Hi, I have an LG Optimus G Pro F240s that needs sign in info after many wrong screen lock pattern attempts. I've tried to re flash the phone using LG Flash tool with .kdz file but after finish flashing it's still in the same locked state. How to hard reset this phone please?
can anyone help? anyone? I really need the help..thanks in advace
Try the power button and volume down combinacion
Or only the volume down pressed on turning on your device
Are some button combinacion which may help factory reset your phone

Solution found and solved...
Press and hold volume down + Home + Power until black screen that says Factory Reset shows.
Then press power button 3 times to reset the phone. I did this many times before but it didn't work that's why I posted for help but for some reason this time it works..Maybe all 3 buttons need to be pressed at precise the same time..I don't know, but it works.. Hope it helps others...Thanks

What happens if you hold down the volume button while booting your device?
will try it here....holding the volume down? pls reply asap....thanx for helping
its not really reacting with any button once it get stucked to HTC logo
yea, to boot into the bootloader.
If you hold down the "volume button down" while booting your device it must show the colored screen within a second. Just hold down the "volume down" while pressing the reset button on the back. Keep holding the "volume down" till you see the colored screen.
tell me how please...i will have to remove the battery and put it back in...then it will still charge.....anyway...the only way i can start there is to press the power button and it will start up....but it will get stuck in HTC logo....when do i start going to bootloader in there....pls help...
Have you not tried a hard reset yet?
If that still does not work the flash a new ROM - while connected via bootloader ( only way )
i can still go to bootloader here sir....thanks for staying with me.....then what should i do next

Remove the battery, place the battery, hold down the "volume down" button, start your device ( while still holding the "volume down" button ).
Try a hard reset first as mentioned above:
Hold down the "volume down" button + the round button on the front, then reset your device while still holding those two buttons.

Download a ROM and flash it while the device is still in that mode.

1. restart the phone (with the pen in the small red button at the pen hole)
2. immediately after you have restarted, hold down the volume down button.
3. now you should be in three color bootloadermode.
4. connect your usb cable (after that you will see USB at the white color part)
5. start your custom ruu to flash your new rom.
good luck
edit..
aaaa u solved it while i was writting
great.
To hard reset -
reset your device with the stylus the before anything appears on the screen hold down the Vol down key and the centre button - follow the instructions - but don't use the volume down option unless you want to format you internal memory too.
have you tried to reflash rom? another rom possibly?
trying to do hard reset again...and this time it applies....dont know why it's not reacting awhile ago....

hello to everybody, i'm new here
i just wanted to unlock my universal. i read the instructions in the readme of the downloaded file from here (Source) carefully and wanted to enter the bootloader.
but after i press the power, light and reset button simultaneously like here: Image ...it just restarts (like i only press the reset key).... --> no bootloader apers
anybody knows the reason why it doesn't start the bootloader? thank u for helping
hi, welcome to forum. sometimes can be tricky. but if you hold the buttons then press reset and continue holding for a couple more seconds then it should load the bootloader. hope this helps
thank u for ur quick answer!
i'm holding power and light button simultaneously and then i push the reset button. it seems to be not working.. like it ignors that i'm pressing the other buttons...?
hi, tried with mine. if i hold the light and power and when i press reset and hold it also it enters bootloader. if this doesnt work sorry maybe a more experienced user can enlighten us.
solved the prob
power is working. reset is working. if you press the light and backlight settings come up then thats working depending on your rom. not sure what your issue is if they all work.
ok solved the problem with a trick. now everything is working. thank you for ur help!
Hi guys,
I have an E973 (Canadian version) and recently it got bricked. So I decided to restore to stock using KDZ files. Thing is, once the KDZ process ended I was stuck on a boot loop so I used wipe.bat but everytime I use that file, I end up with this screen.
I can still get in Download mode and Recovery though. If I turn the phone off, it will just restart and get stuck on the LG logo again.. i've tried doing the whole process again and again but it's not working..
HELP PLEASE. (((
Thanks!
After KDZ do a factory reset

how can I do a factory reset when I can't access to the phone itself? Can you please tell me the steps? I can only get in Download and recovery mod. Thanks!
Press and hold Volume Down Key + Power/Lock Key at the same time isn't doing anything..

Correct way is
Both volume keys pressed' than press power
You will get a fastboot kinda screen
Now press volume down twice
Now press power
USB cable should be un plugged
Also if this doesn't work, go to download mode and flash kdz again.

So, as you said, I turned off the phone, pressed on both volume keys THEN power button and it's not doing anything.. I've tried to flash Kdz multiple times before posting this topic.. I really don't know what to do..
When KDZ-ing, patience is a virtue.

Try just Volume Down and Power, not both volume keys. Or just google Optimus G hard reset.

Here is the tutorial for hard reset! Good luck!:good:
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

Guys, how do you factory reset your F500 with buttons, from recovery? After update to Nougat even LG method do not work. It says to press volume up and power firstly which I've never read such method before
I only managed F500 either to show IMEI info or simply boot to home screen, can't factory reset
From off it should be hold vol- & power. When LG screen comes up, let go of power for 1 second and press again (keeping vol- pressed whole time). Keep these held and you should get to factory reset option. then use vol+ & vol- to move up and down and power to select.
What device model do you have?
