@cratosgow Yes there is a way to hard reset your device.
1. Pull battery out from the phone. Wait 10 seconds. Pull it back.
2. While holding POWER UP + HOME SCREEN BUTTON press POWER BUTTON (so all 3 together). Wait until it turns on with the NOTE 3 screen. Stop pressing all buttons.
3. You are now in recovery mode.
4. Navigating with VOLUME DOWN BUTTON go to wipe data/factory reset and press OK (POWER BUTTON). Do the same and press YES. Wait until done.
5. Do the same but with clear cache partition.
5. Press ok for reboot system now.
6. You are done with HARD RESET.

You are welcome mate I am glad you are fixed. Volume Down + Power + Home is for Download mode. Usually volume down combos get you in download mode/ emergency etc in all devices. Don't mess there if you don't know what you are doing ^.^. Have a great day.

HELP ME
Dont worry buddy.. u r at right place to get saved out.
I am a newbie but still can suggest u to do a hard reset to restore your HTC in factory condition.
To hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
It's a little difficult to help you if you don't give out all the necessary info.
What phone model?
GSM or CDMA (if you don't know, you're probably in a lot of trouble)?
What SPL?
What ROM?
Did you flash anything immediately prior to the black-out?
If so, what did you flash?
Again, what exactly did you flash?
Answer the previous question.
my home and search button not working. just used this phone only a week and now i noticed that it did not function properly. menu and back button are working. so i want to know if there is a special setting need to turn on in order to make those two button function like normal or it just that those button really damaged?

i don't know if there is some toggle for these buttons... but if there should be one, it would toggle all of them, right?
have you rooted your phone? flashed any custom ROMs?
in which way they are acting crazy?
- no more working
- once working once not?
did you harm your phone in any way?
I did not do anything like root or flash.
i believed that those button were not function from the day i bought..
it is no more working

ok...
just to be sure (no big chance to get it working but maybe...?):
Press POWER and VOL- for a few seconds, till screens goes black and then POWER, VOL- and VOL+
Navigate with VOL- to Recovery and than press VOL+
In recovery, if there's no to press VOL- and VOL+ to display, if it's already there do a cache wipe and a data wipe / factory reset.
if it's still not working, you should go and send it for a repair
PS: After data wipe you will lose every changed phone setting and downloaded app! Be sure you saved every important thing!

just partially...
but think about it. if it's not working and you'll send your phone to be repaired... You'll get a new one with nothing on it but the stock ROM... I don't think they will repair these touch buttons, but they will replace your phone with a new one.

yeah that's true.. :laugh: anyway thank's for your help :good:
As soon as I boot I get random lines / flickering unable to read screen. I cannot tell if I get in the recovery screen. Based on the noises I can tell it boots up. Since I can't read the screen at all, the software side will have to be done on my win 7 machine. Is there anything I can do?
I don't know the Kernel number or android build, etc. As I bought this on ebay.
Probably your build. I bought mine off of eBay too, broken though, and repaired it.
The first cm10 Rom I installed had that problem where it'd look like a static t.v. channel upon booting sometimes or it would just randomly do so while on. Resetting would be the only way to return the screen back to normal. Now two builds later, I have yet to re-experience that issue.
So I'd say keep resetting with volume down and power to get into recovery and install a new rom. The previous owner probably had a bad flash and wasn't able to restore the screen condition.
If that still doesn't work, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe you can rescue your tab with a factory reset using ADB, as long as you get into download mode.. which should be the first option on the right when launching the tab into recovery.
If you're unfamiliar with ADB like me, I can give you the steps in number counts to get your device into recovery and hard reset it.. like: click volume up once and hit power, hit volume down 4 times then power etc.

This probably will depend on the recovery that you have installed on the tablet, whether it's stock or custom.
This method is for clockwork recovery (CWM):
To get into recovery:
-Hold volume down + power buttons and release the power button once the "Galaxy Tab 10.1" logo shows (should be the first screen to even show). Continue holding volume down for a few more seconds and you should then be at a screen where you choose from download mode or recovery.
-Volume down
-Volume up
Once in recovery:
-Volume up 2x
-Power
-Volume down 5x
-Power
Your device should now be factory restored so you can just hold the power button until it restarts. If that still doesn't fix the issue, I'll look up the stock recovery procedure and you can try that.
Remember, volume UP is the 3rd button on the top left corner of the device and volume down is the second.

