need to reset my phone

i forgot my password after upgrade my wm5 to wm6. i tried to to use spl to flash my phone but my pc cant open my device because my device is locked so the activsync cant do anything.
someone can help me plz!!!!!!!!!!!
*edit* i try to hold the camera and com man buttons adn the same time and press reset button. but it doesnt change

Does restarting it normally work?
Can you enter bootloader?
If you can, you need to enter bootloader and then reflash your ROM.

i cant even enter the bootloader because my pc tells me that my device is locked and i have to open the password of my device first.

i have the same problem...is there any solutions?

[Q] Really need help stuck at recovery screen

I just reset mytouch 4g phone and during restart the recovery screen just come out but I can't move down or up anything on the screen it just stuck..
I just update cm to version 3 of something
please I really need help on this my phone is already S-off
when I plug the phone with USB it response something by HBOOT has changed to HBOOT USB PLUG
I use Stock Rom just update Kernal only

Need more specifics. "3 of something" is too vague.
If you flashed clockwork mod recovery 3 (the text is orange) while using a stock ROM you will have issues. Clockwork 3 is for gingerbread based ROMs only.
If that is so, download CyanogenMOD 7 RC1 and try to flash it. Rebooting may help get recovery working right again. If not, and you are unable to re-flash a ROM, you will need to use fastboot to re-flash a good recovery image.

In clockwork you use the trackball to navigate. Volume buttons won't work.

no response on trackball too. it just stuck on this screen and can't move anywhere....any solution

Your attached image is of the Bootloader, not CWM Recovery.
The Bootloader is controlled by volume up / volume down to move between selections, and the power button is used to select.

You might see if the Bootloader can communicate with fastboot on your PC. If so, you will have options for un-bricking from your PC.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928370 for info on installing adb and fastboot to your PC, and using them.
Fastboot is designed to communicate with the bootloader. As far as I know, however, adb requires a functioning Android or Recovery system.

One more question, after following your advice, I found that I now can restart my phone again but when I shut down the phone and turn it on again it still stuck on bootloader screen all the times...any suggestion would be appreciate...

You can "restart my phone again" -- is it running Android at that point? If so, you can restore your phone to stock, and do a full factory reset, by putting the P15IMG.zip file on the root of your SD card and rebooting. The bootloader (if it is functional) should find it and begin the restore procedure.
Dowload, rename this, and stick it on your SD card, and reboot. If after a successful return to factory defaults, your phone still isn't working, the problem is likely not software.

[Q] Please help guys

I have installed 4.2.2 on nexus 7. As I had skipped account login at welcome screen, i could not login the account. I altered the apk of login. After factory reset my device has hanged on setup on welcome screen. I tried installing custom rom through stock bootloader but the bootloader says installation failed. How do I solve thia problem guys???

subin.nexus7 said:
don't know the exact steps, but i got it out of the APX mode and into the bootloader.
1. Tablet plugged into computer.
2. Held Volume Down + Volume Up + Power (simultatenously) for three seconds
3. And then released all, and pressed Power again.
4. Tablet booted into bootloader.
I thought that unlocking the bootloader ALWAYS voided the warranty, but in anycase I flashed reflashed ALL stock and locked the bootloader. Will be sending it to ASUS now. Thanks again!
EDIT:
So I wanted to verify that it was a CPU problem, and I downloaded StabilityTest again and ran the CPU load test. It crashed within two minutes, and went into AXP mode again. To get it out of AXP mode, the correct instructions:
1. Plug in the usb into computer
2. Hold Volume Down + Volume Up + Power simultaneously for like 15 seconds
3. The bootloader should show up.
4. If it doesn't, unplug the usb cable, and plug it back in and then repeat the these procedures.

Very helpful! I don't have a problem but I've read about others stuck in APX mode. This should be pinned if it works for those stuck in APX. Maybe you should change the thread title to something about APX solution so it draws some attention.

Well... being stuck in APX doesn't necessarily mean your hardbricked. (Corrupt or erased bootloader).
But being hardbricked DOES mean your device will default to APX mode.
To use a mathematical metaphor, one is a SUBSET of the other.

I'm sort of confused about the relationship between your edited post and what (apparently ?) kieso quoted, but I'll throw out a few suggestions:
1) AFAIK, there is no way to flash a dev ROM using fastboot (only the boot image of a dev ROM can be flashed this way). You said "bootloader", not "custom recovery" ... so that implies using fastboot. If that is not the case, then your use of terminology is not correct. (It's a computer - reporting details correctly is incredibly important).
2) If you bypass the WiFi login, an account can be added at any time later using the settings menu or simply by launching the Google Play (market) app - there is no need to "alter the apk of login", whatever that means.
3) I would recommend at this point that you start completely over by flashing a factory ROM using fastboot - see the sticky thread about returning to stock using fastboot. If you already have the 4.18 bootloader installed, I recommend you avoid like the plague any operation involving flashing the bootloader.
4) It should be obvious from the trouble that you got yourself into that you should learn what nandroid backups are and that you START USING THEM. The first thing you do after rooting is "make a backup", not "flash a ROM"
good luck

Thanq so much.But still some clarification needed
Now What do I do? My nexus 7 can't pass through at welcome screen saying saying unfortunately setup wizard has stopped. and in recovery{i have no custom recovery, I use bootloader 4.18} i cant flash any rom. I just want to start device any how.. any way.. Is there any way??

