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.

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.
Today after trying to remove the lagfix from the MCR scripts program , the program crashed.
Which i then reboot the phone hoping to restart the program again but now the phone just stays at the boot screen for hours.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
A factory reset will do
yeah i tried all methods both 3 button boot method and USB Debugging method simply couldn't get into the factory reset screen for me to choose it.
Unless there's a factory reset button that i can press?
What other way i can reset the phone?
i have been using my note for about three weeks now.. but for the past two weeks, i noticed that when i lock my note, it automatically opens.. it's like im pressing the home button.. then the screen will sleep then open again and again.. what will i do??
Hello
Is your note original not rooted?
Try factory reset!
Home button volume up and power button.
Hold it for a few seconds.
Than you are in recovery and select factory reset.
how will i do that?? it's original not rooted
No problem
just hold power and home and volume up together for a few seconds.
You will come in recovery and select factory reset.
and when finish reboot.
then all my files will be deleted?? i just rebooted it then it stopped opening it self.. when it happened again i will reset it just like you said.. thanks for the help
Its normal that you have to install all again because
a factory reset will wipe all applications
Nice only reboot and good again
thanks for the help
Wiped data cache AND dalvik, flashed to Malladus, installed GApps and LGApps at the same time. Been sitting at the android animation for at least 45 minutes all three times and still wont boot. I'm downloading stock image but was hoping someone had an experience similar and had an easy solution?

And now I offically think my phone is screwed. I cant boot into recovery, every time I try it wont enter and just reboots because I'm holding the power and volume down buttons. So far I don't think I can enter download mode either.

How to get into TWRP with hardware keys on G2
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.

Thanks for replying. I've read how to get into the recovery menu many times. Something is wrong with my phone that prevents me from doing it. I'm assuming its hardware related. I was almost ready to give up yesterday when I found out that if I do the key combo while plugging it into USB, it enters the menu normally. At that point I was able to restore my backup and start again.
I think my phone has a fluke, but I've figured out a way around it.
For those who are using Malladus on Verizon, something was wrong with the radios in the set. I had to find a seperate KK baseband file for the VS980 and flash it over top of the ROM to get it to work. I'm not saying its the same results for everyone, but I tried every variant of his directions (just in case) and was unable to get LTE online. It was the seperate BB file later on that fixed it.
Hi,
I just received a phone of a friend that hit the floor a little bit too fast. Now it is cracked and there is just a black screen but the phone can still be turned on. As I don't want it to go to waste, it's still partially working and someone can probably make it whole again, I want to sell it. But for this I need the private data to be erased.
So a factory reset is my goal, but for some reason it doesn't work out. I tried the following (which I found somewhere around here but I can't find the thread right now):
1. Get into recovery
2. Press 3 times volume down + power
3. Press 7 times volume down + power
4. Wait for two minutes
5. Press power again
This should erase the data and reboot the phone. I tried it several times but for some reason it doesn't reboot and when I turn it on again it shows my friends user name.
After that I rooted the phone and installed TWRP which worked perfectly fine. But I think I made a mistake there as TWRP is touch only, isn't it? Do I need to download the stock rom and try the factory reset again or is there any other way I can go from here?
