Nokia 8 force close/ hard reset - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hello guys, I have a major problem with my Nokia 8 on Oreo 8.1 Beta. I've installed substratum with andromeda and used some themes. After some time I rebooted the phone to improve stabilty. But now I can't start it, it goes just to lockscreen and then force closes system UI. I've tried to hard reset it but i can't find or enter recovery mode. can someone please help me, i may reward the one with the first solution. Please help.

Some themes do that i faced that issue back in 8.0. i don't remember how i managed to get into recovery but you need to plug it into your pc. I tried every combination that can be done with 3 buttons and somehow managed to get into recovery, but as i said i don't remember the exact combination.

When you are in that screen do the point 4: press and hold the power button and then press the volume up.

This did not work for me. I have the exact same problem as the OP and cannot, for the life of me, get into recovery mode. All I did was update to Android 8.1 as the phone prompted me to do and now every time it boots up I get a "System UI has stopped working" prompt.
I've Googled and Googled and no combination of hardware buttons or plugging into the computer has gotten recovery mode to work.

if you have usb debugging activated in the developer settings on your phone you can:
- install minimal adb fastboot and adb drivers on your pc
- plug it in to your pc turned on
- open command prompt in pc, then simply type in " adb reboot recovery" and then the phone should reboot to recovery and you can reset it.

Thanks! Reading the instruction correctly did the trick.
On the "no command" screen: HOLD the power and PRESS Vol+ (press but do not hold).

Try enter safe mode
-Reboot your phone
-hold volume down button
-wait until Vibrate several Times
-after you enter safe mode go to app management and uninstall theme

[Q] Recover SW Mode LGP970

Hi xda!
Well I'm gonna tell you my problem, recently I had a problem with SIM-lector so I have to send the mobile to the Technical Service, but I had Zeus Rom, so I wanna put it into a stock one, the problem is that I don't have SW Mode, when I start the phone holding vol + it started in recovery mode, not in SW mode, and the pc (with drivers installed yes, I reinstalled them, tried in a different computer, etc) does not recognize the device, so I tried to unroot the phone via app (gingerbreak) and as a result I got that my phone is still rooted and when I start the phone holding vol + it does not go to the recovery mode or SW mode it simply starts the kernel normally, I can enter into CWM (recovery mode) by app Quickboot and it restarts in recovery mode, but I can not enter in SW mode so I can not use SmartFlash Tool or KDZ to downgrade and unroot the phone :S
So I ask for a method to recover the SW mode. Please I'm desesperated I tried everything. :S
You are doing it wrong.
Try to press "vol +" and connect the usb to the PC. Don't press the volume button!
Thanks!
You want to enter the SW update,right? The process is to turn off the device, press the "volume +" and connect the usb cable.
When you said "when I started the phone", I assumed that you turn on the device. And no one said you are stupid.

[Q] Stuck in key test Clockworkmod

Hey guys,
This HTC One is my first Android (after years with iPhones....) and I love it! Yesterday I've rooted, unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Android Revolution ROM. Today I encountered a problem with Titanium Backup (it said the One isn't rooted) so I thought lets check out the bootloader. I accidentally got into the 'Key Test' function of Clockworkmod and can't get out
You should be able to exit by the back button but the one under the screen doesn't work. I've tried to hold the power button for over a minute but the only thing that happens is that the 2 buttons next to the HTC logo under the screen starts blinking. Holding the power button combined with the volume buttons also doesn't work.
I really hope someone has a solution for me.... And that is isn't waiting till the battery runs out
Thanks!!

Ahhh solved :angel:
I hooked it up to my macbook and gave her a reboot using Terminal. :laugh:
press power button for ~10 seconds and it reboots the system...
What do you want to explain by "I hooked it up to my macbook and gave her a reboot using Terminal" ?
Do you took control of your phone through your macbook? How?
There is a tool for Windows from the 'mini-sdk' (HTC) but because the device is stucked, the command stucked on "waiting for device".

INFO: For the others whom may encounter this kind of problem, I think the last chance is to wait until the battery becomes empty.
Also I have an HTC One stocked at key test menu and I can't reboot it or power down it;
when I press vol. down and up and power on screen appears commands like this: 114, 115, 116.
What I have to do to go in fastboot?
Thanks!

Open a command prompt in your adb/fastboot folder and type adb reboot. That's what the 2nd post says. being your in CWM recovery adb should work fine

Hi!
I've encountered this problem too.
I've tried a lot of procedures (adb, fastboot, etc) but all of them was not successfull.
The only thing you can do is to wait about your battery to be empty.
For me it tooks near 1 day.

Like other user said: in custom recovery you can simply use the adb commands!
Regards!
Hold down on power for 30 sec. It works, guaranteed. I was in that situation myself.
The Easier Way
The easiest way to get out of he Key Test is to hold down the Power Button for about 30 or more seconds and boom! Your out!
Hope it helped.

[Q] Bricked? If not, what can i do?

