Unable to hard reset gear s2 - Samsung Gear S2

I cant restore the watch, every time i try to restore it is just auto recover every apps that i has dowloaded and now i cant sync with my s7 .I'm even try hard reset via button but is still nothing happen :crying: anybody have this kind of problem yet ??? Can you guy help me pls :crying: (sorry for my bad English)

Could it be that you ticked off the "Restore" box when setting up the watch again?
I used to reset my watch quite often in the past days because of the voice input not working.
Shut down your watch by long pressing (really long pressing) the home button until it states "Rebooting", then press the home button 3 times to get into the recovery mode where you can do a factory reset.
Then make sure there is no box anywhere (can't remember if it was on phone or on watch) that makes that thing restore the apps.

Ugh.. What did I do and how do I fix it?

So what did I do....
I installed .net 3.5 compact on my phone, and then installed Advanced config and made a few TF3D tweaks. Everything seemed to work ok. I then installed hTorch and it worked.
I then installed dotfred's taskmanager and then did another TF3D tweak. (The cache size one) and then did a soft reboot.
Now my phone doesn't even work. I can barly boot up and when it does boot up I get all of these error about ***.exe can run because it is not a valid
application.
Im thinking it was the .net 3.5 maybe.. or the dotfreds... no idea really.
Phew... so What'd I do wrong? I cant figure out how to un-install the stuff I put on it, because active sync wont run because it wont load on my phone. I literally cant do anything on my phone. The time doesn't even show. All I can see is the battery, reception and that it is on vibrate. I cant even change the volume.
Thanks for any help... I would love a way to do it w/o losing all of my numbers but that maybe the only way. (but I dont even know how to do it like that)

The simplest would be a hard reset but will cause you to loose data, to do this press the the volume down button while pressing the reset button (next to the usb port) then it will ask if you want to hard reset so press the volume up. This will place your phone back to factory defaults.
Any idea how this happened? I would like to do all of this over again, just not sure what I did / didnt do...
I cant get this thing to hard reset.... ugh!
I have tried pressing and holding the volume down button and then pressing and holding the reset button next to the USB and it just keeps rebooting. (Also tried the center button and the volume button at the same time and then hitting and/or holding the reset button.)
Whats odd is sometimes is comes up with my password prompt and it works, other times that same password prompt comes up but my password doesnt work....
Wow... after about 15 reset, and 5-10 times trying to hard reset it... it just started to work all of a sudden..
I'm afraid to reset it again. No idea whats going on... worst part is that I work in IT so I'm really confused as to what is going on.
Hard reset is performed by doing the following.
1. Press the volume down button.
2. Press the action button.
3. Press reset button with stylus.
Press all of the above mentioned sections and continue pressing until you are prompted to perform a Hard Reset.

This is the method for entering bootloader mode, not Hard Resetting the device.
If you have your phone synced to outlook, you should be able to restore your contacts. Also I save all my contacs to sim via sim manager.
a bit of advice which I use... always backup ur phone after installing a program. After each single install do the backup, you should have Sprite Backup which came with ur phone. This way, you can go back to any one point in time to see what F'ed up, takes a bit longer but its worth it.
This doesnt solve ur current problem but at least u can make sure it doesnt happen again... and fyi, everyone ends up hard resetting their phone at some point in their life and lose all data... ur not the first and wont be the last so breath and take it easy.

Touch Pro will not Hard reset!

I started haveing issue with the device last night, the phone app was locking the phone up, i tried restoring from my sprite, but it didnt work.
I got it to a point where it workied, but for some reason it lost all my contacts and email settings.
Well I said screw it, ill just hard reset and start from scratch, after a soft reset, it hung on the "Touch Pro" screen withthe red text at the bottom, then just sits there.
If I hard boot it does the same thing.
any ideas?
go into bootloader and then flash a new ROM there.
Hold Volume down and reset. You will go to bootloader. Plug in USB and flash from there. No need to sd flash.
it will not go past the touch pro screen, still sitting like that now. I cannot even turn it off, just reset it and get back to the same spot.
did you take out the battery for a time? but you do that on your own risk... for me that doesnt sound good ...

Yep, the best I have been able to get is plugging the phone in and getting it to constantly reset itself.
BRICKED!
New ohone in the mail, hope to have it tomorrow,
Now, do I use my old sprite back up from a week or so ago, or start from scratch?
BD
best is to begin new, but for me that would take 1,5 days cause i know nothinh about UC; thats why i restore my spb backup... with differen Romeos version i had never problems ... take the rom upgrade mode...
Greetz
Boris
Once I get to the bootloader screen, how do I flash the rom?
What is the latest stock rom and what is best link to download?
I finally got to the hard reset warning screen. It says press "send" to reset. Everywhere else (including manual) it says to press "volume up". Anway, I pressed and released "send" but nothing happens. It seems frozen on teh warning screen. Or does it take a few minutes to hard reset.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Did you tried the method with settings => system => "Speicher löschen" ( in german; "eraze memory" or something like that in english) => input 1234??
Greetz
Boris
I sent mine back, it did nothing.
hard reset
i had to hard reset my htc touch pro as well because i unistalled a program and it wiped out like half the stock programs. this is what i did....
1). make sure you back everything up that you have on your phone.
2). shut off your phone
3). hold the volume down button and the enter button at the same time. (enter button is the big cirle center button)
4). while holding those two buttons in, press and hold the power button on the top until the popup appears on the screen. then just follow the steps and your phone should be like brand new again!!
Funny thing I did it the first time and it worked like a charm. But now i'm having trouble in doing it again?? any suggestions?? anyone???

