My tab is stuck in Factory Mode. I have tried factory resetting it many times. Clean wiping it many times. (ODIN...Recovery) nothing seems to get it out of this mode. Stupid app that looks like the calculator is there to put in codes (Its the 1st pic in the link below)
Pics are in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322816
My Tablet is the P7510 16GB WIFI ONLY model in Canada.
I have tried the factory reset code *2767*3855# that resets the tablet but again its still there.
Can anyone give me the code to get out of this mode.
(Taken from the other posted link above as I have the same problem) I have an app called factory mode that seems to launch some sort of calculator. I am unable to lock the screen at all now. No matter what lock screen setting I try the screen never locks. Pushing the power button powers down the device in an instant. No more popup asking if I want to power down. I've tried a factory reset, but during the reset it's complaining about not having access to some directory. After the factory reset runs its course I'm back to square one. I'm not asked to setup wifi, create an account or anything.
Please I need that code to get out of this mode.
I have tried re flashing the stock 3.1 and 3.2 through recovery and ODIN
Nothing is working for me.
UPDATE:
I returned it to Samsung and got it fixed. Funny thing is that my tablet is now running 3.2 stock Samsung firmware.
I know for fact in Canada we don't have the 3.2 update for the wi-fi tablet. I must say I was impressed with Samsung's support team and the replacement unit I got back in return.
Can anybody help me out with this please!
Did it come in "factory mode" when you bought it?? Never heard of this...
No it wasn't until recently that it has that factory mode app on the home screen after a fresh reset everytime. I called Samsung about it and they said send it in. I hope they just re flash it or give me a new tab 10.1
Does anyone know how to do this? Same thing has happened to me in the UK. Has been sent back to me after repair with the bootloader unlocked and factory mode running.
I really dont want to send it back as ive already done that twice
i dont know what Factory mode is, but my 2 cents are as follows:
Fastboot flash a custom recovery and just flash a stock rom. that's what i would try first. i would imagine that would essentially format the device back to stock.
That's what I have tried. I used CWM then flashed a stock EU and US rom. Still factory mode. Any other ideas?
Can anyone help out on this? Where would this 'Factory Mode' be set? NVFLASH?

is there a solution to this? i have the same problem.
flash newest cwm, restock to nov ver. stock firmware, let it boot then reflash to newest stock, let it boot.
then finally put the overcome 2.1.1
don't forget to wipe all in between install
it should do the trick.... in theory at least... but hey nothin to lose right?

Do you mean flash an old firmware then let it update itself? Then the team overcome custom rom?
i don't think this will work. this "factory mode" is set somewhere "by Samsung" and is not changed whenever we put new rom or kernel or recovery. it seems to me that this happens on very few instances, but all mentioning it was returned that way coming from hardware related repair "from Samsung".
seems to me there are others who have this "unlockable" issue.

did anybody took some time to seriously think about this? can samsung be the only ones that can remove this factory mode?
Just my overdue update on this thread.
I haven't been to Samsung to have them take off the Factory Mode. I don't think I will be entertained there for this issue.
I flashed the "Galaxy Task 13 Slim" custom ROM, which can be obtained from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340064
The latest version there as of this post is already Galaxy Task 14, but when I attempted it I lost the lock screen again, hence I reverted back to version 13.
Galaxy Task 13 fixes the missing lock screen issue. So far that's the only solution I know, but "factory mode" still remains even after rom installations, so still stuck on that mode. Anyways aside from that icon (which can be removed), no difference. Unless more knowledgeable devs here can say what advantage are to be in "Factory Mode".

