Hi, i need help regarding a hard reset of my phone due to forgetting password set.

i held volume down and briefly pressed power button, and then got a notification saying press up to continue down to cancel.
i pressed up and it says downloading with the green android robot thing and is taking ages.
any ideas much appreciated.

You've entered download mode which will do absolutely nothing if you're not connected to a PC and flashing something with Odin. What you probably want is recovery mode which you access by holding volume UP, home and power. Once you're in recovery mode there will be an option to factory reset your phone. Which password have you forgotten? If it's your SIM unlock PIN, this will not fix the issue.

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.

Nice, glad you got it sorted.
I think I just hard bricked my V10,
was trying to root it with tot file and something went wrong, it restarted,
Now I have bootloop on lg screen.
When entering download mode phone says following and reboots automatically.
Secure booting Error
Error code: 1009
MODIFIED!
So I basically can't access download mode.
Only input I have is, when connected to PC, during bootloop, before it restarts it's visible as COM device
I think i f#@#ked up real bad guys
Did you try master reset with the power and volume down button?
I need more information. What varient do you have and what tot did you try flashing? Did you try a factory reset?

When that happened to me after deleting some apps with Titanium (now I just freeze them ), I managed to install the TOT again with LGUP
Turn the phone on (I tried all ways, normal, reset, download mode, not sure which one worked), with LGUP running on the PC and USB cable connected, it worked after a few tries, good luck :good:
Try to get to recovery mode as follows:
Turn off your LG G4 (complete a full shut down process – press power key and select “power off” or press and hold power button for a few moments).
Then, press and hold Power and Volume Down buttons – don’t release the keys.
Keep pressing the buttons until the LG Logo is being displayed.
At that point release the buttons for about 1 second.
After that immediately press and hold Power and Volume Down keys pressed once more.
The recovery mode menu should be then displayed on your LG G4.
You can use Volume Up and Down buttons in order to scroll up and down and you can press Power key to select.
Choose “reboot system now” when you are ready to go back to Android OS.

It does go to recovery, but PC does not detect it. Also when I press to reset phone it give same error and reboot.
melorib
Thanks for advice, but I just can't keep it mounted to pc long enough for LGUP to detect.
Though, i'll try it nonethe less. I have short window before phone reboots, maybe it'll be enough
Thanks for answers

Leave the cable connected and LGUP on all the time while you try rebooting, and look at the PC to see if it recognized the phone, eventually mine connected
LGUP recognizes it but, says that it's an unknown device.
did you have same problems?

I dont remember exactely how it happened, did you try flashing to the unknown device
Also try after LGUP recognizes the phone unplug and plug USB cable...
The last alternative if it doesnt work is using LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
thanks for trying to help,
but phone is in constant bootloop and it doesn't stay long enough to do something with it

Hey, the exact thing happened to me because of the same reason XD
Anyway, I was able to get into download mode and reflash it on the first attempt.
As for the unknown device problem, IIRC it's an issue of LGUP that can be solved via something involving removing the battery.
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
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.
I forgot my password to the phone as it was sitting a while without use and I was only using my fingerprint to unlock it.
When I try the Volume down and power button I get a small recovery menu but selecting enter recovery mode I just get the picture of the dad android guy and "no command " at the bottom.
I haven't been able to get any other screen to work, when I hold volume up and power on it just keeps resseting.
The phone was bought in mainland china (where I currently live) and I never updated or loaded any ROMs
** I found how to fix this, but I don't know how to delete my post, if anyone wants the answer I can post in the comments.**
