Hi everybody.
I have recently brought a Nook Tablet. I rooted it,far so good,then i unroot it and here there is the problem.It restart but when i go to register my e-mail and password comes out a notification:"sorry we're having trouble setting up your nook.please shutdown the device and try again.if problem persists,contact customer support at...". I do the hard reset many times, but nothing.I contact the support and they cancelled the e-mail associated(i hope that they did) but the problem persist
What should i do? next week my uncle return in America,and if you can help me quickly i would be grateful,i want resolve, no bring it back. thanks
I did a hard reset....you can find it here on the forum (do a search)
Sound like a deep sleep from NC. Make sure your NT is charged at least 15 minutes. In the case of deep sleep, turn the volume up to hear if the device is on when the screen is not. Hold the power button for 20 seconds, release then do hold the power button until the screen turn on. If it does not work, you can still do a full factory restore even if the screen is not on.
TRY holding vol down + power for around 8 secs
i've done a full factory restore more times. When i register my e-mail with password, always comes out the error. Is not a problem of B&N server? In each case it's possible to root without registration ? maybe start the tablet directly by the micro-sd?
So I was working on my nt and opened tapatalk and the screen went dead. I used the method above (hold pwr for 20 sec, then hold pwr until it turns on) and this worked for me.
I think that the problem is the registration!The Nook starts well, when i put the e-mail comes out the error. I try all ways to reset the tablet but the problem persist
There is a way to start without registration?
so what was the solution? I do have the same problem. Did factory restore a few times but still the same error as andrea89 had. I did root before 1.4.1 update, restored 1.4.0 as here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190. Rooted again. to get rid of N button inoperative work I restarted 8 times my Nook. and Now the same problem as andrea89...Please help!
I resolved the problem by-passing the registration. Search the video how doing.

this might seem obvious but why not just make another bn.com account?
It isn't obvious because the video is recently. I tried to register with another account but it didn t work.
Another account did not work. I used the video to bypass registration as well. Worked great!
It just randomly shut off earlier this afternoon. Everytime I try to turn it on with the power button, nothing happens. When I try to boot into TWRP/download mode, it just vibrates and flashes the samsung logo and then goes black. I can't seem to find any information as to what else to try. I don't have a jig and the earliest one would be shipped on amazon is Thursday. Any ideas?
wow, so i had been reading threads for the last hour and finally stumbled upon some guy with the same issue and he figured out it was that his power button was stuck. i just pushed in my power button really hard for about 5 seconds and jiggled it and it finally worked. my phone just turned on as normal after doing that. great, sounds like ANOTHER samsung issue with the power button. this will be my 3rd different samsung device that i've had issues with the power button - a captivate, infuse, and now the note. i send about 20,000 texts a month, so i'm constantly pressing the power button to turn the screen on and off. i will need to look for an app that allows me to use the volume button as the power button hopefully in case this happens again.
I had a samsung tablet that had the bad power button getting stuck too.

Use Flappjaxxx UCLF6 rom....build #5....
It's ICS 4.0.4 with a "bunch " of extras .....volume wake included .....g http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
Theres and app that allows you to swipe your hand across the screen to turn on/off.... Its in the app section.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Be careful using apps that wake your device using homescreen touch or movement .
It generally means that your phone never goes into deep sleep...
And the battery life will be greatly reduced ....as the device technically never turns off ....g

Hello everyone,
we got this cheap tablet for my niece as a Christmas gift. She put a password on it and now she doesnt remember the password. It is connected to one of my gmail accounts, but I cant even get the tablet to give me an option to bypass device password via my gmail and password.
I have attempted to use the reset button to factory reset the device, but every time it reboots it asks for the password again.
I am about to throw the thing in the trash and tell my niece "sorry, you borked it, too bad so sad" but I thought I would try here before I did that.
Thanks in advance!

I kept messing with it, and after trying the power + volume down process about 25 times I finally got it to take and entered into recovery. It didnt work at all the first bunch of times I tried it, basically this thing is annoying.
Thank you!

