[Q] need help with UnBrickableResurrectorR40

I need some help. I will set up the scenario first. My Cap has had the unbrickmod performed on it about 8 months ago. I had the battery fall out ib the middle of a flash. I was getting the phone /computer "you screwed up a firmware install" animation. I tried to get it cleared up with Odin and now it is black screen no matter what I try. Can't get download, or recovery, and the usb jig won't even get it into download. I am completely unschooled and self taught with pc and phones and I think I have done pretty well. Now, I have taken another big step and after reading up on what to do next, I installed successfully, Ubuntu in my laptop (xp pro)and I can dual o.s. or boot either o.s. individually and everything seems to work fine. I downloaded UnBrickResrectR40, HIBL.zip, and java jre7.0.5. Ihave no clue about Linux or command lines,but after reading a million different claims on how to install these files i was finally able to get the java installed. But, I can't get the unbrickres file to install. I always get an error saying file not found by regex. Now I have copies in downloads,desktop, home, files, and have changed permissions and types(jar,javaw.exe,zip.gz) and still nothing. No forums or help pages help. They all give directions as if you know what you are doing already. They must figure if you got this far you are a tech or a dev, not a noob electrician who can't even type. I need some seriously slow,detailed,step by step,hand holding through this one, if someone has the patience. Back to the phone. The only thing that shows any life in the phone at all is when it is plugged into my laptop. It doesn't show up anywhere but under device manager. It shows under "universal serial bus devices" as, SEC S5PC 110 Test B/D , location 0,device is working properly,driver provider-libusb.org, driver date-7-13-2009,driver version-6.7.7600.16385, not digitally signed. That is it. I need some direction. What do I do now? Hopefully someone feels adventurous.Thanks

Have you tried the Windows tool Windows32DriversAndCommandLineApp.zip ?

Thanks for the advice
Thanks Silvertag, I appreciate the fact that you even read my post. I was running late for work, but wanted to get something on the boards.
I will check out the link you suggested. Much appreciated.

