Hello,
Well i am pretty much screwed unless someone can help me out.
I have my phone set to fingerprint lock screen. I performed the following command via ADB :
adb shell wm density 220 && adb reboot
the following message appears now because i think the DPI is too small:
"com.android.keyguard has stopped"
I do not have a backup - yes i made a big mistake.
My phone is not rooted and i would prefer to keep it this way for warranty. If i do not have any other option then i will root the phone but there must be something we can do to solve this issue.
Currently the phone is set to USB debugging mode but a message needs to appear for me to select "OK" or something for ADB to be used.
So the com.android.keyguard" message always appears and i cannot do anything else. each time i hit the OK button, and then the message appears again in not even 1 second. So i cannot get to the USB debugging mode and hit OK.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Can you get into download mode? If so just Odin stock firmware.

how do i get the phone into recovery?
I belive this is an actual phone ADB code adjustment that i did.... I need to someone undo what i did.
I need to some to format the phone and settings i think and then do the odin stock firmware install.
WHen i did what you guys mentioned above, the phone just rebooted back to its normal self without prompting any setup questions.
Take out battery put it back in. Hold down power, middle button, and up button until you were booting into recovery. Reset to factory there - maybe that works. Good luck

Flashing firmware over odin will fix what you did. Stop asking questions and youtube instructions on how to fix your problem. It's easier than coming back here and asking question after question.

Recovery mode is volume up + home + power while the phone is starting up.
Btw
Hey Everyone! Just wanted to say thank you very much for everyone support!
The fix ended up being a boot from safe mode i think it is called. (while phone is off, hold middle button, volume up & right button). I then proceeded to do a factory wipe and a partition cache clear. Rebooted the phone and it was back to a full restart. I now how to set the phone back up.
Anyone recommend a good app to backup the phone so if this happens again i can just run it in the "safe Mode"??

Hi there,
I've read through the stickies and searched for a solution to this problem. However, I am still unable to find a solution.
So, I my Galaxy S was rooted with One-Click Lag Fix and I decided to upgrade the firmware on it. I did not think that I needed to unroot it before I performed the update though. When the phone rebooted itself, it would show the Galaxy S start-up logo then go black. However, it does vibrate..at random intervals for some odd reason even if the screen is black.
tl;dr - Anyway, my Galaxy cannot go into recovery mode through the 3 buttons method and I can't seem to connect it to Kies or connect usb and whatnot. So, am I doomed to send it back for repairs? Or is there some way.
Thanks in advance!

Since it did start to boot, you might try seeing if you can issue the command
adb reboot recovery
Hmm I thought I have to enable/disable some USB settings (USB Debugging) before ADB Reboot Recovery works.
Nonetheless, I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks.
EDIT: No luck =\
I've only way to actually fix it is going into the recover mode and doing a factory reset .
Volume Down button + Home key + Power
Volume up button + Home key + Power
one of them goes to recovery other goes to the android installing thing.
try them both not sure which is which.
Yes I know. However, my I9000 is unable to do the 3 button method (some sort of bug/defect).
Basically, I have to bring it back for repairs =.=
my phone has been frozen at the samsung i9000 screen ever since opening this app.... i am very new to this do not understand most concepts here.. ie. flashing a rom. If anyone can help me get my phone out of this state or has any suggestions on how i should fix this please comment.
if you can get into recovery mode try flasing another rom via cwm or flash it using odin and download mode (flashing non wipe roms via cwm might leave your apps and data intact)
What is the full name of the app? How did you try using it? Do you know what firmware version your phone is on?
First thing to try is turn off, remove battery sim and any microSD. leave five minutes and put all back in and turn on.

the app is galaxy s tweaks or something very simalar (black and white logo) the two options i was given in the app were "YES-BREAAAAK my phone" and "NO- Im not crazy" i selected no and then my phone just reset and wouldnt turn on again ive tried everything i can do without hooking up to a comp ( as far as i know) but thx for the advice
Where did you get this from? It does not seem to be in the market.
OK just found it. Have a read off all the comments. Not good.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/gst-(galaxy-s-tweaker)/com.pommedeterresautee.lagfix
You could try restart holding Home Vol up and Power button then choose Clear cache and Factory reset.
or
Try restart the phone holding home Vol down and press power button to get into recovery mode. then plug in and open Kies go to tools and firmware recovery.