So I was having the same problem. It turns out that you do not press the volume up button along with the power button, but instead press the volume button in the middle along with the power button. Found that on a you tube video.
That resets the device to factory settings.
Note: If you have a memory card in the device, take it out before you start all this process so it doesn't lose data.
Sophix Tablet is made by digix media but I didn't find their website helpful to reset the password. Their website had me downloading zip files to my computer, etc. Very lengthy and time consuming.
Hope this helps someone else!
Have had lots of problems with 2 v30's bought off ebay. This last one I can not acess anything pushing volume down and power, just keeps looping or will boot up. I have refurbished with latest us998 kdz on refurbish, but that didnt fix above problem, anyone know how to restore that part? Thanks for the help...
From Off, Vol Down + Pwr, then as soon as LG V30 logo appears, release PWR and reapply and hold.
Is that what yer doing?

Its supposed to alow me to manually get to restore settings and factory reset when cant get to settings in android per lg email before you helped me do lgup. Since imei and serial number dont match i probably will go back and try to unlock bootloader etc and turn this into an mp3 etc player. Or try to make it a verizon phone for my service.
I think because its supposed to be there but isnt it bothers me maybe more than it should

You can also do Master Reset.
Master Reset -- using buttons:
1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
3. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.
4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

To my knowledge, Master Reset is more powerful version of Factory Reset.
EDIT: it may or may not be factory reset with hardware buttons, but is still referred to as Master Reset in all OEM and carrier documentation.

I don't think there's any difference Matt. Just 2 ways of doing it. 1 is with phone on select reset thru the menu options, the other is with the key combo.
While diff LG phones may use diff key combo's to factory reset, I've never seen anything for the V30 than exactly what we've been using, and it's always referred to as 'factory reset', the only time I've read it referred to as 'master reset' is in a few of the threads (WTF) here.
It seems to me, if there was a difference, it would be well known? And we'd have some idea of what exactly the difference is? But we don't.

Well, somebody tried recovery GUI factory reset in Frankenstein recently instead of "Master Reset" and messed up their phone. They also mistakenly flashed Oreo first, instead of Nougat. So, while it may be the same, I go with what works.

I'm not saying do one over the other, just that they are probably both exactly the same, anecdotal evidence notwithstanding. If the key combo one has worked in the past, by all means, keep using it. But if there's no actual confirmed evidence indicating it does anything other than a simple factory reset, why call it something else?
doing so, imho, just adds more unnecessary complexity.

Because all the LG OEM and carrier documentation calls it something else. Everyone specifically calls it Master Reset.
Two examples of many:
(T-mobile) Master reset with hardware keys
(Verizon) Master Reset (Powered Off)
It may indeed be a "factory reset", but it can be done without going into Recovery menu -- which on the V30 is hard to do with the button dance.

It **is** just a factory reset. Even the documentation above indicates it as such:
"The Factory data reset screen appears."
I'm not suggesting people use the Recovery Menu. Just that calling it something other than 'factory data reset' leads people to believe its somehow different. It's not. The documentation says as much.
I'd suggest this: Say something like "I've always used the following key combination to do a factory reset, and recommend it as it's always worked"....
And leave it at that. As it's nothing more.
Ok either way i tried it and the other way still doesn't give me a menu, no big thing time to move on to the next. So i can now lgup to latest verizon?

There is actually one HUGE difference between Factory Reset from the Settings menu and Master Reset using the Button Dance: The latter invokes Factory Reset Protection (FRP) while the former does not. In other words: If a Google account was registered in the device when Master Reset (Button Dance) is performed, the phone will be locked down until that same account has been entered after the reset. The same is true of any other wipe initiated outside the OS.
If Factory Reset is performed from the Settings menu, the device is released from that account before being wiped, and Factory Reset Protection is not invoked. The same thing can be accomplished by manually removing the account BEFORE performing the Master Reset: Settings > General > Accounts > Google > Remove account.
At least in the US, this is required by law to deter theft (to my understanding).
Whether there are other differences between the two in their actual wiping, I do not know.
There IS a deeper Engineering reset available from the Service Menu: Dial *#546368#*932# (replace 932 with your model number). From there SVC Menu > Factory Reset (R&D Only). I used that once to overcome a stubborn carrier lock issue. But I cannot guarantee that it doesn't do other things that might be undesirable.