If u dont have umportant data on it u can do a full wipe using the stock recovery
1 close the phone
2 press vol up + power or home + power or vol up +home + power to enter the recovery
3 using the vol buttons to choose and home key to select , select wipe data/system format and choose yes
4 reboot and you will found that the lock vanished but every thing is wiped (this won't affect the sd card only the system memory

Dear Sammyroid,
But even in that I have a problem. I could not get into that Factory mode. This ZP900 had only 3 physical buttons. Nothing works so that I can choose the option. I am able to only move up and down using volume control. The home and power button are not working.

I also have Exactly the same problem....(i dont even know what this tablet's model is...it just shows up in the Android Market as J-Q8B)
1) It only has two physical buttons (Power on/off button and Volume key up/down) so there is NO "home" button I can press
2) It also doesn't have any "reset" hole I can poke into and get it to reset or something
3) Cant remove the battery also coz it doesnt have any screws I can open up to take out the battery
:,-( I am screwed....I think I just found myself a "new door-stopper" and/or paper weight.
Is there some other way around this?
I too faced this problem on my karbonn a9+ .... I gave to service centre and they repaired and gave back in 5 days :-/

First of all sorry about my English. I wish I can do better.
I got the phone with the rebooting and base on the owner of the phone he said it started rebooting after an update.
Not sure what was of update to but the phone I got always rebooting during Android app optimization stage ( when it updating about 90 files or so) but it got reboot when updating to the file of 57th (So it was not actually working)
I watched and followed the youtube (how to unblock/unbrick galaxy i717) which it used the pda-odin-att-stock.tar file with the ODIN3 V1.85 (I guess that original ROM of AT&T (android version 2.3)
After successful unblock/unbrick the phone the phone actual worked but the problem still. It works but only 2 minutes and the phone reboots.
2/ test redbend fota is one the options you can choose after hard booting the phone using both up - down keys and power key (other options are to clear the cache, or wipe the data..)
That actually happened to me while testing out Bean Stalk(which btw AWESOME ROM). It would do a Random Reboot and continuously do that every 2 minutes or so. The way I fixed it was by doing the following steps:
1) Power off your phone. If unable to power off, remove and reinsert the battery.
2 )Press and hold between both Volume keys and the Power key at the same time until the phone vibrates, then release ONLY the Power key.
3)Continue holding the Volume keys until Samsung appears on the screen. Then release both volume keys.
The recovery menu will display.
4) Press Volume down to move to option 3, Wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Home key to accept.
5) Use Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate in the menu and select Yes- Delete all user data.
6)Navigate to highlight OK and press the Home key to select.
7) Select Reboot system now.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING INSIDE YOUR SD CARD AS WELL! SO DO A BACKUP BEFORE ERASING EVERYTHING!

Could it be a battery issue? I mean if its not software, it might be hardware. Please check if the battery is fine? If you could elaborate the steps you took or the update process you followed, that would be great.
Don't worry we will definitely figure this out, i know how sad it can be when you are without your phone.

No. Surely it is not about the battery. Battery is full and hold the charge pretty well. As I mentioned I was re-installed the original ROM of the phone and there was nothing much to say about this procedure. After reinstalled the original rom the phone works but the problems is still same (rebooting after 2 minutes), before the the phone didn't work and just was in the updating stage but I guess the time of the updating file was also about 2 minutes.
I believe this is about the software than the hardware issue. I am thinking that I may want to install the newest ROM to see it will work or not but I am in the middle of some works right now and have no time for it. So I am just wait to see if there is anyone had similar issue and follow their instruction. Thank you you all.
I am sure you either have hardware issue or in most circumstances it is a user issue.
Is there any possibility you have not read everything or something you are not understanding?
Those of us responding do so because our methods are tried and true. Nobody else is having this issue.
I just ask is it possible?
Have you confidently tried all suggestions with no shortcuts? Even the smallest deviation can lead to the biggest problems

Here is a suggestion:
Please go to stock rom. After Odin restarts the phone...do not touch. Let the phone sit there for a little bit. Then if it restarts u might need to format your internal sd card after formatting system, data, cache and then install rom.
I had to flash it

factory reset did not help me with this...I ended up having to flash CM 10.1. Its the most stable custom I have used on this phone yet....
