Hallo everyone.
At a quick look I was not able to find the forum area for introductions so... My name's Roberto and I'm intrested (among other things ) in Android world (I have several smartphones and a couple of tablet).
My problem is a Tablet: Meep X2 from Oregon Scientific :crying:. The thing is stuck to the intial screen (the one with a gear which turns on and on...)
Does anyone know how to hard reset the Tablet?
Clearly I tried the on/of button for several seconds, the reset button on the back, any combinations between theese two... I also completly discharge the battery.
Any help will be welcomed.

Android Recovery - Meep X2
It is possible to boot the MEEP! X2 into Android recovery mode. On the back of the tablet is a small cover. Remove it (It should slide off). It will expose the external SD card slot and you should also see a hole labeled "Upgrade". Make sure the MEEP! X2 is off. Using a small object, insert it into the "Upgrade" hole and push the button in. Keeping the "Upgrade" button pushed in, push in and hold the "Power" button. Keep both buttons pushed in, while the MEEP! X2 turns on/boots. After a few seconds, you should see "Android system recovery <3e>" at the top of the screen. At that point, you can now let go (stop holding in) both buttons. Use the "Upgrade" button to select/highlight "wipe data/factory reset". Once selected/highlighted, push the "Power" button. The "wipe data/factory reset" process wlll start. Once completed, your MEEP! X2 should reboot. Hopefully, it will not get "stuck" on the boot screen and be back up and working. A factory reset will wipe all data from the MEEP! X2, to include the preloaded apps. However, those can be recovered from the "Meep Store", along with any apps you may have purchased. Google Play items can be reinstalled, after you have relinked the Meep's Google Play email and password to it. Unfortunately, all game progress will be lost, but it is a small price to pay to get your Meep working again. I cannot take credit for these instructions. I found them posted by an individual on the Meep Tablet - Italia Facebook page. The instructions seemed to have worked for several people. A few have reported that they coud not get into Android recovery mode, but I think it may work for you. On another note, these instructions do not work for the original MEEP! Good luck!
Thank You!

Thanks very much! :good:
That's what I need to know.
The point is: all andorid devices can be restored using "recovery mode" but the problem is to enter in such a modality when there are NOT phisical Volume Keys on your device!.
Thank s again!

After you do the above steps it tells you to use volume up/down buttons to select the options. However the Meep X2 does not have any volume buttons. To select the factory reset you will have to push the Upgrade button to scroll through the menu. Once you get to the selection you want, you will select the option by pushing the power button. The Meep should successfully reset once the factory reset is selected. Thank you for your time.
[Q] "Rebooted shell" from power menu, ViperOneM8, now stuck at splash screen!
I selected "Reboot shell" from power button menu, ViperOneM8, now stuck at splash screen!
I have only had my M8 a few days. I dont recall the exact versions, but its up to date with newest ViperOne, Sense, Lollipop - everything. Been working like a champ.
Today it got a bit laggy, i probably had many processes going, and from the power button menu, i did "reboot shell." I dont know EXACTLY what that means but it sounded like a good idea, or, at least couldnt hurt? i thought maybe it would kindof "soft reboot" , restart the Sense/ Lollipop / etc services maybe?
But alas, 20 minutes later, it is still at the splash. i've held down power and combinations of the three buttons for a while, nothing happens. Please advise, and lord i hope i didn't brick (to any extent) my phone i JUST bought.
Can anyone please advise?

I had this happened on ViperOne once before.
You hold down volume up + power until it reboots. It can take quite a while to start the reboot. If you want to boot into recovery then as soon as the screen goes black hold power + volume down to boot into the bootloader where you can navigate back into recovery.
Edit once more: Android 5.0.X has a memory leak that Google fixed in Android 5.1. So unless that leak was fixed in the ViperOne rom it's probably still there and the reason why your phone got choppy.
thanks im going to try that now!