Android 4.1.1 Jellybean on the Nextbook Premium 8se

ATTENTION / WARNING / ACHTUNG!!!!!!!
Efun (distributor of what we know as the "Nextbook Premium 8SE") in fact sells two different tablets marketed under the same name. This rooting method will ONLY work with a Nextbook Premium 8SE running a Rockchip processor.
**Am very sorry if this has already been posted, searched and did not find anything.**
Soon after purchasing my Nextbook Premium 8 se I learned that many Roms, apks, etc. that I couldn't find via Google (in English, anyhow) are easily found in Italian.
Which brings me to what I found today
androidworldDOTit/forum/mediacom-smartpad-810c-381/%5Brom%5D%5Bics-4-1-1%5D%5Bxteam-4-0-jellybean%5D%5Bmediacom-810c%5D-67171/
Run that through Google Translate if like me you don't speak a word of Italian.
All right, time to sit down and write a guide to doing this. First things first: I didn't do any of this work! People like Devmonkey, Sunnyboy167, deeno33, and FinlessBob, (over at Freaktab) and Xteam at Android World Italy are the ones who've put in the legwork and hours to make this stuff possible. I'm just gathering their work in to one place.
Before you begin: Back up all your things if you want to keep them!
Also, remove your micro sd card from the Nextbook. I darn near fried mine because I didn't.
Next: You know the drill. You're a big boy, (or girl, or whatever. I'm not here to judge) I, nor anyone else is responsible if anything bad happens to your device, to you, your happiness, or your hard earned money or your time. YOU are choosing to root your device and install Jellybean on to it and YOU assume all responsibility. Cool? Also, this will probably void your warranty. But let's face it, if you're here, you probably don't care too much about your warranty anyway. Let's get rocking.
STEP 1: Make sure you have the device drivers installed for your Nextbook on your computer. I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit desktop. I imagine that other Windows desktops pre Win 8 will be similar. If you're using Linux, I believe that drivers aren't necessary. But hey, if you've installed Ubuntu, Arch Bang, Puppy, etc, you've probably got this figured out anyway.
Turn off your Nextbook Tablet Connect the micro usb cord to it, then hold in the volume up and down keys while plugging it in to your computer.
"NOTE: On your screen you should see a bubble pop up in the lower-right corner saying "Installing drivers". Most likely it will say it can't find the drivers. This is normal. Continue following the steps to install the missing drivers.
Step 2: Open the Device manager by typing mmc devmgmt.msc into your "Run" box on XP or search box in start menu on Windows 7 and hitting enter (you can also find Device Manager in your Control Panel options in Windows 7).
Step 3: With your N8 still in an off state and plugged in via USB you should see a yellow exclamation symbol somewhere next to "Unknown Device" in the list of devices in the Device Manager. Right click on it and select "Update driver software".
Step 4: Now it will prompt you to choose how you want to search for it. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and it will bring up a window for you to navigate manually to the driver location which is in the "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder. Select which ever system you have (32bit or 64bit) and then hit "OK". You might go thru one or two prompts before it actually installs. Just "OK" everything and you should be fine." ~Sunnyboy167
Ok, now that the device drivers are installed you'll want to download the file linked from here: zippyshareDOTcom/v/60864398/fileDOThtml
Sorry, I have less than 10 posts, so you'll need to convert the dots to, you know, dots. I get why the site does that.
Scan that thing for any nasties, and then unzip it wherever you'd like. (I used my desktop) Open it and click on the folder "Mediacom 810c" Inside you'll find a file named "Rk29update.exe." Open it. You'll see a box like this:
See attached picture
That is what it will look like if your tablet is not hooked up to your computer. So if it isn't (which it should be, since I never told you to disconnect it) reconnect it now.
Click the box that says "loader," then click "Formatta!!" Which, as you might have guessed is Italian for "Format." No going back now, kid.
Let the thing run its course, it'll take a couple of minutes. Once it's done, click the box that says "Aggiorna!!" This will install Jellybean on to your Nextbook. Be patient, as this will take a few minutes. You'll hear your computer make the "device disconnected" sound, and you'll be all set. You can unplug your Nextbook from your computer now.
First boot up of the device on Jellybean was a touch slow for me, but don't panic. Once you've gotten through set up the Rom runs incredibly smooth and fast. The first screen you'll see will be the welcome (benvenuto) screen. You can select English (or your preferred language) from the drop down menu. From this point on it should be smooth sailing. Google Now works like a charm, Project Butter seems to really make a difference on this tablet, camera works, notifications work, everything seems good. There are minor bugs here and there, but nothing Earth shattering.
One last thing: for a $99 budget "craplet" from Big Lots, you could do a lot worse than this tablet. I've found it pretty sturdy, highly customizable, and generally responsive and fun to use. I also own a Nexus 7, and while this clearly can't touch it spec wise, it's definitely a fun second device to keep around.

ok, so far so good. The Rom is very responsive, Google Now is working well. Only thing to note, which I should have known: Take out your micro sd card first! I ended up corrupting mine when I flashed the Rom. (And guess where I had everything backed up too? = fail)
But again, other than that, this Rom is awesome

Request for Bug List
Thanks for posting about this Italian Rom for the Nextbook 8. I am thinking about installing it. Can you provide a list of bugs that you've noticed?
Thanks again!

of course!
As mentioned in the install guide, take out any MicroSD card, as you might damage it. That said, however, upon another reading of the original Italian install guide, apparently the "data system corrupted" bug that I took for being my MSD card being screwed up is in fact a known bug that is actually affecting internal memory, but only temporarily. The solution is to simply format it on device, and everything will work fine. The option to format is given as a push notification immediately upon getting through the sign in process, and nothing in actuality appears to be damaged, but until I did the format I could not access anything on my MSD card.
The big recurring one I've noticed may or may not be unique to this Rom, as my device had it before on a gingerbread Rom; namely, the battery charge level never seems to change. It always seems to be at 100% right up until it drops dead, no warning. Actually, that's not entirely accurate, because if it runs out, and I charge it and unplug while the charge shows a number less than 100% the battery icon will continue to show "charging" until 100% (even though unplugged) and then stay there.
When waking the tablet up it takes a couple of seconds to reconnect to wifi. Any notifications coming in will slow it down for up to a couple of minutes. I've noticed that if I try and use it during this time I occasionally "overload" the device, and end up with it rebooting. My best advice: wake it, give it a second to go from "no internet connection" to having found wifi, unlock the screen, and then wait about 1 minute before doing any heavy use until any notifications pop up; once you do that you're good to go.
If I think of or notice anything else hopefully I'll remember to edit this post.

