Hello, I am new to this forum and almost a complete beginner when it comes to Android.
I just found my old Samsung SM-G360F phone lying on the floor. I thought I lost it several years ago, but apparently it slipped through the bed mattress and landed on the floor where it has remained until this day.
I connected the charger and it seems that the battery still works normally. Unfortunately, I set up some password on this phone when I used it years ago, and of course, there's no way I can remember it now. So, the only way I can recover this phone is to do a factory reset.
On the Internet, I can see that the recommended method to do a factory reset on this phone is to hold the HOME key and Volume UP key, and then press the Power key and hold all three keys until the recovery mode is displayed. The problem is, I never get the recovery menu by pressing these keys, but instead I always get some kind of "ODIN MODE".
Please take a look at the screenshot I made with another phone of this ODIN MODE screen. The first picture is of this ODIN Mode screen. The second picture is what I get if I press Volume DOWN + HOME + Power On. It's some kind of download mode, which again isn't what I need right now.

Could someone please help me and explain how I can do a factory reset on this phone? Thanks in advance!
Just use odin and flash your stock firmware and it would be good as new

Regards
hard reset it.
Hay man how i do this plz give more details
thx in advance
1. Put the item flat on the table, screen up.
2. rotate the set so that the reset hole is away from you
Then, using your left hand,
3. Place your index finger on the green call button, press down
4. Place your middle finger on the red end call button, press down
5. place your thumb on the power button, press in
6. use your right hand with the stylus and press the reset button.
The screen should start to blink and a message will say resetting to factory defaults (note that hard resetting the device will cause the device to be reset back to its original factory default settings and all data will be lost)
you can do it this way too:
1. put the stylus in your mouth(!)
2. press the power + red + green buttons with your fingers
3. poke the reset hole with the stylus in your mouth
At first my phone got stuck in the splash screen, then I did hard reset (using Power & Vol, Up key) didn't work.
Then I turned my phone in odin mode, started flashing but got restarted resulting firmware to get corrupted. Now if I connect in Odin mode, it keeps on restarting, can't even turn the phone.
Please help.

Hi,
I recently purchased a replacement USB port part for my Nexus 5, as my original one had a bad connection on the port which made charging very tricky.
The new part.

I followed a Youtube guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqCEXEmcj4Y
I did as was instructed, the only thing being an issue was that fitting the ribbon back into this port was a little tricky. (see the circled image below).
Put the phone back together. Powering on I feel the phone vibrate as if its powering on, but there isnt anything on the screen.
I hold the power button down to turn it off, but I dont get any vibration indicating it has force powered off.
Ive opened it all up and checked the work ive done, but still the same issue.
I thought it may be the new part I put in, so I swapped it for the old one.
Im concerned now that the port that i had to fiddle with to connect may of been damaged (although i was very careful). Or is there a more simple explanation where I need to connect it to a computer in an attempt to bring it back to life?
FYI I have just tried the vol keys and i can hear the vol change sounds. I may take the opportunity to back things up now.
Is it possible to do a factory reset without seeing the screen? I have a lock pattern that I obviously cannot see now either.
All help appreciated.
Thanks
Hi, ive been trying a bunch of things just to make it worse so here is the case:
i have 2 scenarios in my Lenovo Yoga Tab2 Pro 1380F:
1. Power on + Vol+ +Vol- goes into "FastBoot Starting..."
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Power on + Vol+ OR Power on + Vol- OR simply Power on :
BOOT FAILED EFI HARD DRIVE
BOOT SUCCEDED - ENTER SETUP
and enters Valleyview Co Platform "Bios"
In this second case, once entered "BIOS" now, and I say NOW cause yesterday was another case, i cannot do anything, Vol+ and Vol- aren´t working in there (wrong bios flashed although it says its for 1380F? not sure for i cannot tell the difference) so...stucked there. Also, yesterday, before "loosing" Vol buttons, when it was still working, tried to plug a keyboard with zero response.
Lets go to the first scenario:
Once in fastboot neither A) "Phone Flash Tools" (V4.4.4. and V5.8.4) or B) "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" solve the problem.
in case B) responses are "remote: unknown command":
and in case A)
once reaches 9% disconnects and tries to reboot bur falls into BIOS , then continues to 13% and no more until i "reboot manually (power button+Vol)" again into Fastboot and continues to 22% but, all processes (wipe ESP , so on factory2tmp and start_partitioning, failed.
Maybe im forgetting things cause im getting really tired , almost 3 days now on my chair ...I would be really gratefull if you could help me solve this, i like the tablet and want to learn more about all of this.
Thank you all
I am very sorry if it is not understood very well, I am using a translator since I only speak Spanish.
Have the following tablet:
Samsung Tab 2 10.1" GT-5110
I wanted to install TWRP from Odin3.14.4 (its latest version to date), but an error came up. At that time I did not take a capture to show him.
After what happened, the following message appeared on the screen:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
Of which I could not enter the download mode in any way, not even in the recovery mode. Only that message appeared.
I tried to fix it with Samsung's Kies, but I had no success, since it told me that there was no connection with the tablet, but my Windows could recognize the tablet, as well as Odin3, since I have installed the Samsung drivers.
So the next step I found to solve the problem was to install the original Fireware, from which I managed to get it in "Frija" and I started to install it with Odin3.
Everything was going perfectly, maybe I would be able to solve this problem that I got into, I could see that the tablet screen began to load a progress bar, but... the following error appeared, which now I did take a screenshot of.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
The thing is that now the tablet has turned off completely, it has a black screen and now Windows doesn't want to recognize it. Try to disconnect the battery, try to press the power button + vol down or up, but I have no success.
The truth is that it is not the first time that I do this, and I do not understand how it is possible that it is costing me so much if the files are correct, I follow all the tutorials step by step.
Anyway, this is my last chance, I come to this forum to find out if any expert on the subject can tell me if my tablet died permanently or if there is any remote possibility of saving it.
From already thank you very much.
