I've got an M5000...
recently, I did a reset, and upon reboot, I got stuck at teh orange default splash screen.
That was 5 days ago, and after several calls, I'm no closer to finding out why..
So, can someone confirm how to do a hard reset. (I've tried, but heard nothing.
or can anyone offer advise to get my phone back to fectory settings.. I've got a back up of my data, so I'm not bothered about loosing anything.
I've got qa 1Gb SD card, with very little info on it, and I've tried rebooting with and without the card in place.
Any ideas, before I pull my hair out...?

To do a hard reset on the Universal:
Press and hold both SoftKeys (the ones with the lines on that point to Calendar and Contacts on the Today screen) and tap the Reset button at the back of the device.
When you have done this you have a choice of pressing X to exit the menu, or 0 to perform the hard reset.
As a last resort (it worked for me)
Put the Universal into bootloader then connect the usb and run romupdate.
to put into bootloader
Power button + Voice record + Reset.
i have this phone
how to remove password?or how to make hard reset?
I also had the same problem. few days ago I entered my password and some how the phone did not let me log in so I researched on how to do a hard reset.
Direction:
Hard reset on Samsung Giorgio Armani b7620
Turn off device. Place it in a flat surface
Hold W/L and Lock button together (do not release) then press (do not release) call button then power button....
Formatting Menu will appear, press call button to confirm hard reset
fyi: W/L = work and leisure button which locates on top next to the speaker phone.
before u do this please notice that after I did a hard reset on my phone, the phone itself did not get any network signal. so the Hard reset probably erased the Radio software on the phone. I don't know why it did that. I am guessing probably because I had the sim card in the phone when I did the Hard Reset.
What you can try is before you do the Hard reset. *Take the sim card out of the phone first* then follow the direction I gave up there.
Good luck.
Hi all
first post and i got an interesting problem with my phone which i qualify as stupid. It all started when when my virtually keyborad started becoming unresponsive and when i tried to do a factory reset, i could not enter the 1234 number to start it. i left the phone for a while and then i could not get into the setting even . But i could receive calls but i could not call since i could not access any numbers on the dial pad( by pressing on the numbers of coruse but from dial log screen i could)
Anyway long story short while fiddling with the phone , i thought the lock feature was on that is why some of the touch functions was not totally responsive but to my sadness, i activated the lock and now the phone is stuck on the front page and i cannot access anything since i must press unlock at the far corner of the down screen but stupidly, while pressing on the unlock, since it is unresponsive, i cannot unlock the phone to get to the normal menu and so on.The only thing working is the square pad which tells me to press cancel then unlock to free the phone for normal use
By the way the lock feature is the one that blocks the phone so that you do not accidentally press on the touch screen and activate a program and not the lock thing operators put to limit your phone
I want to know if anyone can help me unlock the screen so that i can reset the phone or alternatively any other method via usb to reset my phone to factory settings. Any special buttons on the phone i can do to do that?
I tired leaving battery out for 24 hours but that did not work to unfreeze the touch buttons
Was thinking to reload the windows mobile completely via the micro card (which i read here) but i am not sure it will work or i fear it might brick my phone
Any suggestions will be welcome please.... thanks
Use myMobiler to control device from Pc through usb
Good luck
Ps: you'll probably have to change digitiser afterwards
Well tried the mobiler but the thing is that it asks the phone to allow the program to conenct and i cannot press yes on the touch screen since it is frozen or something so i am stuck again.
Very strange, it doesn't ask anything on my device...
Why don't you hard reset: press green and red buttons and while pressing, poke the stylus shortly in the reset hole then release the 2 buttons. It will ask something that you probably won't see, just press the action button and wait for it to restart.
Don't flash another on just yet - it may well cause issues as it sounds like your digitizer is broken. Don't hard reset either
Does it pick up anything at all? Have you tried tapping all over the place in that region to try and get a response, sometimes just under the screen also works. Do you use a screen protector? If not, try it with one, if yes, try it without, it may be interferring with it, or it may help the touch be picked up by the phone (Stupid, I know, but this is something I found to work before with my elfs, and omnias)
When it is locked, is activesync picking the phone up? You may be able to put the remote.exe into the windows folder (for myMobilier) and do it that way.