Before I get flamed or eaten up by people who I have so inconvenienced their day by creating a question that has been asked before, I have searched for this.
On the site, and on Google itself for a solution to my problem. So please bare with me and help me out, if you can.
I own an Optimus V. The phone is rooted, but it has no custom ROM installed onto it at all. I had the CM ROM manager, but that was it.
I wanted to factory reset my phone because I was having texting issues, so first thought to mind, lemme just go ahead and reset it. #stupid
Now, the LG logo flashes, fades away and then I am stuck at a black screen (the LCD is still on) and it doesn't go away. I have tried holding home button + volume down + lock button, and home button + volume up + lock button, and even when I press the camera button it occasionally turns on and off. All of the threads here about this issue are all from phones that had custom ROMs flashed onto them, and are all about getting the recovery onto the SD card and installing your ROM off the card.
I don't want that. I just want my phone to turn on again after its reset...
Please help
Also, some information I may have been missing:
The phone is rooted with Gingerbreak 1.2.
If this means anything, I received a replacement phone after September first due to a past issue, so I'm not sure if it has the newer screen or not. Also, I might have put recovery from Clockwork Mod. I'm not sure though, but as stated before, I have not installed any custom ROMs on to this phone.
I factory reset this phone a few months ago while rooted with the same options (although I didn't have the CM ROM manager...).
In other words, as far as I know, I probably did put recovery from Clockwork Mod. I really don't want to go out and buy a new phone
If your phone is just rooted and you do a factory reset it shouldn't hurt the phone at all, If your phone is rooted and have clock work mod installed and did a factory reset it shouldn't hurt the phone at all, when you do a factory reset to a phone all it is doing is erasing info, apps, contacts etc...its not deleting or restoring system files. Now you say that you did a factory reset and now there's a black screen and you can not go into clock work mod (cwm)? did you have cwm flashed from rom manager? I do not understand what you mean "I had the CM ROM manager, but that was it" Do you mean you had clock work mod or just rom manger? Sounds to me like you didn't have clock work mod on your phone at all, when you root your phone flash clock work mod, it can save alot of headaches, if you had cwm you could of just flashed a new custom rom. If you have a warranty for that phone just take it back and tell them it doesn't work and your having problems. I have taken my phone back a couple times at radio shack and it was soft brick and they didn't even notice. Sounds to me like its just a faulty phone that you bought (its normal it happens) nothing that you did at all, hope this helps

First of all: How did you "factory reset" your phone? And sorry to ask, but how can it be that you do not know if you have custom recovery or not? As far as I know the only way to factory reset the phone is to enter the custom recovery and choose the corresponding option, or to start the stock LG recovery which would do this automatically. So how can you not know after having reset which recovery did it?
Anyway, since you are stuck now, there seems no other possibility than unbricking your phone using kdz (please search in the sticky section) or getting it to service.
I assume he ment Factory reset from the options in the phone...settings/privacy/factory reset

O.k. ... in my (german) P500 this option - which I was not aware of until now - would have to be translated to "reset memory/storage", but not "factory reset" which I only knew from custom recovery. Anyway, in my opinion this should not be capable of bricking a device, because all it should do is delete the /data partition.
And even more it should under no circumstances be capable of corrupting the recovery partition... therefore I can only repeat my previous suggestions (assuming that accessing recovery is not working):
1) Try unbricking using kdz; or
2) Go to LG service.
Considering the description of the thread starter I would believe that the hardware is defective.
One other thing to the thread starter: What do you mean by "lock" button? The power button? The combo for accessing recovery is holding home+vol- and then pressing power until recovery starts. And what do you mean by "camera" button??? There is no such button on my P500 at least... And what does it mean when you say the device starts when pressing this "camera" button?
Mine says factory data reset, that's what I'm trying to understand why and how it bricked

This problem actually caused me to go out and buy another i9100 (which i've successfully rooted multiple times, so I don't think my process is wrong). I'm just trying to get it working so i can have a spare. I've tried searching and couldn't find anything relating to this problem.
Firstly, the problem is like the phones memory is locked. It works completely normally, but if there are any data changes (send/receive messages, install apps, take pictures, change settings... or even deleting things), as soon as the phone is restarted, everything is restored back to the state it was in on 9th November. I don't think the date is relevant to the problem, however
Taking that into account, I'm trying to fix my phone by rooting it and installing a fresh OS on top, but because of this "locked memory" anything i do is ineffective.
I've tried to go into download mode and flash CF-Root onto it, which appears successful, but when it boots back up it's as if nothing happened - no superuser app, no triangle at boot screen. See here: hxxx://i.imgur.com/M0LKW.jpg
I've also tried SuperOneClick. It goes through its process but hangs after "rooting device step#7". See here :hxxx://i.imgur.com/XcPwO.jpg
Entering recovery mode and performing a factory reset doesn't do anything
Deleting everything on the internal SD through windows doesn't do anything.
So because I can't get root, I can't flash CWM or a new OS on top and i'm stuck with a phone which won't change. If i use the phone normally, after a few days it gets stuck in a crash loop (crashes, hit force close, app relaunches and crashes immediately, repeat) and i'm forced to restart. See here: hxxx://i.imgur.com/ACFl5.jpg
I'm out of ideas. Is there anything else I can try?

