Hard Reset
A hard reset (also known as a factory reset) will clear all data and settings from the memory of the device and set it back to factory default settings. You can perform hard reset on the Asus Eee Pad using the Android OS menus or the hardware buttons.
Method 1
1. Power the Eee Pad off.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button on the left side of the device, then press and hold the Power button.
3. Continue to hold both buttons until a bootloader screen appears.
4. Wait for the prompt that says to “Press <VOL_UP>” then press the Volume Up button to start the process.
The Asus Eee Pad will complete the hard reset process and reboot into a factory default state.

I think I might have one at home. Will that connect the internet automatically?
If the adapter has the right chipset and stuff, yes. If you know anybody with an Apple USB-to-ethernet adapter, that one should work too.
Does the reset hole work? I think there is a small hole by the micro HDMI port that you can put a pin or paperclip into and reset. I don't have my pad with me at work, but I feel like I remember using this once for a similar reason.

A possible solution?
Can't you just unlock it from ADB? Since its not letting you input the password anymore, then I don't know if this will work.
But here's the command to try to unlock it anyway.
If its a pattern, then try this "rm /data/system/gesture.key"
If its a password or pin, try this "rm /data/system/password.key"
Don't forget to ask for SU permissions first.

I did the Hard-SPL and followed the instructions to a T. The phone rebooted after the hards-spl and everything worked fine. I installed BlackBerry Connect to my device and it rebooted. Now it just sits at the windows mobile screen and won't proceed any farther. Anybody have an idea why? Or what I can do to get it working again? I did the HardSPL using windows XP and not vista.
When I enter the bootload this is what I get.
KAIS*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Serial
Please help.
Anybody have any ideas?
Go to the wiki and look up how to flash from a microSD card, then flash a clean copy of whatever rom you had put on there so you can get a fresh start. Unless something is physically broken with the phone, that will save it. Saved me plenty of times.
Just had to do a hard reset. Fixed the problem. Loaded new HTC ROM everything is up and running.
How did you do the hard reset? I can't even get it to work. (hold right & left soft keys and press/release reset until some screen I never get)

all 3 actions must be at the same time and hold for 5 secs. if you get the short vibrate, just keep trying over and over. it wont hurt anything. at least it never did to mine.
Yep, you cannot install the BB connect software to the SD card & then reset. Your device will be looking for the BB connect software before the device SD card has booted & come online.
HOWEVER,
with SK Tools you can go into the startup folder & reorder the start up files. If you move BB Connect down to the end of the start up sequence it might work. Well, it did for me. Ylu have to go in after installing though, & before the reset & change the start up sequence down so that it's the last item to auto start.
You will have this type of problem with any program you install to the SD card where the program has a higher priority auto start because as I said before, you have an item trying to boot before it's operating files are available. Therefore, you stop the whole boot sequence because it can't move on to the next start up item without finding the start item it's looking for.
AS for the Hard reset. I find the easiest way to do this is:
1. Soft Reset.
2. while the device is soft resetting depress both soft keys.
3. When you get to the first boot screen depress the soft reset key & hold while simultaneously holding the soft keys.
4. follow the instructions on the screen, i.e. push send (green phone button) to restore, etc...
Works every time for me.

This is not random!
When I press:
RightSoft + LeftSoft it always works.
LeftSoft + RightSoft it never works.
Sequence is important. Not sure if it is left or right first though.
If other can confirm, could someone put it in the wiki, please. I've pulled a lot of hair over this topic.

that is to enter BootLoader NOT to start a Hard reset. when holding the power AND the camera button then resetting using the stlyus you should see the tri-color screen listing your SPL, Kaiser model, and one more thing i forget right now
EDIT - Make sure you are not pressing the ok button while going into BootLoader as the way the buttons are laied out its easy to press the ok by mistake.

I need the same advice
See enclosed page from Incite manual.
Lg incite hard reset
To perform a hard reset
• A Hard Reset should only be performed after all other trouble shooting options have been exhausted.
After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings - the way it was when you first
purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you
customized on your device will be lost.
1. Power the device ON
2. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Clear Storage.
3. Enter 1234 for the password twice.
4. Press Enter.
5. Select what to reset.
You have to enter your password and confirm again for hard reset. However when you forget your
password, the only way to hard reset the device is via the hard key sequence.
1. Power the device OFF.
2. Press and hold the following hard keys in sequence.
left side - down rocker button - right side camera button - front right phone button
Keep pressing keys until your LCD screen turns on.
Align screen will appear if you success hard key reset.
1. Remove & replace the battery 1st
2. Hold down at the same time:
Volume Down + Camera + Power until the Windows Mobile screen appears.
DONE

Another solution
If you followed the steps above and the phone is still not hard resetting, you can try to enter Emergency Download mode and update the ROM. My phone would not hard reset and just kept getting stuck at the AT&T logo screen. I downloaded the V10X ROM update from the LG website and followed the instructions contained in the update. After the update, the phone works perfectly.

and until green right goes off. (while WM green screen on)
The process works without flaw unless you are not properly holding the buttons or for the right amount of time. I have posted the directions in a tutorial and you are welcome to take a look, try it and I am sure if you follow it, it will work for you.

hello, I have an ASUS TF101. It has been locked after many fails of pattern login by my nephew. And it asks to use google account to unlock it. However, WIFI on it is turned off, hence it can not connect to the internet. I tried to do a hard reset to recover to factory settings. but failed all the time. After pressing VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons, it goes as normal boot. anyone can give suggestions? thank you in advance!
Got a tablet from rentacenter a few months back and i only need it for school (monday) and im just getting around to turning it on only to realize there's a passcode!
Of course I tried to wipe everything off by doing a factory restore but that's not working. I tried power + volume down, power + volume up, with and without the keyboard attatchment. all of those combinations lead to either the screen turning off or just the tablet powering on in safe mode. any tips?

