Anyway to factory reset note 3 via computer? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone. My friends note 3 screen broke. He can't see anything when turning it on. Instead of getting it fixed he just wants to sell it. The issue is he can't factory reset and erase his data since he can't see anything. Is there anyway to revert to factory any other way?

Samsung has software called kies. You can select firmware upgrade and it will wipe the entire phone.

How do I download it for computer?

Once you open it at the top you will see "tools". Click "firmware upgrade" and continue.

Try Ctrl+alt+delete

Seriously though... I had this problem with an s3. The trick I did was boot another note 3 into stock recovery and follow suit with the broken one. Then using the working one as a guide use the volume and power buttons as navigation and copy button presses on the broken screen one as you're doing it on the working one until you have successfully reset the thing

Try to click on the pics.
The app won't help, i've got the pro version of it.
But my problem is with the phone not recognizing my fingers, not the pen.
Use the *#0*# and the touch test to confirm

RAM full - 0Mb free. Please help.

I didn't have this problem on stock 4.3, but since I unlock my bootloader and now using Doomlord's Advance Stock kernel, reflash my ROM, RAM keeps building up after sometimes of using the phone, play some games.
Is it a kernel problem or somethings else?
This is what I got when trying to take a screenshot, it was about 5.4Mb free right before (I did clear all apps running in the recent task)

Well thanks, guys. Back on Stock kernel and it seems better.

What do I have

Sorry for the noob question but, I just traded for a Nexus 6. It is a non branded unlocked 64 gig model.
This is a screen shot from the phone. It's not rooted. Is this the normal build? I want to root it but most of the info is for Lollipop.
Thanks for your help....

That is the Android M test build. When you boot the phone up, the first screen that says Google, is there a padlock symbol at the bottom? Obviously, the previous owner unlocked and installed this test build.

To root, the process is the same for all nexus 6. Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, flash superSU zip from TWRP.
or you can flash twrp, then flash a custom kernel and the supersu zip within twrp recovery and youll boot up with root
Cool....thanks guys!!

Deleted Note 4 Operating System and won't function

So I rooted my phone, but in the process deleted the operating system somehow. Now, it won't work unless I download Cyanogenmod. Any ROM that use Touchwiz won't work. I have tried Sammobile firmware for my T - Mobile Note 4, but the md5 file won't download. Odin will stop almost immediately after saying "Writing." it says "Fail <AUTH>" then nothing. I have tried many options, but the only conclusion I have come to is that I need to get Samsung Firmware back on. I just don't know how exactly to go about that. Thanks in advance for the help everyone.
Have you tried using Kies?

but it just more confuse me...
many talks about soft bricks
and 4.4.4
no talking about 4.4.2 that this is my situation now
You would have to flash all the files in succession. Download a file, rename to update.zip, place on phone sd card, flash via recovery. Download the next and repeat the steps. They must be flashed in a certain order though.
