If you have the stock rom 1.6
With the phone off, press and hold menu. Now press start until you leave "TATTOO", and turn loose WITHOUT drop menu.
Try whether you can uninstall the application.
or
Press and hold key "HOME" key + "BACK" and "POWER" button until you exit bootloader menu or to display that shows a menu that appears and disappears, then release only "POWER"
and give "clear storage"
but lose all.
lucky

thank you very much,
i didnt realise it was that easy with the safe mode
didnt knew it existed on it

HTC 3450, HELP! doesn't enter bootloader mode

Hi everyone,
Before opening this thread i have done a lot of search about my problem but i could not find any solution. My pocket pc is HTC Touch 3450, it works fine but i want to unlock its CID. I tried every combination to enter bootloader mode (CAMERA + SOFT RESET, or CAMERA+POWER+SOFTRESET etc.) but when i try, it boots normally. Also there is no SD card in it. As i said everything works fine. I tried to upgrade its ROM but i got CONNECTION error in %0 of progress. I know to upgrade ROM i must enter bootloader but as i said i cannot. Also i can try to upgrade ROM via SD card but again i have to enter bootloader mode, but as i said i cannot.
When i try to enter bootloader mode it boots normally and begins the system and works everything fine. I dont know its history, i mean its my new second hand phone.
Anyone, any idea? Please help me!!!!.
Same problem here - 155 views and no answers
Phone turned off. Hold down camera button, press power button to boot, while still holding camera button until the bootloader appears...
If you can't get your device into bootloader and you have tried all options, which it seems like you did. Consider the fact that you may have a clone, where did you purchase the phone from? This issue has been mentioned before, and that was the answer to why the bootloader wouldn't load.
Easy way to tell is check the battery, it'll say HTG instead of HTC.
Tried that matey - no good.
You see I thought that mine was a clone due to the trouble getting into bootloader, but I can see no other reason to believe its a clone, Battery says HTC as well.
I have had plenty of experience updating roms on htc devices but this has me stumped.
unfortunately it is a HTG battery, then it is a clone When i try the combinations, (power off then push power buton+camera button) it doesn't enter bootloader mode.Now i knoe that the problem is being a clone.
My next question is, what is the way to enter bootloader in clone HTC (HTC with a HTG battery)?????
Thanks
same problem. please help
crypto 2008 , same problem here.nobody knows how to do this. please help
It's the same problem for all clones.
Seems there is no way to enter the bootloader mode
Clones enter bootloader by holding the volume slider UP and pressing reset. If you hold the volume slider up and hold the camera button and hit reset you can hard reset it.

becuae my dots on teh boot logo are blue and stock settings would be red!
if im not mistaken!
the first time you boot mango the dots and color tiles are red!
so...???
so confused!
If you've activated "find my phone" on SkyDrive, go to https://devices.live.com. Select your phone in the list, then Find My Phone. That takes you to a page where, among other things, is an option entitled "Erase my phone". This is a factory reset. You'll lose all your data, but you'll get your phone back.
(Been there, done that.) Hope this helps.
nope!

Advanced config 1.4 broke my xaps!
After checking the enable wifi n and prevent re-lock buttons in "tweaks" and rebooting, all my xaps don't work!
It happened with 1.3 too and I posted this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275303
Have since tried to send unlock_remove.cab then unlock.cab as XBmod suggested but no joy. Had to go back to restore point and reload apps, music etc.
I have posted this on Schap's site.
Points to note; If everything is working fine with you, send any cab using (B)ackup, it is your friend. And don't try to enable wifi n or prevent re-lock using Advanced Config.
Edit; confirm the prevent re-lock as culprit

Very annoying bug on 4.0.3 LPY (not found in other topics)

