I've flashed the new Vodafone Germany 20B rom, with this rom you can't access recovery/rteset mode. Rom booted but is stuck in a mass of force closes. I can't factory reset as i can't get through the menus. ADB can't find the device... Any ideas at all?
Pretty dsure a factory reset would fix it.

You should be able to use the stock bootloader Factory reset.
Power off by holding the power button down for about 15 secs. Hold the power button and Vol down until the LG logo appears, then release both briefly and press both again. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Read my post again Unfortunately that button combo doesn't work anymore on this update. I tried multiple button combinations with no luck.
In the end i downgraded to a Jellybean KDZ, still got the force closes but this time i could reset using the button combo. Then updated to the German Voda release.
Just a warning for anyone updating to it... Make a full factory reset/data wipe first or you may end up in my situation!

Read your post again - sorry can't see any reference to hardware/physical buttons.
Anyhow - glad you sorted it.

Couldn't find a thread with precisely same situation - this morning I left my Iconia with WiFi off on standby with plenty of battery left (70ish %), only to just find it powered off. Now when I try to power it on, it stays in the Android boot animation and doesn't go anywhere from there.
And like I said in the title, it isn't rooted or in any other way hacked, so this is really weird. I think a factory reset would make it work, maybe, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them before resorting to wiping.
Also I have no idea how to do a factory reset without CWM. Long press reset button doesn't seem to work?
Hold Volume Down while turning Power On?
Nope...it tries to run update.zip

A simple method for wiping is described in this thread.
Alternatively you can connect an USB keyboard, boot to recovery (vol-down + power) and press HOME on the keyboard. This will open a menu where you can select factory reset.
It got stuck at "Erasing cache" but I just shut it down and rebooted, now it started. Thanks a lot. Somehow I think I'm going to root it now and put CWM so I won't have to lose all my data because STOCK ROM crashes for some weird reason and I don't have a backup.
in my opinion u should just go ask for replacement....
Hi Folks
My tab only stuck Android logo, ask for password. i enter password then again comes android logo and nothing
I tried hard reset combination. but none worked for me. is there any solution to this problem ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you'll need to try to do a factory wipe from recovery and then flash a zip of the stock rom (which you'll need to copy to your SD card)
Did forget your own password or buy this one hot?

Probably not a good idea for him to answer that if it's the latter.

Did you try a full wipe of the tablet? Hold down the volume up key and the power button until the tablet vibrates. Release the power button while still holding the volume up key, and slide the screen lock button (next to the volume up key) to the right and then back to the left.
The screen should display 'Erasing Userdata', you can then release the volume key. It should then erase the cache, Acer says it can take 5-10 minutes to complete. The tablet should then reboot, and you may be able to get in from the stock settings.
If the tablets hangs at 'Erasing Cache' for more than 15 minutes, force a power down by holding in the power key. The try the power/volume/lock routine again.

What doesn't work exactly? Did you get an error during installation? Or was installation successful but the problem still exists?

I have the same issues. I have tried installing new roms, and still get the same issues. Any ideas would be great
I can't flash stock firmware because phone is not detected, installed 2 different LG drivers, didn't change the situation.
Some people asked to do a hard reset, when I hold volume down+power button, and then press home button when LED's light up, it doesn't do anything. Tried releasing previous two buttons too, doesn't work.
I have CWM installed, also a custom kitkat rom. Tried doing a factory reset through CWM, didn't help.
How do I flash a stock ROM now?

I think you did the wrong thing in hard resetting your phone. You need to press the menu key and not the home key. Paste this after youtube address.. watch?v=aE5sTWHXZBI
It shows you how to exactly reset your LG phone.
The touchscreen of my rooted S4 is not working anymore and I want to sell the device now. Is it possible to factory reset via Odin? If so, how would I do it?
I recommend booting into download mode using the button combo, flashing with Odin, and then perform a factory wipe. It can be done using buttons, not the touch screen.

Can you elaborate in a little more detail how the factory reset works with buttons in odin or download mode?
If you just want to factory reset and the phone is running a stock recovery, power off the phone, press and hold the home button, volume up, and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button and keep holding down the volume up and home. When you get into recovery, perform a factory wipe.
Is the phone an s4 sgh-i337 from AT&T phone?

Yes, I have a SGH-I337. I cannot boot into the safestrap recovery anymore, it waits a few seconds and boots right into android.
Sorry, the method I suggested will work with stock recovery.
Maybe this thread will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
I recently (successfully?) rooted my phone, but couldn't make phone calls or texts so I tried factory resetting it. The factory reset worked but I still had the root and I couldnt make calls or texts, so I tried multiple times to unroot it through Odin and it said it worked on my last attempt, but now my phone is stuck on a black screen and a blue LED pops up. I get no vibrations or feedback from my phone. I've tried all the combos to reset, down home power, down power, power home up, home power, all of them. My only hope is to let the phone die of power and recharge it and see if it will work. Does anyone have any ideas? When I plug it in to my computer it wont detect it either.
check your IMEI with *#06#!
when you have no IMEI you need the EFS BackUp...hope you have it.

power button + volume down. When it reboots, quickly get into download mode the same way you would normally. And same as above post, EFS back.. if it's not resolved from factory reset.
I have had this problem.
If you just hold power vol- down it will reboot and when reeboting, just keep holding the same buttons until you get the Download Mode.
If not try holding power vol- up until geeting into recovery, then go trough download mode from there.
You just have to hold the buttons down, it wil maybe restart but just keep holding these buttons trough the restarts.
In download mode you have to do a fresh install with a rom of your choice from Sammobile, orginal firmware.
And remember to never Factory Reset your phone after innstaling ROOT and Recovery.
The best way to do factory reset after these are firmware flash trough Odin.
