Can you use Flash Tool? I mean my computer does not recognise my P9000 but when I turn the device off, prepare Flash Tool, connect the USB cable and turn the device on it works.
I think that should be the most easy way to perform factory reset/flash the stock ROM.

I dont have the device yet but im thinking you could factory reset going to fastboot and doing fastboot erase userdata, no recovery mode needed and should most certainly work

[Q] Please help me! S3 stuck on TWRP Loop after Factory Reset

Please can you assist me.
I've read through so many threads explaining that it is easy to fix if I use ODIN. However I cannot seem to get ODIN to recognize my Galaxy S3.
I was doing a factory reset on my device, which has Cyanogenmod installed. Upon rebooting, the phone is now stuck with the Teamwin logo and it continues to loop.
In cannot seem to charge the phone because it's stuck in this mode and when I install ODIN and along with the SAMSUNG USB Drivers. I have no luck with my computer recognizing the device. I am able to get into the Download mode by holding Power, Volume Down and Home buttons - I click Volume up to continue. I then check my ODIN screen and it never appears to say ADDED or anything of that sort.
I'm scared that my phone is going to soon run out of charge and then I will not be able to even attempt to fix this. Please help me.
I've tried the above steps in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and cannot get either of them to recognize my device.
N.B. I have also tried different USB ports as well as different USB cables.
Once again, I plead for any assistance.
Can u go to the custom recovery ??
If so
Do a clean wipe
Do a factory reset (do not do a clean to install new rom,just erase your data)
Wipe your cache
Wipe dalvik cache and see if u can boot it up
Goodluck
Use the latest odin version and see
And why didint you take a nandroid backup before installing custom roms
If u took it
Just restore it
U will surely boot it up
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
I managed to solve the issue by using a computer which already had my device USB drivers installed.
The other 2 computers I tried didn't seem to want to recognize the device due to the bootloop - but when linking up to a computer which linked to my phone prior to the ordeal, ODIN then recognized the device and I was able to load stock rom back on.
FYI, I wasn't able to access recovery.
Thank you for your quick response.

MDM does not allow factory reset SM-T230

Someone please help.
The last three nights I've been trying to recover an SM-T230 UK Samsung Tab 4 Wifi to factory ROM. This was a former live demo unit, I managed to get very cheaply.
The following is what I've done thus far:
- Removed Samsung Retail Mode using the 5444 code followed by the enabling of the factory reset function using the code M729Q16K8546.
This left me with a firmware that seemingly worked fine.
- I then went to recover to stock (minus demo mode) using home, vol up and power. When I selected the recovery option the message "MDM does not allow factory reset".
- Rebooted automatically. So checked the recovery option in the operating system. This was greyed out, so couldn't be selected.
- I then downloaded the stock firmware and recovered using Odin. This gave me back the option to recover within the operating system. But still the MDM arose when trying to using the button method to recover.
- I installed TWRP recovery firmware. Used this to wipe all data and recover the tablet to factory condition. This removed the OS at the same time. Upon reboot allowed the device to be rooted with SU.
- Then put the device into download mode, and re-installed the stock rom.
The device booted into the setup screen, as if completely wiped and reinstalled. However, although I can now recover from inside the menu, MDM message still shows if I try the pwr+volup+home buttons. I have tried multiple times to wipe and clear cache. The device works, but I need that button recovery method.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks,
Carl.

[Request] Tips to save a phone that restarts itself

Hi all, my question prescinds from a phone particular model. The problem is that for some sort of software issue, the phone restarts itself after few seconds that rom unlock appear. I'm sure that is a sw issue because in recovery mode it stays alive and when he does the application update after a dalvik cache wipe, all goes well too!
It's not possible to enable usb debug because it restarts too soon and in recovery (cwm) it's not possible to connect via adb. It's not a rooted phone. Also in safe mode it stucks in bootloop
What i can do before a factory reset?

Looks like its bootlooping ... Yes its a software issue ... I don't think u have any option other than factory reset ... Take a backup first before u do that...or perhaps u can use a logcat if u know what it is
i will try to take backup in sd card and retrieve some useful data from this.
how can i use logcat if can't connect through adb?

Unable to factory reset a phone (tried multiple options)

So I got this phone that completely stopped working as soon as you unlock it. It just gives “has stopped” messages endlessly. (example video below)
What I already tried:
Factory reset while in the settings of the phone itself
Wipe Data / Cache in fastboot mode
Tried to connect the phone on the PC and reset it threw the command line
Nothing works, it does say it has wiped the phone while in fastboot mode but when you start the phone I come back in exactly the same screen with all the data intact.
Any advice?

Nobody has a idea on what to try ?
No recovery mode you can try from, or any way to reflash the firmware?

factory reset a rooted phone, corrupt files possibly?

i own a zte quest (n817) which is very sluggish. i had it rooted and decided to uninstall a good amount of apps to help it run faster a few months back. it worked fine for the uses i needed it for (calls, text, few apps, wifi etc.) but i wanted to do a factory reset. after doing so from the settings menu, my phone rebooted and went through the setup but the home screen is blank (screenshots below). im thinking the phone didnt reset all the way and it also might still be rooted. i wanted to know what i could do to try and recover the phone in its original state.
things ive tried: im able to put the phone in stock recovery, tried an update.zip from a similar zte phone but wouldnt work. tried a factory reset and cleared cache from the recovery. when the phone is at the home screen, i can plug the phone up to the pc and see the contents of the phone. i can also put the phone in download mode. while in download mode, tried to run some adb commands so i could maybe use dd to flash the .img files but either the operation not permitted or it just did nothing.
im trying to find the update.zip for this phone because i think that would be the simplest option. other than that, any help is much appreciated