After I leave it charging, it goes into the sleep of death I guess? I don't know if this is because I had some apps downloading in the background. Also, my auto rotate doesn't work. I don't know if there's a fix for it, but so far, I havent found any
but besides those 2 things, the rom works great!

I'm having a hell of a time getting drivers for Windows 7 installed. Can someone point me in the direction to the drivers and possibly driver install instructions? .
I have tried with and without USB debugging turned on. In device manager I see M3-chip with USB debugging on. The only thing I can figure is I have the wrong drivers.
I have a Nextbook Premium 8 SE.
TIA

need new drivers

Same thing happened to me, you'll just have to wait a day or two for the battery to completely die, then hold the power, and as soon as the screen comes on, plug it in, hope this helps! :good:

so far so good, g-sensor wouldnt work with both included kernels so i flashed the kernel from Finless Bob's ICS Rom for NEXT8P12 and it's working again except i cant use the OC settings that kernel from this ROM has.
Only issues:
Wifi is a bit inconsistent
Apps can't download to system memory, there has to be an sd card present
G-Sensor isnt working (have to use kernel from Finless Bob's Next8P12 ROM)
Nothing else yet
is there anyway i could use the g-sensor driver from the other kernel while still using the kernel from this rom, if that makes sense.
Thanx.

going great untill
cant find subfoldr NXTBOOK8ROOT in my computer aso the zippyshare file in the link doesnt work pleaase help

[Q] Tablet stuck in password screen + recovery mode doesn't work

Hello,
I'm sorry to bother you with an apparently repetitive thread, but I assure it is not.
I've been dealing with this problem for over a year now. Of course there were times that I simply gave up, but every now and then I searched all over the internet (seriously; very resilient, I am) and tried everything. Nothing seems to work.
The issue is: one day I was reading something on Google Reader and the tablet restarted. When it came back, it was in this password screen.
[AS A NEW USER I COULDN'T POST THE IMAGE - please see attachment ending in 41]
Detail: I had never, EVER set any kind of password. I don't do this with any of my devices unless I'm obliged to (as in Windows 8, this big piece of shiite).
So the thing is: I did not set a password, I did not choose to ask for a password in any situation and there isn't a single combination that I haven't tried. The thing doesn't even ask me to stop -- like 'hey, you've tried your 30k input, I think you should stop now'.
Now, for you not to start cursing me, I tried EVERYTHING that is basic and post-basic to fix it. I did wipe the data, I tried flashing another ROM, I did cold boot, factory reset, EasyFlashed, nvflashtf and whatnot. I swear to GoogleGods that I, as a non-expert-but-very-keen-on-technology, could.
Another thing that happens is when I try to enter the recovery mode, after using the nvflash, it doesn't work. The image that appears to me is this one:
[SAME THING -- attachment ending in 38]
Again: I'm not a complete noob. I know how to get into things; all I need is a simple guidance. I'm really sorry if this has been posted before and only I couldn't find it, but I won't be so if someone helps me to get it and solve my problem. I can't stand this anymore -- now it's just a matter of pride.
Thank you all.

This happened to me on my SL101 after I flashed a ROM of some sort. I used ADB commands to push the stock ROM back to it and to push another Recovery to it. Mine was in worse shape, Recovery loop, and then I finally got it to where yours currently is. My physical nor on screen keyboard would even work. Look up some ADB commands, perhaps you already know them, and attempt to either push the stock ROM or a new Recovery blob back to it.