After flashing a stock firmware via Odin your phone booted up like nothing happened? It's quite impossible I tell you, you must have done something wrong, you must download a stock firmware for your phone (according to region if required) go into download mode flash the tar.md5 file selecting PDA in Odin don't check re partition tick factory reset, and after flashing your phone should be having a new stock rom, try jb or gingerbread stock if the problem persist (logically it shouldn't).
Locked memory huh good name, if you're memory is resetting because of a hardware fault then we can't do anything except send it to the service center, could you post a link to a video of this particular problem it's hm.. You know it's quite unbelievable and maybe a video of your phone resetting itself could maybe stir up some developers who know a bit of hardware.

Hi everyone,
I have a Galaxy S II from Bell Canada and it was recently updated via Kies to Android 4.1.2 a couple weeks ago. I've been having all sorts of problems with it since the update, including random freezing, crashing, and so on, so I intended to backup and factory reset this weekend. Before I could do that however, it shutdown and now I can't boot it back up.
Symptoms:
- The phone gets past the Samsung Galaxy S II animation, but then goes immediately to the glowing SAMSUNG logo and stays that way for several minutes before shutting down.
- Battery power is not an issue. Half-full to full battery makes no difference.
- Connecting it to my PC allows Windows 7 to install most of the needed drivers, except it fails on 'MTP USB device failed'. This might simply be because the phone doesn't fully boot.
What I've tried:
- Multiple reboots (shutdown and restart)
- Removing the SD card and multiple reboots
- Wiping the cache partition several times and booting via the stock recovery menu (reached by Volume + Home + Power)
I have backups but from several months ago, so anything I can do to flash the firmware and retain my data would be appreciated. I've looked at other threads but many users seem to have slightly different issues or are with other carriers. I haven't played around with flashing or anything since getting the phone two years ago, so I don't know how much of a difference their steps would be from mine.
The phone is either just inside the warranty period or just outside... I don't have the exact date if that makes a difference here.
Any help tracking down the issue or helping to get it back to functional would be appreciated.
Firstly, from your post it looks your phone is not rooted. If that is the case then i am afraid we are left with not much options to try.
I would advise, if u want to come out of this issue and data is not the concdrn then do a hard reset by getting into the recovery console.
And, if you are rooted than simply reinstall the rom without resetting anything. This will bring back the rom and you will also not loose any data.

That's correct, the phone isn't rooted. I'd like to exhaust all other options before attempting something that will wipe the data... is it possible to determine the exact problem some other way?
Nope. If it were me I'd be doing a wipe (and this wouldn't faze me because I back my stuff up regularly).

Looks difficult to save the data. But you may try, i am not sure it will work.
find out a compatible rooted kernel. Get into the download mode and with the help of odin flash this kernel. (ensure its *.tar file ).
Once done try to boot the phone. if no luck, clear the cache and then again try. Still no luck, then i am afraid you have to hard reset.
Best of luck.
I recently went to unlock my phone via Z3X box, my phone was on 4.3 they said to downgrade to 4.1, I followed the steps using Cygwin Terminal in making a custom firmware, I flashed it via Odin and it passed, however was stuck at the Samsung Logo, no usally in this case I would boot into recovery and wipe data and cache, however my Home Button does not work, so I used my Jig to force in to download mode and flashed stock I747m 4.3, went to boot and same thing stuck at the Samsung logo???? any ideas what's wrong here???

