Swipe 3D Life plus tab -- hard reset
Hi Everyone,
I know how troublesome it is to unlock a Swipe 3D life plus tablet. Truly speaking . there is no way to unlock it other than hard resetting it. Even if your tablet is under warranty, the company through their service centers charge you around 250 bucks which is quite annoying.
After a lot of attempts, i figured out the way to hard reset it. It is exactly the same as you would hard reset a Google Nexus 7 tab.
So here is the procedure (follow carefully)
1) Switch off your tablet
2) Your tablet has only three buttons, one for power and a combined button for vol - and vol +.
3) Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down(while still pressing Power).
4) Within a few seconds, it would say: Encryption unsuccessful and you can find a menu on screen saying "Reset Tab".
5) Just select that "Reset Tab" option. it would show android logo (do nothing , just wait a couple of seconds)It would automatically shutdown and boot up again.
6) This time it will take a little longer to load.
7) Finally It will prompt you to the home screen.
Hope this helps !!!

I have tried hard resetting my phone, but I cant' get it to work. With the phone off, I hold the "volume down" key and press the power button. If i press the power and release quickly, nothing happens. If I hold it long enough for anything to happen, the phone just starts up normally. What am I doing wrong?
Also, If i reset the phone from the privacy menu, does it do the same thing as the above method?
no idea on the second question but try holding the volume up and down at the same time and then pressing the power button until it starts to boot. Continue holding down volume up and down and release the power button once it starts booting. Let us know if this did it for you.
I think you need to hold the volume control button (both Up & Down together) and the Power button until the Reboot screen appears.
Yea but none of the options will reset my phone...
My son was playing with the pattern lock and locked my phone, recovery using gmail username/pass don't work, so I need to hard reset it...
I've done the "delete all user data" and "delete cache data"
But it hasn't removed the lock... and I see my wallpaper is still the same...
Any other ideas... I am stuck with a $200 paper weight right now!!
Update: Fantastic!! Called Samsung, they said it's a bug and I need to send it in to be reflashed... hell no, back to the AT&T store I go... EXTREMELY dissapointed in AT&T / SAMSUNG.... It appears the standard Vibrant S can reset to factory settings!
Thanks,

hi guys,
i just god nexus from a second hand store. i want to hard reset it but it does't.
it is stuck in the screen where the little green guy with the triangle with an exclamation mark next to it. please help.
is there a way to load the factory rom manually?
(i know how to jailbrake and downgrade an iphone so this should not be so hard)
Hold volume down and press on once you see menu with recovery
press volume again and you will see option for clear storage - thats what you want
that is what i have done already. but why is the mobile preventing me from hard reset ?
I have been hanging around the XDA forums (as well as every other forum I could think of) and have been unable to solve my re-set problem.
I got my Nexus S about a week ago and decided to unlock it. That went well, no problem. Then I decided to root using Superboot - that did not go well. Now my phone is unresponsive, just sits on the Google name with an unlocked padlock on a black screen. I can get into fastboot mode by using the volume up and power button if I do this right after replacing the battery. I cannot seem to go anywhere else. Once I got into a menu that would let me install from sd card, but none of the options would install. I followed the following directions to see if I could do a hard reset:
Hard reset Nexus S using hardware buttons
This option is recommended if you are unable to access the options via the Android OS.
1. Turn the phone off by pressing and holding the Power button for about 2 seconds, the tapping Power off. Alternately, you can pull the and replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button while pressing and releasing the Power button.
3. Continue to hold the Volume Down button until you see a menu appear.
4. Now tap the Volume Down button to scroll down to the Clear Storage option.
5. Press the Power button to select Clear storage.
6. Press Volume Up to select Yes.
After a few minutes the hard reset process will be completed and you can reboot your phone to factory default settings.
I never get to the clear storage option, although I have tried data/factory reset and wipe cache. I can get to the android with the triangle and exclamation point but that will just sit for ever, and removing the battery at that point and then rebooting does not work. It just takes me back to the Google and the unlocked padlock. FWIW - my phone updated right before I unlocked it. I don't think it is bricked, but I sure can't get passed the Google name or the Triangle/android.
Thanks for any help.