Hallo guys, i just flashed N7000XXLPY via ODIN. Everything worked well but I have one big issue (that wasn't discussed in "bugs" thread).
Whatever I select, Swipe Unlock, Face recognition, Draw pattern, PIN code or whatever, it reacts the same: never requires swipe, PIN, pattern or else for unlocking. If i press briefly the power button, the display light switchs off. If I press again any other button (volume, home or power), the display light turns on but never asks for any method of unlocking. What to do? Does anyone else have the same issue?
Not happening here. Try a hard-reset after flashing a new ROM.
I have swipe unlock by default and it works. Screen does not power on when you press volume button, only if you press power or home button.
Thanks vcespon for your quick response. I tried hard reset via "Volume UP + Home + Power" method, I wiped cache, I tried hard reset via changing the CSC, I restored it to factory settings from menu, nothing worked. Any other oppinion?
LE: I found another issue, maybe is related with the first one. When I want to switch off the phone, I press (for 2 seconds) the power button and it just go to Samsung logo and swhitches off, without asking me those two questions about what I want to do (to can choose beetween flight mode, silent and power off) and if I'm sure that I want to power off the phone.
LE2: Tryed also Indian version (N7000DDLP8), no improvements.

1. Root your device.
2. Use this solution:
Download from Market "Terminal Emulator"
Open it and type this commands:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
reboot
100% works !

[Q] Please can someone help I killed my yotaphone 2

Hello to all here at xda im a new member and im hoping someone can help me,
I recently bought a yotaphone 2 from tinydeals in china and its model
P05-Yota which I think is china model YD-205 or 206
I wanted to upgrade the firmware to the latest firmware and I think I made two big mistakes.
First when I downloaded the yotaflasher software for windows I chose the eu firmware on option 2 and clicked to download it.also I dont think I put usb debugging on my phone.i put my phone into diwnloading mode and connected the phone to my pc.my pc recognised the phone and I clicked on option 1 in yotaflasher to flash mobile.
The flash process started but failed on most of the things it was supposes to get access to, my phone reatarted and now its on constant boot loop which shows the android logo.i can boot phone back into downloading mode but nothink else
I have read that as my phone is in boot loop and can still boot into downloading mode its soft bricked and not hard bricked so im guessing thats good news.
This is my own fault and im not very experienced in all this flashing and I fing yotaflasher hard to understand compared to odin ive used on samsung phones before
Please can anyone help a complete novice to revive his mobile
I would be greatful for any help and instructions and dont know if im allowed to do this on this site so I appologise to moderators if im not, but anyone that can help me get my phone working again I will transfer £20 to their paypal account as I would appreciate this help alot
Im sorry for being a noob and hope to hear from someone soon
Thx

Sorry for my very, very bad english.
Try to reboot your phone in recovery mode.
Press power button for a long time (20 - 30 seconds or more) and, as soon as the screen turn off, press and hold the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Then, choose wipe data and factory reset.
Try several times if that does not work at once.
I made a big mistaske too and I solved the problem but with several attemps.
Good luck !
I appreciate your help

Just a quick question, yotaflasher is a software im not familiar with and im not sure if im using it right.
Do I start yotaflasher and then type 2 and enter tochoose region.then type the number for the firmware I want and press enter.then when its finished downloading it seems ro freeze and I cant type any key to start flash so I have to exit software then restart it.
Do I then just type 1 and enter to start flashing phone then thats it or do you have to type proper commands into this software ro get it to work as im not sure if im using it right
I will be home in couple of hrs to test out what you told me
Thx

Sorry again for my english...
1. without any software, reset your phone : turn off your phone (or, if it's not possible, press power button for a long time :20 - 30 seconds or more - and, as soon as the screen turn off) --> press and hold the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Then, choose "wipe data and factory reset" and wait...
2. After the reboot, put usb debugging on your phone
3 . install yotaflasher (so you also have the drivers on your computer).
4. put your phone on download mode : turn off your phone - then, press and hold the Volume down + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds
5. open yotaflasher on your computer and connect your phone (wich is on download mode)
6. chose the last EU firmware (option 2) and download it - after, click on option 1 and flash your mobile. Wait the necessary time without touch anything and, after maybe 10 ou 15 minutes, your phone will reboot.
We have the same phone from Tinydeals and I'm now on lolipop (after the flash).
Good luck !

Yes, I know, don't worry, I bug my phone too - it's why you have, first, to reset your phone... try to put it on recovery mode, it's the only solution (I think).
--> Press the power button for a long time (20 - 30 seconds or more) and, as soon as the screen turn off, press and hold the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Then, you will see a menu : choose "wipe data and factory reset".