After installing Maclaw CW11.0 i decided to install SlimROM.
Now, It seems I'm in a Bootloop.
I'm unable to go to download mode or Recovery by using the buttons.. Vol Up(or Down) + Home + Power Doesn't do anything
Vol Up + Vol Down and then plugging in the USB cable doesn't do anything either...
I just see the SlimROM logo blinking for a while... then it stops... and it reboots...
Anyone any ideas of what i can do?

i think you forgot to wipe before flashing the new rom.
So pull out the battery, wait few seconds, put it in and try to reboot into recovery or download-mode.
Good luck
I'd love to do that, but how do I go into those modes if 3 button combo doesn't work nor vol up + vol down + plug in usb?

try this one (but without guarranty:
1. power off phone
2. remove battery.
3. plug in USB cable to computer and phone (with battery out)
4. hold Vol Up and Vol Down
5. drop in the battery while still holding the vol buttons
6. in 2 secs you'll be in download mode
Good luck
Thnx for the good luck
However, I've tried that method and it didn't work. I've ordered a USB Jig, maybe that can help.
Let you know
why cant you go to download mode
dont release those buttons until you go to download mode [do it when your phone is completly powered off]

Not a brick only no system support
Download mode - use three way comnations only when ur phone is totally turned off and press and hold them don't leave them
I own multiple phones and tablets and I can get every single one into download mode. Just not this one. The three button combo does not work, not even when I remove my battery first. As soon as I'm home I'll make a small video of what happens.
Btw, the only mode I can actually get in to is: POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
I get there by holding Vol Up & Power On
Any thoughts?

U r pressing wrong combination for download mode you have to press
Vol down + "power" + home and have to hold it to enter no s3 mini logo appears before download mode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tdznfLJsyY
see in this video he doesnt leave power button
and after that flash 3 way recovery from this thread by using odin - download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066407
@S. Phrenic
press vol up + menu + power much longer. The s3 mini logo appears 2 times and then recovery mode comes up.
if this doesn´t help, try ADB method
1. Download and install Android SDK
2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB
3. Press Win key+ r and type cmd
4. Type adb reboot recovery
5. Done. Phone should reboot into recovery
Good luck
In the video I'm showing 3 different things:
1. Vol Up + Power + Home
2. Vol Down + Power + Home
3. Vol Up + Vol Down
Non of them work. I checked your video, I don't see how I do anything different.
Duration change, check! I've now held it for 3 min.
I've got a S2 plus laying next to me and I can get into download mode without any trouble. This means I know how to get into recovery and download mode without any trouble.

Does my phone need to be turned on for the adb method?
it says, error: device not found
Kies doesn't see the device... because it's not powered i'm assuming..
Think I found my problem.... USB debugging is disabled... I think.... as I can't remember enabling it
Try emergency restore in Samsung Kies.

Yes it needs to be turned on to system with adb debug, or to custom recovery.
For emergency mode in kies I think you need download mode as well.
You don't need adb debug enabled to use download mode, but for some reason you can't enter dl-mode

Nokia 8 unable to boot into recovery

Hi
I need help to reboot into recovery.
Have tried most methods on youtube and most android webpages.
The vol up or down and power key all combos.
Only thing i could get was into safe mode.
Model: TA - 1004
Hardware: 64gb storage/ 4gb ram
Software: Oreo8 and was nougat 7.1.1 (didnt work for both)
Dev options: OEM unlocking selected.
Appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks!
Hello,
1- Nokia off.
2- Plug USB cable (mandatory).
3- Then push on vol+ until android robot appears.
4- Then push Power On first, maintain it and then press Vol+ to launch recovery menu.
Works fine for me.

Appreciated ty. gonna try
This does not work for me. I've watched videos on YouTube, and still, nothing. If I hold down the volume-up and power buttons, I just get the android logo over and over. This is a pretty essential functionality to be lacking. Someone on Nokia Support forums said some of the phones do not have a recovery?
Personally I tried several methods for booting into recovery, using the button combinations that were instructed on different sites. In the end the only method that worked for me, was enabling Android debugging and using adb to boot into recovery. Too bad that after all that, the recovery was of no help for me, as there was no option to wipe ART cache.

Same experience here, and again I was going for a cache wipe, but apparently Oreo manages cache different to Nougat. Here for what is worth, to the original questioner, is the note I made having finally got into recovery after many frustrating attempts:
1. Connect via USB cable to PC
2. Ensure ADB debugging is on and the "Transfer Files" mode is selected
3. At the command-line type: adb reboot recovery
The phone will reboot to an image of an android robot on it's back with a red exclamation mark and "no command" written on the screen
4. When you see this, first hold the power button down and then, while still holding the power button, press Vol+
You should now be in the recovery menu
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------
I played around with this method, originally Posted by cb_diamond, and found it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, this may be of help to the first questioner. Almost the same sequence as previously described but holding down Vol+ before attaching the cable, this seems to work consistently for me.
1. Power off your Nokia 8
2. Hold Vol+ down (and continue to hold it down)
3. Plug in a USB cable from your PC into the phone, after a few seconds "Powered by Android Appears" and several seconds later the image of the green android robot appears on screen. You can now let go Vol+
4. Next hold the power button down and while doing so press Vol+
Hopefully you are now in the recovery menu

Hello! First of all, try to check if you can enter into fastboot mode or recovery.. if you can, use HI suite to recover the phone.

I can´t enter fastboot or recovery. I tried every shortcut (Volume UP/Volume Down+ Power) ,but that doesn't work neither.
Have you tried erecovery ? Hold down vol+ while you plug in a power source.
Definitely eRecovery will work. That's volume up after applying power or power button. Not at same time because that'll give you normal recovery.
Try it a few times if it doesn't work first time.
It'll ask to download the full software (3GB).
