When I reboot with POWER + VOLUME + HOME I reach a menu with the options:
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update form cache
I then tried the first two to see if they are (act like) download mode but in Odin the tablet was not discovered. It is however discovered when the tabet plugged-in and is switched-on normally. So I guess the driver should be ok!?
I have rooted many phones and tablets but know not much detail because I am more a "Cyanogen Mod" kind of guy.
Please be so kind to let me know at which step I make the mistake.
Thank you

Hi! You have reboot into stock recovery. Try volume down instead of volume up together with Home & Power buttons. Good luck!

Just applied the 4.0.2 OTA update to my GSM Galaxy Nexus and after the reboot, even though i type in the correct password, my phone wont decrypt.
I read on android forums people with the 4.0.3 OTA having the same problems.
How can i reset my phone? How does Odin work? Somehow i am stuck at the screen with the android and his open chest
ok i got odin workin, needed to install the android sdk, wiping my phone now
Please note: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA
everything seems ok, i got into odin mode like this:
-connect your GN with usb to your computer
-start with power + volume down
-use volume up / down to select recovery mode
-confirm by pressing power
-you will see an android with a triangle
-press power and volume
-select factory reset
-confirm with power
-reboot
this worked for me only after i installed the android sdk, before that somehow i was stuck at the android with his chest open and couldnt select anything because somehow my device wasnt recognized
hope this helps
This also caught me out. Not happy.
Method I used (posted on OTA thread) worked without installing SDK:
Power off
Hold Volume + , volume - and power
You should get a green android image with the body opened with "Start" on the screen
Press Down till you get to recovery mode
Press power
Phone will reboot
You will then get same image of android (smaller) with red warning triangle
Wait a minute or two and then press volume + and power (not sure exactly what I did for this maybe it's just waiting)
Use volume down to select wipe data/factory reset and hit power
Select Yes - delete all user data and hit power
Once done select reboot system now and hit power
You are now back to zero and can start again.

The only way to decrypt an encrypted phone is using fastboot. Fastboot is a developer tool that runs on your computer. You need to download the full Google factory image or a full rom, and flash all of the files to your phone using fastboot.
CWM and other recovery software will not be able to factory reset the device.

This is not entirely true. You should be able to use TWRP 2.2.0. As well, have a look through this thread.

What is the command you have to type in prompt to do this?
I am also having trouble decrypting my phone. Factory reset it a couple of times and it is still encrypted.
hi everyone; my galaxy nexus is rooted and i'm trying to learn clockworkmod and i have e been format system, cache and data.. and my phone is not boot the anroid i press the power button screen is GOOGLE and padlock logo but no boot What should I do
is this a joke or what?
u formatted everything (included system where the OS is installed)...what do u expect to boot now? u deleted everything in ur phone
flash a rom
Oh boy... Here we go again... Sorry to be an ass but read people READ before go messing with your multi hundreds dollar/euro phone! And don't use the B word.
Flash a ROM and be sure to read what you should do, in what order, what the risks are and how NOT to do it. There is a huge information source right on these forums but try to give it some effort yourself.
/* end rant */
Now go to the devellopment section, read all stickies and if you then don't succeed: ask again.

how can i flas a rom i dont know please help
why would you think formatting system is a good idea? would you format your C: drive on your computer like that?
the good news is your phone is not bricked, you need to learn to use fastboot and reinstall android.

Welcome to XDA, next time a search would have gotten you the information you were looking for.
The good news is, you're not bricked. Boot into recovery manually, mount USB and attach your phone to your computer. From there you can drop a rom into your phones storage and flash.
Take some time and read through some of the threads. Starting with the pinned ones at the top of the page.
FLASHING a rom 101:
Switch off phone
Boot to RECOVERY mode by pressing the Volunme buttons and POWER button simultaneously .
Scroll the Volume button down till you see “RECOVERY MODE ” . Then press POWER button to select.
The phone will boot into Recovery mode and you will see the RECOVERY menu.
Using the vol buttons , scroll up or down to and perform the following actions :
Press POWER button to activate your choice
- Clear cache partition
- At Advanced – select it and choose Clear Dalvik Cache
- Select ” wipe data/factory reset” ( Read the NOTES below on this step )
- GO Back and select ” Install zip from SD card” – than select ” Choose zip from SDcard” . You will see a list of all your files in the SDcard – use the volume button to scroll up or down and select the rom zip file . Press POWER button to select it
Your phone will start to flash the new rom
Wait for process to finish and phone will reboot successfully into the new rom. This process will take 2-3 minutes to complete
NOTES : Most rom developers will advise you to wipe phone , ie clear data/factory reset when flashing their upgraded roms or new roms. The main reason is to avoid bugs or unnecessary force closures and all such reports with phone wipe clean will enable the rom developers a more accurate assessment of your issues. However this step is really unnecessary if you are flashing among roms of same build ( eg 4.0.3). It is advisable to wipe clean if you are moving from say 4.01 or 4.0.2 to 4.0.3. Anyway if you did not wipe phone clean and you faced continual rebooting , than last option is switch off phone. Boot back to recovery mode, select clear data/factory reset and reboot system
You use the same method if you just need to flash KERNEL only. Just copy the kernel zip file into phone and follow same procedures. NO need to clear data/factory reset if you are flashing kernel only...

