[Q] Cannot Complete Hard Reset From Recovery Mode - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched and could not find an answer to my problem.
I have not rooted my Atrix 4G. It is stock. I am selling for a friend on ebay and cannot complete the hard reset.
When I attempt to go into recovery mode by holding the down vol button and power button, it allows me to select Android recovery, however, once the Yellow Exclamation mark pops up and I try to tap bottom right corner...nothing happens.
I cannot seem to get the following menu to pop up so I can complete the reset. I have tried multiple times and no success.
My goal is to wipe the phone to Factory.
Any ideas?

It was my understanding that Gingerbread changed the menu location; instead of tapping the corner of the screen, you press volume up and volume down simultaneously to get the recovery menu. (I've replaced mine with romracer's recovery so I can't double-check, but pretty sure I read that somewhere here.)

That Worked
thanks for the help. Since I was locked out of the phone because I did not have the original SIM, this method worked.

CWM v5.0.2.3 is there but does nothing

I have a strange issue.
I followed this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18576627&postcount=1
Now I have CWM recovery v5.0.2.3 on my phone.
HOWEVER, The options are there but they do nothing. For example, I choose the power off option and I see this black hat and orange circle. I hit the power button again and it just goes back to the cwm menu. I tried wipe cache and still it just shows the black hat and orange circle.
The only way it seems to get out of there is to take the battery out.
Please advise on what is going on? how do I resolve this?
Home button to select, back button to go back

Ok Thanks!
I am relieved it works.
I thought it was the same as my samsung vibrant. up and down vol to choose and power to activate option seemed to work on that cwm.

[Q] ClockWorkMod Won't Do Anything...

Hey guys. I made a video showing what I mean but that didn't work out. I'll try and explain it the best I can.
So I have an HTC Evo 3D rooted with Revolutionary with S-Off. The phone was working fine until recently. I have ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0
When I go into CWM (power + volume down), it loads fine but won't let me access any menus. When I scroll down and select any option, the list just goes away and the CWM logo is all that's on my screen. If I click power again, the menu comes back. No matter what I select, this happens, even power down. The only way to reset my phone is to pull the battery.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? If there is an issue with the version, is there a way to upgrade/downgrade versions?
I would really like to load things from my SD card again.
Thanks in advanced,
Kyle
You pressed the power button to select options?supposingly you should use the volume button to scroll,power button for back and home button for select...

I have exactly the same problem with my ZTE Blade, CWM5.0.2.0
I can navigate through the home menu OK, but selecting any option only results in a blank screen with the CWM logo in the middle.
A button press takes me back to the home menu again.
Any ideas anyone?

OK, I'm kinda new to these forums as well, although I do have a certain amount of experience with Android. The simplest way to unlock your device would be to factory reset it (this will erase all the data on your device though). Because you can't unlock the tablet to get to the Settings menu and do this the usual way, you'll need to do it from recovery. From a quick bit of Googling, this is how you get into recovery mode and factory reset from there on your device (note that I don't own an MSI Enjoy 7 so I can't verify this, but it's pretty standard stuff):
1. Make sure your device is completely switched off
2. Press power and volume down at the same time until an Android logo appears
3. Now release the two buttons before holding the power button and pressing the volume button ONCE (don't hold it) and a menu should appear
4. Release the power button and use the volume buttons to scroll to an option which goes something like this: "wipe data/factory reset"
5. Press power to choose this option and again use the volume buttons and power button to confirm (if it asks you).
6. Your device will be reset and unlocked! :good:

Hi jackos2500! Thanks for the information about factory reset. But unfortunately my tablet has already no factory mode that's why I'm asking the other way (Backing up ROM, How to find compatible firmware and Android flash method). Much better if you can assist me on that!

Are you sure that there is no factory reset option in the stock recovery? There should be or else you wouldn't be able to factory reset it at all (even if you could unlock the device). Just to clarify, you don't need to be able to unlock the tablet to factory reset (at least that's the way it's been on every Android device I've ever used)

Alright man! Problem solved! After second attempt of web searching, I got the solution. You're right! I thought I lost my Factory Option because my tablet only display an Exclamation point inside a triangular shape with an android logo beside and no factory options to access. The web says that means the factory mode was already deleted and cannot be accessed anymore. But fortunately I got the true answer. I need to press again a combination of buttons in order to access the Factory Mode.
This is what I did:
a) Completely shut down the tablet first.
b) Press power button and volume up simultaneously and hold them for a while; then remove power button after 5 secs.
c) Wait for the green Android icon with a triangle and an exclamation mark to appear before removing the volume up.
d) Press the Power button and Volume up simultaneously for the Factory mode to appear. Remove both.
e) Here you are, the set up screen will appear, and you may proceed to do your selection.

HELP! Blue Wave 8 33GT tablet stuck in recovery mode with "No command" message

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.

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

Seeking Assistance With LG LML212VL

I got ADB going..
Tried the ole adb reboot bootloader & adb reboot recovery.. no dice they both just reboot the phone.
I've got a power button on the back & volume up & down.
I tried volume up & down from powered off.. even letting go & holding them back down after a second like I saw 1 suggestion for.. nope
I tried releasing & re-holding just the power button which took me to a factory reset of the phone which is just volume up & down & power to confirm yes or no 2 twice..
Anybody have any idea how to actually get to recovery ?
The weird thing is this phone has a "Allow OEM Unlock" in the dev settings.
I have the same phone and the same problem. I searched a little on the matter and read that the recovery hasn't been released yet, whatever that means. I had to completely factory reset mine to get a virus out(hopefully) Good luck, please share if you find a solution
Hard reset says
Hard reset. Com showed me that you have to hold the power button and the volume down button until you see the LG logo and then let go of the power button and immediately press it again and continue holding until the LG logo goes off in the recovery menu will come up but it's a piss-poor recovery menu because it only allows you to delete all files on the phone
Doesn't allow you to sideload anything and custom recovery i assume?
I got the LG Rebel 4 LML211BL its from tracphone and I've tried and tried to unlock it but I'm pretty sure it's carrier locked...ive been in ADB shell, tried bootloader, tried pushing files into ADB....tracphone has it locked
I have a passcode locked LML212VL and cant get into download mode.. Ideas?
Reset it, go through setup to wifi page. Turn off mobile and then click to turn off the wifi at the same time you click next to continue setup.