Unfortunately this site only deals with HTC phones, not LG. So I doubt that you will get much help here, sorry.
dang. since it's an android phone i thought this place would be a good place for help. any suggestions on where i could get help?
i called lg and rogers and none of them were any help
I will get mine in a couple days (running HTC Dream right now).
I guess if your goal is to just reset the gmail account, you can do so by reseting the google apps setting.
Go to Menu|Settings|Applications|Manage applications
Look for “Google Apps“. Select it.
Press “clear data“
next time you launch the market or gmail, it will prompt for your gmail account again.
I wish I could do that, but the phone won’t even let me go to home screen. Once I turn on the phone it asks for the gmail to get past security. The only access I have on the phone is Emergency Dial
On the EVE to do a FACTORY RESET or DATA RESET
enter in 3845#*620# in the dialer to get in to LG’s hidden menu.
DO THE FOLLOWING TO RESET LG GW620 TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button, MENU button (the one on the keyboard), and CAMERA button for about 5-10 seconds, and a message will come up asking if you want to factory reset the phone.
Important : all data will be lost

GW620 Factory Reset
Hi, Just to let you all know that I been stuck with a home page that would not load properly but would not close either for the last 24 hours before finding this page! No calls, texts or anything!! I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms. LOL However as long as I got my phone on, & with a little manoeuvring, I managed to get all three of these buttons pressed together & my GW620 did indeed go to the Factory Reset message! Thank you Davy.d

Just to clarify it.. Phone should be ON when you use that key combination. Will work. Tested.
the combinations don't work...the only thing you can do is flashing another firmware it resets the phone

[Q] sense malfunction...help please

Hi,
I dont know what happened but since this afternoon (no matter how many times I perform a soft reset) sense is unable to start. I cant even navigate my phone. however I can still send and recieve calls but that's it.
Does anybody know what caused this? Although I install various software on an regular basis I'f never flashed the standard ROM.
Can you please tell me how to perform a hard-reset if software doesn't allow me to?
quote from the manual:
"To perform a hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset"
However before you do that, you could try disabling sense + soft reset + enabling sense -> this helped me few times when my sense wouldn't start.
The question is can you get to Start Menu / Settings? or - if not - does your ActiveSync work?
Some info from the Htc website..
Performing a Factory/Hard Reset You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. For information about ways of backing up your phone, see the following topics:
Synchronizing With Outlook on Your Computer
Backing Up Your Phone Using Microsoft My Phone
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
On the Home screen's Settings tab, tap Menu > All Settings > System > Clear Storage.
Enter 1234.
Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Tnx guys but no luck, when phone is off and I hold the volume buttons then briefly tap power button the damn thing turns on...the the whole crap starts all over again...nothing works except sending and recieving calls...
ok, before you attempt to loose all your data, try copying unpacking the attached file to your Windows folder - it can be done with ActiveSync,
if I did not screw up, once the file is copied there, long-press of phone button should bring the today settings, where you can try to disable sense, and see what happens then...

Agree 100%. I backup regularly but now I cant even hard-reset so that's not my problem.
Until now a hard reset always worked. Putting your (p107r0) file in the windows folder at least gave me the uportunity to disable sense and grand me access to the settings. But the touch screen seems to suffer from this virus too...when I try to purge my stored info (entering 1234) the keyboard shows what key I press but the number doesnt appear in the textbar...
Even trying to install a cab doesnt work. I can find everything on the phone but tapping does nothing...
I'm very close to flushing the phone down the toilet or something...
I feel your pain (1 month with overheating mainboard), but don't flush it yet
try the second method for HR - the one where you start with both vol keys pressed

help whit my tablet EQQUS 7EQ-001

good evening, I have a tablet Eqqus 7EQ-001 and I forgot the unlock key, the worst of it, is that not asking my google account to unlock it .. I've been looking everywhere and bring it into recovery mode to do a factory reset, and after fighting with it for two days to achieve combiacion get buttons to enter recovery mode, but worst case is that a any time in recovery mode lowers the cursor button to make the selection .. really is frustrating someone will have some idea how to make the factory reset?
I forgot .. I also made the attempt with the ADB and the commands to unlock the parotes but still nothing ...
just stays in recovery screen and no button works, to select the factory reset, also try touching the screen, but does not work