Read before messing with your phone please.
It is a little late but with search you will find this thread easily.
you can just flash a recovery with fastboot no problem at all.
then boot to recovery and flash what ever u want.
Yo. Don't go formatting stuff unless Instructed to.
And also have a rom ready if you do this. If you would like a place where all the roms are I'll send you a link.
Are you a CDMA sprint or Verizon???
Or a GSM???
Hello everyone and sorry for my english...
I own a SM-T210 and right now it seems to be on a boot loop, so, as i did many times before with Samsung devices, y pressed VOL-UP+HOME+POWER and tried to wipe it via recovery menu. The problem is that as I try to go down to that option, the menu only goes down when I tap two times the VOL DOWN button, EG: reboot system now -> apply update from external storage - > wipe cache partition (doesn't let me highlight apply update from ADB or wipe data/factory reset)
For one minute, I managed to choose Wipe Data, but can't choose YES on the next menu, (no-no-no, etc).
Any ideas? Also tried to reboot in fastboot but it can't seem to find the device (ADB does, in recovery).
Is there an option to wipe it using ADB or ADB Shell?
Thanks!
Oh dear another one of "no no no no" group. Just scroll down when you see the nonono and just below that is the yes .
This is just a problem with the menu highlights. When you press down once, it does actually change the selection, the highlight just doesn't update.

Actually it is not a problem, it was designed so as to make factory resetting a bit difficult or not straightforward....

I have CWM installed on my Tab 7 and when I go to install the universal root that I copied and pasted into the external SD I get two messages saying in red
"failed to verify whole file signature"
and one saying in red
"failed file signature"
I downloaded the universal zipped root file twice and its the same thing over and over. I have USB de bugging on too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been up all night and been at it for hours trying to fix this issue.

When you select Install zip in CWM, select Toggle signature Verification, then choose your zip.
Not an option

Thank you for the timely response. Unfortunately I just noticed in the background in CWM that my droid man has a red triangle with ! point inside him. The options given to me are as follows...
Reboot system now
Apply update from ADB
Apply uopdate from Ext. Storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Which of these options should I use if any and or should I flash CWM again on Odin in order to get the screen you are speaking about?
If I do need to flash again what are the correct steps to clear what CWM is already in place? Thank you again for all of your help. I am a noob that rooted my SIII a while back and obviously it is a little different with the Tab 7.0.

Ok I did that and got a pass on Odin. Now my screen is still in Odin mode with a green droid in the middle and under that it says in white letters Downloading....Under that it says Do not turn off target!! in green letters. How do I properly restart? In CWM as normal? (Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen). Thanks...

Update...Just re read this
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
Trying now fingers crossed!!!

Bro,
flashing stock is final option....
try to boot in recovery mode. if you are in bootloop
@ How To Reboot to Recovery mode
- Keep holding Vol down + power (Side key) - As soon as device warning screen appears, keep holding Vol Up - with USB Connected to PC is important
then flash KETAN Rom...
this is from my experience. so it will work
take care. staY safe...
Just got this phone, bootloader is already unlocked, but trying to figure out how to get TWRP + LineageOS on it. Do you HAVE to flash Dr. Ketan's ROM for all this to work? I keep trying to just flash TWRP with latest R firmware installed and it will boot to TWRP at first, but once I reboot to system it just gets stuck on Samsung logo and won't go past that
Hi,
If your Galaxy Note 10 Plus is stuck on the boot screen, there are a few things you can try to recover your device without losing data:
Boot into recovery mode: Press and hold the power button, volume down button, and Bixby button (if your device has one) until the Samsung logo appears. Then release the buttons and use the volume down button to navigate to "Recovery mode" and press the power button to select it.
Wipe the cache partition: Once in recovery mode, navigate to "Wipe cache partition" and select it. This will wipe the cache files on your device but will not delete any personal data.
Boot into safe mode: Press and hold the power button until the Samsung logo appears, then release the power button and press and hold the volume down button. Continue to hold the volume down button until the device finishes booting. When in safe mode, all third-party apps will be disabled, and you can determine if any of them are causing the issue.
If none of the above steps work, you may try factory resetting your device. However, this will erase all data on the device, so make sure to backup your important files before proceeding.
If none of the steps work, you may need to flash the stock firmware on your device. This process is more complex and requires technical knowledge.
It's recommended to seek help from a professional technician if you are not familiar with the process.
