Try the home button.

What do you mean home? And it worked before I scroll up and down using the volume but when I press the power button to select it doesn't work. Why is that

[Q] Can i do a factory reset with a dead screen?

My wifes wildfire s has a dead screen. its now out of warranty and it will be sold on ebay. Problem is i would like to factory reset it and dont know the key sequence for this particular phone. I have checked out other posts but there is no guarantee that they have the same sequence as the wildfire. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks

Do you have ClockworkMod installed or is it the Default Recovery?
If its clockwork, then read on...
1. Power+Volume Down
2. Wait about a minute for HBOOT to do its thing.
3. Key DOWN. Press POWER
4. Wait a few secs
5. Volume Down x2 then POWER
6. Then Volume Down x7 then finally Power.
That is a factory Reset.

You can also perform a factory reset straight from hboot, just boot your phone to bootloader ( pull out battery, insert it back in, hold vol down and press power button ). Now when you are ( hopefully ) in bootloader, all you have to do is wait 30 sec ( it will check sdcard for possible files to flash ), and then press volume down 3 times, then just hit power button. It should reboot once to standard recovery ( to perform a wipe ) and once again to system, you should be able to hear startup sound if everything went OK.

Thanks, I gave it a go. No way to be sure really so I'll just cross my fingers!

turn your phone off. press and hold volume up and volume down + power button (at the same time) then scroll with volume up till you see "recovery" press power button . wait untill u see an android logo, then press power + volume up . a menu will be shown. choose wipe data )by scrolling with volume) then hit power. choose wipe cache then power. choose reboot system now then power

Nexus firmware is not supported by kies you will never be able to connect it to kies . Just wipe cache from recovery don't wipe data.

[Q] Won't start after rooting with odin

I try to root my S3 with odin now the only thing i got when i turn it on it's a few second of Samsung image and after that it's vibrating and nothing more.
I try to reboot it with the volume button down or up and nothing too
PLz help it'a a S3 from Rogers(canada) SGH-I747M

To reboot in download mode you need to press all together : Volume down, home button and power. In clockwork mode you nee to press : Volume UP, Home button and power and them let go all when you see Samsung galaxy S3 logo with litte blue writing on left top corner.

Are you booting into recovery mode correctly ? Hold home and volume up and then hold power until it flashes...then let go

Yes the only thing happen i saw tje samsung logo for 2 secondes and the phone vibrate and the screen turn black

Since I'll assuming you flashed rooted firmware, you need to access recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in order to proceed. Which root method did you use?
Recovery mode: Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates, release only the power button

And if it doesn't work you can force it into downoad mode by holding down the power. volume down and power key without the battery and then putting in a micro usb cord plugged into the computer. Then put in the battery. Thats the hard way haha
Or get into recovery and clear all cache and factory reset.

Which Odin did you use?
I've been using the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822308 and never had issues.
Gotta make sure you download the one for Rogers.

So you successfully got it into download mode and flashed the stock rooted rom with no issues?
If so then you need to wipe data from and cache in order to eliminate the bootloop.
Again, recovery is: Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates, release only the power button

Help getting into recovery

I installed Mahdi ROM after being at CM 11 and I wanted to go back to CM 11.
I did a full wipe and restored using a NANDROID backup and the device won't boot up.
I tried some key combinations and Adb fastboot recovery but couldn't manage to get it into recovery, how do I do that? thanks
EDIT:ADB worked. Please close thread or delete it
EDIT 2: ADB Doesn't work now!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
EDIT 3: Nevermind, got it!
for anyone who is in the same sitation like me:
hold power + volume down key until the backlight goes off (after failed boot)
then:
hold power + volume down until the LG logo appears
release power key (DO NOT release volume down)!
then press the power key + volume up key so you're holding all three buttons. a factory reset screen should come up. press power twice (maybe 3 times? dont remember) and then you should have recovery

I don't get recovery....I get a factory reset. I am not sure if this is just deleting all data or is it really resetting the whole device to factory new?

Press yes and it gets you to TWRP or CWM, not factory reset. It is confusing

If I press the power button twice it wipes the tablet, I tried pressing it once and the tablet just restarted?
Can someone please tell me if I do a factory reset here does it even delete the TWRP? I want to send the tablet back. It was rooted and now it's not but I want to make sure that this factory reset takes it all the way back to stock.
I tried the LGMLauncher but after downloading and unpacking the software it stops and tells me it can't connect to the server?

Tried the LG tool?

I did try the LG tool. It downloads the software and then unpacks it and then stops saying the there is no connection to the server. That's as far as it will go. I installed the LG drives but this has happened 4 times with no difference. I know some people are using this tool but it just won't work for me?

Can you try a different computer? It seems to be the only way to come back to perfect stock condition