I have a little experience with the FRP lock thing. Sold a phone that iirc, did the reset through the settings->menu with phone on.
Assumed, like all other phones I've had, it was completely reset. It was not. The buyer sent me emails in a panic assuming I was trying to rip them off or something. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
This is why, I always suggest to people, remove any accounts (google email etc) AND any finger prints, patterns etc PRIOR to doing a reset.
I honestly don't remember which way I did the reset on that phone, a G6, I *think* it was the settings->menu. Could be wrong, it's been quite a while.
But I think the context in which we are talking about 'factory reset'... the phone isn't being sold later. If the reset protection did somehow bizarrely get invoked, simple solution, enter the password for your email account, done.
But yes, the FRP lock thing is an important aspect to this. It came as a shock to me when I thought the phone was completely reset, but it wasn't. Frustrating experience.
Cheers

Thank you.
It does sound like you may have performed a Master Reset outside the OS when you sold that G6. That would cause exactly the situation the seller described. And it can be very annoying.
I made that mistake myself one time, performing a Master Reset (Button Dance) before sending my phone to LG service to replace a camera lens. I just didn't give any thought to the fact that it might be a problem. After trying for several days, they were unable to get into the phone or do anything with it. They ended up ditching it and sending me a refurbished phone instead. Lesson learnt!
Absolutely, the context here is a different one. But I think it makes sense to distinguish the two procedures (as @ChazzMatt was doing) since they are indeed different -- if nothing else in regards to FRP.

I'm still calling it Master Reset for the Frankenstein instructions. And yes, it's somehow slightly different from the Recovery settings "factory reset". Just a little tired of debating it.
In the Frankenstein instructions, you are doing that step to stabilize then go to the next firmware. It's your phone you want to convert to another variant.

I agree with that. And I apologize for re-opening the debate. I just thought that difference with FRP was important in general -- even if not applicable to the OP's case.
But then there is also the Engineering Reset, which I can testify does things beyond the normal Factory Reset / Master Reset. It's worth keeping in mind as a last resort.
Over & out then

my xperia iii just started acting up. I tried to log in to siriusxm and the screen timed out because I was away for a bit. I tried to turn the screen back on when it got stuck in accessibility mode with the screen off and constantly fired the Google assistant. pushing and holding power does nothing except fire off the assistant three more times. if I can't get it to come back to me I can do a factory reset since I just received this phone yesterday and haven't done much with it. anything I can do here?
This isn't normal behavior. If you can return it.
Assuming you didn't install something stupid it's likely a firmware or hardware issue.
+ 1
Was this a new device? Rooted?
Are you sure that you long pressed the power button and not the Google Assistant button by mistake?

Try pushing and holding power + vol up until it vibrates it'll force restart the device.
1. bought via swappa, listed as mint.
2. unrooted
3. it was the power button. it's below the volume rocker, first button on the side. the assistant is the second (and smaller) button on the side.
4. eventually the phone unfucked itself. I did nothing but wait. this actually happened a second time later on except this time the screen displayed my wallpaper at least. I rebooted as soon as I had control and so far so good. I will try power + vol up next time. btw I'm guessing it may have been a software issue. I was moving from a note 8 that had a bixby specific app that got transferred and activated. however a similar thing happened to me with a galaxy tab 4 (without any kind of software mod) so I don't know. I had to wait for that device to unfuck itself too.

Try Safe Mode. It will temporarily disable a lot of user-space configurations that can cause boot loops. It's good for broken launchers, bad widgets, impossible settings, etc.
Take the microSD card out too. Google worked hard to disable expandable storage starting with Android 11. There's the floppy-disk-slow, absolutely useless SAF and nothing else. Performance workarounds from other phones, even if they're as simple as legacy mount options, will cause bootloops.