I guess I am having trouble understanding the sum total of information you have provided - I guess you have omitted some information or mis-stated something. No custom recovery sort of implies a full stock device, but yet you previously mentioned modifying/changing an .apk in /system... normally that would be possible only with a rooted ROM or a custom recovery to do that.
If your tablet is 100% stock, a factory reset of the tablet should allow you to boot once again - at the cost of deleting everything you put on the device, including all files you put on the (pseudo-) SD card.
If that is the case:
- press and hold power+vol-down until the bootloader screen shows up
- use vol-up/vol-down to select "start recovery" and press the power button
- an android lying on it's back should show up; this is the stock recovery splash screen, so
- press power+vol-up simultaneously for about one second - the stock recovery menu should show up
- select factory reset (with vol-up/vol-down) and press the power button.
good luck

when you say at the cost of deleting everything, does this include deleting everything in the bootloader because thats what I did when I used the command "fastboot erase bootloader"

[Q] Nexus 7 stuck

Hi,
my Nexus 7 (2013) is stuck on Google screen...
a few days ago I downloaded a lot of movies via utorrent, and utorrent kept crashing. So i forced stop, removed the app, reinstalled it from google play and continued.
My nexys then suddenly freezed for about 1-2mins before i shut it down via the power buttom, and since then it wont start...I've tried almost everything.
The device is stuck on Google screen. I've tried to boot it through the bootloader, recovery mode etc, but it's still stuck on the google screen. downloaded the nexus root toolkit to unlock my device, but it keeps tellin me i've to enable USB debugging. which I can't since my device won't start.
I've downloaded the SkipSoft Android tookit, but not too familiar with the tookit so haven't really tried anything yet (also not sure which android version i'm running)..
Is there ANYTHING i can do?
EDIT: tried using skipsoft android tookit to unlock bootloader, but when coming to the stage where i've to chose yes or no, the device get stuck and the power button does not respond => I can't chose Yes..
EDIT: So I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work..
downloaded a new adb+fastboot directory from another thread. Fastboot commands seems to work, but when i try and erase boot/cache etc the cmd does nothing...had this line for about 10min:
erasing 'boot'..
nothing happens.. when i unplug my device an error message shows (too many links).
so, fastboot won't erase my boot nor my cache, so i tried to fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img, and it says my bootloader is locked.
fastboot oem lock --> bootloader is alrdy locked
fastboot oem unlock --> stuck at "YES", just as i was when trying with different toolkits.
fastboot -w update image-razor --> Error, failed to load 'img-razor'
soo i'm getting kinda desperate here...
remeber, this was all from a stock rom, no root, no custom rom, just from a freeze when dl movies from utorrent...

i have been stuck like that before. get into to the bootloader screen from where its hung at the google splash screen. once there you can fastboot a factory image.
from the google screen:
1. hold volume up, volume down and power until you get to the screen with the android and its belly open
2. connect to pc
3. download factory image from HERE
4. unzip the tar file you just downloaded and place the contents in your platform-tools folder
5. double click the file named flash-all.bat
6. wait for it to finish and it should boot up just fine.

say what? Hold vol.up, vol.down and power until i get to bootloader?
when i press vol up, vold down, and power, holding them all in together from the google screen the device shuts down..
Do you have a youtube tutorial gudie or something?
EDIT:
Also, I've never rooted or done anythign with this tablet except downloading a few apps etc...this crash happened when downloading from utorrent...

The key combination is to be used from being powered off.

Yeah, and from what i can read it also needs an unlocked bootloader, which i don't have..

just keep holding the keys down. it will shut down. keep holding it will try to boot back up and take you to the bootloader screen. you do not need an unlocked boot loader. all my nexus devices have locked bootloaders, are rooted and run custom roms.

also, should add that i tried to unlock oem via the cmd, tried to flash boot.img but nothing..
when typing fastboot oem unlock, it got stuck at "Yes" when trying to unlock bootloader, and when typing flash boot, it said error, cannot flash boot.img..
AND i'm not running a custom rom, just the standard stock rom

one step at at a time. lets get you to the bootloader screen first. all good things happen from there.

Yes, I can access bootloader (fastboot mode).
tho i don't know which version i'm running..
it's either 4.4.2 (KOT49H) or 4.4 (KRT16S).
however, when running flash-all it says "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRfrjR9Y8fI&feature=youtu.be

dont worry about version. it does not matter. lets focus on your connection to the device. do you have ADB setup on your pc? if you dont, go to THIS thread and get minimal ADB & fatboot from shimp208. install it and run it.

great! have you downloaded the factory image for your device yet? get it HERE if you have not. make sure you get the right one. if your device is wifi only select that one, if it had mobile data and a sim card get the one for mobile..

Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp but can't boot the phone anymore.
It only starts when pressing power button + volume up. Then I get following message two times before I get the third, final message mentioned in the headline:
Code:
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
After that it tells my to press the power button to continue -> phone goes off.
Can't connect to adb shell, so what can I do?

Can you get into recovery? If so, I would say connect phone in recovery, (will show up on PC as mtp device), then copy anything you don't want to lose. Then do a full wipe, and flash stock rom, or custom rom and see if the message is still there.

Managed to enter recovery for once. Flashed Omnirom but know it stucks at the 'Sony screen'.
Can't get into recovery anymore.

I did it!
It works!
Don't ask me how. Wild keypress combinations and luck.

I think its related to sony drm, you have to flash genesis kernel for it to work well, anyway good luck
