to the settings from my status bar, but when I did, it started crashing immediately.
I've repeated the attempt a few times after restarting the device a few times, but nothing helped. It only got worse that the when the launcher did SEEM to work. It only showed the wallpaper without showing any of the icons/apps. And crashes again.
I could still access to the App menu via the settings, but couldn't open any of them and when I tried to uninstall them, the screen frozes immediately right after I gain access to the page (white page though) and gain this message: "Unfortunately Package Uninstaller Stopped!"
Then I convinced myself that the only thing I could do at the time was to factory reset the phone and then everything would go alright since I've just had to restore the system apps.
But then the black screen of death came right along with it:
"Secure booting error"
It seems that I'm out of luck... ... But just to check if I'm still left with resorts, I've downloaded the L7CWM file online...
... ...but it still didn't help.
So now I'm being left with no other choices other than asking for help. I never really understand what KDZ_FW_UPD.exe does since I had the LG Driver already before installing it, which I presume was for updating the phone to a newer or older version. And too complex tech articles are kind of alien for me.
EDIT(1 hour later): Okay, now I figured out the reason why L7CWM didn't work was because I didn't extract it to the right folder (after double checked via notepad that I was supposed to directly put it into the C:\ drive). Now it worked(?), but then it didn't.
After launching Flash_Bootloader.bat:
This message now appeared on the L7:
"Sorry!"
"SuperSU is not responding.
Would you like to close it?"
"Wait - Report - Close"
and a few minutes later
"Sorry!"
"Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped."
"Report - OK"
Now I think the bugs till now happened was due to the fact that I've deleted a file that was required for me to launch apps... Now I just need the right fix.
After 5 minutes of screen inactivity the phone restarted by itself, kind of creepy... ...
Flash_Recovery.bat did nothing.
Reboot2Recovery.bat made it reboot but still struck on the same menu.
Nothing seems to be effective via the phone anymore, seems like I have to rely on abd but then again I don't know how... ... My dad is also f*cking pissed off ^ ^;...
__________________________________
I think that I explained the logs pretty precisely in case I missed something... I'll be very very very very very very thankful if someone could tell me what has caused my phone to fail though.
For references, here are the phone's specifications:
Model Number: LG-P705g
Android version: 4.0.3 (Stock)
Rooted:Yes (root checker)
Baseband version: MSM7227A-1-AA
Kernel version: 3.0.8-perf
Build number: IML74K
Software version: V10e-AUG-10-2012
If I don't get the phone fixed to being usable soon I think that I will get butchered real hard... ... Preferably needs a step-by-step guide made for toddlers... ...
remove the battery for 10 seconds,put it back pres VOL+ and VOL - same time and than press the power button.when you feel a vibration press for many times the button wich is down in right,try for many times and maybe it will working :}

Hey guys I have a t-mobile Note 3 stock rom 4.4.2 how can I find the data/system folder?
I have Root Explorer and File Manager but am unable to find this directory. Does my phone need to be rooted?
I am getting the following message "System UIDs Inconsistent". After I press the I'm feeling lucky button then the following message pops up and I have to hit OK about 5 times to it "Unfortunately VolteConfigurationMenu has stopped". I have noticed that while the VoLTE message is on my Signal just shows a circle with a line through it. It takes about 10 seconds for it to finally go away and my signal to return to 4G/LTE.
Any help is appreciated
Here are a couple of screenshots of the errors.
Thanks.

Hello! Iam very nervous now.
I used fastboot to install the newest version of oos, then I got your device is corrupt message. So I downloaded msm tool and I switched of the phone and now when I try to start it, nothing happends. It doesnt start? Is there anything I can do or is the phone dead forever?
Iam very thankfull for your help!
edit all of a sudden it starts and everything works except the problem I hade before and thats the reason I did this. All videos on the phone is lagging and there is no sound, have anyone had this problem? Can it be because I had the mclaren rom earlier? There are sound on everything except videos.
For the 1st problem all you have to do is hold the power and the volume down button (to go up or down use the volume buttons, to select use the power button). Choose "English", navigate to Advanced (I think) and select Reboot.
For the 2nd problem use this (it's a guide to remove the "your device is corrupt" message, which I'm guessing is the reason you used the MSMDownload Tool) guide.
