My hard reset is gone!? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Dunno what's going on, can't hard reset my phone anymore...
With phone turned off I press talk+end+power button until...nothing happens.
Am I doing anything wrong? Clear storage works OK.

Firstly, don't connect your device's USB cable.
Other than that, my advice is to do the following in this order:
1. Turn off device.
2. Using one hand, press and hold both call and end keys.
3. Using your other hand, press the power on key.
This worked for me...

I don't get it. Now it works, but I'm 100% sure that I did exactly the same as before (I tried ~ 10 times before posting). Thanks and sorry for the trouble...

I don't know if the problem is hardware or software. I've tried everything. Anybody can help?
I cannot turn on sometimes or charge the battery. I have to take off and try again.
Thanks!
When you get to the bootloader screen (with word Start) can you use the volume keys to navigate to Recovery and then press the power button to select? If so, once in recovery select Factory Data Reset.
Good luck.

The first time that i did the recovery, gave certain.
But, after freezes again.
I guess that problem is on battery, because i don't can charge in the wall or the computer, i have that take off several times the battery and put in the place for switch on and load again.

Just another person who has Hard Bricked his M8

Hello Everyone
TL;DR Screen doesn't come on at all, battery led only flashes while it is rebooting (More details below), and When plugged in to my windows pc, a bunch of "Local Disk Found" pop up, some of the volumes I can access, most I cannot.
I have searched and searched the internet the past 24 for solutions, and have yet to find one. So imma walk you through what led up to the issue, as well what solutions I have tried.
Yesterday while I was trying to update my rom, I ended up getting stuck in what I thought was a boot loop. I then decided to hard reset my phone and go into recovery in hope to try to reinstall the rom. To my surprise, I could not access the internal sd card in the phone. Data was unmounted in the "Mount" settings and I could not what so ever remount it. After this I tried to side load it, but to no avail.
In response to all my attempts to fix the phone at that point, in frustration, I just said "**** it" and went into factory reset in the bootloader. This is where the hard brick happened. At this point, the screen would not come one, and the battery led was not lit when plugged in. I tried letting my phone charge over night and then, tried the "Battery Recalibrate method". I then tried the "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader"
After that, I then thought that the firmware was corrupted, so I tried to see if I could push an img to the phone, however fastboot does not see the device. I tried RUU, it does not see the device. I tried the HTC Unbrick method by Dexter that required me to install ubuntu and do some things in terminal, that also did not find the device. And here I am stuck. One thing unique to my situation that I have yet seen reported in the countless threads I have searched, is that when I plug my phone to my pc, a large amount of disk drives are found. Most of them are not accessible, but there are a couple that I can go in and see files for. Windows asks me if I want to format the ones I can't access. When hooked to my pc, I tried the the Power + volume button combinations, the only thing that seems to happen off of this is that my phone seems to reboots, and the battery indicator briefly shows.
Anyways, this is all I can remember. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't really think it is a hardware related issue since my phone does somewhat boot. However it seems it can't get to a bootloader what so ever.
Try holding power and vol up for a long time, like a minute or more. Try with and without charger attached, and after sitting on charger overnight.
If the bootloader is intact, the phone is likely not truly bricked (recoverable). And I don't see how you could have damaged hboot by the actions you mentioned.
What is the phone's original CID (carrier version) and are you s-on or s-off?

Verizon is the carrier version, and I am s-off.
Held vol + up for 5 minutes both with and without the charger. One time with the charger into my computer, and another into the wall. When it was in my pc, I can tell its doing nothing but rebooting over and over by the notification sound, and the constant "Found new disk" notifications I got. However still no luck, no screen turns on, no sign of hboot. I'm hoping to have some luck after leaving it on charge overnight and trying again.

So still nothing after leaving it on charge overnight and I held vol + up for about 5 minutes. Things seem grim.
I think the proper thing to do when you discovered internal storage was not mountable, would have been to use the TWRP option to format internal storage (in Advanced Wipe options).
But now I'm baffled as to what happened that would have rendered the phone unable to boot into fastboot mode. Fastboot won't recognize the device if you can't boot into fastboot mode, which leaves use kinda stuck.
So you didn't try to flash anything during the course of all this troubleshooting?
What you did - "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader" is totally wrong
I used to get this bunch of local disk pop-up and this is how I get out the problem
Connect the device to pc, you can hear notification sound on pc that device is connected. Ignore all those bunch of local disk pop-up
Press & hold both power button & volume up button until you hear another notification sound that device is disconnected from PC (that's the indication that device is restarted)
Release both power & volume up button and quickly press & hold volume down button (only this one button)
This should get you on bootloader

No, nothing was flashed except the original Rom update that got this snowball rolling (Not saying its the roms fault, most likely mine).

This is the one combination I forgot to mention in the op, sorry for that.
But I have tried this, before and after your post, still no luck.
If it worth mentioning, I can just hold power + down and it still reboots over and over. As well as just power. As a matter of fact, all button combinations reboot the phone over and over.

I thought the screen was dead? If so, how do you know its rebooting?

By it constantly connecting and disconnecting from my pc. If that doesn't mean its rebooting, then I guess I'm mistaken.

Well, it might mean that.
If it in fact is rebooting over and over on its won, simply holding the vol down button for a long time, should put you into bootloader (on the next reboot "cycle"). Again, assuming it is in fact rebooting, and that bootloader is intact.