Tried to factory reset after the 4.3 upgrade? Sounds like you might have borked your EFS partition with the z3x box, if a reset doesn't help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421
Some info from there might be helpful if you are still stuck. I know it is for the Note 3, but many of the same ideas apply, though the mount points are most likely different thus you can't just copy and paste those commands and hope it works (might even make it worse if the partitions are that different).
Is the Home button broken or just stopped working after trying to do this stuff?
Yeah the Home button just doesn't work when you press it that's why I needed the Jig to get in to Download Mode, and the phone was fine after trying with Z3X box it didn't do anything with Samsung tools because I was on 4.3 it started when I created that custom firmware and flashed it, haven't been able to get it to boot since that even with Stock Firmware..
Think you might need to check out this thread then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Sounds like an issue with the downgrade / bootloader deal. No Home button sounds like it might really cause some issues here though. Owning a repair shop, I'm pretty familiar with the S3 construction and it's pretty rare that the Home button stops working. Has it been repaired or gotten wet or something?
the phone was water damaged I just replaced the main board with a new one and the phone was fine minus the Home Button, and I have tried the SD card thing about 3 times now and it doesn't do anything???
Hello all...hoping to get some assistance with this thing. Long story short, debloated it due to horrid battery life and high heat. Everything was great until about a week ago when my settings app go renamed somehow. Tried fixing it but couldn't find the com.android.settings file with the correct signature for my phone (AT&T, US Model, unlocked, not rooted).
It's been working fine except no settings...so I backed up the usual stuff and had plans to do a factory reset this weekend. A few hours ago I picked it up and it went all wonky on me. Upon boot, it comes up to the lock screen and then the screen just starts turning on/off. I'm unable to bring up the passcode screen...but, am able to bring up the power menu by holding the power button. But, can't power down or get into safe mode that way. After about 5 seconds of doing this, it reboots. Rinse and repeat. Safe mode via buttons starts, but, does the same thing.
I am able to get into both recovery mode and download mode though. I can view logs/etc.
Normally, I'd just ***** and moan, then do the factory reset, However, I made one huge oversight when I backed up my data earlier this week and forgot to backup my notes. There's about a dozen of them, pages and pages long with all the medical details regarding my sons illness that I've been tracking for years. It's a nightmare dealing with different Dr's all the time so I've logged it all on the phone. Unfortunately, the best app I've found for it doesn't do cloud storage and keeps them saved as local txt files on the device.
Is there any hope I can somehow pull the files using recovery/download mode or utilize the logs to determine the errors and fix it enough to be able to get them? I'm fairly tech savvy and have ADB installed. I'm super ADD though and my head is just spinning trying to sort through all the possible posts regarding trying to do this...many being for older phones.
Absolute worst case, is there a legitimate service that would be able to do it?
Any help recovering my son's medical notes would be really really appreciated.

Sience you have access to recovery, did you try to wipe only cache partition and hit repair apps(also in recovery)?

Yeah...that's the first thing I tried after safe mode failed. :\
There's quite a few folks reporting similar issues since the last OTA update a couple weeks ago.
Usually I delay until I get a chance to restore then allow it...this one didn't even give me a chance. I was using my phone when it popped up. No option to remind me later. When I tried to exit it counted down from 10, rebooted and installed.

Thanks for the idea. But, yeah, tried that to already...cleared cache and repaired apps afterwards too. Tried it with cable, tried a 2.0 cable too.
No dice.
The app repair works just fine and then it does the same thing when lock screen tries to appear.

Only thing that came to my mind is to download latest firmware for your device than flash it via odin
EDIT: but be carefull with that. Odin have box to untick factory reset but i didnt do that a loooooooooong time so i dont know if something is changed

Yeah, I figured that'd be my last shot at it... I've read the horror stories of tripping Knox even with factory firmware.
Was just really hoping there was some way to yank the stuff using recovery or download modes.

I think that you can't trip Knox only when you flash official firmware over unlocked bootloader and custom ROM, but I'm not so sure.
Last time I did that is when I had Samsung Galaxy S2 and flashing official firmware over official firmware and that didn't trip the Knox counter
Does flashing genuine firmware trip knox?
Hi It's been a while since I bothered flashing firmware so I am not upto date with how things work now. My questions are I am currently on 02s version of firmware and would like to go samsungs version so I can take part in things like the one...

Here you can see that flashing official firmware over official firmware(i'm guessing that you are not rooted) won't trip knox counter
