Factory reset
On the Galaxy S the soft-reset is achieved by pressing and holding the power button. A hard-reset can executed by pressing and holding VolumeUP+Home+Power. There you will find the options "reboot", "apply sdcard:update.zip", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition".
The "wipe data/factory reset" option will restore your phone to the original configuration of the firmware YOU LAST INSTALLED (including any updates made via update.zip). This will NOT bring your phone back to the firmware installed when you originally bought it unless you haven't flashed your phone.
You can navigate the recovery screen using VolumeUp & VolumeDown and use the Home button to select.

i did the factory reset and when i power on the phone it shows the "S" and just after that its black screen.
help plz

Also got a problem with my phone after updating to froyo 2.2 and then trying to apply a lag fix. Phone starts and I get the flashing S logo then the screen goes blank. Phone occasionally vibrates. Trying the Button Press listed above I'm not getting any options on my screen.

Please invest some effort in trying to solve this yourself. Read posts like these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870233, there are many many posts which describe to flash stock roms with Odin

Mine is now 100% bricked with the Screenshot. Did get adb to see the phone and got recovery mode up, didn't know what to do next really with Odin not sure how that software operates or how to re-install files. So unplugged the phone and now after some research thought I'd have another go but oh no its got the logo on it now.

Look 2 posts up ("help me unbrick my Galaxy") and read about Odin. As long as you can get into recovery or download, your Galaxy is not bricked (more a matter of its owner being clueless)

Can't get into download or recovery mode, phone only has that image of the phone computer and exclamation mark now. Odin can't see phone if I connect it to PC. ADB can't locate the device either. Mine is totally bricked.
Wish I hadn't bothered with the upgrade to Froyo 2.2, my phone was operating okay on 2.1. Guess I'll have to call T Mobile in the morning to arrange for a repair/replacement of this handset.

If you could enter download mode before (volume DOWN + home + power), i don't see why you can't now. Pull out your sim card, external sd card and battery, wait a few minutes, then put battery in and try to open download mode. Then just flash whichever firmware you want via odin, and it'll work. I bricked mine two times today , also showed that image with an exclamation mark between a phone and computer.

I couldn't get download mode or recovery on my phone via the button press method. I got it up by having the phone on computer and using the adb command method. As Computer can no longer see the phone I can't use this method to get back to formatting and re-flashing the file.

Please spend some time to read it.

Touch Screen Stopped Working

Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers

Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s

Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".

Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS

Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.

If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.

Recovery in Chinese

Hi all,
Got this phone last week. It's been really laggy and basically unusable, it even lags when receiving calls and I miss half of them from being unable to answer. I was advised to wipe the cache partition, but the recovery menu is in Chinese. I got in touch with Motorola support who first tried to get me to delete all my data in the Chinese recovery menu, then gave me instructions to wipe the partition in English which I can't follow because the menu is in Chinese, and then said they couldn't help further. I can't find any other examples of Motorola phones with a Chinese recovery menu online.
Really not sure what to do!
Thanks for reading.

When I pressed power+volume down, phone booted into some Chinese screen, but it was not recovery, it was I think a testing menu. You might have pressed the same buttons. To boot to recovery, press power+volume up, this will launch a menu, keep pressing volume up to select recovery, then press volume down to launch recovery, after launching recovery you'll see no command screen, there you should hold power button and press volume up, this will launch recovery. Hope it helps.

That worked, thank you! Motorola were less than useless. Much appreciated.

In case it helps anyone, I fixed the lagging today by installing a new version of google play services, which I found by googling. Made everything better.

Please confirm which version of Google Play services you installed as I have the same problem.

You have to hold Power button and tap volume up. Don't press both buttons simultaneously, hold Power, while holding Power tap volume up. If it does not work, then a system update might have changed the process (though highly unlikely I think).

Stock images for e3 Power are available somewhere in the forum. Try flashing stock images. By the way there is no need to format userdata while flashing recovery.

Okay i managed to figure it out spent 5 houres or so had to use SP_Flash_TooL and some USB VCOM drivers for phone this can only be used on MTK chips.

trust me i just saw this post every google search is saying stuff about pressing volume down like it works XDA developers are life and life savers been using this since like 8 years ago and it still going strong had to leave my first comment

My huawei y511-u30 mobile is showing chineese in recovery mode and its not working also. As i want to flash my rom unable to get device detected by pc also

SM-930F Won't reboot, can't be flashed and won't start up due FGP Lock.

Hi!
I've got an Samsung Galaxy S7 since 2017.
Due to an app i wanted to use i tried to Root my phone. It did work but not all apps worked properly so i tried to unroot it.
As it did seem to work but i was still a bit sceptic i decided to do a factory reset to completely empty it.
While doing the factory reset my phone crashed... also found out that i didn't have my OEM allowance on so i can't even enter my phone anymore as it says Custom binary locked by FRP Lock.
I emptied the data / cache and tried to factory reset but it wouldn't do anything.
I tried flashing my phone with the samsung firmware for the S7 with odin, BUT my phone doesn't respond at all.
it just keeps standing on Downloading... do not turn off target. Even if Odin tries to write onto the phone nothing happens, even tho the downloader should respond. Tried different Cables as well. As of now i have no idea what to do left to get in there. i tried for hours, tried different firmwares, but nothing responds... Anyone having tips for me?

When you tried with oden where you in download mode or still on the boot screen with the lock message?
You can't flash if your not in download mode.
to get in download you shoud normally by pressing the Volume Down, Home and Pose On/Off button together for about 3-4 seconds.
Once the Download screen appears, press Volume Up button to continue.
you could give this a try
Press the Power On/Off button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 5-7 seconds as shown below.
Wait for the phone to reboot and start again normally.
See that the Custom Binary Block error message does not pop-up this time.
if not then you could try .
Another useful way to bypass/remove the FRP Lock error is to perform a factory reset on your phone. This can be implemented by booting into the Recovery Mode. To do so:
Long press the Power On/Off, Home and Volume Up button together and was for a screen with multiple options appear before you.
Now use the Volume Down key to scroll down and select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” using the Power On/Off button as shown in the screenshot below.
Wait patiently for the process to get over and for your phone to restart normally.
Note: you will lose all your data and setting stored in the phone after performing a factory/ hard reset.
Be prepared to set-up your phone from scratch after the process is over.

Unable to enter recovery via ADB method after OREO UPDATE.

Hi,
I have a LG V20 (LG-h990DS) and have recently received the OREO update.
I am trying to get into the recovery mode to wipe the dalvik cache.
I have tried using the ADB method. I get to the screen with "No Command" and the little android robot. From there no combination of key pressed seems to have any effect to accessing the recovery method. Holding volume up and pressing power has no effect eventually restarting the phone. I have done this recently before the update, but this menu does not seem be accessible now.
Can someone please help? What is the correct key press combination as I maybe doing something wrong?
Thanking you in advance.

Sounds like you are going into stock recovery. Is your phone rooted? If it was an you updated it with stock firmware it probably replaced the recovery with stock recovery. You will need to go through the process of installing twrp again.
Oreo doesn't use davlik runtime anymore and has switched to android just in time compilers. If you are trying to do a master reset, you can always try
with phone off
power button and volume down press and hold
when you see the lg splash screen
release only the power button and press power button again (while holding volume down)
it should ask to reset the phone - with stock recovery, this will wipe all data from the phone so you better have everything backed up. With twrp installed it will actually start twrp recovery.