Panasonic DMC-CM1 Factory Reset

hello
i searched the whole internet but there are not much informations about this Phone so i thought i make a new Thread
about the panasonic DCM-CM1 Factory Reset.
please write here any informations and experience you have about the Panasonic DMC-CM1
i never saw someone on youtube google or any other side or anyone who can tell me how to do a Factory Reset with this phone
today i called 5 Panasonic service numbers but noone can help, i also called about 10 Phone Service points for repair no one can help.
i tryed so much with this phone and i finaly found that the CM1 have a Secret key combination to connect it with USB as a Android ADB Interface without having acces to the phone cause it is screen locked.
1 .Turn Phone off
2. press Camera + Volume-up + Power ( Hold )
3. while Holding connect USB. (Hold)
4 .the LED should go green for maybe 2 seconds release all bottons while the led is green before it turns off and then the LED must still green.
then windows found a Android ADB Interface
if im in android SDK Tools i the phone will be found in fastboot!
if i type Fastboot Devices
the other thing i know is how to start in Save mode.
but this is nothing to help with a lost pin.. it only starts the phone without apps that have been installed by the user.
maybe for deinstalling a app or a buggy app.. dont know..
start phone at the screen for the pin or at the home menu..press the power botton hold for 2-4 seconds or so it ask for Shut down Restart and so.. just press and hold Shut down. and then it ask you if you want to start in Save mode. then press yes.
2 weeks ago i wanted to make a Screen lock with a pin for more secure.. i cant remeber the pin anymore thats why i want to make a Factory reset i think im not the only one. so any information would be nice
if there is someone who made Factory Reset with this phone or was able to start in fast boot or anything.. please share the infos with us!
thank you.

Startup blocked on Logo LG

Good morning,
When I start my tablet, I remain stuck on the LG logo ...
I can't connect my Pc with lg pc suite or Lg mobile support tool or flashtool.....
Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Edit 07/05 : i got the message on boot ; Secure booting error! Cause : boot certification verify

I just went thru this with my a G Pad 8.0, had quite a few hangups but I ended up figuring it out. Some suggestions from what I learned... :
- Fully charge up your tablet. Mine was charging extremely slow, so I left it plugged in overnight and that finally ended up doing the trick.
- Make sure you have the correct driver installed. If you go to LG's website and find their downloads section, you can search for your device and download its driver. I'm pretty sure their tablet driver isn't device specific, but so if you have any difficulty finding this, let me know and I can post the one that worked for me. After you download the file, don't forget to open and install it. While you're there, you can I'd just go ahead and re-download and reinstall their mobile support tool, just to make sure you've got the most current update. After it installs, open the program; I don't know if you have to, please let but I'd have it open and waiting before you do these next steps.
- Completely power off your device. Unplug it from the wall and turn it off. I found that if I just held down the power button until the screen went dark, my tablet 3would restart itself a few seconds later. But when I kept holding down the power bites dxton thru the reset, it would turn off a 2nd time and actually stay off (about 15sec or so).
- In order to run LG's support tool, you'll wanna boot into download mode. You can search for your device online and it should explain how to do this, I found a couple conflicting methods but I believe the one that worked for me was just by holding the volume up key and then plugging it in to your PC with a USB. If that doesn't work, try pressing the volume up and power keys together then plugging it in, or try pressing both of the volume keys. One of those 3 should have you entering download mode. It will take a few seconds after you attach the cord for you to boot up; keep holding down the keys you pressed until you see the download mode screen. When plugging it in, but I it might be easier to keep holding down the buttons if you start with the cord plugged into your powered off device, and and then plug the other end into your PC while you are doing the boot process. It shouldn't matter which end you connect last, and I found this method to be way less awkward.
- The LG mobile support tool should automatically recognize your device and automatically start the update, and but you might need to select your device yourself, or at least the service provider, in order to update correctly. Just DON'T unplug your tablet thru the entire process. I think the whole thing took me about 15 minutes, depends on your Internet speed really.
- if you've managed to successfully run the update and you're still stuck in a boot loop, you're gonna have to reset your device. Again, you can Google how to do this, but I think most LG's perform a hard reset by making sure the phone is turned off, then press and hold the power and volume down keys. When the LG logo appears, release the power key for a second while still holding down the volume key, and then press and hold power down again until you see the reset screen. Use your volume and power keys to factory reset your device.
Hopefully, now it is should be able to boot just fine! Let me know if you encounter any problems and I'll see what I can do to help.
Hi, thanks for your help sheebie, i'll try asap .

SM-T705 Bootloop

Alright. I've not used this device for a while but now I'm trying to fix it. So far :
1. Device goes on a constant bootloop.
2. I can boot the device if I hold onto the power key. If I let go, it just turns off immediately
3. Can't select anything in bootloader since if I let go of power key (which is to select) it just turns off
4. Tried factory resetting, it's now reset but problem persists
5. When in Download mode, it seems to be able to keep itself on however Odin doesn't seem to detect it. (Windows chimes that a new device is connected (sound only); no warning that device is "malfunctioning", doesn't show up in device manager)
6. Banging the side with the power button also didnt work lol
Extra:
If I put tape on the power button it is able to run perfectly fine. Any ideas?
I'm honestly guessing its a sticky power button. Battery problem is probably not the cause since it's able to hold up normally in Download mode.
Any help is appreciated, really damn confusing. I've never seen a post as such, so if I get this resolved hopefully others can repair theirs aswell.
Bump
Same issue
Exactly the same issue here.
I've even replaced the battery, didn't help.
Did you repair it somehow?
