Bricked phone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I registered here in XDA to only ask a question.
I have a phone (Hyundai e501) that's bugged in the no command screen.
My aunt gave me the phone with the description of 'just fix it'. My guess is that the ROM is corrupted so I tried to flash a new one (if that's how it's called).
I saw a YouTube tutorial and got pretty far until it said that the phone has no space.
So my question is: how can I factory reset / format the phone without starting it? I tried to use the recovery menu but it automatically says 'No command', even when I'm not trying to get to the recovery menu.
I tried the combination of buttons that said to get to the 'No command' screen with the power and vol up button pressed and then click and unclick vol up button and it didn't work.
Is there a program that could help me? If there's not it could be a hardware issue? Thanks!

i dont have "insurance" so i just cant get a new one
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM???
NEW MESSAGE POPPED UP: the device is unable to boot beacuse either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press the volume up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. this operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory settings.
You have to hard reset the device, like the message stated. If that doesn't do the trick, boot it in tricolor mode and reflash the ROM.
<SOLVED>
Problem solved. Factory reset. Good thing i had back-up.

Nexus 10 - unlock bootloader didn't go as expected

Hi guys,
I tried to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 10 before rooting it. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I can't use it anymore (I either have the "Loading X" forever or a dead droid while trying to go to the recovery mode).
I'm used to do that kind of modifications (only on Samsung Galaxy S and S3 though) and I don't know what I did wrong (but I usually flashed with Odin).
Anyway, I used this tool (after enabling the usb debug and allowing unknown sources) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
I installed the drivers on my PC (menu 1 in the tool), then I could see my device in ADB MODE (in the tool menu). I tried to unlock the bootloader (3rd option in the menu) and it was written completed. My device reboots and nothing happens. I can access the fastboot mode (is it the download mode ?).
I have Odin.
Can someone help me to get a working device ?
Thank you very much.

Easy fix. Get to the dead droid recovery menu and then press all 3 buttons on the top. You will get into the blue recovery options. Choose factory reset.
Sometimes unlocking the bootloaders scrambles a few things on this device and it goes into boot loop. After the factory reset, you'll be fine. PM me if you still have issues.

Okay, thank you very much. I didn't know I had to press the 3 top buttons again after the dead droid screen, I thought it failed loading the Recovery Mode.
I have to setup my account etc again so I guess it is safe to say it worked.
Additionally, I tried this method after the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
and it worked fine. My device has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
hey if someone could help me im stuck myself, after i had the dead android in recovery mode i tried to flash software with the toolkit in fastboot and now when i go to recovery its just a blank screen till i hold the bottom combo again and it takes me back to fastboot

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. I get to the dead droid instead of recovery and tried hitting all three buttons again but it's just looping again.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you didn't actually perform a factory reset. The key combination to get into stock recovery from the dead android screen is Power + Vol-Up. That will bring up the option to factory reset.
So if your powered off or bootlooping, hold the Power + Vol-Up + Vol-Down until you're back in the Bootloader. Use Vol buttons to select Recovery Mode and tap Power. When the droid w/ the Red "!" appears, hold the Power button and quick press the Vol-Up button. This should take you into stock recovery. Select Factory reset. Reboot. After a few minutes, the device should boot normally.
Good luck.

Ok found a video showing that when you get to that part where there's the dead droid (the red !), you don't press hold hold all three buttons but tap them until the recovery screen shows up.
So finally did that but I still have the same problem.
My initial problem was, I received my N10, open the box, turned it on and it started freezing and rebooting. Can't get past the wifi step.
Tried hard and many times to finally get to enter my gmail account, etc
Updated to 4.3, problem persisted so I figured, maybe the factory flashed a bad rom?
So I unlocked it, rooted it and tried flashing older stock versions, same problem.
Tried flashing CM, same; PA, same...
Tried deactivating location service as suggested elsewhere: same; uninstall chrome: same
Even CM withouf GAPPS wouldnt work
So basically, I have a $500 brick. Completely useless as it freezes every 30 seconds.
Decided not to return the device because although I am Canadian, I live in SE Asia and had a visiting friend bring it to me. Way past the return period and the overall experience would be a real pain in the butt... Don't know what to do. Really hoping Kit Kat will solve it but I have doubts.
What do you think?
Sorry. I don't know enough about these things to give more in depth troubleshooting advice. I just recently got my N10 & unlocked it and based on your original post, I thought that's where you needed help. But it sounds like you got past that and got it unlocked.
Have you tried downloading a factory image directly from Google and installing that? If it's locking up on a fresh install of any ROM, it very well may be a hardware issue. You may have to file a warranty claim if possible.

