Hello everyone, my me176cx I entered the password lock screen and now I do not remember anymore. how can I do a factory reset? I tried pressing volume + and power button, enters droidboot but there is the option factory reset, there is only the option recovery but recovery takes me to a page where there is the little robot with a red triangle and written "no command". how can I do? thank you
I have the same problem, the thing (K013) does not enter into reset mode, any help?
Use temporary twrp... ...now search (This way you can leave your data untouched - if you do a research)
2. Use magic comnination to show the recovery menu (search ahain) - this will wipe all you data including /sdcard/

Hi,
I want to factory reset (wipe user data, install fresh system) my ME176CX.
The tablet runs Lollipop 5.0 (second update by ASUS) and is rooted -- done
with the temporary CWM method. The second OS-update was installed
via the temporary CWM method, too.
What I did:
Titanium Backup of all user data.
Remove SDcard from tablet.
Shut off tablet.
Press volume down.
Press On/Off
Boot into droidboot (bugdroid standing in the middle of the screen)
Select Recovery
Press On/Of Switch
The screen instantly switches to a llying bugdroid with an exclamation mark
sign above its stommach.
A message on the screen below says: Error!
I could switch off and reboot normally into the "old" system.
What's going wrong here? How can I start a reliable and valid
factory reset?
Thank very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
tuxic
Hi guys!! well im here again, whit a huge, HUGE problem in my S3 Mini [I8190L]
I want to wipe /Data (factory reset) but I tryed in all ways I know but it doenst work!
First at all, i have a crazy problem with my recovery mode.. I tryed with two recoverys, TWRP 2.8 and CWM and this is what happens:
Whit TWRP : after press VOL+ HOME and POWER buttons, I get the TWRP intro image and few seconds after my phone auto reboot so I cant enter in recovery mode with TWRP
Whit CWM : after press VOL+ HOME and Power buttons I can enter in recovery mode, I CAN WIPE /CACHE, but when i select the wipe /Data option, the process starts and 2 seconds after my phone auto reboot
Well, backing at the main problem, i tryed the easy way for the factory reset => Settings - backup & reset - factory data reset Option
and when the phone reboot, i get a black screen after the white letters from S3Mini.
I can fix that black screen by two ways :
flashing PARAM with odin
connecting my phone when it is in that black screen to my pc, open a little tool called "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and send the command "adb reboot bootloader"(note: my phone reboot but just in normal mode i dont know why)
In both cases my phone reboot, and it starts again in normal mode, loading android correctly. but EVERYTHING IS LIKE BEFORE, nothing changes, all my data is there, no factory reset :crying::crying:
As a last option, searching in forums I found a tool called "Universal ADB Helper", which send to the phone, by PC, adb commands for a lots of things. Well, setting my phone in USB debugging mode, the first command to send is for rebooting in bootloader mode, but my phone reboot IN NORMAL MODE all the times!! ONLY DOING THE 3 BUTTONS THING I CAN GET THE BOOTLOADER MODE, and doing that, the tool doenst recognizes my phone anymore, so I cant send to it more adb commands!!!
I think the only way that i have for wipe all my data is by Odin, but i dont know how. Also I would like to fix my recovery mode.. i dont care if i have to wipe ALL partitions and re-flash one by one. I hoppe somebody can help me in this trouble.
note: I dont know if this has something to do but, when i go to Settings- Storage for see the internal storage structure, my phone auto reboot
note2: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!!!
THANKS U ALL.
SOLVED!!
Well guys really really thanks u for the big help [Insert Sarcasm here]
I was looking in other places and i found the solution.
I flashed whit Odin a PIT file for the I8190L model and the stock firmware and it works!!
Recovery mode was restored and i was able to wipe /Data. The next step was just flash CM 12.1 and done!!
(note: i think /Data partition was corrupted... but well, who cares)
Ty again for ur answers and help...... LOL. Cya guys
Try to install official ROM make sure file is not corrupted.
I have the "no command" screen with the android man , however it flashes in and out. when i hold down the power button and go into ap fastboot mode, i cannot go into recovery (it just shutdown the phone) and factory reset does not work. My phone is a non dev version, is there anything i can do?
Good night!
I come to this great forum where I have solved several problems and clarified several doubts of mine in computer hardware besides assembling several PC's, to get a doubt with a smartphone (which is not so doubt!
I have a device, the HTC ONE M7 I bought in England a few years ago (IMEI still valid in 2018!). This week I had an unusual problem because I did not find something similar on the internet.
One day when I went to recharge it it was simply locked in a menu and could not enter the normal mode of use (I was without access to the internal options of the phone). I turned it off and after 3 minutes I turned it back on and it started normally and went to a screen asking for the ANDROID password. But with any password entered it always returned the alternative to make the RESET of the device. After confirming this RESET option he would go to a first menu with the options:
- reboot system now;
- apply from sd card;
- wipe data / factory reset;
- wipe cache partition;
- reboot to bootloader;
- power down;
- view recovery logs;
- apply from phone storage.
I tried all the options of this first menu and it ALWAYS returned to that same menu.
The second (and most obvious!) Option was to turn it off, press the POWER and VOLUME buttons and access a second factory menu, with the options:
- fast boot;
- recovery
- factory reset;
- yes lock;
- check smart sd;
- image crc;
- show barcode.
Almost all of the above alternatives returned me to this same second menu. But the FACTORY RESET option of this second menu led me to the first menu. And so do not exit these screens (the first and second menu options) even using the wipe data / factory reset option of the first menu after using the FACTORY RESET from the second menu!
Is it hardware/software problem? (the appliance did not get wet or fell)
Anyone have any suggestions?
Note: I already removed the battery for more than 1 hour, but the problem continued!

Flash new RUU and that's it. It's the easiest way out for this moment. You can read about it on the forum.

The first menu you are talking about is the "stock recovery" menu and the second one is the bootloader menu. The factory reset function is handled by the stock recovery hence why it will bring you back in stock recovery after selecting "factory reset" from the bootloader. What is not normal is your phone booting back in recovery after trying a factory reset. This might be caused by a corrupted or defective emmc.
You'll need to get fastboot on your computer so you can post your "fastboot getvar all" output and determine what RUU you could try to flash.
I tried to install twrp in my Moto e5 (XT1944-6) device. I flashed the latest twrp image using adb platform tools. But when I switched to recovery mode, the TWRP logo appeared for a long time.
Instead of TWRP UI, a screen came called "Mount". It told me to enter a password,and a keyboard was open. There were 2 options " cancel" and "change language".
But I wasn’t able to do anything. Touches were not working. After a few moments the screen slept.
When I clicked the power button, a complete WHITE SCREEN appeared.
I was trying to go to fastboot mode, but it was coming to recovery mode every time. After a few try, somehow I switched to fastboot mode & restart my device.
Again I went to recovery mode, but TWRP wasn’t there. It was the stock recovery and still it is. Please help!

stock overwrites the recovery, you must change the rom to avoid it, and the password thing is called encryption and to remove it you must hit cancel, wipe format data and write yes [THAT WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA]
