I purchased a used NOTE3 that had turned the system functionality missing : there was no status bar at the top, did not recognize the wi- fi and Micro SD . For these reasons I decided to do a HARD RESET but this procedure has gone wrong at the end of the initial configuration after pressing the END key . The phone , the next time you reboot, go to a black screen only works where the taskbar, left , from where you can access the apps and system status bar at the top: then I can access the system settings.
Unnecessary attempts have been made to restore the phone via the "recovery mode " which always leads to the error above.
I groped to restore the original firmware but I can not get to the mode "download mode" because , when keys are pressed : "Vol -Down + Power + Home button " , you can access a menu incomprehensible language Oriental (Chinese or Japanese) .
Is it possible to restore the original firmware Taking into account that the phone should not be in " download mode" and is not recognized by Keys and ODIN ?
thanks

:angel:
complete basic information u should knw before doing anything to u device!!!!!!!!!
Download mode
Download mode is used to flash new ROM or custom ROM firmware. (See Flashing)
To enter download mode, turn off the phone and then hold down Volume Down + Home + Power.
If done properly within at least 8 seconds will reboot the phone.
If you can't enter the download mode your phone might be Soft-Bricked.
recovery mode
Recovery mode is used to install system updates in form of update.zip files (such as the one for rooting your phone), performing a factory reset and wiping the cache.
"Android out of the box" icon indicating successfully booted recovery mode
To enter recovery mode, turn off the phone, connect the USB cable, and then hold down Volume Up + Power.
If done properly, the phone will show the SAMSUNG and Galaxy S Plus screens and then end up at the "Android out of the box screen". Now press Menu to enter recovery mode.
The options for actually performing recovery when something is wrong with your phone are very limited with the stock recovery that comes preinstalled on your phone. However, you have the option to replace it with a much better, fully-featured recovery called "ClockworkMod Recovery" (CWM).
Getting into recovery mode can be a bit fiddly and you might need several tries. Connecting the USB cable makes it a lot easier. CWM recovery does not have this problem and boots reliably. If you are still having problems getting into recovery mode, download Easy Reboot Recovery.zip, unpack and run RebootRecovery.bat while your phone is connected with the USB cable. The phone will reboot into recovery mode.
Navigation in recovery mode is done using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to scroll up and down in lists and the Home button for choosing an item. Sometimes a simple push of the Home button is interpreted as two pushes so be careful.
Recovery mode is a separate partition on your device (#13) that holds its own minimal Android system with a kernel and a small set of tools.
rooting
Rooting allows apps to act as administrator of your phone (called "root") and perform modifications on anything. This allows you to use backup apps that can backup all apps including their data on your phone, firewall apps that control internet access for other apps, adblockers which block ads on webpages and inside apps and much much more. You control which apps you want to grant the root privilege to with an app called "Superuser". Please inform yourself on responsible use of root privileges and do not grant unknown or suspicious apps root rights.
All Custom ROMs, CyanogenMod-based ROMs etc. come pre-rooted. The rooting procedure is only necessary if you are using a stock Samsung ROM.
how to root
Easy rooting and unrooting guide by KeksKlip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
Put Root-i9001-Signed.zip into internal sdcard
Reboot into recovery mode by turning on the phone while pressing Volume Up and Power Button
As soon as the "Android out of the Box" appears, press the Menu button
Use Volume buttons to choose "apply update from sdcard" in the recovery menu.
Press Home button to submit.
Use Volume buttons to choose Root-i9001-Signed.zip on sdcard
Press Home button to start update.
Choose "reboot system now" and press Home button to reboot your phone.
Unrooting is exactly the same, except with the file UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip
hit thanks if i helped !!!
You should just delete this thread. There is a better thread in I9001 stickies. Seeing by your post count and also this 'copied' post, you will end up putting people in trouble rather than helping them.

Is there a way to access the data on the device without getting past the lock screen? Since it isn't encrypted I'm wondering how easy it would be to get a backup of your data and apps before you do the reset.

When I select 'recovery' and press vol up, nothing happens, no android logo, the screen just goes black and the phone is still powered off. I'm trying to factory reset to get rid of a screenlock pin that I forgot. I have tried pressing 'factory' and it doesn't get rid of the screenlock pin... The phone seems to reboot, but the stupid pin screen is still there. Anything else I can try?

Greetings from Portugal.
I have a tablet made by the spanish toy manufacturer Imaginarium.
It's a tablet for kids, with special software for them. It also has android on it.
I was trying to update the android version it run on but I seem to have bricked it.
I uninstalled a few apps and now it doesn't starts. It just keeps running the start procedure but it doesn't complete the process so I can not use it.
In fact, I cannot even update the firmware because it doesn't allow me to start the process by simultaneously pressing the MENU, BACK and RESET buttons.
I'm also having trouble installing the drivers for the update tool, the RockUsbDriver for win7.
It shows an error message saying "the inf file you selected does not support this method of installation".
So I was wondering if there is any tool that allows me to hard reset any device, as I don't believe there is a tool for this device.
(I have a new firmware ready to install on it)
As a matter of fact, I don't even know witch hardware we're talking about,,, The only name this has is Superpaquito.
Thanks for your time!
additional info: if I press MENU + POWER buttons, a laying down android figure is showed, with its 'chest' open and with a 'danger' triangular sign on top of it,
Imaginarium Superpaquito Factory Reset
Hello, i was fighting a lot with this problem too but i have a solution for your problem
It's just a few steps :
The superpaquito must be off, and connected to charger:
1. Push 5 buttons (volume down, volume up, on / off, menu and back) at the same time until the screen with the android robot appears.
2. Push the button volume up and the on / off at the same time until you exit a menu with text in blue at the top of the screen.
3 Go to "wipe data / Factory rest" (move with the volume buttons +-) and select with the buttons on / off.
4 select the option "Yes - delete all user data".
5 The superpaquito restore factory settings and return to the original menu.
6. Select "reboot system now" and your device will reboot.
I hope it helped and that you didn't needed to buy a new one

4. Click 'AP' on ODIN and select the downloaded TWRP file
5. Deactivate AUTO REBOOT on ODIN
6. Click Start and the flashing process will start
7. When down, restart the phone using VOLUME DOWN + POWER
8. Once the screen goes black , press VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER to bring up the recovery menu.
9. Once you are in the TWRP RECOVERY menu
10. Go to 'Advanced' --> 'File Manager'
11. Go to 'data' Folder , then to 'system'

13. Find 'gatekeeper.pattern.key
14. Either rename them or delete them
15. Go back to main TWRP recovery menu and reboot 'SYSTEM'