[Q] VivaX TPC-7151 factory reset and recovery help

Hey XDA, you did informed me and help me a lot when I would search for a solution and find it on your forums. But now I had to make account in order to find solution for particular one here (I suppose this is a correct topic, please move if I'm wrong):
I forgot to change a really bad pattern password back to regular slide lock, and I didn't know the combination. After trying few times most combinations that I ha din my head, it suddenly asked me a google account in order to unlock it. Well, I know it, I type it and as soon as I press "sign in", a message flashes that it is loading something (just for a split second) and..... nothing. Still there, at same lock screen. I tried those without @gmail.com and null password but nothing worked, none of combinations. I read somewhere that other solution is wipe data or factory reset. Well, I'm okay with that, but how do I enter recovery mode or boot menu where I can access that?? I don't have USB debugging on, I'm sure of that, and my tablet isn't rooted (it was rooted before, but it went on service once for data wiping and it came back un-rooted I suppose)
I don't have hard reset button, but I do have physical back button on side of tablet that I can click, but I never use it. I tried with holding power button and volume up. When it shows me that image of opened android with red triangle warning sign. I release power button and now I'm stuck with that image on my screen, not knowing what to do! I can press power + volume up again to turn off tablet. Power + volume down activates safe mode and turns on tablet, atleast I discovered that feature...
If you know how to get pass that lock screen that asks for google account, anything how to wipe data with locked out tablet I would be very pleased to hear it (technically see it on here). My tablet is still in its case, locked out, and turned off for now.
Note: If I manage to get to pattern lock screen again somehow, that will also work for me. I'm sure I know correct pattern.

LG K20 V Recovery Mode "No Command" Error

Hello, world! This is my first time posting on the forums, so I'd appreciate grace where it's due, haha. Anyhow, onto my problem. I have an LG K20 V (model # VS501) with bootloader locked and unrooted. I've been able to boot into recovery by simply running
Code:
adb reboot recovery
but the recovery menu never appears, only the android on its back and the words "No Command". I've read up somewhat on the error but no combination of the volume keys and power button (my device doesn't have a physical home button) seems to ever put me through to the actual recovery menu, only booting the phone up normally or no results. I have read a few places that it could be an issue with the cache (no idea how), so would simply wiping the cache fix it? The internet is sparse on info on my specific device and I've always found the answers I'm looking for on XDA so I'm hoping I'll get one for this problem as well. Thanks in advance!
after pressing the keys:there is a blue screen which shows a killed android and an error signal and says no command?if yes you just have to wait and it will go to recovery mode after a bit

Not blue, a black screen. And I don't get to recovery by pressing keys, in fact I've tried and I cant. Only with the adb command. Or are you saying I just need to wait a while longer after pressing the key combinations to get past the error?
well.lg phones are secure so i dont really know from them :/.i have used only sony and samsung devices

⚠ Problem with back to stock

I have problem with getting back to stock fullmics 5.5 on h850. I have installed it reboot and now Im stuck in secure start-up lock pattern from previous rom I believe. Pattern wont work and also meanwhile "FC system UI has stopped" warning is showing all the time.
I can get into download mode but port is not recgonized in vista so ADB cant be used (WHQL usb drivers 4.4.2 are installed ok)
problem is also that I cant get into recovery mode or
factory reset menu from startup, seems power button down procedure wont work like previously did...for some reason bootloader warning appears almost immediately after power on so power button off and on for a sec like I believe it should, has no effect.
Im really getting out of ideas to solve this...tech brain of the world please gather for help
