every time I try to boot my phone pressing the HOME+BACK keys so I can access the nandroid backup and update.zip loader I get that multi-colored screen which then flashes over to another screen saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
Where is the other screen I expect? I seem to be stuck at the moment. Thanks for the help in advance and I am sorry if this question has been answered somewhere else.

no thats a "soft reset" hard reset turn the phone off (take battery out and reinsert if cant do from with in windows) press and hold volume up and down keys at same time, keep holding these and press power button. when text comes up press volume up button to restore device. (BTW you will lose all data on phone memory)

You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.
i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone
use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed
Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.
thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.
Hi,
I just tried flashing new ROM and now the Clockwork Recovery does not work anymore. I can go to Bootloader then select Recovery to be in Clockwork but at there whenever I select a menu such as Wipe data or Install zip, etc.. I get a blank screen, it totally not work.
So please tell me how to re-install it or even remove it as well. Any helps appreciated!
Thanks.
make sure you're not pressing the power button when selecting something, press trackball, lols.
on the first menu when you select "recovery" you have to use the power button to select something.
in the next menu the track ball is used instead.
this is confusing, but this is usually explained in all tutorials, so next time just be careful with reading
ahhhhh Thank you guys for the replies. I have used this tool so many times but don't know why I forgot it, It just was the stupid of mine, the power button is just back
Thanks again!
After unlocking the N 10 and pressing start it is stuck on the "cross".
I go back to the bootloader and I see the following message :
" downloading - do not turn off the target" either connected or disconnected from the pc.
In this case there is no up or down arrows the only choice is "start"
From here to go back to the bootloader without the message I have to press power and both volume.
Then I can select recovery. Once in recovery I cannot get into the recovery menu no matter the way I press power and volume.
If I leave the N 10 on recovery after a while it goes back to the screen with the "cross".
Of course in this configuration I cannot access adb and fastboot.
I would really appreciate the help of the forum members.

You're in a bootloop. While in recovery (without options) you need to press all 3 buttons on top at the same time. Don't hold them, just press them and release. Once or twice should be enough to pull up the recovery options. Once there, do a factory reset and you'll be all set.
Mine got pretty hosed when unlocking too. Couldn't even get into recovery. Had to use fastboot to flash recovery.img, then I could get into recovery and do a factory reset.

Thank you very much (I also press the right button).
At first I wanted to reply that even this option did not work though I tried it more than once. Instead of replying to your post I decided to give a final try and it worked. In my previous attempts I was obviously taking a nap on the 3 buttons.
Recently I have updated the firmware to 8.1. by using Odin successfully. However, the Internal Storage was reduced to the half only. In trying to fix this, I reflashed it with 'Nand-Erase' option checked (stupidly!). Then everything gone wrong.
- Bootloop (Struck on SAMSUNG logo)
- No recovery
I reflashed without checking 'Nand-Erase' but still not working, bootloop.
Then I installed/flashed TWRP from Odin again. It was successful, but very sadly I can't do anything:
- Unable to restore backup
- No Factory Reset/Wiping Date, Cache etc.
- No Power off
- Unable to Mount
- Internal Storage show 0MB.
Have you ever faced this problem? Can any one help me please. I am really in need of your suggestion and advice.
SOLVED!
After browsing through lots of pages, I found a solution which works for me. Even though my problem has been solved, I will just put the solution here, in case anyone may face the same problem with me. Follow the Steps below...
Reboot into Recovery (Press volume up, home and power button at same time)
Phone will reboot, leave power button but keep holding other 2 buttons.
After you see android/system update installing screen, leave these 2 buttons
Wait for few seconds and phone will show 'no command' then press volume button 3/4times and system recovery will open
with volume keys go to "wipe cache" and press power key.
after that select "wipe data/reset" and press power key.
after that select reboot phone and press power key
now phone will go to Samsung logo screen and you may think that it is again stuck in bootloop
But no, wait for some time->for me it was less than 4-5 min
and you will see the installing apps and other messages on screen
DONE!
Be Happy
Very considerate for you to post that info up for others. Thank you.
