Unfortunately this site only deals with HTC phones, not LG. So I doubt that you will get much help here, sorry.

dang. since it's an android phone i thought this place would be a good place for help. any suggestions on where i could get help?
i called lg and rogers and none of them were any help

I will get mine in a couple days (running HTC Dream right now).
I guess if your goal is to just reset the gmail account, you can do so by reseting the google apps setting.
Go to Menu|Settings|Applications|Manage applications
Look for “Google Apps“. Select it.
Press “clear data“
next time you launch the market or gmail, it will prompt for your gmail account again.

I wish I could do that, but the phone won’t even let me go to home screen. Once I turn on the phone it asks for the gmail to get past security. The only access I have on the phone is Emergency Dial

On the EVE to do a FACTORY RESET or DATA RESET
enter in 3845#*620# in the dialer to get in to LG’s hidden menu.

DO THE FOLLOWING TO RESET LG GW620 TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button, MENU button (the one on the keyboard), and CAMERA button for about 5-10 seconds, and a message will come up asking if you want to factory reset the phone.
Important : all data will be lost

GW620 Factory Reset
Hi, Just to let you all know that I been stuck with a home page that would not load properly but would not close either for the last 24 hours before finding this page! No calls, texts or anything!! I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms. LOL However as long as I got my phone on, & with a little manoeuvring, I managed to get all three of these buttons pressed together & my GW620 did indeed go to the Factory Reset message! Thank you Davy.d

Just to clarify it.. Phone should be ON when you use that key combination. Will work. Tested.

the combinations don't work...the only thing you can do is flashing another firmware it resets the phone

Can't reset G1 w/ Cyanogen

A few months ago a friend, who's very familiar with flashing G1's helped me flash mine to the Cyanogen 5.0.7.05 mod. After making a phone call today I now have no phone or data service. On top of that, when I go into the storage section there is no option to reset the phone. How do I reset the phone with this mod?

1) Turn the phone off.
2) Turn it on by holding Home + Power
3) You should get into a recovery console. Depends on which your friend decided to flash, but to wipe either scroll down to wipe or hit "ALT + W"
- It'll ask you to confirm by hitting the Home key.

Thanks I did that a few hours ago when my friend told me, but its not fully reseting the phone. After I come back to the screen for the initial login I still don't have phone/data signal, and the background pic I put up is still on there, so its not doing a full data erase. Pretty weird.

Try reflashing the ROM or upgrading to a newer one and then wiping.
Another thing you may want to try is completely clean off your SD card with the exception of the files you are going to flash. THEN try to flash/wipe.

[Q] Factory Wipe w/no screen

My screen will no longer turn on and I'm getting a replacement from amazon. However I have a lot of personal data on my unit. (saved passwords, pictures, and access to my home pc) Now like any sane person, I don't want that in the hands of people I don't know. My question is this, how can I do a factory reset / delete all user data with no screen or way to access the menus.
I do have the charging / usb cable, a max OSX Leopard, and a Windows Vista pc.
Thank you all in advance for the help.

ok, so I did another search or two just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I still can't find an answer to wipe all user data when I have no screen. The screen is totally unresponsive, no image displays no matter what I do. I can't go to users/settings/reset, I can't remove during boot loader as there is no way for me to know what is going on.
Think of it like this, If you turn your computer on but leave the monitor cable removed from your video card. Can you hit esc or f12 or whatever during you boot up cycle....no cuz you can't see when and where to do it.
(sorry if I sound angry, very bad day at work and spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue on my own.)

What about connecting to your computer and nvflashing a stock rom. Or at least deleting some files and or folders...

First of all, **** the one linking search thread. Second mate i would connect it to tv with mini-hd, if that is an option for you.

For your personal data, you could use adb to wipe /data and the sdcard. I'm guessing that you don't have root, but I think you could temp root your TF with gingerbreak. You mightnot need root/temp root just to wipe data.
I think the hardware factory reset will erase everything for good measure, but adb woould be my preference.
For hardware reset: turn TF off. You might have to hold the power button down for 20 seconds and release to force a shutdown.
phold volume down and press power button. release power button and wait at least 5 seconds, longer is probably OK. press volume up and wzit for the magic to happen. It will probably take 15 mins. Admittedly, the hardware reset will be tough because you won't be able to see what is happening, but you could use adb to confirm that it worked.
good luck!

I had a similar problem. Used Android Screencast to view the ouptut on my PC. Unfortunately, even though it was rooted the remote input didn't work so I had to guess where on the screen to tap.

Help! Tablet is bricked?

Hi all,
So I got the Infinity on Thursday. I used the battery yesterday until 1%, and then turned the tablet off last night.
I start charging the tablet today, and when I try to use it the tablet is completely unresponsive. It keeps going to the camera app and takes pictures with flash. I tried using the pin reset button on the side and it does nothing. Turning the tablet off does nothing either - it turns itself back on, and once its unlocked it automatically goes to the camera app and starts taking pictures.
At some point I was able to get into the settings menu, and did a factory reset. However, it is doing the same thing now after the factory reset.
I ordered from Amazon - whats my best course of action? Return it to amazon? Send it to ASUS?

That's very strange, I guess I would return it, but meanwhile you can try flashing firmware manually. Download US or WW from this site http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16
and follow the guide posted today by one user (my earlier posts on this were pretty messy as I was struggling with it, so hopefully this will be more helpful): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29167483&postcount=49
I've just done it myself, doesn't wipe anything from /data, so if I were you I'd wipe data and cache first (from the recovery mode) and then do all the steps described in this ^ post

That's very strange. Might I ask how your homescreen is set up? Maybe it's just registering a buttload of phantom touches to where your camera app is.

[Q] App Backup of Asus TF300

Hello everybody! I have a problem with the application app backup of asus TF300 that I think has not been solved here in the forum.
The problem:
A few days ago, I made a backup of some applications with the app backup. Now I decided to restore, but asks me a password that I do not remember. will be possible to bypass this security?
thanks!

It's the app native from Asus ? Apparently, there is no way
The best way to backup your app, it's to use Titanium Backup or backup your apps with your Google Account
[EDIT] Have you changed something at your TF300 as firmware, kernel ?
If yes, just restore your previous version and normally you will see your backup with all of your apps
or try this process:
1. Cold boot. Try again.
2. Try one app - data only. If OK, try app & data.
3. If 2 ok, try other apps because it may be some sort of copy protection on an app.
Cold Boot (aka Hard Reset)
Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off. Press and hold the VOL DOWN and then POWER button at the same time for at least 10-12 seconds until after the start-up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top left of the screen then let them both go. If the TF booted the way it always does, you have not accomplished the task, try again until you have seen the 2 icons, (if you have Jelly Bean there will be 4 icons, the left most being RCK, which is correct), in the screen.
After a few seconds you should see a couple of shapes in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". The right "Android" will have a green highlight fading in and out. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Booting Linux" appears in the list near the top of the screens and let it reboot. If you own a keyboard dock be sure you do this with the dock connected. If you are using JB there will be 4 icons, disregard the 2-4 icons unless instructed and the 1st icon (RCK) will be flashing..
This applies to all TF models, however, if your Prime or Infinity are locked up, there is a reset available using the hole just below the SD Card slot, this is NOT the same as a hard reset.
A cold boot does not delete any data.