I tried to use Action Launcer on my One Vision, it started doing EXACTLY that (restart after unlock).
The only way I could solve it was entering in recovery and wiping it clean. Here's how to do it:
1. Turn it off (hold Power Button for a few seconds)
2. Hold Power Button + Volume Down for some seconds
3. When you enter fastboot mode (with the android robot on screen), release the buttons
4. Use Volume Down to choose Recovery Mode and press Power Button to enter it
5. It will show the Android Robot with "No Command" on screen, when you get on this screen, hold the Power Button and press Volume Up then release the buttons, you will get into Recovery Mode screen
6. At Recovery Mode, choose Wipe data/Factory Reset and confirm when asked.
This worked on mine.
(link to procedure: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/motorola/motorola-one-vision/recovery-mode/)
It will wipe your phone clean. If after that it don't work right, you better get your phone to warranty.
Same thing happened to me after changing default USB behaviour in developer settings.
Once I set it to file transfer, my phone rebooted as soon as I put the USB cable in.
It went to a bootloop a couple of times before it booted up to lock screen, but it rebooted again once I entered my lock pattern.
Only way to solve it was to factory reset
Moto is aware of the problem and working on it afaik.
Hopefully it will be fixed with the next update.

I was wrong... It tried with other launchers, same problema. I've read that some phones with problem in the fingerprint sensor have this behaivor. As soon as you add fingerprint as the unlock option, It may reboot randomly or when you try to unlock.
I've wiped It again and confirmed this behavior on mine. I'm going after warranty on monday.

I've made new tests on my Motorola One Vision... That's the problem. As soon as you set the default USB mode to file transfer, my phone starts to reboot even without plugging in the USB cable...
I've wiped it clean, started with the bare minimum, just logged on Google Play Store. I activated the default USB mode to "File Transfer" on the Dev Options.... With no lock option, it works OK. As soon as you set ANY locking method (pin, pattern, fingerprint) it reboots when you try to unlock the phone...
Seems like the only way to solve it is to keep the default USB mode unchaged.

You disabled only fingerprint? Are you using any other unlock method, or just swipe? Mine got into bootloop even if I add a pattern.
when device restart swipe down status bar press setings then unlock and remove fingerprint
After you have changed the default USB mode to "transfer" on the Developer Options, you cant do that. If you have any sort of lock in place that's different from "swipe to unlock", your phone will reboot on any try to unlock it, even if you try to get to settings (it will ask to unlock, then when you try, it reboots).
If you get into the "bootloop", the only way to get out of it is to enter recovery and wipe the phone. The only way to avoid the bootloop is to a) don't change default USB mode to "transfer" on Developer Option or b) only have "swipe to unlock" as the lock option.
If you set a) and anything different then b), you get stuck in bootloop.
I was sad because I'd need to make a hard reset on my phone after this bootloop but then I tried to start it connected in my PC through USB and then BAM it worked out, boots without restarting, it worked out for me, it should for yours too!
Just wanted to confirm, for all those falling foul of this little bug, that Riverm4n's previous advice does indeed work. And saves the heartache of a full system reset..
Just wanted to clarify the guidance a little..
So with the phone on, and on the lockscreen, plug into your PC.
Let Windows do it's driver install thing of it's the first time it's been plugged in..
Then type in your unlock code on the phone..
Potentially could still go into the reboot again, just leave it plugged into your PC and the next time the phone comes on typing your unlock code in should see it unlock without rebooting!!
Don't forget to disable the developer settings or change the usb thing back!!!

Yeah the problem is because is enable fingerprint and default USB configuration was changed.
Just like to thank OP for this - just received a new Vision - & while setting up I had enabled Developer mode mainly due to problem with PC not seeing phone & 1 tip I read was for 'USB Debugging' to be switched on
- while in that menu I decided to force USB file transfer over 'cos of the annoyance having to select it each time I plugged phone in to transfer some pics/doc etc over
Next time I picked up phone it was in boot-loop & I thought it was broken ... PANIC STATIONS !!!!
Factory reset fixed it
- & since being new phone I didn't lose too much of the stuff I had been reinstalling/replacing (which were mainly apps to replace missing 'functions' I had on old phone such as a 'repeat notification/flash camera LED' if unread)
Did lose some game progress on a couple of games I have/had, which is annoying (wish we had a APK Data backup that didn't need root & which isn't Helium since that seems pretty unstable for me atm but then again it's not been updated for a while) but I think I can live with that
Once again thanks
Well, happened to me. I certainly wanted to avoid factory reset. It's a known bug being reviewed by Motorola/Lenovo. Happens when you change the USB connection default action in developer mode and you have any sort of screen lock.
Here is what I did to avoid factory reset, I had fingerprint lock with code.
1. After boot you get to screen lock. I you try to unlock with the code it reboots.
2. In that code enter screen, use a finger not enrolled. You'll see a message that fingerprint was not recognized.
3. Enter now your code and the device won't reset this time.
4. Go to developer options and rollback the USB default action to "no data transfer".
or
1. Factory reset
or
1. Wait for a ROM update
or
1. Return the device to seller and get another one
Avoiding factory reset!
