Newbie here....A pola200 came to me for password...incoming and outgoing call working..how ever there is a password..wats the best way to remove the password...Or how do i go abt hard resetting it
Thanks in advance

Well as i see there is no one answering me the question....
I found my own solution:
Hard Reset:
On the 02 Orbit2, make sure the phone is powered on and then press AND HOLD the Windows and OK buttons down at the same time, THEN use your stylus to press AND RELEASE the reset button (while you CONTINUE to hold down the Windows and OK buttons). You should get a grey-ish/white screen explaining how to complete the hard reset or how to cancel the operation.
If you cannot see anything on your screen due to the OS being totally messed up (in other words, as long as it's not hardware failure), then you need to put your device into bootloader mode (4-color screen) so that you can flash the ROM (either what you already are using, or a newly cooked one - either way you need to have a ROM image file on your computer to complete the flashing process).
Bootloader Mode:
To enter bootloader mode, press AND HOLD the camera button and then press AND RELEASE the soft reset with your stylus. When the screen is showing the 4 color bands, plug in the USB cable between your computer and phone flash the ROM.

Thanks man, working good.
Very thanks
Hi all,
after installing volDeus BG tweakv 0.5 my phone died. i can't restart it and i can't perform a hard reset. i also tried the red reset button from the back - nothing. it's not even charging. i tried a different battery but didn't solve the problem. any help would be appreciated. i don't want to send it back for repair.
It happened to me after manilla, i made this factory reset and after that the phone worked fine.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
thanks for reply. like i said, i can't perform a hard reset because the phone is not responding. when i press the volume up, down and power button nothing happens. i don't know what to do.
Ahhhhhh.. me 2
My hd was dead during flashing and still not working but a good thing......
I bought a new HD2.
But if some one have an idea plz let me know.
Thanks in advance

If you're unable to perform a hard reset with the hard keys as explained above, you don't have any other choice but to send it in for repair as far as I know...sorry.
I'd suggest first taking out the battery for a couple of hours and then try again.

Also try this;
1. Remove the battery
2. Plug the USB cable to your computer and to your HD2
3. Push and hold volume down/up
4. Insert the battery
Normally the HD2 would start when doing this.

1. L3nny, for future reference, Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5 already has the voldeus skinning function built-in, so there's no more need for it in the future... but since you've got it now... calm down and bear with me here...
2. Voldeus' skinning does not mess with your rom image at all, and any changes can be reversed with a HardReset (i've been there and done that). A HardReset does take 3 hands and a few tries to get it for the first time. The red button on the back is only a SoftReset, same as taking the battery out, so that's not gonna work. And since you've just seen the bootloader now, your previous HardReset attempt probably didn't have the correct buttons combination, so it never worked. Try again using this combo from TBoy2000's HowTo thread: remember it's pressing volumeUP AND Down together AND Power button. you need three thumbs

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

hard reset is not working. i don't think i do it wrong, because it's not the first time i try this.
i copied shell32.exe and aygshell.dll from voldeus' post an dput it on my sd card. i chose some settings, chose the wallpaper and soft reset. but the phone froze at start-up. i put out the battery and from that moment, i couldn't do anything.
if i can enter the bootloader does it mean i can install HSPL and maybe a stock or custom ROM? but if something goes wrong i loose my warranty!
please help me guys, i'm lost.
1) Maby your battery charge is too low ( maby, your usb port is broken and charging is not ON)
Try to connect your HD2 to charge
Its will be better if you will go to service centre.
sorry for my bad English

Is your machine tied to a certain provider? If it is send it back and get a new one.You obviously have a faulty machine.Easy way to bootloader,
Hold volume down.
Take off back.
Press red button.
Bootloader appears flash radio or ROM
i tried with another battery and nothing changed. so i solved this problem already.
yes, it's an orange phone. what would be better: trying to flash a new ROM (if something go wrong i loose the warranty) or send it back for repair?

I dont know but i think that: to flash a new ROM you must enter in bootloader.
It is better to change a device for the new
Its a critical problem. This problem can appear again even if you repair your phone.
If you have official guarantee - you must change your device ( go to your service centre )
DUDE!~!!!!~! You're already in bootloader, just flash your original orange STOCK ROM already and be done with this!!! ALSO, you MUST take out your SD card, since that maybe the problem to begin with (having your core system files at the root of your SD is not a smart idea). If that DOESN'T work, then send the damn thing back to Orange for an exchange! Your choices are really simple, why are you wasting everone's time with this!
Good luck
i just wanted your opinion about my problem beeing a beginner in WM phones. i think always is better to ask a second opinion, especially when you are a newbie. if i wasted someones time i'm sorry.
anyway, thanks for the answers. i'll send it back to orange.
I wouldn't send the phone to repair.
1. enter bootloader-mode
2. mtty task29 search forum
3. enter bootloader again
4. flash orange original rom
5. after flashing perform a hard reset

Use the volume keys to navigate through the options then use the power button to select the option that you need.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
try nvflash'in it again.. that will resolve you.
i've tried the power batten it really does nothing at all....
When you're scrolling down and hit the bottom of the menu and it goes back to the top if you do it a few times it says the buttons were disabled and you have do it again a few times to re-enable them. You wouldn't happen to be disabling the buttons and that why it doesn't work? You could also try using the touch version of CWM
Do you have rom manager installed rite?