Yeah, well, y'know, I'm not at this level yet, but I'll dig into ADB and stuff.
I tried to use this sometime in the past, but my computer was so bad back then that I had to give up to keep my sanity. Now I've got a fairly good one (very good, considering the few things I use it for), however much less time.
Tonight is the night, though. I'll study as much as I can and I'll fix this ****. Any tip you may remember now would be useful.
Thanks.

I'm struggling with something even before I start: there's no way I can get access to the system and turn the USB Debugging on.

I know I'm not getting much attention, but I won't give up. Please just do not accuse me of spamming; I'm just a desperate geek that has been kept away from his toy.
Alright, after the childish speech, here's the latest update: I cannot use de ADB thing because there's no way I can turn on the USB debugging mode.
Or is there? The latest news is that I can get access to some system files through the ASUS File Manager (turns out it still reads the MicroSD Card, even though I could not update the device this way). So, technicians, is there a way to hack into this beast? Fu ck, I don't even know how to call it anymore.
There isn't much I can do with this File Manager. Mostly visualize the folders and rename this and that (which is the only thing I reckon might be useful).
Jesus, I'm sleepy, I can't even write properly anymore. Please someone help me. It can't be that hard.

For some reason i thought you were on th sl101(slider) so i didnt comment. So heres the deal, any fix is going to be data destructive(nothing you can do at this point as even if you manage to pull data from the tablet, it will be encripted) You need Easyflasher(dev section) follow the instructios there (basically donwloading stock firmware from asus and by using nvflash in apx mode it will re-partition storage, and upload the stock firmware to the tf101)
If you hit any problems, post them here and ill help you further
Edit: just read you post more, if you tried easyflaher and it didnt work, please post the details of what you tried within easyflasher.
Its a strange issue, if it happend to me and id tried the things you already have, this is what id try:
-Flashing ubuntu from the dev section(i known very little about how nvflash works but it maybe only re-partitioning certain partitions, ubuntu i would imagine would require a full re-partitioning)
-alternativly (or on top of the previous idea) use one of the ubuntu installers(OLiFE on ubuntu worked the best for me, but franks tools/ newer software based on franks tools should work fine) and flash the Prime! rom on its own.
If these dont work, your last resort is asus - but thats a long shot lol

If you can't get into anything, but you can enter APX Mode, but NVFlash doesn't work, then I'm not sure anything will as NVFlash completey deletes and recreates all the partitions on the drive
So unless you have been unlucky and downloaded a bad version of an NVFlash ROM....
I know you say you have used NVFlash but I`ll stick this here anyway
The way I restore is:
Connect tablet to PC and make sure the tablet is turned off (Make sure it is the only USB device connected other than keyboard/mouse)
Hold Volume Up + Power for a few seconds until you hear the USB connect sound on the PC, release the buttons, you are in APX mode
Install APX drivers if you have not already
Now extract this
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/Asus/Asus%20Transformer%20(TF101)/STOCK%20ROMS/ICS%20.27/NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.27_WW_NOROOT.7z
And run "download.bat"
I think you should see some text appear on the tablet screen, and progress will be shown in the command prompt window on the PC
Wait for it to complete 100%
Its been a while so I can't remember if the tablet will reboot on its own or if you need to hold power for 30 seconds to get out of APX mode
Either way, make sure it is completely finished and reboot the tablet
Only thing I can remember going wrong with NVFlash was the first time I rebooted after a sucessful boot, it would hang on a black screen
Just hold power for 30 seconds and then power on normally, done, if it has worked you have your tablet back, if not, I think its a hardware issue > see asus

Im very keen to get this fixed/ find the issue as uptil now I thought the tf101 was virtually software invincible, you need to pay attention to what the nvflash process says, the one thing I can think of as to why nvflash didn't work is it can't write over encrypted partitions although that would make no sense why it wouldn't.

Just a suggestion... make sure you're not docked. Some people report issues when nvflashing while docked (I can't replicate those issues except with the Tubuntu tool).

