hello, trying to help a friend, he forgot his pass and his home button is not working
therefore can not enter to recovery to do a factory reset.
is there any other way without the home button? thanks
please help guys, tried adb shell but i need to allow the connection on the screen, can't because theres password
also can't get to recovery for factory reset because the home button doesn't work so i can't use the combination.
any suggestions?

I have a Wildfire S someone was just looking to get rid of. I'd like to try and set this up for my son to use, but it has a lock screen code and I've no way of directly contacting the previous owner.
I'd like to know the easiest way to just wipe the phone and factory reset it so I can try it out and see if it's going to work for me. I may try rooting/ROMing later, but right now I just want to wipe all their data etc. and just get it back to a factory reset state. If the easiest way to get this thing wiped is to root it and install a ROM I'd be find with that as well. (I don't have any experience tinkering with HTC phones).
Thanks for any help. I tried searching and wasn't able to find anything and there's no stickies I could find on the subject (If I missed an obvious guide I apologize).

you can directly factory reset it.
remove battery and again install it.then hold volume down and power button.
then you can see bootloader menu,and with help of volume keys select factory reset option and press power button.it might help to reset your phone directly.

Awesome - thanks - I was trying holding down Vol Up and Vol Down + PWR which is the way it's always been with Samsung phones.
My girlfriends phone was dropped, you cannot see the screen at all. Does not respond to touch. I managed to get her pictures music etc off of it but I want to restore it to factory defaults in order to remove all of her personal information. This is a stock phone with NO root.
I would think this will have to do with ADB, I have fooled around with ADB in the past but I dont have a clue as to how install/set it up again. Please leave a detailed instruction if possible.
I GREATLY appreciate any and all help in advance.
No need for adb just boot into recovery and factory reset.
To boot into recovery just hold down volume up + home + power button. Once in recovery just use the volume keys to navigate the options and use the power button to select factory reset.

Try watching a youtube tutorial or something that shows the recovery screen and then just figure out where the reset option is.

Please help me.
I was trying to get into the recovery screen/mode by turning on my phone and pressing the up/down volume key but it doesn't go into recovery. It just boots up as 'normal'.
But when I try to enter my pin code it doesn't recognise it, hence doesn't unlock. And yes, the pin code is definitely correct.
What do I do!!!??......................other than a hard reset.
Thanks
PS. the bootloader can't be unlocked. If that's any help?
I've sorted it.
Apparently whatever I did with the button sequence it had disabled the Xposed Framework. All is OK now.
I found an old while cleaning today, it powers on and seems to be working fine, there is a lock screen on it and I don't remember the PIN.
USB Debugging is not enabled.
I've been trying to boot into recovery mode with the combination
home + volup + power

But it just boots normally. I can't tell if I'm doing it wrong or if the home button is faulty (I can't use it to wake up the tablet)
Any advice would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have the same issue but on the SM-t575
Really annoying as can't get into recovery and can't do factory wipe or reset as that's not available and like you it is locked with PIN.
Hope someone knows here
Hi, how can I factory reset a Galaxy Tab Active 3 without the pin code? I tried rebooting it into recovery mode using the side button + volume down, but that only restarts the device. Side button + volume up + home button won't do anything. Any advice please?

Galaxy Tab Active 3 cannot get into Download/Recovery modeHello,
I have Galaxy Tab Active 3. When started it says Powered By Know. I am not sure if Know is enabled on it or not. Cannot login into it as I don't know the password. So I wanted to reset the device so I can use it as personal device.
However, when I tried to get into download/recovery mode with Power VolUp/Down these do not work. The device simply continues to normal boot mode, despite the fact I am holding Power/VolUP, Power/VolDown, Power/VolUp/Home - all combinations I tried.
Any advice how can I get it in recovery so I can wipe out everything?
