Hi Friends,
My friend has K-TOUCH A11 android smartphone running Gingerbread. He forgot his pattern lock and tried entering google login and password. Nothing helps, still showing google login screen when starting the phone.
I decided to get into Android System Recovery and try factory reset.
1. This phone has three touch buttons (Home, Back, Menu) and a Power button but no volume or camera buttons. No way to get into recovery.
2. I tried adb reboot recovery and it got me into Android System Recovery (3e). The real issue starts here: There is no way to select options in recovery. If I touch menu button in restarts phone to normal mode (that is google login screen).
Please help me to reset factory settings.. Thanks in Advance.:

I need help trying to figure out why my phone will not factory reset. I unlocked the bootloader and installed stock gingerbread a few months ago. I was planning on selling the phone to a friend of mine, so i needed to factory reset. Any time I would try to factory reset it, the exclamation mark would come up after it restarts.
I tried factory resetting with a new rom, but all my apps and my motoblur account would remain after loading the new rom. the last thing I tried was the Stock ATT 2.3.4 SBF.
After using SBF if booted fine until the lock screen came up with no initial startup guide. and it keeps telling me that " The application LauncherPro (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" when I press force close, it just pops up again, giving me no time to access the home screen, let alone the menu.
if anyone can help me access and get rid of this program from outside Android, it would be a great help, thanks!
fastboot -w
Im sorry but please bear with me. i also need help setting up ADB for the atrix in order to do it. for some reason I can't access my phone.
There are be a couple of ways to do a factory reset.
1. Using the fastboot (maybe it was moto-fastboot), you can put the phone in fastboot mode. Phone off, press and hold down volume key then press the power button. When the screen says "Fastboot", press the volume up key. Then as mentioned above, do "fastboot -w reboot." This will erase user data and cache then reboot the phone.
2. If you have one of the CWM recovery images installed, do as above, but when "Fastboot" is displayed, press the down volume key until "Android Recover" is displayed. Now press the volume up key. In a few seconds, the recovery menu will be displayed. Select "Wipe data/factory reset".
3. With the phone fully booted, Settings->Privacy->Factory Data Reset
Good luck
yeah my problem now is accessing my phone with adb. it wont find fastboot. saying that fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Is there some kind of package here I can use/find?
Edit: Got it working! thank you guys for the help!!!!

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.

[Android Tablet Issue] Acer Iconia A1-810 - 1st freezing, 2nd "erasing" screen
Hi,
My tablet Acer Iconia A1-810 (with KitKat version, not rooted) was freezing all the time and I make a normal factory reset from settings. The problem continued to appear and I decided to make a hard factory reset using tablet buttons. After confirm "yes, wipe all data", the tablet start to show a screen with the android logo and saying "erasing...". It's been 3 days now and nothing changes. Not even when I press the reset button and turn on the device that screen appears again.
I've tried to remove (unplug) the battery and plug back in; Tried to get back to recovery mode (power button + volume up) but keeps to show that screen; Any action becomes useless... Nothing works.
Maybe a complete rom flash would do it? But... How to do it if none action on buttons does something?
Any solution?? Thank you for any response!!

I wonder if you were able to find any solution, because i have the same problem. I can get into the recovery mode pressing power + volume up. You have to try when the table is going to reboot; not always work but it load recovery mode sometimes.
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
Hi,
this morning I was struggling with this smartphone because of the lack of primary services in the device (e.g. calls, contacts, sms).
I thought about a bug in the OS or...I don't know. So, after trying the easiest things (download some app, disable/install or install other one etc), I decided to factory reset the phone. I searched for instruction on the internet and I found this procedure: power off the device, enter in recovery mode pressing power button + volume up, wipe data to factory reset.
In fact I think I pressed volume down and a screen with android symbol and no option appeared. So, I hold power button to quite this mode and reboot the system, but now the home screen is empty and any functionality disappeared (the phone is unusable).
If now I correctly enter the recovery mode pressing power button + volume up and run "factory reset" the process starts and after a few seconds it crashes and tell me that it can't recovery the system.
So, if I simply boot the system the home screen is empty and I can't use any app or function. And neither I can recovery the system to factory reset.
Pleas help.