Is there a solution?
I also have an error! see picture

Portable ADB ALL [ANDROID] devices

Have you ever needed to use ADB at a work PC or a location you could not "install" applications?
Unzip the attached file and click the RunMe.bat
I have tested this pulling logs, pushing/pulling files, flashing recovery, roms, and anything else I could think of.
I tested it on the M8 stock rom 5.0.2 but this is a generic file so it should be fine on most if not all android devices.
The idea came when I was at work and looking for a solution for a problem I had. I could not install anything on my work PC, so this came in handy, the only problem is that it was outdated, or seemed outdated for my needs.
find the zip file here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347791558
This topic has been covered but is very outdated. I only found information from 2011 and 2013. The included information has since been updated by Google. I found it and included it, re-zipped it and now it is here for you to enjoy.
Thanks
to @Kickface, (where I first found this solution) wherever you went and any others who have created a truly portable (not minimal) solution to using ADB without installing anything.

I know this is totally off topic, I'll report myself for it later....
So, I installed the zip file onto my work PC, a DELL Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 professional (I really cannot get too much more info about it now) sorry. My nooby butt just went and downloaded the file not checking the MD5 :crying: Totally a dumb thing a NOOBY would do. It started to get late & I had to get ready to go to work. I know I had the command prompt screen (Black box) running and I then left the computer. 8 hr's later I come home from work and the computer is locked as normal, I to proceed entering Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination as usual & NOTHING (panic setting in)!! I was concerned since it was frozen from something I done, also I didn't want to loose all the work I gathered that night prior (is the very least of my worries now)... I took out the battery to reset the computer, again like a dummy, I started Windows normally ignoring the other "safe mode, etc" options. I click on windows Chrome, NOTHING! Not even an option to open the program/app. Okay, I'm really panicking now WTH did I do??? I knew I did something wrong, so I reset the computer by battery again, put it in "Safe Mode" which did absolutely nothing as I couldn't "open desktop gadgets in safe mode". Now, I restarted the computer from the start menu... Started up completely fine, I have access to everything EXCEPT Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. anything that is browser related has the administrator shield on the icon. However, I still cannot even click on the icon to run as an administrator even if I had the password!?!?
Is there any possible hope to uninstall that file and just maybe it'll go back to normal??? I cannot re-install Chrome or Internet Explorer due to the darn administrator rights!!!
I've searched to the ends of the earth since last night trying to find a solution, this is my last ditch effort resort for any possible suggestions to point me in the right direction. Luckily my friend was kind enough to lend me his laptop and my phone is in proper working order:angel: If I tell my IT guy what happened, I'll be in huge trouble, going on the 2nd laptop destroyed, 1st time really wasn't my fault, just saying so u don't think I'm continuously reckless.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated! Hoping someone has had this happen maybe:fingers-crossed: and just a slight point in the right direction (link, website, specific thread on forum) would b awesome?? Again, apologies on the "off-topic" content, I don't know what else to do & I feel as though XDA is THE ABSOLUTE BEST forum site for any Android help, apps, devs research, roms, etc. Thx in Advance!!

I can tell you that it's not related to the files because I use them on my work PC all the time. I am working 10 hours days, 6 days a week. So the only time I can do anything out of the ordinary on my phone, it has to be at work.
That being said, have you tried system restore? I'm not sure if that requires admin rights, it might. On another note, tell the IT guy your internet explorer just stopped working, they love that. Because seriously, it's unrelated. The most he will do is uninstall and reinstall IE/Chrome. If that doesn't fix it, a system restore should. If that still does not, there is something off with the settings for internet access (I've seen that before). But if you are saying there is a shield/lock over an icon, that's new to me.
Also, I can install chrome at my work. It usually does not require admin rights, that and Firefox. There are also many portable browsers you can download from another PC and copy the zip file to the laptop, and run the app. Just search portable browser. At least this will help determine if the browsers installed got locked or if there is a network setting being blocked.
Let me know how it goes. This IS a bit off topic, but let's figure out what's wrong publicly so the mods can see there is nothing wrong with the zip I posted and then we can have our posts removed.

