Hello,
My wife just bought a Galaxy S6 from a friend of her and we are trying to factory reset it.
If we do it from the menu the phone just turns off and when we turn it on again all the data is still there.
If we try using the keys before turning it on (volume up + power + home) after it turns on and we are holding the keys the capacitive keys leds start flashing like crazy and the phone doesn't turn on again after a while.
Any one knows what we can do to factory reset this phone?
sorry, just noticed there is a different forum for the t-mobile version
So you did try recovery mode, but it did not work? That's strange! When phone is turned off, press Volume up + Power + Home button and hold them until you see recovery screen (Android bot on cyan background). Then recovery menu will pop up (sometimes it can take a while for it to be shown). From there do the factory reset and wipe cache. But it seems you already tried it...

I'm trying to hard reset a GT-P7500 on Android 3.2 by turning it off and then pressing Volume Up + Power. But nothing happens... screen remains black.
What am I doing wrong?
Any alternative way to hard reset?
The tablet powers on normally when just pressing Power button.

I'm not sure if you mean to hard reset or if you're trying to go into recovery mode to access CWM?
Either way, a hard reset can be performed by holding the power key longer than the usual time to turn it on or off.
To access recovery mode, hold the power and volume down key if up didn't work. The android guy is downloading mode and the box icon is recovery. Let me know if this helps witha thanks:good:
Yes it did. Thanks so much.

Weird. Every Galaxy Tab 3 I've played with, when you get to that screen, the reboot and factory reset options are at the top. Sometime you have to play with the Volume buttons to get the options to show up on some devices. Like the 2 volume keys together, or just kind of play around with various buttons. That's certainly the right mode, because Vol Down + Power would be the Download mode. My experience has been like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nft8HVUc5Y4 - but that was on the 210 / 211.
But if you can still boot into the OS, the factory reset option is in the Settings > Backup and Restore.
pls check this link.It worked for me

My samsung galaxy cant access the recovery nor the factory reset mode. I just replaced the screen and i need to reset it since i forgot the password i was using way months back. i tried the combo keys. volume up+home key plus power key. It just reboots normally. i try to make an emergency call and the volume keys are all working.
Is home button works? On my s3 it's hard to press correctly home button. When i want to go into recovery i press it as much as i can. Mostly I go into recovery with reboot options but when my phone is in bootloop I must go into recovery with combo
Hey guys ! my phone is not switching on. When i press the power on button, the samsung logo keeps on appearing but doesnt show the home screen. Also when i try to switch it off, it doesn't. So i remove the battery to turn it off :silly:
I tried the Hard reset option by pressing Volume up + Select + Power on button. The reset window appeared. First i selected the factory reset option and then the reboot option. But it still didn't help. Even after rebooting the phone , the samsung logo keeps on appearing instead of showing the home screen.
Note : Its not a rooted phone.
Please Help
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