A digitizer costs about £6-£10. But due to the age of this device, as sad as it is, I would suggest trying a new phone out if funds allow for it.
ok so far i tried the hard reset (red button and green and pressed the on off button but nothing. When i press on off button alone it switches off but not hard reset. I did not know i had a reset hole at the bottom of the phone.I did that with red and green button but nothing. Only when i poke the hole alone it does a hard reset i think but when i switches back on it is still unresponsive and locked screen
I tried poking under screen protector nothing. Also i think screen is still responsive because when i tap on it, the screen lights brighter
I tired putting remote exe file on the phone( active sync is working and i can read files on the phone) but i have two remote files..which one to use ? the one that ends with 40 one or 50 .Also where to put it specifically..which folder.I tried my windows mobile based device but nothing.Also tried program files and data application nothing.
Mobiler cannot connect since from pc alone because it asks my phone permission
and i cannot tap yes to accept program.
so any more suggestions please
Hi
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, here's the exact procedure, it should work since you have to use only hardware buttons:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
If Hard reset doesn't work then your device hardware is faulty.
If he hard resets he will liekly not be able to align the screen on initial setup tito12.
Avanisha. If you try to run one of the remote.exe it will say this is not a valid windows application, thats the one that needs to go into windows on your phone.

Hi captainstu72, i was under the impression that he messed up something in his system so a hard reset would hopefully solve the problem. In case he still can't align the screen after HR then he has to replace the digitiser. Mymobiler will not solve anything, pls read the 1st post: he wanted to do a factory reset. He just have to sync before HR.
thks tito 12..problem was solved with your help.J ust did not get the steps of hard reset right. Phone is working ok now and screen is ok as well as tap function. thank god i don't need a digitizer. thanks to captainstu72 for the help as well .You were right tito..seems i ran a program and then all hell broke on my phone. I wanted to factory reset but as you know the pad was locked.
Glad I could help, enjoy your device
Ahh okay, guess i mis read something! Sorry
Glad its all sorted though, I was just concerned he may end up in an annoying align screen loop
hi all, my friend asked me to reinstall his LG G2 because he forgot his gmail account he created only for this phone. i dont know what he did but his phone ended with some screen asking either for some alternate PIN or his google account.
In this state i shut it down and tried enter Hard reset option (turn it on with power and wolume down buttons, release power button after logo shows and press it down once more).
But no Hard reset option appears. I think it has something to do with a fact that phone is locked. Is his only option to give it to him back and take it to local service where he have to pay for it?
PS: It says he has D802 LG-G2-1
I bought my son the Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T530nn a couple years ago on amazon it was a Refurb. at some point he changed his pin because his siblings were getting on it without asking him and he forgot the pin. his account is the master or admin account. i can't do anything account wise except use a guest account which i can do nothing with like usb debugging or anything else as far as i know.
I tried to do a hard reset and couldn't get it to work and i eventually saw that it was locked with MDM. when i did all that has been a year or so ago its just been sitting on the shelf. Wondering if there is anyone who can point me in the right direction.
The seller on amazon I bought it from only refurbishes electronics and sells them, i am guessing it was a school tablet and a kid broke the screen or it wouldn't charge. But there's nothing the seller can do to help.
Now after I typed this entire thing i am seeing how that this whole thing could sound a little fishy, i have the invoice on amazon and i will upload that and my ugly face and govt ID and the tablet to prove it belongs to me and I'm not some kid or thief that stole it from school.
if anyone can help and needs me to upload video/photos or other info please ask and ill update as soon as possible.
Thank you for reading and helping if you can.
With the tablet off:
1. Press and hold the home button
2. Press and hold volume up
3. and then press and release the power button. Once the tablet powers up, release the other buttons.
That should bring up a menu where you navigate with volume up and down. Navigate down to Wipe Data/factory reset. Press the power button to start the reset process.
If the tablet starts up in download mode, you pressed volume down instead of up. It's easy to confuse the two on the Tab 4. Just repeat the process until you get the selection of doing a wipe data/factory reset.
the tablet has MDM(mobile device management) still enabled on it and it’s blocked from being hard reset will this work still?
no. there is nothing you can do.