Glad it helped.
Just remember that is a phone reboot method and it's not limited to roms, so it works almost always. I say almost because there's not much helping a brick. lol
Good day to all. I'm here resorted to ask about my problem here because I really can't handle it. I been googling for days. I'm ran out of resources from both google and tablet. So, I hope you can help me here. Note I'm going to write this in FULL detail here, so expect this to be a extremely long post. (I been warning you) So here goes....
Anyone uses the brand Ramos?(kind of unpopular brand) I use Ramos W21, it's been using it around 1 year and a half, and it endured a lot of problems, but fixed by researching on online forums and apply various methods there. Now, I think it's finally gave up...
One time, when I opened it and play my usual apps and browsing, it caused the errors " unfortunately
google.process.gapps has stopped", unfortunately browser has stoped",and "unforturnately google play has stopped". Then, I tried to clear data the similar apps in settings as usual, and even disabling them. Then more errors exploded, and "unfortunately launcher has stopped" appears. The menu screen(where the usual wallpaper and shortcut apps are located) turns black, while my running apps are still there running. When I pressed the back key to exit the app, now only tons of errors from the launcher appears endlessly(while the screen is black.
The time I finally turned it off by hard reset it made its way to the main problem: the bootloop.
Okay, here's where the thing gets real. It opens with the usual ramos logo, but the next one is a silver flashing android logo instead of enlarged ramos logo with spinning fire from the letter o(which is NOT my usual boot up screen) When I turned it off, it reopens again up to flashing silver android logo and the cycle repeats, even with pin reset until battery dies out. No recovery mode, so I can't use it to fix this. USB connections can't be recognized when inserted to PC. And no, the tablet is not rooted, and I don't customized anything, no mods, and no fancy roms. Just using a stock rom.
So now what? All I have here is just a sd card slot, which I think there's hope in there. Right now it has two options, deal with it and fix with all of might, or repair it in the nearest repair shop(something that is pretty risky, a lot of fakes and robbers here)
Well, this is the first time I post here, so sorry for anything that goes wrong. Thanks in advance.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like a rouge app has replaced your boot animation. Rather than try to chase that down and try to fix it I'd flash the stock firmware and start all over. Unfortunately there is very little about your device on XDA. So you'll probably have to google that.
Solved!!!
Update: I FINALLY FIXED IT!!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! O.O
After I keep on wrecking it's power buttons and volume buttons, I discovered something decisive!
This tablet actually HAS RECOVERY MODE! Again, it has a recovery mode! However, the way how to input it is very unique compared to most devices, including other devices from the same brand!
Now having the power of recovery state, I first selected "wipe data cache". The old large Ramos logo with spinning fire appeared again! But it's still bootlooping. So I went back on recovery state, selected "factory reset" and boom, IT BOOTS LIKE BRAND NEW!!! (sacrificing my old data though)
Okay, I don't want this recovery mode powers to be kept only by me. So I'm going to share it to all Ramos users,especially the model W21, like right now!
1. To do this, you need power button and volume up button.
2. While bootlooping, hold the power button and volume button at the same time and it will turn it off(Then expect it to turn on back up again automatically)
3. When it opens up again to the small Ramos logo(no fire animation), now RELEASE the POWER BUTTON ONLY, and keep holding the volume up button. Note, this is important! If you do anymore than this, it will either black out, go bootlooping once again, or ultimately, nothing.
4. Keep holding the volume up button, then the ramos logo will disappear, and now it will enter to our holy grail, RECOVERY MODE! Congratz!
Now when you finally have a normal working Ramos tablet again, you may go there again by turning it off by "Power Off" (assuming that your tablet is open) then holding the power and volume up(then follow above!)
I hope this will help a ton for Ramos users! :laugh:
I'm glad you got it working. You should post your solution here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general More people with your device will look there than in the Assist forum. Name the post something like [SOLVED] RAMOS Bootloop Problem

