HELP!!! T300 Locked: Requires Google Sign In

Need help guys.
Don't know what happened, but after the kid's Tf300 booted, it's at the google sign in. But the tablet does not have wifi so there's no way to sign in.
So it's been stucked like that for days now. And since we can't sign in, we couldn't turn on wifi. I don't care if we have to factory reset or wipe the system as long as I can get it to work again.
Thanks much for your help.

I've never had the problem but using google search string - android phone locked google account no wifi - gets many hits.
This one looks promising.
Good Luck!
Maybe some with experience on this tablet will respond.

Press and hold the power button at the same time as the volume button.
It will reset the device into recovery mode.
Read the text that shows up, it will tell you to use the volume down button to select the option you wish to choose which is to restore to default (last option on the right), press volume up to select it.
It will wipe your device to factory settings (basically like when you took it out of its box on the first day).

Do not use Wipe Data unless you have stock recovery.
If you have twrp or cwm you will probably brick your tablet!

Thanks guys. I've been trying the Power+Volume Up combo to try to get into recovery but it's not working. Maybe I am not doing it right. The tablet is still on factory ROM. Not rooted nor unlocked.

Power and volume down to get into the bootloader. This is the one you want.
Power and volume up to get into apx mode.

Thanks. I will try that.
fYI. The tablet is still on factory ROM though.

Do you know what firmware version is your tablet currently on?
i have a safe way to factory reset it but i need to know the firmware version to make it's safe for you to try

Care to tell us exactly what you're doing? For me, the easiest method is to power down, then hold the volume up button and press + hold power (holding volume up while powering down works as well for me-- yes, I still lift and press the power button again to reboot.).

You should shutdown your tablet.
Then you hold down the power button AND the volume-down button.
After the screen turns on you can choice wipe data by volume-down and confirm your choice with volume-up.
Now your tablet should run with the factory settings. At your first start you choice your country and your wifi, so your problem should be solved

Hi all
my P6800 is acting up and I could use some help.
Not sure if something broke due to a fall or maybe it's a software/setting issue but here is what's going on:
- the power button seems to have taken the volume up functionality. sometimes it feel like it's doing both (i.e. volume up and power pressed together) because when I reset I sometimes get to the android recovery page (where you can reboot, update from storage, wipe everything, etc.)
- when I connect it to the charger it keeps going to the lock screen (i.e. I unlock it and after 2 seconds it goes back to the lock screen). it's working fine if I unplug it
Now, I figured I might as well wipe it clean and install the new JB (currently on ICS) but it's very hard to get to the download screen without a being able to hold the power button (for the power+volume down combo).
I did manage to get to it once (I was randomly rebooting while pushing different things) but I can't manage to do it again
so my questions for the pros out there are:
- Any idea how can I resolve the button functionality?
- Is there an alternative way to get to the download screen? I can live without the power buttom if it's a hardware malfunction but I want to at least do it with JB...
thanks

If you are rooted, try the app "RebootMenu" free from Google Pay
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.riceknight.gs2reboot&hl=en
There are others too
Edit: If you are still unable to select anything in recovery (power button issue), instal TWRP recovery instead of CWM

I can select stuff in the recovery menu. pressing the power button goes one up and selects (which is consistent of it acting as both power and volume up)
Not rooted at the moment but might try it
thanks

Thanks a lot!
worked.
Root, then used RebootMenu and now I'm running JB
Power button still acts as volume up but I guess I can live with it (and use Reboot menu to reboot every now and then)
cheers

Until OP replies, just a guess ....
1. Root from stock 3e recovery (Chainfire method) power button acting as both vol up+ power
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849235
2. Installed reboot app
3. Booted into DL mode and flashed JB with Odin
4. re-root by same method (if root lost during flash)

Yeap, exactly.
Didn't do #4 yet though. I thought that method (without CWM recovery) didn't work for JB

Not sure about JB, but
With Mobile Odin Pro app you can flash firmware straight from your rooted device and option to retain root.
No need for DL mode

mate just stop blaming him for using the wrong key combination
question to op:
can you boot into download mode?? (volume down+power+home)
if you can:
download your country's firmware from sammobile.com
extract that zip
connect your phone to your computer with your usb cable (make sure your cable is working fine)
click on "pda" in odin, choose the file you extracted from your zip.
the odin should say comort (or a number)
and also shows that you are connected: "added!"
click start
wait until it finishes, your phone should boot up with no problem now
don't unplug when it's still flashing

I can get into download mode. Going to try that now. Also when I said volume up + home + quit I meant quit as the power button.
Edit: Installed stock and rooted now. Thanks.

Help, N5 hardware buttons only working in recovery

I have a Nexus 5 whose buttons quit working yesterday. The power and volume buttons will not work at all or respond to anything at all. Strangely, I can hold the power and volume buttons and it will throw the phone into recovery and the buttons work fine there. However, no response whatsoever while booted into the OS.
Prior to this happening the phone was stock, not rooted, locked bootloader.
In an attempt to fix it, I have done a FDR--didnt work.
I also flashed Android 5.0 and Android 4.4.4 factory images thinking it might have been a corrupted file or something. However, having done that a couple times it still isn't working. Any ideas?

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Are you still under warranty? I'd rma the device

Out of warranty. I hesitate to call it hardware because it works while I am in the bootloader screen and the buttons allow me to put the phone into bootloader. Just won't work in OS

So, all the buttons work if your in the bootloader or recovery? I'd try flashing the factory image and see if they work then. It'll wipe your device so back up first.

Correct. The buttons do not work at all in the OS. But if I press them to take me into bootloader/recovery if I hold em down they will get me there. Once in bootloader/recovery, they work flawlessly.
I tried flashing factory images of both 4.4.4 and 5.0. Did not work.

Try booting into safe mode and see if that does anything.

I can't boot into safe mode. That requires holding the power button until the power dialogue comes up. Then pressing and holding "power off."
The button does not work, hence I cannot go into safe mode. If I hold the power button long enough, it will eventually reboot the phone though.

Enter safe mode with the phone off.
Press and hold power until you see the google logo. Then release power and press and hold volume down until booted. You should be in safe mode.

Same Problem!
