[Q] How to hard reset xoom wifi - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I picked up a xoom wifi from costco today and setup it up. But I'm unable to use it since i'm getting continuos FC's on application launcher.
I tried to hard reset but it's not working. Here is what i did.
1. Power button + volume down
2. Select Fastboot
But it is stuck here with "starting fastboot protocol support".
I tried couple of times to start over from beginning, but i keep getting stuck at this screen.
Any help is hard reset will be appreciated.

Soft reset = Up Volume + Power on for 3 seconds
Hard Reset = Factory Reset:
Factory Reset the Xoom
method-1

• Turn your Motorola XOOM tablet off and then Turn the Tablet on again
• On start-up when you see the Motorola logo, press and hold theVolume Down key
• When you see the Android recovery text, press the Volume Up key to put XOOM tablet in recovery mode
• On the Android recovery screen, press and keep holding the Power button then press and release the Volume Up key

How to boot into System Revovery/nandroid/ from a power off situation.

I was trying out a new setup on my phone when it got stuck on the Motorola M. I found that you can boot into System Recovery with out going through the app and doing a recovery boot. This is not the factory manual reboot procedure.
***Boot into System Recovery**
Steps
1. If stuck in M logo screen or Dexter's screen, pull battery
2. Insert battery and hit power button
3. As soon as you hit power button hold the Volume up button down until the unboxing logo comes up.
**Updated with info provided by 3rdstring**
And now you can use nandroid to go back to a earlier version of dexter's or what ever you have on your card.
I would also recommend to wipe the dalvik cache, and cache partition. You do not need to do a factory reset.
Hope this helps others out, no need to reflash to stock version when your phone bricks.
**Factory Reboot steps***
To Manually Reset
If there are significant problems with your device or you are not able to follow the steps above please use the following process to manually reset the phone:
Turn off phone
Press Power key + Camera Key + GalleryKey to power on the phone and bring up the recovery screen
When the Triangle/Exclamation point screen appears, press Volume Up + Gallery Key down and tap the camera key to show the recovery menu.
When the recovery window appears, use the volume up/down keys to navigate the menu and the camera key to enter your selection.
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Reboot Phone
You should only need to hold in the volume up button while powering on the phone to boot into OpenRecovery once it's installed either via Dexter's System Recovery app or through the directions on ModMyMobile.

I do believe that is what I said. Tested it myself. Hold the power button to turn on like normal, then just hold the volume up button down.

[Q] HELP!! Samsung Nexus S Crashed, Cant do anything

Hi
I have a Samsung Nexus S for past 5 months. I recently upgraded to the ICS. Last week, I was listening songs on my phone and all of a sudden out of nowhere the phone re-started.
After couple of minutes, saw a message on screen saying “encryption unsuccessful, you have lost all your data. This phone will now need to rebooted”.
Underneath this message, there was only 1 option of REBOOT NOW. I had to press the button since I had no other option.
After this the phone restarted but never went past the start up animation screen. After couple of days, I gave it another shot and after going past the welcome screen, it gave me the option to register the phone again. But as soon as that screen comes up, I get all these small messages saying, email has stopped, music has stopped, android process has stopped, calendar has stopped................ at this point the phone virtually hangs itself and I can’t do anything.
Can someone please advise what is wrong with my phone and how can I fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Try this, power the phone off, now press and hold the volume up & power botton at the same time, a menu should appear, now use the volume up/down buttons till "RECOVERY" is highlighted green, now press the power button, the phone will now reboot and in to recovery and show an android on the screen, at this point you need to press and hold the power button then press volume up briefly, a menu should appear, use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button, now use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "Yes -- delete all user data" once this is done select "reboot system now", this process will wipe the phone and put it back to factory settings, it won't delete usb storage though so you may need erase usb storage once you're up and running again.

I think that you have to push clockworkmod recovery image like when you root your device.

yeah, try using clockwork recovery.
that's much more usfeul than the stock one
i tried doing clockwork recovery, I cant unlock the bootloader, i did all the steps ie installed android drivers, went to command prompt, typed the command, I can see the option of unlocking bootloader on android but when I select yes, it still says locked. I guess I will have to give up on this phone.

Thanks for trying to help but I can't do anything. As soon as I launch my tablet it's frozen. And I got "System UI has stopped working" after factory reset. I did factory reset earlier because I had "System NS has stopped working".
So can anybody help?

Thanks but my tablet only has power button no volume. There are more buttons when I turn on my tablet but no physical buttons. As I said my tablet freezes so I can't do anything. If you need screenshot I can give it to you.

[Q] [Help] Moto G XT1033 Locked!!

I have a Moto G XT1033 indian version (v4.4.4). I was sharing files using superbeam when my phone suddenly rebooted. I have timepin app installed which sets the pin to the current time and my default pin is 1234. I tried both of them but it did not open. Tried the android device manager too but seems i did not setup remote locking. Motorola support doesnt list my device though i have an email which says my device is registered with Moto. Plus i tried booting into recovery but it says no command and android bot in distress. I dont want to lose any data but as a last resort i tried formatting too but the phone reboots normally and the format gets cancelled. I dont to lose my data, Is there anyway that unlocks my phone without wiping the data??
1.On The No Command screen , Press and hold Volume Up Button While pressing it Press power button for 2-3 Seconds And Release Power button You Will Boot In Recovery Now.
2.Don't worry it's normal problem... U Can Format if u want by using safe mode just press the power button and again press and hold Power off Option it will ask you "Reboot you to safe mode" just click yes And Reset your phone.

mobile data stopped working after OxygenOS 5.1.6 update

Hi,
I just had the OxygenOS 5.1.6 update on my Oneplus 6. and after reboot, I have lost the mobile data connectivity.
tried resetting network setting, but no use.
Also tried Hard reset (with the phone off) but of no use
Turn your phone off by pressing down the power key for five seconds.
Press and hold the volume key and power button simultaneously until the device vibrates and opens the Recovery menu.
Choose your preferred language.
Using the volume keys to navigate, go to Wipe > data cache > Confirm.
Reboot the device after this is done.
Can anyone help to resolve the issue or how to degrade to the previous version.
Is the factory reset the only option, please help.
Thanks
JJohn
i can say that it has become kinda dodgy after the update.
