Hi,
I'm new to xda, I was on CM10.1 nightly build 29th Dec, and I was just checking the dev options to see what was what. When I changed
the 'Simulate Secondary Display' settings the phone just froze. It's perfectly fine, everythings there, it's just that when I boot it, it shows the boot logo and when its about to show the home screen it freezes. I know its not bricked, and I know all I have to do is change the Dev Options. Could
someone plz tell me how? I actually have important messages and pictures that I don't want to lose.
Thanks in advance

Flash a different rom like stock based custom rom and install cm10.1 again if you want to
Thankfully I had a fairly recent Titanium Backup so I only lost a small amount of data + time. I hope you manage to find a solution as you said you have important messages and all.
Wiping cache doesn't help. I'm still stuck. :crying:
--- Edited ---
My itchy hand touch that setting as well. Stuck at CM10.1 boot screen.
Solution: Just boot into recovery, wipe cache and reboot. Done and everything working as usual.
Same question
I wiped cache and davkit cache in recovery but no luck
I would like to know the function of this option

Yes. I just found this thread because i also locked my S2 activating "second display" and looked for a way to boot up in safe mode.
1. Turn off your phone by long pressing the Power button.
2. Press Up/Down Volume buttons (yes, both) and Power button at the same time.
3. Keep pressing all 3 buttons until boot-up image appears.
4. Release Power button while still pressing volume buttons (not sure if this is mandatory, but worked on my phone)
5. Phone will boot-up with "Safe-mode" badge in the lower-left corner of your screen.
Now go to Settings-Developer options and disable Second Display. After that, just reboot and you should be fine.

confirmed dirty flash does NOT work
confirmed flash 10.1 nonofficial then re flash DOES work
anybody try a restore?? seemed to work for me except i only had an ancient one... plus the safe mode trick seems better unless you just made a backup
im on rezound infected 2.2 JB 4.2.2 by the way and safe mode didn't seem to work but i just read the part where you hold volume buttons after letting go of the power button. so that might work for rezounds still

Seems not to work on HTC Desire Z. In a 3 seconds after holding volume buttons and power button, LED lights up in green and remains in this state. Using Jelly Baby 1.5.0.
Any other way?
EDIT: I found one. Turn on the phone and when on HTC logo, hold S button on QWERTY keyboard until home screen show up.

different phone, different method. the above applies to i9100.
glad you found a way for your HTC.
I wasn't able to boot into safe mode for some reason (HTC Evo with non-stock ROM). My solution was to use adb to edit the settings sqlite database.
Here is the guide I found: blog.jbit.net/2013/01/android-settings-reset-using-adb.html

A boot loop happen after i tried installing cyanogenmod 7 early realease from this forum. Now the device stuck in boot and will display cyanogenmod 7 blue circle around 3 -4 seconds over and over. Can anyone of you help me because i think i need to do a factory reset, but now it stuck in boot loop and it does not have a key combination to go into recovery mod. Help
Noone answer till now...
There is a key combination. Search it on google. How to boot lg optimus (your model) into recovery. Once in wipe data then wipe cache
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

From searching other forums and google I found the following:
You can enter update mode by removing the battery, then while holding down the VOL + button plug in your usb cord(i assume while it's connected to your computer).
Then you can search the forums here and find:
[LG P970] Upgrade Kit 3.5
(the title is longer than this i just didn't put it all in here due to laziness)
This should help you in your quest of retrieving your phone from light up paperweight status. I don't really know though. Since I've never used your phone. Good luck.
recovery mode
you need to press the home button,volume -, and power,
to enter to the recovery mode.
sorry for my bad english.
Does not work on the LG-P970g from Telus aka Optimus Black
To get into Recovery mode :
Press and hold Volume down + Home key
then press and hold the above combination and also press and hold power button for a while
You'll get into Recovery mode
Hope it helped :angel:

power up your phone, when the buttons start to blink (or the cm logo appears or whatever boot logo you have) press and hold vol down then press power button (home key is not really needed like the video ) . it also works on stock rom if you have a recovery installed.
note that it won't work at the early bootup when the lg logo appears or when android is booted and ready.

It takes me in safe mode, i'm not even sure what it is (I guess is something similar to window's? It has less apps when I am in safe mode!
I'm not sure what to do, I tried to reboot in recovery mode with the ROM manager but it doesn't work (nothing of the ROM manager works actually).
Any ideas on what safe mode is?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I tried this app to reboot in recovery mode
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
It rebooted the phone, the android robot showed up with some stuff turning in the stomach (like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Android_Update_Screen.JPG) and then it turned on normally except that all my data now is gone (which is not a problem since I wanted to wipe it from the recovery mode, the problem is that I still can't get into recovery mode!
P.S.: it wouldn't let me post normal links because I'm a new member, I hope I didn't break any rule posting them like this! (after all it's not spam!)
Is there a way on how to flash ROM on Huawei Ascend G525? I had just done rooting this phone. Also, I don't know how to navigate to the recovery of this phone, I did try to press the power on button with the up and down volume keys but it did not go to the recovery. Is there any solution for this?
If you want to go to recovery mode or CWM, press and hold the back key + volume down and press the power button.
When the screen flashes, let go.
And it's done, try it.
Hit the thanks button if it helps.

i tried your way but I failed, it did not rebooted to the cwm. i think there is no hard back key in my handset, it will not work/function when a phone is turned off. keys that would work are only the power button and the volume up/down keys.
Disable Fast Boot for Recovery
Hi, It is as you wrote earlier, volume up and down keys and then press power, But for this to work you have to either disable Fast Boot from settings > all and 2nd last option, or you can remove battery for two seconds at least to force mobile complete shut down.
Hope this helps

Actually there is no clockwordmod installed on G525. Let us wait for developers to work on it. Currently, I found a Chinese language custom recovery available in the internet. You can try that if you want. Just searh on google "G525 CWM".

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.

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.

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.

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:

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
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
