Im trying to factory reset a fake GS4mini labeled GT-I9190 under battery, which is locked because too many incorrect patterns.
Unable to sign-in to google account, because there is no Data Access point created.
Then I tried to factory reset the phone by accessing Android system recovery, which i could by pressing volume + and power key. But nothing happen when i click to 'wipe data/factory reset', instead it only show the warning sign page.
Appreciate if someone could help me on this.

Which button did u use to select the option, whether the home button or the power button?
Try the alterate button for selecting (i.e. If u tried to select using power button then try home button or vice versa)

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried lots of combination to access Recovery mode and to select options from menu.
Nothing happen when pressing the power button, but when i press home button the screen shows only the warning sign, again i press the warning sign i can see the menu. I can navigate though the menu by pressing Volume + and -, but when i Select an option (by Home button, Power button does not work) only the warning sing shows.
Is there any other alternative method to reset the phone, like using odin or any other tool.

Hi
I have a Samsung Nexus S for past 5 months. I recently upgraded to the ICS. Last week, I was listening songs on my phone and all of a sudden out of nowhere the phone re-started.
After couple of minutes, saw a message on screen saying “encryption unsuccessful, you have lost all your data. This phone will now need to rebooted”.
Underneath this message, there was only 1 option of REBOOT NOW. I had to press the button since I had no other option.
After this the phone restarted but never went past the start up animation screen. After couple of days, I gave it another shot and after going past the welcome screen, it gave me the option to register the phone again. But as soon as that screen comes up, I get all these small messages saying, email has stopped, music has stopped, android process has stopped, calendar has stopped................ at this point the phone virtually hangs itself and I can’t do anything.
Can someone please advise what is wrong with my phone and how can I fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Try this, power the phone off, now press and hold the volume up & power botton at the same time, a menu should appear, now use the volume up/down buttons till "RECOVERY" is highlighted green, now press the power button, the phone will now reboot and in to recovery and show an android on the screen, at this point you need to press and hold the power button then press volume up briefly, a menu should appear, use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button, now use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "Yes -- delete all user data" once this is done select "reboot system now", this process will wipe the phone and put it back to factory settings, it won't delete usb storage though so you may need erase usb storage once you're up and running again.

I think that you have to push clockworkmod recovery image like when you root your device.

yeah, try using clockwork recovery.
that's much more usfeul than the stock one
i tried doing clockwork recovery, I cant unlock the bootloader, i did all the steps ie installed android drivers, went to command prompt, typed the command, I can see the option of unlocking bootloader on android but when I select yes, it still says locked. I guess I will have to give up on this phone.

power button doesn't work either? I thought that functioned as the 'enter' button... Imnuts' post will work for sure, but I have to ask why are you in the stock android recovery? unless you meant CWM?
Thanks imnuts, what is the easiest way to adb reboot?
My screen is showing similar to the attached photo but the trackball statement it instead says: [Enter: Home Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
Its asking me to use the home key for my enter but my home key is not functioning. But if you know of an alternative I am happy to hear what your thoughts are.

ADB (Android Debug Bridge, I think) is tethering your phone to your pc and pushing/pulling files or forcing commands to your phone using the command terminal... it doesn't work right away as you need the latest android sdk files, java/jdk files, and altered C:/ path directory (assuming you're running windows, I think thats how it works if anyone can help me out here )
does the power button work as a 'select' button though? also can't you just battery pull and restart the phone or does it restart right into that recovery? just an FYI that is the stock android recovery which you can't (or rather shouldn't) be doing anything in, CWM is recommended... I vaguely recall there being another button that would work like the search button but I'm not sure
Thanks for the advise anoninja118, I appreciate the help.
So last night I tried ADB but was not successful at it, maybe ill look into that more. Unfortunately my phone does not allow the power button to work as the 'select' button. Yeah and pulling the battery leads me back to the same recovery screen. What is CWM?

CWM is Clockwork Mod, its the custom version of that recovery that will allow you to flash files and change options: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
you can flash superuser (what gives you root access) easily in there and just reboot and presto you're rooted... I haven't seen any tutorials on how to use CWM since its fairly easy, to boot into it just hold power+volume up+home until 'Samsung' appears then let go of power and hold the other two until it comes up, then use volume keys and power button to navigate and select
Odin is required to install CWM first though and this thread gives a little info on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580
blazing through on my Acer A500 via XDA app
I have a Moto G XT1033 indian version (v4.4.4). I was sharing files using superbeam when my phone suddenly rebooted. I have timepin app installed which sets the pin to the current time and my default pin is 1234. I tried both of them but it did not open. Tried the android device manager too but seems i did not setup remote locking. Motorola support doesnt list my device though i have an email which says my device is registered with Moto. Plus i tried booting into recovery but it says no command and android bot in distress. I dont want to lose any data but as a last resort i tried formatting too but the phone reboots normally and the format gets cancelled. I dont to lose my data, Is there anyway that unlocks my phone without wiping the data??
1.On The No Command screen , Press and hold Volume Up Button While pressing it Press power button for 2-3 Seconds And Release Power button You Will Boot In Recovery Now.
2.Don't worry it's normal problem... U Can Format if u want by using safe mode just press the power button and again press and hold Power off Option it will ask you "Reboot you to safe mode" just click yes And Reset your phone.

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
Hi, suddenly my device is not working fine. These are the problems.
-Can't see my notifications;
-Can't see my lockscreen;
-The home button doesnt' work;
-Factory mode isn't available, it says that there is no command.
I tried to unlock the bootloader from the Motorola site, but in the last step, when I enter the unlock code, it fails and tells me to enable the USB debugging. I tap seven times to the "number build" but nothing happens. I have the developer options but when I tap it the page is blank with no options. What can I do? Can somebody help me please?

Try a proper external Factory Reset
Android 5.x (Lollipop)/Android 6.x (Marshmallow) Steps
With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.
Press the Volume Down key to highlight Recovery mode.
Press the Power key to restart into Recovery mode.
The screen will display an Android robot with a red exclamation mark. (ie. No Command)
While holding down the Power key, press and release the Volume Up key, then release Power.
Use the volume keys to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press the Power key to select it.
Scroll down to Yes - erase all user data and press the Power key to select it.

Unlocking the bootloader does not require ADB at all, it only requires fastboot and OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer options.
Please check!
Please tell me, if these are the problems you observed:

If yes, please tell if your device ran out of flash memory.