I've the same problem now - did you ever resolve yours?
Here is how
Power off by removing battery
Hold vol up not down and power,
release power and you get Fastboot mode
vol down to recovery and click power
You get the screen with Android + triangle
Click up and Power again for few seconds
you will get the 'Android Sys recovery'
However if you have my problem 'error in loading the built in SDcard memory this wont help.
The only way i managed to get it to work some times although not now, is to reboot the mobile while it is connected to a PC, and load the PC at the same time.
However this time i am stuck at Google screen

Hi
Is there any way to remove a screen lock om this phone?
My son wishes to make one, but cant remember the code
Do i have to drop the phone into the garbage?
No good phone after all.
Hope some one can help me, or my son, with this.

You can factory reset the phone. I'm not sure, but I think if you keep guessing wrong, you'll get an option of logging in to the Google account associated with the phone, and.... well, actually, I don't know what happens then, since I've never done it or seen it.

Have to ask my son, if he has got that message about resetting.
Thanks
Gaasen
He hasent got that option.
Other options, to unlock ?
Gaasen
Try this:
Hardware key Reset:
1. Press the Power button to turn off the unit.
2. Press and hold down the Volume Down button located on the side of the device, then press the Power button and release it.
3. The phone should start with a menu present a list of options.
4. Use the Volume Down button and navigate to the Clear Storage option.
5. Then press on the Power button.
6. Select Yes to confirm your choice of selection.
Your Samsung Galaxy Xtreme S5690 will now reset back to factory default settings and all your data will be erased.
Hmmm...
The phone just start up, and wants the code
No list as you told.
Any other things to try out?
Gaasen
Make sure you hold down the Volume down button long enough. If still nothing, try other key combinations to get boot into factory recovery.
Cant get the "meny" to reset the phone.
If i push and holds the voloume down, press power for 2 sec, release power and still holding the voloume down, the phone loads until the screen lock appears.
I also tryed the other buttons, but just load until screen lock.
Is there any other way to reset the phone, with USB or so?

I have a 7in. Trio Stealth G2. Its is stuck in a boot loop. Im currently waiting on the battery to die so I can try to hard reset that way, and to get to the Android recovery menu. The reset button on the back is completely useless at this point. Other than bouncing it off the wall im at the end of my rope. Tech support reps at Machspeed are anything but tech support. (they asked to walk me through the hard reset 3x)
Hi there,
From this thread I will quote the steps for reset: Trio Stealth G2 Hype frozen at boot logo
Hard Reset G2 – In the case of password lockouts or freezing, doing a hard reset on your android device could help you get back to the factory defaults. First you need to make sure your tablet is powered off. Hold down on the Volume + button and hold down the Power button at the same time. As soon as the tablet's screen turns on let go of the Power button but keep the Volume + button held down until you see a large Android in the center of the screen. At this point you will see a screen with boot options. Use the Volume – button to go down to Wipe Data Factory Reset and tap the Power button to select this option. On the next screen use the Volume – button again to go down to Yes and use the Power button to select. At this point it will be going through the wiping and resetting process. When it's done you will see the first screen you came to when you first started the setup. Just tap the Power button to select Reboot System Now.
Make sure tablet is powered off.
Hold down Volume + button and Power button at same time.
When screen comes on let go of Power button.
When the large Android shows on screen let go of Volume + button.
Use Volume – button to scroll to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
Tap Power button to select.
Use Volume – button to scroll to Yes.
Tap Power button to select.
Tap Power button to select Reboot System Now.

Hi All.
Currently facing a problem which Moto can't seam to help with.
The device is stock out of the box and is approx 8 hours old.
Every time i press the power button then unlock the device, it brings up the speed dial screen. This is even if its on Facebook, Gmail, when i press the power off button, press it again, unlock the device it brings the speed dial screen up.
I'm sure i'm missing something simple, tried a cache reset but just keep getting a no command screen, and even hard reset the device.
Many thanks
