So my brother was drunk and thought it would be cute to lock the phone. Now he cant remember the password and I can not hard reset. How can I hard reset my phone to get around the lock????
Perhaps force flash it through USB?
Or you can take out the battery, and during reboot, force it to hard reset ..
Another way is during reboot, force it to flash (as long as you have the SD with KAISIMG.nbh of the ROM at it's root).
Wish you luck.
I tried force flash spl and it wont connect via usb. I also have tried a hard reset by holding the two soft kets on the front of the phone and hit the reset button. I also tired the power, camera and reset button.
When you do a hard reset, it just stays locked or you get a soft reset?
Try shutting down by unplug the battery, then during boot up, do hard reset. It shouldn't load the lock yet ..
A hard reset will remove the password (I did the same thing on the first day of owning my Kaiser, set a password on inital start up, it customised it's self, rebooted and I could not get past the login )
Make sure you follow these instructions for Hard Reseting : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets

Also, just so you know: a hard reset will delete your personal information that you have saved. If you don't want to delete your information, keep trying to break the code.
Hey guys, I have a dead pixel on the screen and I'm going to have to send it back in for another one. But I've tried to do a factory reset like 5 times, whatever the reason.. android and root still remain on the device, has anyone ran into this problem before?
Have you done both the 8X reset and the 3 button data reset?
Power button, volume up and the N button must be held down at the same time.
I use to think the 3 button reset was the same thing as a reformat, they are not. To bring the device back to factory condition you have to first do the adb reset (or interrupt the boot 8 times) and then do the 3 button reset.
See this link.

I have an HTC One and I love it. I am running Android 4.1.2 and cant update to 4.2.2. Whenever I download the update, the phone restarts and gets stuck at around 25%-30%. It reboots when I keep the power button pressed. It automatically tries to install again but this time it shows a red exclamation mark in a triangle when it gets stuck. I reboot it and it boots back to android 4.1.2. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
PS. My phone is bare bones stock. No root, no unlocked bootloader.
OK
first save your important stuff to the pc then
Do a factory reset from the recovery menu (power + volume up hold whilst on the red exclamation mark screen) and then redownloaded the update
If you do the factory reset from the setting option the update will still fail

This isn't my first HTC One, its my second. On the first one, I accidentally Reset it from the recovery and it wiped Android. I'm scared to do so. Are you sure it'll work?
Thank you so much for replying!
A Factory reset is just that, it should reboot in the Rom on the phone but just with stock boot settings for the rom
A factory reset resets it to the state in which it left the factory, hence the name.
I knew that it sounded stupid, but my first HTC One died because I used that. It wouldn't boot. Was it because I was rooted?

I reset from bootloader. It didn't work, it still doesn't update. Does it have to be when the red exclamationmark is on the screen?
if you have some applications disabled, you should reset app preferences an try again

I haven't disabled any applications. My phone seems to stop the installation process after about 20%-30%.
Hi,
I'm using an One M7 with latest OTA stock rom (5.0.2 with Sense 6.0 and kernel 3.4.10-g6388905) and it "loses" my wifi passwords after some hours after booting. The password entry in the connect list is then empty and it is not possible to enter a password there. I then have to reboot and then for some hours all passwords are there (without reentering them!) and Wifi works. The next day it is unable to log into Wifi.
Sometimes even the telephone is unable to make a call then.
I tried a soft reset, but it doesnt helps.
Is the only way to factory reset it? Are there newer stock roms, than the one I already got via OTA? It came after the last OTA, I think.
I don't want to miss Sense, and as I found there are no working Android 6 roms out...(even without Sense not).
Regards,
Stefan
Hi,
I did a complete factory reset and now its the same...
Has anybody any idea to not throw it away?
I found out, that sometimes activating the Wifi Hotspot and then deactivativating it (when it is not completely on, which doesn't work then) and activating Wifi works again ithout the reboot. But this doesn't do the trick always.
Stefan
Has no one any idea what to do?
Updating firmware?
Man I dont think anyone's alive in this forum. You can see if it's an app doing it by booting into safe mode. But you should just wipe the cache. So turn off phone. Hold volume down and power button until you get the boot loader. In boot loader scroll down using the volume button to recovery. Then press power button to select. The screen will go black but wait it will eventually boot into recovery. Then scroll down to delete cache. Hit power button. Scroll to reboot, hit power button and you are done. See if that works. If not in recovery you can do a REAL factory reset. Good luck.
Hey Guys,
I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP in order to try to upgrade to Oreo.
After a while i decided to just stop with it and leave it stock.
I relocked the bootloader, but now it is hangs at 99% factory reset. Rebooting the phone just brings it back to factory reset.
How do i get in to Fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader again and see if it will just boot up?
Tried different key combo's but it only boots in to the factory reset procedure.....
1. Connect the usb cable already with the pc
2. Press and hold vol- and the power button
3. Connect the phone with the pc when the screen turns black
4. Still hold the buttons until you can see the fastboot screen

Thanks! But i already tried that. Does not work. Always goes to Factory Reset.
Will let the battery drain for now and see what it does then.
i think you flashed the oreo compatible twrp on your phone this makes your nougat phone stuck in boot loop. Try to flash the nougat compatible twrp or try the stock recovery.
I had a problem just like this.
All I did was wait for the battery to drain while it was on the reset screen, and on next bootup it didn't didn't go to that screen.

I can't flash anything that is the problem. Cannot get it into bootloader or fastboot mode or anything.

I let it die, and then i plug in the charger and it boots. I see the initial setup screen but it then reboots again and goes to the Factory Reset loop again.
Guess i will keep trying
Ok i got a bit further.
When i let it die, and then plug it in it boots to android. But as soon as i reboot it, it will go back in to the Factory Rset procedure.
Also adb reboot bootloader does not send it to bootloader so i can unlock the bootloader.
I also tried putting firmware (UPDATE.APP) on an external SD card, but it will not do anything with that either.
Anyone any other suggestion?? Need to either unlock the bootloader, or somehow flash original firmware/recovery.

No unfortunately not. When it is booted after draining it, i can do adb reboot bootloader but it just does not go to bootloader. Just reboots back in to factory reset loop.

i think you already need to send it to huawei service center since you cant boot to fastboot.
I really hoped there was something i could do since it does bootup after draining the battery.
Somehow the factory reset procedure should be stopped so that it boots up after a reboot. There must be some virtual switch to set or something. Problem is i only have adb to do something.
I managed to fix the issue with a tip from another thread.
After draining it again i let it boot again. Then i did a factory reset from the settings menu.
The phone then rebooted and did a lowlevel factory reset. That also was stuck on 99%.
I then rebooted the phone by long pressing the on/off button. The phone then restarted the lowlevel factory reset and that succeeded.
Now its working normally again

Hello, I don't understand how you arrived to the menu to select factory reset. For me even if draining battery, it continues to loop in factory reset and stuck 99%. . can you explain the procedure step by step. thank you !

If after draining it still does not boot normally then this does not work for you unfortunately.

try to use this service firmware it will update your phone into B364
- put the dload folder into the root of a fat32 formatted SD_Card
- shutdown the phone
- While pressing vol_up + vol_down press power_on button the upgrade will be lunched automatically
if the file does not work please provide us with the exact phone model to get the correct file
