I just bought an LG V905 tablet used but there is a password on it.
I can't get it to do a factory reset.
I tried holding the volume button ( both up and down ) with the reset button.
when i use the up volume button i get a screen that says "entering lg mdp mode"
and "DO NOT POWER DOWN" downloading now..."
i left it over night like that and it still was at the same screen in the morning.
when i try it with the down volumne it get
"Starting fastboot usb download protocol" anf the LG logo and it sits there.
can anybody tell me how to reset this tablet ?
Thanks In Advance

I'm in the same boat.
I had a force close happen while installing a 3d wallpaper apk that rendered my touch screen insensitive to touch. This virtually bricks my device as I cannot unlock the screen during start up. Everything else works as I can hear notifications and watch it connect to my wifi network.
I've tried flashing stock images for the lg-909 (system.img, bootloader.bin, flashboot.img) and this did not work on my LG-905. It would get stuck in a continuous boot loop in the t-mobile animations.
My LG-905 is a Rogers device so the stock images are now obviously different than the T-Mobile's.
I need fresh images for the LG-905. If anyone has rooted their device using the instructions for the LG-909 they will have one of these back-up images available. I would ask someone help me out by making this available to me. Mine has been corrupted and is unusable.
Other than this, perhaps someone can help me restore my screen sensitivity by some other means as I have access to the file system using ADB, APX and sometimes fastboot (when it works).
I have a Motorola Atrix that is locked and I am not sure were to begin looking for a solution.
it is stuck on the screen that says "Starting RSD Protocol Support"
I have revoved the battery countless times trying every way to start the phone into any mode where i can do something.
I have tried holding the power button while pressing the up volume, the same thing with down volume and nothing works. I have looked into several methods to root this or get into it somehow but everything I have checked into requires you to put the phone into usb debugging mode. and that is not possible.
does anybody have any ideas ?
Thanks
What did you do before it got stuck on the RSD screen? You should not use RSD for anything other than pudding (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261). Do not casually flash sbf files. Stick to full ROMs.
If you can't enter fastboot mode or recovery then you might have a hard brick?
Hi, the person who had the phone explained what she did and I thing it is hard bricked, she messed something up trying to setup a motoblur acount and decided to just do a factory reset, but she looked online and read that to reset the phone she needed to reboot using the power / volume up buttons, she did that and ended up at this screen and because she did not know to put the phone into usb debugging mode she now has an expensive little paper weight.
thanks for your reply

Hello to everyone. I beg your help, please. I bought this amazing second hand tablet last friday. At the first attemp, and because I didn't want to read all the threads, I bricked the tablet. Yes, stupid thought, I know.
Because I wasn't happy with the result, I wiped all and delete bootloader, system, data... Everything. I know something with Microsoft issues and brave me (and silly) I thought It was similar, that I could start from outside of the tablet even if it was blank.
Anyway, the facts are:
The tablet is allways on, in APX mode. When I press down the power boton, it reboot. I know because when it's conected to my laptop, I can see the USB interface conected and the APX mode on it.
The screen is allways in black. ALLWAYS. No matter if I try to start in recovery in bootloader or any other way to start the system. Black, nice black.
Of course, no result in Power + Vol up, Power + Vol -, pressing power during 3 hours and 23 minutes... (I'm joking), but for long.
The only signal by which I know that it's not dead at all its when I conect the charger. I can see the small orange light in the power buton saying: "I'm alive"
Ok, I don't know what to do. I've read during the weekend as much as I could, tried evrything and nothing fixed. If it helps, before playing to be God, I had Android 4.0.1, I unlocked the bootloader with the apk, I installed the TWRP recovery and everything were right until I wanted to update the rom. Some mystakes that I don't remember and this is what I can tell you. Any holy soul which can help me, please? If not, can anyone help me? Thank you and I'll be looking forward your help.

Are you able to access fastboot? If so, flash the STOCK ASUS 4.0.1 Rom again. The mistake I think you made was flashing a ROM not compatible with the bootloader you have. You first have to update the bootloader to 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 to flash any of the current ROMS.
No fastboot, no bootloader update.

Thanks for the reply:
I can't access fastboot. The tablet does nothing, just allways on in APX, so I can't update the bootloader. Neither I can't switch it off. I've read smething about run out the battery and start a process with ODIN?
I haven't tried it before, but maybe there's a way to create a bootable SD that will automatically install one of the stock ROMs so you can start over again?
If you can't get to the bootloader/fastboot/recovery and only have APX and no back upped NVFlash files then I think you are bricked unfortunately
hi is there any solution to solve this problem, or tablet dead
I'm in the same situation! :crying:
no solution???
Same story
Same here -- black screen, PC recognizes it as an APX device, but neither fastboot nor adb seem to work.
I didn't even try to mod mine. I was just using it normally, and it crashed, and now all it does is give me a black screen. When I poke the reset button, my PC notices the device disconnection and then a minute later it re-connects, but still nothing.
Holding down volume up/down during reset does nothing. Holding down power, with or without volume buttons, for an extended period does nothing.
This looks to be like an epidemic problem for these devices. Has nobody gotten a handle on it yet?
pty
I am also in your situation.
I have a tablet with Tegra xperia 3, black screen! APX mode only!
Does not read any adb and fastboot driver!!
There are new?
Hi everyone,
for me now the same situation. Only APX aviable. no fastboot ect...
pls help me solve this issue.
Thanks a lot.
Turn on in APX-Mode. You won't see anything on the screen, the display does not turn on.
If you connect the USB cable to a Windows PC, Windows will recognize it as an APX device.
On this mode you may use nvflash tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969797.
If nothing works, you should exchange the Mainboard!
Yesterday morning I met with the unfortunate tragedy that was my tablet becoming a brick. I was trying to explore flashing and installing Kit Kat on it as it seemed a good idea to bring new life into the machine. The problem started with the recovery mode for flashing a rom on the tablet always froze. Whether I was in the menu with RCK or doing it within an app, I could not start any recovery menu. Eventually, I after getting a little frusterated with the problems, I accidently clicked wipe on the power hold volume - menu. Now my tablet will not turn off and sits at the ASUS/NVidia logo screen and has "The Device is Unlocked" on the top right. I unlocked and rooted it months ago.
I cannot get into the recovery or get fastboot to recognize the device at all. Pressing power/volume down does nothing anymore. I did try pressing the tiny hole for the reset button plus the volume + and the USB reacted on my Win 7 PC and I installed ADB drivers for it, but I can't do anything with it and my tablet is a blank screen when it happens. I suppose because it is wiped there is no OS on the system? I simply refuse to believe it is beyond repairing due to these factors.
I am very desperate for help and I have been scouring the internet for an entire day to no avail. I have even seen a few people with the same situation on this board, but the question was never successfully answered each time. Lets try working together to create the definitive answer thread! Forgive me if I am not stating the terminology correctly as I am new to this. Thanks in advance everyone.

I am in exactly the same situation. No fastboot, volume up with reset gets me to a blank screen state which windows recognizes as an unknown device. I downloaded the Asus drivers but it's still not recognized. I may need to go back through the forums to find a way to push a working Recovery of TWRP. Currently I am out of ideas.

So far the only known recovery to that situation is using Nvflash and APX mode. However, you must have already made Nvflash Backups before pressing the wipe data. If you did, there is a link in my signature to restore you tablet.

Ok so volume down + home button is download mode to flash things via Odin.
Volume Up + home button will bring you to Recovery.
Download your stock firmware from here or here
And flash it with Odin in download mode to unbrick your device.