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
I'm glad to hear that it's not the file bc I cannot uninstall that regardless. We do have crazy blocks on all the computers at my work. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the sensitive information we have (a drug tx center so everyone's personal info is in our database). We can't even update the time on our computers, I have no clue why. I asked him once, he said something about giving that permission would open up another way to bypass security (I can't remember exactly).
This is my laptop, I never even bother bringing into work because I work so much from home. For example my login at the office has updated twice when at home it's still my old login password. The computer is physically in bad shape (it's been used & abused for sure) I'd prefer not to the bring it in for him to see so I plan on waiting to Friday night (IF ALL ELSE FAILS) and txtg him saying I absolutely need to work & see if he will do troubleshoot remote access! I hope that doesn't sound too horrible :-/
As I was typing this I just received an email to restart all workstations due to updates/ changes to the server done this weekend... Hmmmm it could totally be bc of this!!!!! Fingers crossed. I may just have to bring it in let it connect to the local server reset it, and bam good to go If not due to this I can almost guarantee it's the internet settings that I don't have access to!! But the portable browser should work...
I will still try all of your suggestions once I get home this afternoon and report back to you ASAP!!
Luckily I have my friends laptop to borrow & Dell had some good deals on laptops last night so I ordered a really nice one since I really need a personal computer again. Which I will also get an expense check for (bonus)!! But, won't arrive until 3/16. Until then I do have access to extra pc's here I could always swap it out, but I don't want to be scrutinized or punished for being sneaky, it's really not my character...
Again, I appreciate your input. Also, totally agreed on the "off-topic resolution" first and then delete our posts...
Thanks Again!

Yeah, I cannot get through the security on it.
When I look at the properties or try to repair Chrome or IE, it has an incorrect path, totally crazy looking.
\\localhost\C$\os(c\Users\mludford.....
I'm currently downloading a zip for a standalone browser. Hopefully that'll work...
This thread in general is totally crazy too, it looks like I replied like 3 or 4 times, I DID NOT :/ I tried twice & it told me that I didn't have access to the post, with a grey button over my original post you replied to, saying "Spoiler"!?! Very strange....

[HELP] Cannot factory reset a Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) on Metro PCS

Greetings to all the developers and registered users on this site... Yes, this is my first post, but I read here pretty often and I used the search function, trust me! Seriously, I've tried all I could and I am at my wits end, but this is technology, we can't let it own us, we gotta continue owning it and that's what online communities like xda help us do, so thanks for all your past, present, and future contributions here. So I got this Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) that I can't factory reset for a number of reasons, but mainly because I believe that there is either no boot-loader or no recovery partition as a result of Metro PCS flashing the ROM...
Anyway, lets get to the juice:
- Device powers on/off, but no combo of Vol -/+ and Power buttons bring up a recovery menu or anything (holding any combo down just boot-loops)
- Device has no SIM and no micro SD card, and the battery is not removable
- Device is locked... Like, pattern-locked/google account info/too many attempts/yada yada yada
- Device has no data and no WiFi connection active, so I could not use the google account to get past the lockscreen
- Device does not have USB debugging enabled/Google drivers for ADB do not work (Windows 7 auto-detects when I plug in the phone and installs a generic Microsoft driver which cannot be removed even after uninstalling the device, and also I pointed the Device Manager to the correct Google drivers I installed with the Android SDK Tools, as well as the Samsung Naked Universal Drivers I found on this forum, and Kyocera ADB drivers I found through Google which all failed, Windows returned a message stating that the most up-to-date or best driver for this device is already installed)
What I've tried (everything possible really):
- Hard reset/Recovery from phone: FAILED
- Connect to Linux and install ADB, then tried running the adb shell, adb devices, fastboot devices, etc but phone not detected: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and install ADB (Android SDK Tools), I literally checked every single box and installed Platform-tools, google drivers, everything, got to the command prompt as admin, cd to the ADB directory, ran same commands as in linux, also tried commands on several forums and posts like adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key to remove the lock but everything: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt to install proper drivers using RootGenius, MoboRobo, PDAnet, and several other suggestions which all were oblivious/unable to detect the device despite Windows recognizing it, so they all: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt running ADB through a Cygwin terminal, but the command "sudo" was not recognized/not valid, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and use XRYViewer to extract data from the phone, possibly to see the system files and get an actual understanding of what everybody is saying you need to mount from the recovery partition, but no clue how to use this, since I can't find an XRY file in the internal storage, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and access data/recover data from device using "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android" and "iLike Android Data Recovery Pro" but both programs instructed me to enable USB Debugging, which is not possible, so the both also: FAILED
Despite this being my first post, I have scoured the forums here in addition to every other forum and webpage regarding this issue as well... There just isn't much about this phone except negative reviews, and I have come to the conclusion that on this particular model phone, I am out of options... I have a paperweight... I'm not very familiar with Android... So please correct me if I'm wrong...

