I read that the factory reset unroots the phone. I've done that on numerous attempts and it hasn't work. Please help.
I've also tried to press the volume up and power button which took me to the boot mode selection screen but it doesn't allow me to select anything. Again, please help.

Guys,
I've tried various searches but I can't come up with an answer that works for me.
When attempting a factory/hardware reset one has two choices:
1. Use the software option.
2. Hardware option using button presses.
I'm looking for a procedure to execute option 2. I can get into the bootloader (Vol Up + Power).
Once in the bootloader, I can navigate to the "Recovery" option but once selected my NS doesn't appear to do anything, it just sits there with an "!" inside a triangle and the little android-droid on the screen.
I doesn't move from there no matter how long I leave it and there are no prompts/confirmations.
Once in that state, if I remove the battery and the reboot the phone boots up as if nothing happened...everything is still there, all my accounts still work etc. Basically the actions had no effect.
Does anyone know how to factory reset the device properly? My device non-root btw.
TIA,
Syphon.
I think, for the stock recovery, once you get the ! in the triangle you need to press or hold volume-up and power button again, then it will take you to recovery.
Ah cool.
Thanks for the tip, I will remember that for the next time I need to do it!!

On my phone, after 2.3.1, it's power button first, then while holding it, volume up, and only while the box dumping an arrow onto the little android is showing (maybe a second or so). Once the "!" in a triangle is showing, no key combo will get my phone into recovery. Timing is critical. Took me a few tries and a few helpful posts here to get it right.
Oh, also, you can do the ULTIMATE factory reset on this device by doing a "fastboot oem unlock" on the device (then relock it with "fastboot oem lock"). This wipes the sd card as well as the personal data in the rom space.
Awesome, thanks for all the information guys. Much appreciated.

Try this link and read carefully first because cyanogen requires extra steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838072

You can wipe data/ factory reset after installing the stock firmware. Boot into Recovery Mode by holding down Power and Volume Up buttons together until the screen turns on. When the Samsung logo appears, let go of the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery. In Recovery Mode, select Wipe data/Factory reset and select Yes on next screen. Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet
So i flashed the device and it said passed. It rebooted but it's stuck on the samsung logo after it does the sound. I'm able to get into download mode any ideas?

Glad to have helped you out. Give a hit to my thanks button, if you don't mind.
I have updated my H60-L12 to the latest stable ROM B532 through the various incremental upgrades. Everything seems to be working fine. Fastboot gives my phone as still being unlocked...yet on trying to load the twrp recovery via the method suggested with the latest multitool, I keep getting the message: "failed remote command not allowed"
Could it be something in my settings? Does anyone have any suggestions?
C command :- remote command not allowed

Honor 6X BLN-L24
I had the same issue for the longest and tried everything possible under XDA's advice. its for the first time that I was not able to find the soloution to my isuues with the phone. Desperation let me to keep on trying until i accidently found how to a "Hard Reset" which eventually solved this issue
1) Power your phone off.
2) Hold Vol Up (+) Button, while keeping it pressed push the power Button.
3) As soon as you see the honor logo (blueish color), move from Vol up (+) to Vol down (-) While Still Pressing The Power Button.
4) Keep Pressing Vol (-) and Power Button, --> will go through "turning your device on" --> Blank Screen --> Hard Reset Menu.
5) Well everyone knows from this point onwards --> Wipe It Clean, Reboot, Just like New.
Hope this helps.

U can try to factory reset from settings too
I have a boost mobile LG Stylo that I rooted last November using 6th_Hokage's custom room method provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/development/boost-stylo-5-1-1-zv5-custom-rom-v1-t3216307 on this forum. I used the rooted-zv5-system.img file. All has been well for 7 moths until last night when I was using Google Chrome and the app hung (which happens occasionally, not frequently). Had to pull and reinstert battery and upon booting, I am getting in this weird loop of Setup/Activation Wizard - Wifi Connect - and TalkBack Activation that I cannot get out of. HOME and RECENT SCREENS buttons are disabled, BACK button is enabled. I am assuming some corruption took place.
Can anyone point me in the direction of steps to take on resolving this? I am good either going back to factory or root, I just need my phone working. I have reviewed this forum, and am confused on best option on how to proceed, or do I have a permanent brick.
Thanks so much in advance for the assistance!
I'd reset it from recovery mode. I reset my phone whenever it acts wonky. When you do reset it in recovery do it like 3 times like you are clearing it out to put in a rom. If all else fails you can at least flash the rooted rom or original rom again, Good Luck! At least you have root, I'm on 6.0 and no root sux big time!

Thanks so much. Cool, I hope it is an easy fix. Because I am pretty much a noob with this stuff, I have never "cleared it out" to put in a rom. I might have done it, but do not recall. I will have to review my process steps again to make sure. Any chance you can provide some step by step instruction that I can follow with regard to resetting and clearing out from recovery mode?.
Here are the steps I found online, does this look correct to you...a hard factory reset? Is this ok even with rooted phone?
Hard reset LG G Stylo
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume Down key + Power Key about 6-7 seconds
Release Power key when LG logo appear
When still pressing Volume Down key, press Power key one more
Release Volume down key when Factory Data Reset menu appears
Use Volume key to select “Yes”
Pres Power key to confirm.
I do still have the rooted rom I originally used and instructions from 6th_Hockage...are you saying that if I just flash that again following the steps I used to originally root the phone that this will work even though the phone is already rooted?
Thanks!
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume Down key + Power Key about 6-7 seconds
Release Power key when LG logo appear AND it says "Recovery Mode"
You'll get a recovery menu and you use the volume up and down keys to highlight the "factory reset" after highlighting "factory reset" press the power key to activate selection. Do that three times and you will have a clean slate of your rooted rom.
You don't have to re-flash the reset will be the rooted rom
Did it work???

Hey all,
I have a rooted Droid Maxx. When I press Power and Down Volumn I can get into the AP Fastboot Menu. When I choose any of the options Using Vol down to move me through the options including normal Powerup, Recovery, Factory, Barcode, BP Tools it will only do a normal boot. I'm using vol down to choose an option and Vol up to activate the option. I have been able to get into these various options before, but something has gone south on me....any ideas...and what other info do you need?
Also, on the fastboot screen it states:
Device is locked. Status code: 0
EDIT: Strangely enough, when I move to Barcodes and hit the up Vol button, I can get into barcodes...but on any other options, when I press Vol up, it just does a normal phone boot.
the phone has been acting a little twitchy lately...camera won't function and keeps telling me to restart, now e-mail is starting to do funny stuff....Not happy. One of the posts that I read on trying to get the camera working correctly stated that wiping the Dalvic cache might help and I think I need to get into recovery tools to do that.
Thx
Any help anyone? I need to get into the tools to wipe the phone....
Thx

It's not just you apparently. I just tried mine to try to use as a home security camera (after loaning it to a friend to use as a temp phone) and it's doing the same thing yours is, can't factory rest and start over so I guess now I'll have to try to unroot and/or reflash bootloader and get it back to "stock" and try formatting after that.
