HELP!!!!! factory reset

[arnold1997]

Yes and also the second line is just:
reboot

 

[PoisonStar]

so i need to type in shell flash_eraseall /dev/mtd/mtd8; adb reboot recovery then after that reboot?

 

[arnold1997]

U dont need to type :adb reboot recovery
You only need to type: reboot
So its like this
su (press enter)
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd/mtd8 (press enter)
reboot (press enter)

 

[PoisonStar]

it says its not found

 

[arnold1997]

Wats not found?
And all of this is on terminal emulator on the phone itself

 

[PoisonStar]

It said flash_eraseall: not found and yea

 

[arnold1997]

Can you boot into the recovery itself??
If not try this:
Pull battery
Hold the recovery combo(Volume Down+Home+Power)
Then while holding the combo put the battery back in(lol might be tricky )
It should boot into recovery
Then when your in recovery go into>advanced>fix bootloop(or similar)
Then reboot
then post your results

 

[PoisonStar]

that doesnt work it just does what it usually does and formats

 

[arnold1997]

Mhmm I don't kno wat might be going wrong because I had this 100% exact problem and I fixed mine using terminal emulator.....
Have u tried adb?

 

[PoisonStar]

idk

 

[arnold1997]

Go back and try bigsupersquid method even tho it isn't a bootloop it should fix it
And instead of C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Try C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
And follow the steps he gives then post your results here

 

[PoisonStar]

how do i get to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ because all i see is C:\android-sdk\platform-tools?

 

[arnold1997]

Enter cd .. twice then when your at C:\ press
CD android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

 

[PoisonStar]

i'm lost

 

[arnold1997]

Instead of android-sdk\platform-tools
It is android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

 

[PoisonStar]

i meant about the tryping cd thing and sorry i know that this is probably annoying :/

 

[arnold1997]

Ok so your probably at C:\android-sdk\platform-tools right?

 

[PoisonStar]

Yea i got there press the shift and right click go to open command window here and copy/paste that code

 

[arnold1997]

So now enter "cd .." without quotes twice then enter wat i told u

If you are using windows 7 navigate to the folder you installed the sdk to. Open it and shift right click on the platform-tools folder and select open command prompt here. That will open a command window in the proper directory.

Remember bigsquid says to hit enter just as the silver logo pops up. That is a important step. If you miss the right timing you will need to start over and keep trying.