Is telling me i need recovery code, I have never received one.
Just read this so it may work for you.
disconnect the phone from USB, pull the battery, replace it, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone. Go back to Kies and tools firmware recovery.
In other words repeat what you have done :-s
Original post on Android Forums.
The message indicated that I would need a recovery code that could be obtained later by clicking Tools | Firmware Emergency Recovery Menu.
I was then instructed to disconnect the phone, pull the battery, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone which I did. The phone would not reconnect. At this point I called Samsung tech support and wasn't impressed when I was simply told to repeat the procedure. But to my surprise, the upgrade was successful the second time around. Go figure! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else ran into the recovery code message.

I have read that a hard reset is activated by:
1. Turn off.
2. Hold vol up/vol down/power on
3. Select Recovery using vol buttons and press power button
4. After several minutes, screen with red triangle will appear
5. Hold volume up and press return for menu to make hard reset
All goes well til #4. Here I get blank screen showing "Google" and it never moves into the red triangle picture and just freezes. I have waited over 20 minutes for the boot into recovery menu and nothing happens.
Have I missed a step or is something wrong? If onboard recovery process is broke is there a way to fix it? I would like to have access to hard reset should something dire go wrong.
No I am not rooted nor have I tried to root and have only loaded apps at this point.
Everything else is working fine and this appears to be an excellent device.
Thanks for any advice....
if you stuck on a screen, just hold power plus both volume buttons at the same time. hold it for a few seconds until you see your device reboot. hopefully you good after that. i got stuck on bootloader screen before and did that to get out of it. good luck!

I am stuck on the google logo right after i do recovery mode. i did what you said to get out of the google logo but i tried again to hard reset but it still is stuck on google logo. and i need to hardreset becuase i have forgot my lockscreen password and it is the only way i can get into the tablet.
oh ok. if that hard reset not working, might be better off trying to remember what the password was. you didnt write it down anywhere?
actually theres a way to reset it, or erase all of your data, go into developement section and check out wugfresh root tool kit or the one from Sambra. it will likely require you to unlock but all data n everything will be erased back to how it was out the box. thats your only hope. if you were rooted already, there mightve been a chance. but i think you have to run one of those tool kits to root and unlock. then itll automatically wipe the tablet clean of any previous data.

So the issue is that the tablet is freezing once you click "recovery" from the bootloader menu?
If thats the case - it's a pretty common known issue.
1) Boot into the bootloader
2) Plug the device into a USB port on your computer
3) Click recovery
That should allow you to access the recovery menu.

Same here - anybody got any solutions/suggestions?
I had trouble getting into recovery earlier, so I installed CW Recovery via Fastboot,
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-7-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-1-0-install-103346/
Now it works, before it was just sitting on that Google screen.
Forgot Pin lock
If you set a pin lock on your tablet make sure you remember it!!!
Apparently google or asus can't do anything so you would have to send it back for a replacement tablet.
Google customer service told me they are aware that the hard reset does not work for nexus 7 tablet.
And they might not even fix the known problem.
Plug the device into the computer before you reset it, otherwise the hardware buttons won't work in the bootloader.

I know how you can hard reset it
step 1) install android sdk
step 2) plug tablet into computer
step 3) boot into bootloader
step 4)
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem lock
step 5) enjoy factory reset tablet

Maybe if you unlock and root the tablet, that might work. But on a unrooted or locked tablet the hard reset does not work at all. Gets stuck at the google logo. Pluging it to the computer or without it won't work. Kinda silly isn't it?

You need to have bootloader driver installed. It comes with the SDK - after booting into bootloader, plug the tablet in, wait for Windows to try installing default drivers, then select to find driver manually and navigate to <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver. After the driver is successfully installed, keys start working again and the tablet boots into recovery successfully.

