HEY YALL...ok this cricket mercury m886 a customer brought in to do a factory reset but the hard reset from recovery doesnt do anything..just goes back to the pattern lock screen?? what gives? i tried many times, it says in recovert its completed and i did a wipe cache but still same results? any help will be highly appreciated!! thanks
i have the same problem，i get to purple screen try toreplace the custom recovery.img，but i restart the phone is restore original recovery.img
I also had this problem with my friends tablet, It was an alcatel tablet, I was able to access recovery mode and I wiped data but nothing happened. My friend found a hole at the back of the tablet and inserted a push pin and there it is it was wiped! Maybe there's something like a button in your device to factory reset it?

I need some consolation. I unlocked my tablet using the asus unlocker. I did not have a custom rom installed but it was rooted. One day i needed more space on my tablet, i decided to be lazy and instead of deleting the apps i would factory reset the device. i used cwm as the factory reset instead of the one in the system. during the reset my tablet's battery dies. now it is completely bricked it will boot to the screen saying that the tablet is unlocked and won't progress past that. i have tried every combination of buttons and i cannot get into the cwm recovery nor any other screen. The tablet is completely unresponsive. Is there a way that i could open the tablet take the hard drive and format it on my computer. Then replace it with new firmware and boot loader? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
My encryption failed, forcing me to factory reset my S4 mini :crying: But when I hitteed the factory reset button, it wiped my data (took a minute or so), reeboted, and I landed at the same screen as before. Also wiping cache, dalvic cache, and formatting /data didn't help
I've read severeal very old threads here, saying that you got to reinstall the stock firmware. Is this still possible??? Can somebody tell me where to get the right 3 part firmware for my S4 mini (DTM)???
How the encryption problem occured
HELP!!! My phone forces me to factory reset, but the SD-Card encryption key will be lost then!
I can still reach the recovery and got a backup from Titanium of all apps on my SD-Card (thank god I did it yesterday). But the SD-Card is encrypted, and the key will be lost in case I do the factory reset. I can still access the CMW recovery and even can backup the system (just /data is still not working), ADB is enabled. Does anybody know how to safe the SD-Card key/unencrypt the SD-Card?
PS. I still know date and time when I did the encryption of both storages
How the failture happened:
I started the unencryption progress, and went out of my room, the phone still plugged in.
A few minutes I came back, the screen was still black. It also didn't reacted when you pressed a key. I thought something went wrong and the phone shut down complety, so I pressed the power button for a few secs. Then it booted, but then I got the message that I got to factory reset my device.
It seems like the unencrypting has never started, but the device thinks it has started, and therefore fails to boot.
Bump
Please help me, all my game stats are stored on the SD Card and it would be horrible if I would loose them:crying:
Another bump
Other problem now, so I brought the thread back to the top
My watch was not being detected by my new phone so I decided to give the ol factory reset a try. and when I did this it got stuck in a infinite boot loop. I did the reset button on the back and it wont fastboot now. have tried to clear all data in the recovery mode but it still has the same problem, see video:

going to RMA the watch next week hopefully if I cant fix the problem.
Hello!
I decided I'm going to sell my old s3 motherboard, and figured i have to reset it. I have long ago lost the screen and volume buttons for it so I cant boot to recovery and use adb there. Adb is not authorized. I can put the phone into download mode using the 300k tool, but I've tried flashing many stock roms, none have resetted data. What is there left to do? I am really confused, as to when I had an xcover, every one of the numerous times I flashed the stock rom it would reset everything. And as I am aware, samsung phones dont have fastboot so I cant use that to wipe data in download mode. And also the phone is locked with a pin, but I do remember it.
Oh, and I also have an mhl adapter which I've been using to see if somethings happened.
Bump.
I do need help with this.
Hi, my tablet is stucked on deleting while factory reset.
I'm not able to open recovery as tablet every-time boots to "deleting" screen.
Resetting tablet via pin hole does not help as well.
I tried to leave tablet two days in deleting menu connected to charger - and still the same -> deleting...
Do you have any idea how to fix this ?
Thank you
