Hi guys, I have my sisters Galaxy Tab 2 here (GT-P3110), she can't remember the google account info she used so she's completely locked out of it. I've tried holding Vol Up + Power button it doesn't do anything, I've also tried putting it into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power button and still does nothing, it just boots like normal. Can't flash via Kies as connection is locked (due to device being stuck on lock screen).
Anybody shed any light as to how to hard reset this when I can't get into download or the android recovery mode?
Fixed - Managed to get into the boot menu finally.
Okay then change the heading and add solved in bracket,

I just bought a Galaxy tab 7 SPRINT and was able to root it and attemptd to flash a alt recovery using the tutorials here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/29/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-samsung-galaxy-tab/
when i last rebooted to install clockwork recery again it stuck at the screen with the computer and phone with a ! in the middle. I tried holding all 3 to power off and then power and vol up or vol down and still goes to same spot. What can i do?
Guys, I need help on my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G. I had tried to do a factory reset but it looked like it got stuck after several minutes. I turned it off and after that, it i stuck on start-up. The Samsung logo would appear, eventually the green android mascot would appear (where it would look like it is rocketing up) the the samsung logo would appear again, then the green android mascot would appear again, and that would loop over and over again. This happens every time I turn on the phone.
Hooking the phone to the PC will try to install driver, (I have installed a lot of drivers) but it will fail and say unidentified device and the phone drive does not come up on the computer so I can not copy any file to the phone or card.
When I try to go into download mode (Power and Volume down combo) and attach Odin, it will recognize the phone but it gets stuck on Setup connection.
When I try to hold Power + Vol up and vol down combo, it will say ramdump mode cause: force upload
When I do manage to get into CWM with Power and Vol up combo, anything I choose (Romwipe, wipe data, etc) will just get stuck on the clockwork logo (hat and wheel like thing).
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me get my phone back to working.

hello, i have a starmobile engage 8 tablet from Philippines that I was able to root. i guess the bootloader is LOCKED, there is NO RECOVERY, and I can't install one. usb debug mode is unfortunately DISABLED without thinking that my tablet will have problems. when i restarted the phone, it showed me splash screen/starmobile logo then followed by a blank screen. after around 5 minutes, it restarts and then same thing happens.
what can be done in this case? please help!:crying:
keep trying to fix it!

I feel your pain, I have the same unit with a different issue but my temporary fix might help you.
Rooted my phone and installed a game(was in the middle of copying a file to the obb ), forgot to activate modded play store and restarted the tablet trying to do a quick modded play store install. after the stupid move My tablet now keeps restarting and stops after the star mobile logo and restarts again and it just keeps restarting.
What I did is I randomly press the following keys to attempt finding the safe mode: home+volup, home+voldown, pow+volup and etc... I finally found the safe mode and did a factory reset which did nothing to fix the restarts. Try not doing this!
Then I pressed and hold both volume keys when the star mobile logo shows up and the red star mobile logo turns blue completing the boot process for some reason starting the tablet.
As of today my engage 8 still does the infinite restart if I restart it but I can bypass it with the method. Hope it helps you.
Planning to do a cache/dalvik cache wipe when my research is done to try and fix this tab, good luck to me...
thanks for your reply... what i thought was that starmobile technicians do not want to share the key combinations. and im glad that you figured it out. can you remember that specific combinations you used? so that i can try then...
just so you know, i sent the unit to star mobile for repair and they managed to fix it. unfortunately i made the same mistake so i just dumped it.

There are only a few buttons on the phone. I mean, if you have 3 buttons, there are 3 combinations.
Assuming your phone has 3 buttons try:
Power + Volume Up
Power + Volume Down
Power + Volume Up + Volume down
If your phone has 4 buttons also try:
Power + Vol Up + Home
Power + Vol Down + Home
Power + Vol Up + Vol Down + Home
NOTE: Press ALL the buttons and hold in the same time.
NOTE2: Try the combinations in the order from top to bottom
Hello Team -
Today, I have tried to Install CM11 4.4 version on my Samsung GT-I8552. I have rooted by device using Kingo Soft tool and tried Volume Up + Home + Power option a multiple times. After a numerous attempts this option does not work. All I get is a small Triangular shape yellow warning sign and the phone won't even start up. I have to remove the battery and turn on the phone again. I tried the ODIN version of recovery option using Volume Down + Home + Power option as well. It worked but I still can't go to factory reset (Volume Up + Home + Power) screen.
Kindly address my issue at the earliest since my phone is stuck no where. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Syed
I need help urgently. I tried to change the splash screen of my Samsung Galaxy A51. I downloaded a custom param tar file, placed it in my downloads folder and used this command in adb shell to replace the older one. I did back up my old param. But there's no way I can restore it. Now, my phone when I try to start it. It doesn't even seem to turn on the screen anymore. I hear the phone vibrating every 2 seconds so I assume it keeps rebooting. I tried to enter download mode but I can't because samsung made it that you need to go into the recovery first, so I tried to go into the recovery but nope, it keeps vibrating and it's not responding to whatever I do. Is there still any hope for my phone? Thanks in advance.
Hello, I had this problem too. My phone also stopped booting into anything, even in TWRP.
For me, the resolve was to make the phone force reboot by holding power button and volume down, then immediately try to enter the downloading mode by holding volume buttons, when the screen turns off
and then you need to flash your device with your stock ROM
I understand you, that you cannot enter the recovery, but for me this method worked
I managed to solve it, the problem I had was that I was unable to boot into download mode. Because I have a samsung galaxy a51 and I did not know how to enter it. The last phone I had was a samsung galaxy s7 edge, back in the old days it was easy to enter download mode, just hold volume down, power button and home button. Now for some reason I need a cable connected to my computer and then hold volume up and down simultaneously. After I figured out how to enter download mode I flashed stock rom and phone worked again.