I also have one of those tablets that doesn't boot into recovery if you choose it from bootloader no matter if you hook it up to computer, don't hook up to computer, stand on your head, put your ankles behind your head, or beg it. It just freezes at the google screen.

AFAIK, for fastboot to work, bootloader drivers need to be installed.

Does fastboot reboot recovery work? Lock/unlock erases the device, so if you're trying to do factory reset, perhaps that's all you need?

Ya that works, if I use the os to enter recovery, no problems. Or adb commands to enter recovery, no problems. Just can't boot to recovery from boot loader with the recovery option in the boot loader menu.

Hi willter12,
Can you fix this issue?
I had the same problem, however, my N7 was rooted before. I recognized that my N7 CWR had been removed when rooted (another guy did it).
So, I installed the Toolkit from this and un-lock boot loader, flash back CWR, everyting was very OK to restore to stock. :victory:
Goodluck.
Hi my phone is unuseable now...
Everytime the messege Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stpped. Try again pops up.
I can't (or just don't now how to) enter recovery.
I also can't go to settings because the message pops up every 2 seconds.
When I click Force Close it goes back to the launcher.
Can I do a factory reset (I think it is solved then)?
How do I do that?

What ROM do you have installed? A stock one, or a custom ROM?
Infact in both ways you can do a factory reset by:
Plug in USB cable, enable usb debugging (if you have a custom ROM, it always should be on),
download the adb package from my noob how to (see attachments)
cd to the directory containing the adb files, type:
adb reboot recovery
Now you either are in CWM and can do the wipes 1 by 1, or if you have a stock ROM, it will perform
a factory reset right away
If all of that doesnt work, you have to use smartflashtool!

Did you try to get into recovery after charging it? You could reflash that way or nvflash it again.
But WHY THE RUM?!!!
Follow the instructions here:
Streak 7 Flashing Guide
to get into Recovery Mode. Then select option 3; "Factory Reset (User data and Internal tablet storage".
That'll get you back to bone stock assuming all you really did was root it. Done this a bunch of times. It'll work.

Using nvflash I got back to 2.2 but the problem remains that I can't boot into either stock recovery or fastboot in order to install an update.pkg.
I can connect in AXP mode but haven't found any instructions of how I can use it to perform an update or install a custom recovery. It's a problem on the tablet - all the drivers are installed on pc and I've never had any problem in the past, as long as I could get the phone into recovery or fastboot. The symptoms are soft keys light up, battery light flashes 4-5 times and then it shuts down. I can boot up normally into 2.2
I should probably find another forum for my 'new'/old problem...as I'm not stuck at Dell logo anymore :silly:

Okay, to get into the stock recovery and /or Fastboot mode you are holding the up/down volume button and the power ON button at the same time, correct? It does take a 2-3 seconds for either to come up on the screen.
You can't installing anything from APX mode or get into recovery mode from it either.

Have you tried to NVFlash 2.2 again? From your other post, you were on 3.2 before so I'd retry the NVFlash again, at least. It seems that you got into stock recovery mode before so the buttons did work before although I have heard of them getting stuck with both ON.

I re -nvflash'd 2.2 with the same result....successful flash and can boot into OS. Still unable to get into stock recovery or fastboot. The buttons don't feel stuck - but? Can I use nvflash to get anything other than 2.2 on to it? This all started with wanting nothing more than a 'simple' root Since I"m broken, any chance I can use nvflash to to get TWRP and ICSB4 on it - nothing to lose at this point
Another thought: would moving to a linux machine open up more possibilities?

Here's a test to see if your buttons are stuck since you have the NVFlash drivers installed, with the S7 OFF just plug into your PC, if you hear the normal audio sound when you plug in something into your USB port, they are stuck. Not sure if it would boot normally with stuck buttons.

Only one last suggestion is to redownload 2.2 and flash again.

Thanks, I'll try that. Is there maybe another download I should try with md5 check? Or just use the same one I have?
Third time's a charm?! :fingers-crossed:
Update: unfortunatley, no change. I guess for now my Streak is stuck on 2.2 and I'll use it as an alarm clock
