Why won't this feature work on my phone, I have put the update.pkg on the root of my sd card, but when I select the option in the menu the screen just goes blank and does nothing?
I'm sure to go in to factory reset or update via sd card u hold volume rocker and the power button .
Sometimes it dosent find the update file on the sd card u have to try a few times or leave the phone to rest for a while before u try and update again.
finding update on sd card
Yes, when you are going to boot you press and hold both volume buttons and press the power button also
Continue pressing until your menu comes and it should automatically have the option highlighted to update.
You then press the camera button to choose what is highlighted. What should come up is a menu of what is on your SD card and there you should see your "update.pkg" file. You use your volume keys to scroll up and down the menu.
Once you have highlighted the correct file, you once again press the camera button and the process should begin.
Im pretty sure this is the right procedure, I haven't done it in a while because I have StreakMod installed, which is just a different recovery image, but the manipulation of the recovery process is the same.
Please correct me people if I'm wrong...
You're essentially correct. However, there is no file list that pops up when you hit the update option. What does pop up is a mention that you're going to flash the update, and to hold the volume up button down to shut the Streak off if you don't want to.
Cheers guys figured it out, seemed to work fine after I flashed the recovery image in flashmode.
Hey XDA! my friend is currently locked out of my LG MyTouch. The phone came out a little over a week ago so there's no forum dedicated to it yet, so I'm posting here.
She used a pattern lock and can't remember the Pattern nor her Gmail account or her password. With the past two Android phones I had, I would just Boot into recovery (Vol. Down & Power button), but this phone won't load into one. I also tried Vol. Up and Power. Nothing. I then tried both, but it went into the "S/W Upgrade" screen. Is there anyway to bypass this without having to send it back?
Thanks a lot for time guys! Hope you can help.
Hey daft
im locked out too, and cant find a way to do a factory reset :S did you solve your problem?if so..how!!
did a quick search for you. didnt render any answers. try existing methods for entering recovery mode.
1.volume down+power
2.volume up +power
volume up+down+power
the phone deff has to have a recovery system. once u get in there use the volume down button to highlight factory reset then push power
then highlight wipe data/cache and hit power. when finished reboot system now
hope this helps

also if you are familiar with adb you can navigate to adb then type adb reboot recovery
hello
Vabeach, thanks i've already tried all of those:S
volume up and power
volume down and power
both of them dont do a thing :S
and when i try the volume up + down + power....the phone goes into S/W upgrading... could it be that i need to do the upgrade and then itll let me do the factory reset? :s
Try this. Hold volume down and power. Keep holding until the lg logo comes up. Once that goes away release both buttons

finally the t-mobile page decided to tell us how....
i tried the link but it wont let me post..so ill paste it
A master reset (factory reset) restores the original factory settings and erases all user data (including settings and downloaded content) stored in the phone's internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available).
Note: If the handset is locked, frozen, or unresponsive, you can perform a master reset using the hardware keys instead of the menu.
Note: Timing is critical in pressing/releasing keys.
To perform a master reset using hardware keys, follow these steps:
Back up all necessary data. See: Preparing for a master reset on Android.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power keys.
Wait 3 seconds and press the Back and Menu keys.
Note: If you see the LG logo before pressing the Back and Menu keys, the reset hasnt been completed and you will need to restart.
Release the Power/Lock key after you see the LG logo.
Release the remaining keys after the LG logo flashes (blinks once).
The Android Unpacking screen appears.
The phone will restart and complete the factory reset.
Note: If you unintentionally press the Volume Down, Volume Up and Power keys simultaneously, the phone will display a circle icon with two arrows and 'S/W Upgrade, Please wait while upgrading...' message. You will need to pull the battery and restart.
it worked on the first try!
happy holidays
Glad u found the answer

My STS got stuck halfway while updating , which i don't understand why as I've reset the STS to factory setting before downloading the contents to update , is there anyway to resolve it ? Now on the screen is showing " Error (0x00010002). " which i can't even "Google" it to find WTH problem am i facing with . Personally been to the Service Center trice regarding problems with the tablet , doubting my tolerance limit if i have to go once again and wait for ages before hearing any news about it .....so any Pro Might have Any Idea what is the problem ?
To be clear, do you have a bricked device now?
Or does it still reboots?
Option for if it dont boot normally
1. Shut down your tan by long pressing power button
2. Wait for 5 seconds,
3. Press volume down + power button to get in recovery
4. Navigate with the volume rockers, and confirm your option with the power button
5. Search for factory reset, try that one,

Hard to think that just a game would cause that to happen, but weirder things have happened...
I found this:
How to boot device into Safe Mode.
1. Press and hold the Volume - button and power button (while device is on).
2. When screen turns black release the power button, but remain holding the Volume - button.
Device should boot into safe mode.
If this works for you, then you should be able to boot the tablet with just the preinstalled apps available and then you should be able to uninstall the game in question and reboot normally.

this is how my bootload looks like . (volume up+power button when the tablet is off) .
as you can see there is no format or anything :crying:
Well I'm not sure what your bootloader screen, which you have to use the opposite Volume button to get to, has to do with getting into Safe Mode, but ok...