Any input?
I'm curious if there are any options at this point, I have been trying to get through to this phone on several computers for the past couple days and it is frustrating me... Any input from the community would be much appreciated...

Mojo2XL, I guess you did not find an answer?

may be this:
*2767*3855# - Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
I found code in internet, but may be it works? can't check, my "wave" comes to me from USA by post for a few weeks..

Did you happen to get the files the other member posted that was only available for eight days?

Mojo2XL - Sort of.
I saw a youtub video (sorry no link) that says there was a OTA update that changed the phone's firmware that solved all the problems mentioned here. Thing is I have no carrier and cannot find this new firmware, but, I am still hunting....

I'm having the same problem, I have been trying to get this thing to hard reset for a week now. There has to be a way to reset this Hydro Wave.. Has anyone dealt with this thing?

Hey hold the buttons as follows volume- & power at the exact same time while your phone is off be warned if you phone was preowned you need the goole account originally activeated with that phone if you do not have that then your in the same vote as me i cant remember any of my gmail account info to my wave from when i had it active I have litterally tried every thing to recover the info and i still can't recover it

let me work on this, been trying to master as many FRP bypasses as i can. I don't have the device but a client is in the same boat

I accidentally stumbled upon a something weird. I've managed to make the camera crash to the home screen somehow. I believe this was a result of holding both volume buttons and opening numerous menus while using the camera. My guess is that it overloads it after a certain amount of times and causes it to crash. I've gotten the android UI to crash like this before. I will try to recreate the scenario and update you guys on this. it's on a Kyocera Hydro Wave. Running android 5.0 I believe. Try going wild until the phone starts to lag. eventually stuff will crash and the lock screen may go with it. use this to your advantage and enable USB debugging as quickly as possible because it will reset itself after about 30 seconds. Someone else on YouTube has recently told me that it worked for them. I would look into doing that.

Is there anything a little more realistic possible? Lol, I can see an update available, can't connect to WiFi to update haha. The stuff they lock these phones with anymore i swear

I'm new to this forum, but NOT new to this site . I have visited here on numerous occasions seeking the help that needed . With that being said, I would like to offer a Bonafide, Tried and True way to factory reset the Kyocera Hydrowave . I KNOW that this work's for I have done in on numerous occasions for a friend of mine that works for Metro PCS ....
Step One: Completely power off the phone .
Step Two: Hold the Power AND Volume DOWN Buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY .
Step Three: DO NOT release any buttons, even when you get to the Boot Menu . (Very Important, If you don't do it right, you have to start all over lol ) .
Step Four: Once inside the Boot Menu, ONLY release the Power Button; or the Boot Menu will close and you have to start all over again .
Step Five: Use the Volume Down Button to Highlight the Wipe/Factory Reset Option .
Step Six: Use the Power Button to Select the option .
Step Seven: Watch the bottom of the screen for the progress, and then use the Volume Up Button to restart .
And there you have it . I hope that this helps out SOMEONE out there, because I feel good giving back for the help that I have received on here .
PS.( If you would like for me to post a Video Tutorial on this, can someone please tell me how to post the Video; I guess by me being a Newbie on here, I'm not allowed to do as of yet ) . If Anyone needs to contact me, as I'm not on here very often, my email is [email protected] .

Just give it a go. it already worked for one dude on youtube. it takes a while but it honestly works. If you can get it, update the phone as soon as possible turn the screen timeout off and let it update. when the phone resets the update will install and you will be able to factory reset.
I mean it couldn't hurt. if you're locked out with no factory reset and ADB tools won't work what else can you do?
