Hello, There is a problem with gsmart guru g1. It is locked with pattern, and I can't remember it. (I didn't use it for long time).
To make things more clear I will list what I tried and what works, don't work:
-Can't turn on internet (Wi-FI or mobile) to sign up to google account when pattern is not correct after few attempts.. (Notification bar won't move... Tried it during a call, and so on..)
-Can enter factory mode (Volume Down), but it is chinese type (english language). There is no factory reset, or data wipe... NOT EVEN eMMC.... I think this factory mode is for testing purposes....
-Can't enter fastboot, or download mode... (that's a problem here, because If I could enter it, I would easily use cmd fastboot and wipe it from there.... (Tried button combos with Volume up, Volume up + Down, Volume up + Home and so on...)
-USB debugging mode is OFF... (Of course can't turn it on....(because it's locked...))
-Power button doesn't work. (but it is not a problem here, I just stick usb charger and do combo with buttons to enter factory mode.)
So this is interesting problem here... Because on other phones I could easily flash recoveries or change rom's... and so on... But this phone doesn't have normal stock recovery... I saw people on other chinese phones just choose eMMC in factory mode, but this option isn't there at all....
I really appreciate any help...
Any help ? :[

Just curious. is it possible? Recently my volume down key suddenly stops working for no known reason. And because my phone's recovery mode is triggered by volume down+power, i cant possibly enter recovery mode because of that problem.
Volume up+power is ok, but that's factory mode. This is a pain for me because if i cant go to recovery, if i got my phone bootloop in the future, i cant fix my phone. And i found one more problem, my pc wont detect my phone too. So basically if i got my phone bootlooped there's no solution to fix it. It only charges but adb and usb connected wont show in my status bar even the drivers is installed in my pc. Seems that two problem is linked.
So is it really possible? I want to make the key combination for my phone's recovery be power button+vol up not power but.+vol down.
And i dont find factory mode useful so i will dispose it.

Hello Guys! This is my first post here.
I have my friend's Galaxy Star Plus (GT-S7262).
It seems have not rooted yet. And the USB Debugging does not activated.
It is locked because of wrong pattern combination.
I'm trying to do factory reset by accessing recovery mode.
The problem is the phone doesn't react when I pressed the combination key (Vol Up + Menu + Power), but I can access Odin Mode.
None of the hardware button are broken, they're still working.
I try to use adb but it's only showing "error: device not found"
I already trying to flash using stock ROM but it is still locked. I flashed the CSC file but only get white screen.
Is there any other way to wipe data/factory reset? Well, thanks before.
*sorry, I'm not good in english
Hi,
I own galaxy s3 i9000, currently on custom rom. My phone automatically rebooted and got stuck on bootloop. If I am able to enter in recovery mode, i can wipe cache(which may can help to get out of bootloop). But the problem is I am unable to enter into recovery mode because phone's volume up button is not working and my phone auto reboots every time after power off or reinserting battery. Is there any other way to clear cache or enter into recovery mode?
I dont want to flash my stock rom via odin (because i didnt backup my some important apps and msgs), this will be my last option.
sorry for my bad english
The normal way I get my phone into recovery mode from the PC is using ADB and the command: "adb reboot recovery". However, I bet this won't work in your case for one of several possible reasons: depending on when the bootloop occurs in the boot process, the phone may never reach a point where ADB is able to see your phone in the first place; if this is happening after a flashing a new custom ROM, then also it's unlikely that USB debugging is turned and the PC is not yet authorized to connect with it over ADB.
Another thought, could your power button be stuck down? I had a GS3 SCH-I535 several years ago and the power switch went bad on it, it would keep rebooting, shutting down randomly, or I'd be unable to turn on the screen. I had a switch replaced and it was fine after that. I don't think it's normal for the phone to automatically boot up when you reinsert the battery, that's why I bring that up. Maybe you can wiggle the power button a bit and try to unstick it if that's the case.
I tried to remove and stick back the power button again, but still it didnt worked. By the way fixing power button will not help me to get into recovery mode as my phone's volume up button is also not working, and recently I found out that I cant enter into download mode too because when I press respective buttons (volume down + home + power) for download mode, it gives warning msg to click 'volume up' buttton to enter into download mode or 'volume down' to reboot. Therefore again volume up button is required to enter into download mode too. So the only option remained for me is to visit service center and fix the volume up button.
I got ADB going..
Tried the ole adb reboot bootloader & adb reboot recovery.. no dice they both just reboot the phone.
I've got a power button on the back & volume up & down.
I tried volume up & down from powered off.. even letting go & holding them back down after a second like I saw 1 suggestion for.. nope
I tried releasing & re-holding just the power button which took me to a factory reset of the phone which is just volume up & down & power to confirm yes or no 2 twice..
Anybody have any idea how to actually get to recovery ?
The weird thing is this phone has a "Allow OEM Unlock" in the dev settings.
I have the same phone and the same problem. I searched a little on the matter and read that the recovery hasn't been released yet, whatever that means. I had to completely factory reset mine to get a virus out(hopefully) Good luck, please share if you find a solution
Hard reset says
Hard reset. Com showed me that you have to hold the power button and the volume down button until you see the LG logo and then let go of the power button and immediately press it again and continue holding until the LG logo goes off in the recovery menu will come up but it's a piss-poor recovery menu because it only allows you to delete all files on the phone
Doesn't allow you to sideload anything and custom recovery i assume?
I got the LG Rebel 4 LML211BL its from tracphone and I've tried and tried to unlock it but I'm pretty sure it's carrier locked...ive been in ADB shell, tried bootloader, tried pushing files into ADB....tracphone has it locked
I have a passcode locked LML212VL and cant get into download mode.. Ideas?
Reset it, go through setup to wifi page. Turn off mobile and then click to turn off the wifi at the same time you click next to continue setup.
Hello XDA
I was suggested on Reddit that I post my problem with my Nokia 5.4 here instead
I'm trying to open up the phone of which I forgot the password, but I can only access bootloader not Recovery Mode.
Is there any software that can make the phone boot up in the Recovery Mode to entirely reset the phone?
Thanks in the regard
Normally, if you need to recover your phone, you do so through settings. But if you're hacking your phone and bricked it (or cannot log into your phone), most people know you can hold the power button and volume down, then enter recovery.
It's not so simple for Nokia 5.3 (or 5.4)
On Nokia 5.3 (or 5.4), you will see the boot menu, and you can use the volume keys to navigate, but if you select recovery, your phone reboots to what looks like a dead Android and reads, "no command."
The secret is when at this screen, hold power, then press the volume up key, 1x (fast). You now are inside Nokia's secret menu. You can navigate using the volume keys, and you select using the power button. One of the options is "recovery" (which would wipe everything).
However, unlike most recovery menus on generic Android phones, Nokia has left the option to install your own apps and update the phone. I know of no ROMS or apps I can sideload into a Nokia 5.3, but it is interesting. I am curious if it would work or not.
