    Is there a option to somehow perform a factory reset and keep data? I have very important data on internal memory and I am stuck with android logo… When I try to go to recovery mode, all I get is the robot with red exclamation triangle, there is no menu. If I leave it like this, it will reboot after few minutes and get back to android logo problem… Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    • Ricardo Gardener Post author

      Either you are using the wrong button combo or you simply need to press and additional button combo after you see that screen such as up volume key or down. Also you will most likely loose your data, you could explore other options but this is your best bet.

    Once I tried to root my tab and a virus caught it. Then when I reebooted it , it was stuck at the logo . I followed your instructions but still it didn’t work . Please help me

    • Ricardo Gardener Post author

      Whats the model and brand of your tablet? Usually the button combination to get into the factory reset screen shown or recovery is to hold power and either volume up or down while booting, on some device its power and both volume up and down at the same time.

    Hello Ricardo. I have tried factory reset, but I am still stuck in loading. Do you have any ideas? My PC will not recognize the tablet via cable. (Tablet Nexus 7 2012)

    • Ricardo Gardener Post author

      Yes Steve, when the factory reset method fails you will have to Flash the tablets Android operating system back unto your device. If you need help drop me a comment and I will do a tutorial on your device on how its done.

      • Steve

        Please if you don’t mind. But I am little skeptic: Installed naked drivers, I have used nexus root toolkit – no success. Oh.. and “funny” thing: tablet is 15 days out of warranty 🙂

    Hi my android was working fine I dropped it an there is a slight crack in the back display screen which is not visible through the glass do you think this is the problem why it will not switch on? And another question if I remove the USB port Will it still run, or is it needed to complete the circuit please help thank you

    • Ricardo Gardener Post author

      It is possible or something may have been knocked loose when the device was dropped, you can try disassembling it and checking the connections. For the second question I am not sure what you mean by remove the USB port, if you are talking about flashing the device or in any other case you should never remove anything until the process completes.

      Do what you love and pursue your passion. You will find it can take you to great places. Fixing gadgets for example I often find creative fixes when playing with my own gadgets and then share them with others. When someone else benefits I really feel great as I might have saved them some headache or repair cost.

    • Ricardo Gardener Post author

      I am not sure what you are saying, if you are trying a hard rest yes in some cases it should remove the lock of which you speak-unless FRP/factory reset protection kicks in in which case enter your email and password associated with your device.

    Hi Ricardo,
    Thanks for your posts & videos. I can say that I am now able to understand a lot about android devices & carry out most common fixes thanks to you.
    However, I an having a challenge with my Chinese tablet. I went for almost a year without being used & now it is refusing to turn on. At first it was even refusing to charge & would only show the battery sign. But one night I let it sleep on the charger overnight & it eventually charged. Now the challenge is; when you turn it on it just remains stuck on the android logo loop. I did get to reset it, thanks again to your instructions, but even after the factory reset it still does the same.
    Some suggestions on the internet are to flash the firmware but I cant seem to find the rom. After opening it, this is the version written on the motherboard: K107-MB-v5.0 2016-8-05.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks.