[Q] ZC520TL - Recover half-brick Zenfone Max 3

Hello to everyone,
I received a system notification this morning which was telling me that there was a new software update for the Zenfone 3 Max. So I've clicked on it to update the system, and, during the update, something went wrontg and it "crashed", rebooting in a strange korean (?) screen:
Now I can't boot properly the Zenfone and if I try to move inside the screen it just changes some english text from eMMC or FM to BT or GPS. It's like it is doing a device check and something isn't working.
It can't be turned off, so I just let the battery go dead to see if this would fix the issue.
I've charged it while it was switched off, and after a couple of minutes it turned on with the same korean (?) screen. I've also tried the hard reset by keeping pressed the power on button, but it only went off.
The last thing I've tried is to connect it via USB on my laptop while it is in this strange screen and checked that is recognised by the ADB. I've never unlocked the bootloader or ever rooted this model, so the response of the command "adb devices" is a model and the text "Unauthorized".
Is it something that I can actually do? I'd like to try an hard reset or force it to go in recovery mode and try to reinstall the firmware... but since the device is "unauthorized" I'm not sure that it will let me flash the firmware...
Do you have any advice on how to handle this situation?
Thanks in advance
(I do apologize for my grammar mistakes)
My English is really really bad, so try to understand this
Frst if ur phone is hang or stock in any ways u can reboot or power it off by pressing the power button for atleast 10 sec. Press and hold.
Second u can reinstall the firmware in any case even if ur phone is dead.
Frst u need to install the usb driver
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=...AFIAVgC&v=y-oDWXbhiC0&mode=NORMAL&app=desktop
Then u can reinstall the firmware using the following files
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL4PNn1kmbOalk-kuEUO3hrJWA9hOAzl9Z&v=rh2m1Pgof2s and u need the latest firmware updates in zip.
U can get from here

I hope u can figure it out.
We have the same phone model so it should work for you.

First of all, thank you for the explanation, as far as I've searched this seems to be the "factory mode" screen of the asus zenfone max 3 with the chinese language setted... And the fact is that this mode is used for test purposes only, in fact if I randomly choose any option it just seems to test a random phone function. Anyway, I've tried to reboot it by choosing the 8th option, which is supposed to reboot the phone normally, and it kept on going in that screen again. I've also tried to reboot by forcing the reboot via (Vol Down + Power) buttons together.. and for my bad luck it still resets in this "factory mode".
I watched the video and not sure about it because I'm not familiar with SP Flash Tool: does my zenfone needs to have the bootloader unlocked? or it should have been rooted? Will I be able to flash the firmware while the phone is in the status, even if in ADB devices it is shown as "Unauthorized" ?
I'm asking all these questions because I've never done any firmware operations on this smartphone, I've only made ordinary system updates.
Thanks in advance for your patience and your attention!
Pressing volume down + power is going to that screen. I dont know if Chinese or Korean
Pressing volume up + power key for default recovery mode screen,
Press and hold the power key is for normal boot.
I dont know if zen3max need a bootloader unlock.
Because im able to install a custom recovery in my zen3max and my phone is rooted and im able to install back the stock recovery so i dont get any trouble Everytime i received a notification update.
Well if u r worried. Get another smartphone and use the google translator with the camera to translate that Chinese language on ur zenfone 3 max. Maybe u can find the format option or clear cache blah blah blah.

When you said that volume down + power key is the combo of keys to press to go in that screen... it kinda rang me a bell: recently my smartphone fell and it got damaged on the right edge, causing the volume down button to get inside the cover, and now it is like unpushable... I've never powered off my zenfone until I had to do this system update. So I thought that probably there isn't anything wrong with the firmware, it just keeps going in factory mode each time I try to power it on due to the fact that the volume down seems to be pressed all the time. So I decided to contact the ASUS support team to give it to them and let them repair the buttons.
Thanks for the info!
so must be thats the problem boot looping​ in to that screen because the volume down is broken. I guess.
Well thats the best u can do to fix it.