Can you navigate to the Recovery option there? If so, your factory reset option should be there. I still think it would be able to boot into Safe Mode so you can just uninstall the offending app and not lose your data. But anyway, if those options don't work, you could try grabbing an update zip from Asus and see if applying that will get it going again.

What app did you install, by the way, so others might be warned against using it to avoid this situation...?

Typically, in stock recoveries, when you see the Android guy there's usually a button combo to get the commands for reboot, reset, update, etc to pop up. Usually this would be like hitting the Volume keys together or some combo of Volume and Power buttons. Unfortunately, there isn't that much info about this particular Asus tablet as the TF300 and TF700 that I am more familiar with, so can't tell you with absolutely certainy how to do it.

The OTA zip they supply doesn't appear to be able to installed via recovery, and they don't have a system.img for flashing. Here is my current thread on the issue.

Sorry about the OTA zip, I didn't read it closely enough for the install instructions. I don't know why you think the system is gone seeing as how the stock recovery can't wipe that partition...?

Mash volume up and down and power when in recovery.
The options are there (I know as I have the same tab) but I can't remember the combination
You can try and sideload the zip via recovery (I couldn't get ghat to work, got the same error)
Factory Reset from the Asus Manual
Backup and Reset
Back up data, Wi-fi passwords,and other Google servers using your Asus Tablet.
To do this:
1. Go to Settings>Backup and reset
2. From the Backup and reset window, you can:
Factory data reset: Erases all data on the tablet
Press both volume buttons to access recovery commands, find reboot with volume keys, press power to select. Done
Power lead out, Power down, hold volume down and power on, release power on when "In search of the incredible" screen shows, use volume button to select "Recovery Mode".
When Android with open stomach shows and "No Command" press and hold volume up and power button for 3 - 5 seconds then use volume button to scroll to wipe cache / wipe data use power until to select.
If it doesn't work try again until it does.

HELP! Blue Wave 8 33GT tablet stuck in recovery mode with "No command" message
I got my Blue Wave 8 33GT (not HD+) tablet completely bricked. First of all, I know this is not really a popular device and some of you might not have a single knowledge about this one, but I hope in any way you might help me get this device working again. Thank you in advance!
Some info about this device:
Bluewave's website: Wave 8
Android OS version: 4.4 KitKat
Device processor: Rockchip-based (RK31)
What just happened? It suddenly reboots while I'm playing and gone into recovery mode with an Android and a "No command." message. Now it won't boot the system anymore whenever I reboot, it always going into this recovery mode.
It has no volume buttons, just a reset, a hard back button and power button. Holding down the power and back button goes into the recovery mode directly. Through normal boot, it flashes the Bluewave logo twice then goes into the recovery. While the reset button immediately turn the device off. There's nothing else I can think of that I can do in this case.
My laptop can recognize it as an ADB Device in recovery mode and I think I may be able to flash it via Rockchip BatchTool, but the instructions I've read states that the device should be up and with a USB debugging enabled which I am not currently able to do in recovery mode. Device is rooted and working totally fine until this happened.
Anyone got into this kind of problem and able to go through it? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S
Just let me know if there are any additional info I could give you.
What about hard reset.

Hey! Thanks for your reply and time.
I tried every combination of either of the two keys but there is no such recovery menu showing up, and I am pretty sure that this device doesn't have a built-in recovery for factory reset.
If only I could go to its download mode stuff to be able to flash the firmware...

"Long press the power button to restart the device. If restarting fails, hard reset the tablet by poking the Reset hole using a pin. " it is from FAQ
maybe this could help.
1. Press the power button to get the option menu for
Power off
Reboot
Silence phone option.
2. on that menu you have to hold down that power off option on your touch screen while also holding down the home push button on the side of your tablet.
3. This brings up a screen to reboot into safe mode..(these are the 3 steps the company does not tell you that is why no one gets it to work.
4. HIt yes for safe mode and then hold down your power and home buttons on side of tablet till the dopo Logo appears.
5. Release both buttons and hit the power button one time and then hold only the home button down till a menu option appears.
6. Use the home button to move down to factory reset and press the power button to select. Once it says complete then use the power button to select reboot.
Problem solved. Hope this will help everyone out.
The only way is to remove the battery, attached again the battery then power it on their is no hard reset on blue wave the go to settings factory reset