Hello everyone, I have just recently bought this Lenovo A5000, everything was perfect until i did a mistake today, just an hour ago. I will list step by step how i encountered the problem below.
1. I did some search on the net about hidden code or secret code for service menu(for lenovo)
2. I found some then i tried this code ####999# then all of sudden the screen changed to multiple [email protected] testing followed by microphone test, then camera test then some other test. It keeps repeating and does not stop.
3.I tried to press whatever key is available along with home menu or multitasking hot key but no avail. It keeps repeating and repeating, Pressing on/off power button also not working.
4. The only things that work is, i was able to scroll down for hidden menu as we do on all android phone. I can go to settings but only settings display etc. I tried to search for the running service test on running programs under the apps menu but nothing. I also tried to press power off/on button here but no avail.(please take note thatthe service test still running at the background during this time).
5.Finally when i tried to close any running systems apps i managed to get into dialling menu. but again i just leave it here because the service test does not seems to work here.
6. Lastly when i look at my phone, it was already black in screen that i believe it was in sleep mode but when i press any button this phone doesnt awake. tried to press the power on/off longer but no avail. unfortunately i cant pull of the battery because it was not removable.
Hopefully anyone of you can suggest me how i can revert it back to normal. Really this is unexpected. I ONLY pressed ####999# and voila [email protected] test started. I appreciate much your help guys. Thanks
NOTE;
I dont know where i get the idea but, as i said above, the phone goes to sleep with no response. What i did a few minutes ago ,
1.Press the power on/off button and keep pressing the volume up several times followed with volume down then release.
Then Lenovo logo comes up, then VOILA! my phone was normal again.
Anyway i will always give a credit to XDA forum for many valuable tips and knowledge that i learned before. Thanks
Most common problems of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge owners may encounter are random freezes and lags, system slow down, and unexpected reboots or shutdowns. They’ve been happening with previous Galaxy models and maybe my post will help you in fixing these problems :
Step 1: Find out if the problem is with your apps
You may have already downloaded a lot of apps so it might be difficult to pinpoint the culprit but that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. There are two general categories of apps; pre-installed and downloaded or third-party.
If the problem occurred after installing some apps, then you can almost be certain one of those caused the problem. However, if it’s difficult to pinpoint which app it is, you need to boot your phone in safe mode.
1. Press and hold the Power key.
2. As soon as you can see the ‘Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE’ on the screen, release the Power key and immediately hold the Volume Down key.
3. Continue holding the Volume Down button until the device finishes rebooting.
4. You may release it when you can see ‘Safe mode’ in the bottom left corner of the screen.
In this state, all third-party apps are temporarily disabled so if one of them caused the issue, then the problem shouldn’t occur.
Even if you already know that one of the downloaded apps is the cause, you may spend a few hours trying to find which one is the culprit. So, to make things a little faster, begin your troubleshooting with the recently installed apps.
Boot your device in normal mode and try to disable or uninstall suspected apps. However, if you’re not into finding the specific app that’s causing all this trouble, then I suggest you reset your phone to uninstall all of them and try to download them one-by-one.
In case the problem still occurs in safe mode, the possibilities are the problem is caused by a pre-installed app or it’s a firmware issue. Proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Find out if it’s about a corrupt system cache
The system cache can easily be corrupted especially after an update as the old files will automatically become obsolete. But unlike the system data, the cache can be deleted without the fear of losing settings, files, and other data, etc. In fact, it’s always recommended you delete the system caches every time you experience issues with your phone’s performance like random reboots, slowing down, unexpected shutdowns, etc.
Once you’ve deleted the cache or wiped off everything inside the cache directory, the new system will create new files and this time, you can reset assured that everything is compatible.
Moreover, it is also important you do this step as some pre-installed apps may have also corrupted their caches causing them to freeze, hang or crash that will eventually affect the general performance of your phone. So, to delete the system cache, follow these steps:
1. Turn off your Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
2. Press and then hold the Home and Volume UP keys, then press and hold the Power key.
3. When the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge shows on the screen, release the Power key but continue holding the Home and Volume Up keys.
4. When the Android logo shows, you may release both keys and leave the phone be for about 30 to 60 seconds.
5. Using the Volume Down key, navigate through the options and highlight ‘wipe cache partition.’
6. Once highlighted, you may press the Power key to select it.
7. Now highlight the option ‘Yes’ using the Volume Down key and press the Power button to select it.
8. Wait until your phone is finished doing the Master Reset. Once completed, highlight ‘Reboot system now’ and press the Power key.
9. The phone will now reboot longer than usual.
Step 3: Bring the phone back to its factory settings
After booting the phone in safe mode and deleting the system and the problem still persists, it’s time to do a more complicated and a lot more hassling troubleshooting procedure, the master reset. For this, you need to backup your files, music, videos, photos, apps, data, etc. You can move them over to your SD card or copy them to your computer because they’ll be erased when you follow the steps below.
But just before you do the reset, remove your Google account from your phone and disable any screen locks you may have engaged to make sure the Factory Reset Protection or anti-theft feature won’t be tripped. Once ready, follow these:
1. Turn off your Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
2. Press and then hold the Home and Volume UP keys, then press and hold the Power key.
NOTE: It doesn’t matter how long you press and hold the Home and Volume Up keys, it won’t affect the phone but by the time you press and hold the Power key, that’s when the phone starts to respond.
3. When the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge shows on the screen, release the Power key but continue holding the Home and Volume Up keys.
4. When the Android logo shows, you may release both keys and leave the phone be for about 30 to 60 seconds.
NOTE: The “Installing system update” message may show on the screen for several seconds before displaying the Android system recovery menu. This is just the first phase of the entire process.
5. Using the Volume Down key, navigate through the options and highlight ‘wipe data / factory reset.’
6. Once highlighted, you may press the Power key to select it.
7. Now highlight the option ‘Yes — delete all user data’ using the Volume Down key and press the Power button to select it.
8. Wait until your phone is finished doing the Master Reset. Once completed, highlight ‘Reboot system now’ and press the Power key.
9. The phone will now reboot longer than usual.
Step 4: Request for technical support
Or, you can just bring the phone in to your provider and have it’s technician check it up for you. If you’re within the replacement period and the problem can’t be fixed, you may receive a brand new unit. But the point is, you’ve already done everything you could to no avail, it’s time you had an authorized tech help you with it.

Hi friends, i see s7 edge have some security issues , i always had screen off button app, and now i can't. Because i always turn off the screen and ask always password .
Only if i lock with power button is possible finger print.
Any solution.
Thanks.
this is not an issue, it is working as intended since the latest software update by Samsung. you have to use the H/W button to lock your screen in order to use your fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
No 3rd party app is allowed to lock your screen atm.

any one help me, my galaxy s7 edge totally hang up.. after flashing new rom and reboot it after few seconds its hang and work open anymore...
Yesterday (5 November 17), I turned my phone off. I cannot turn it back on; no flashes, no response. When plugged in to a charger, no charging icon. It's as if the battery was removed, which of course cannot ordinarily be done. I have had no problems with it to this point.
Has anyone experienced this?