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so forgive my errors (if any):
I have tried a few things on my TF700:
1. I have installed the rooting tool from asus website and after activating it,
The first boot scrren said (on top left corner) "the device is unlocked"
When running the app again it would give an error.
2. I tried soft reset - nothing there.
3. I went for hard reset - I accidently went for the left most icon....
After a little investigation on a few pages here I think it is in APX mode..???
It turns on but stays in the first screen with the white ASUS logo on screen & thats it...
Any ideas anyone???
How do I save my precious TF700??
I tried connecting to it through USB installing (Linux):
cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/60-nvflash.rules <<END
# nvflash support for Nvidia Tegra systems attached to USB
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0955", ATTR{idProduct}=="7820", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

If you use the Asus unlock tool, you should not brick your device. It looks like that you wipe your system some how. I am guessing here... Can you do some test for me? If you on the Asus screen, just press the power button for about 10 seconds until it shuts down and then keep holding the power button with the volume down at the same time until you are going back to the three icons, thanks. I just want to see if you can get back to your recovery...

I already tried that...it just loops the same shut down to ASUS LOGO screen with no response to the volume down button.
I also let it run out of power so to try & get it out of this loop which resembles an APX loop but in vain...it just keeps on powering up to the same state...
Will give it another go....
There isn't even a pause where I can slip the volume down button in, that is why I let it run out of power to slip the volume down button in...& that is what I am going to do now...let it charge for a short while and power it up with the volume down button (which did not work for several tries...)

The device will enter in APX mode only with the Volume UP + Power buttons combo and to get out of that mode you need to hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds.
If you can't get to the bootloader menu (the one with the 3 icons) anymore you are out of luck and only Asus can repair your device. APX it's useful only if you have the NvFlash backup.
Inserting a microSD with an original Asus firmware is also useless if you can't access the bootloader menu because you can't boot in recovery mode.

Make sure you do EXACTLY what sdbags said - he IS the expert.
With the tablet powered OFF, press and hold BOTH the power button and volume down button together, for at least 10 seconds. It should bring you back to the screen with the 3 icons. RCK, android robot icon, wipe. RCK gets you to recovery mode where you can use TWRP for recovery/flash installs, etc. Middle android is the cold boot option which sometimes fixes problems like you're having. Don't do wipe unless someone like sdbags explicitly tells you.
Hope you can fix this.

Well guys...thank you all for your help & time...
I tried everything anyone here suggested but unfortunately ended up with the same result: ASUS white logo screen.
The tablet is still under the first year time period...any suggestions as for how to get it fixed (RMA) without paying tones of money?
What should I say happened???
Guess RCK does not work on my device...(?)
Thank you all...
Did you try the middle android icon to see if that helped? You switch to the middle one by pressing volume down, then select it by pressing volume up.
The device also have a reset button (a tiny hole near the micro hdmi port),use a paperclip to press it and hope for the best.
As for the RMA ,Asus could charge you for repairing because you unlocked the bootloader but some users here on XDA also reported that Asus repaired their device for free even if the bootloader was unlocked.

I'm a little confused, but if I can't get access to fastboot, is it all?
hello, i have a starmobile engage 8 tablet from Philippines that I was able to root. i guess the bootloader is LOCKED, there is NO RECOVERY, and I can't install one. usb debug mode is unfortunately DISABLED without thinking that my tablet will have problems. when i restarted the phone, it showed me splash screen/starmobile logo then followed by a blank screen. after around 5 minutes, it restarts and then same thing happens.
what can be done in this case? please help!:crying:
keep trying to fix it!

I feel your pain, I have the same unit with a different issue but my temporary fix might help you.
Rooted my phone and installed a game(was in the middle of copying a file to the obb ), forgot to activate modded play store and restarted the tablet trying to do a quick modded play store install. after the stupid move My tablet now keeps restarting and stops after the star mobile logo and restarts again and it just keeps restarting.
What I did is I randomly press the following keys to attempt finding the safe mode: home+volup, home+voldown, pow+volup and etc... I finally found the safe mode and did a factory reset which did nothing to fix the restarts. Try not doing this!
Then I pressed and hold both volume keys when the star mobile logo shows up and the red star mobile logo turns blue completing the boot process for some reason starting the tablet.
As of today my engage 8 still does the infinite restart if I restart it but I can bypass it with the method. Hope it helps you.
Planning to do a cache/dalvik cache wipe when my research is done to try and fix this tab, good luck to me...
thanks for your reply... what i thought was that starmobile technicians do not want to share the key combinations. and im glad that you figured it out. can you remember that specific combinations you used? so that i can try then...
just so you know, i sent the unit to star mobile for repair and they managed to fix it. unfortunately i made the same mistake so i just dumped it.

There are only a few buttons on the phone. I mean, if you have 3 buttons, there are 3 combinations.
Assuming your phone has 3 buttons try:
Power + Volume Up
Power + Volume Down
Power + Volume Up + Volume down
If your phone has 4 buttons also try:
Power + Vol Up + Home
Power + Vol Down + Home
Power + Vol Up + Vol Down + Home
NOTE: Press ALL the buttons and hold in the same time.
NOTE2: Try the combinations in the order from top to bottom
