IMPORTANT :THIS METHOD IS FACTORY RESET,DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE DATA. GO TO CUSTOMER SERVICE FIRST.
I purchased new Realme x7 and I deleted many Bloatware and Today I received the Software update, as soon as I update it, My phone stuck at wallpaper and it was keep blinking, I tried Hard Restart but didn't fix, now the tricky part is the only way was factory reset but the problem was there is no option for Hard Power off because for factory reset you need to power off first, but There is only hard restart way not power off, so I was stuck at wallpaper and somehow I pressed Power button twice and it lead me to emergency dialer, Now at that point I turned on Flash from there plus turned on beep sound and Drain the battery completely. And then I did the factory reset.
Steps :
1. Go to your wallpaper scene
2. Press Power off button twice
3. It will lead to emergency dialer, now turn on flash and beep sound and Just put your phone away , let it drain the battery
4. After it powers off
5. Connect it to Charger
6. Press volume down + Power button
7. Wipe data off
8. It will restart your phone
9. Be patient, Phone will start from Realme logo under 10 minutes

Here's the problem with my HTC HD7, I have used it for sometime and today I did a reset going to settings->about->reset. The phone came back straight to the home(tiles) screen without starting through the Windows setup screens. It then restarted by itself and after that it is pulling back all of my old contacts, old messages & mails. I also did a factory reset using the Volume Up/down & power buttons but the same story.
Anyone think of what's going on? do you think the internal memory corruption or something?
thanks in advance,
TZ
could try this......
Resetting using the hardware buttons
You can also use the buttons to perform a hard reset. This comes in handy if the screen is frozen and you can’t access the phone.
1. Turn the phone off. If it’s frozen or unresponsive, pull then replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and power the phone back on.
3. Continue to hold Volume Up and Volume Down until a factory reset screen appears.
Help please, was using phone, downloaded facebook, stopped and i now get the message....(.the application callendar storage has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again....force close.) i press force close, but after 10 seconds the message appears again, i am just going round in circles, cannot get to settings to do a factory reset, taking battery out does not make any diff, soon as i reboot it starts again...help please
get into recovery mode.
turn phone off. press and hold home button + power button + volume up key. when the samsung logo appears wait a few seconds and release the power button (or the phone will just reset)
once in recovery mode use the vol. keys to get to factory reset/wipe and use home button to confirm.
Here's a quick reference for how to reboot and reset your 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T510/T515) using the hardware buttons:
Force restart:
- If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the Volume Down + Power keys simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it.
Boot to Recovery Mode:
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the Volume Up + Power keys at the same time.
- Release both keys when you see Recovery Mode.
Boot to Download Mode:
- Disconnect the USB cable
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the Volume Down + Volume Up keys
- Insert the USB cable
Boot to Safe Mode:
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the Power key.
- When the boot logo appears, release the Power key and then press and hold the Volume Down key.
- Continue to hold the Volume Down key until the device finishes restarting.
- Safe Mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Since there is no Bixby button, these combinations are different than the Galaxy S10. If you know of additional combinations, please contribute to the discussion below and I'll consolidate here.
If there’s no response on your device or you're stuck in a boot loop, then you might need to wait for the battery to drain. The 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 has a non-removable battery pack, so disconnecting that isn't an option. Hopefully, the system reverts to its normal function with a cold boot. This can take time if the battery has high charge left at time of failure. Depending on how fast your battery drains, this can mean waiting for a few hours to several days.
UPDATE: With the right timing, you can break out of a boot loop into Download Mode...but it's tricky:
Insert USB Type C cable connected to your PC
Press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys for exactly 7 seconds (hard reset)
Release the Power key and press and hold both Volume Up & Down keys (enter Download Mode)
If you don't see the blue bootloader unlock warning screen, keep repeating the above two steps
The trick here is that you're trying to time your switch to the Download Mode keys for the exact moment the hard reset takes effect. If you see the boot logo while still holding the first key combination, it's too late. If you switch too early, you won't trigger the hard reset.
I've had to hold down both volume up and volume down while plugging in usb to get the unlock screen to populate. Canadian Wifi variant.

Thanks, that was an error in my initial post. I was figuring these out by trial and error, but it turns out that our hard resets are basically the same as for the Galaxy M30, which also uses the Exynos 7904 SoC and has no Bixby key.

UPDATE: Also the same as for the Galaxy A30 and some others.

Yes, I did the same way
US version
1. Enable OEM Unlock
2. Turn the tablet off and unplug the cable
3. Press and hold both volume up and volume down buttons and plug USB cable to host computer
4. You will get wipe screen. Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader.
Now I have to find matching ROM and patch the boot.img and flash.
I believe you have to disable Vault Keeper to keep root intact.
Brand new out the box 11am this morning.
Opened the parcel cool no damage. Powered up fine, had a mess with it, no problems check the speakers were fine and no issues plugged it on charge to 100% took it off and left it for an hour or so, went back to it and physically used it to use Facebook and play candy crush cool no problems. Took a few photos and no problems again. Put it on the side still on near 90% and went back to it 30 minutes later completely off and won’t turn back on, tried charging it nothing no sign of life, tried rebooting it and still nothing. Please tell me that this is not the end and I need to get a replacement... ?*

Have you tried getting into download mode? Or recovery for that matter.

I’ve not even been able to get it back on, I’ve attemp a reboot countless of times and still nothing rectifys it. I spoke with Samsung they feel it’s a major fault with the tablet and have told me to request a replacement from my provider or even a refund.
Forgot pattern password, unable to power 510 Tab A off since pattern password is required. How to wipe tab or reset to factory without powering off?

Hi! i bought the new rog phone 2 today and can't get it to boot. After transfering apps and data from my old Note 8, i'm stuck in the screen of asus data transfer!
Pressing the power button brings up the shutdown, reboot options but pressing the screen doesn't do nothing (its like the screen is over layed) and forcing a reboot with VOL up and power doesn't make it reboot!
Any ideas?
Tried connecting to my computer but fastboot doesn't detect the phone (wanted to use fastboot reboot but no avail).
Any ideas are welcome
The only idea that comes to my mind is getting it to turn off by draining the battery and forcing it back up.
****ing bugged software..
Was able to force reboot it (wasn't pressing both buttons for enough time for some reason lol).
Thanks anyway people
Hi, as of this morning (July 10, 2021) i received an OTA update notification and obviously proceeded with it. Well, after finishing and rebooting the phone screen would turn on and off a few times in a second and i couldn't use the lockscreen at all. Calls and alarms still worked tho.
After a quick search i saw someone suggesting to format data, so i proceeded to do just that, after almost finishing at the last stage (like 1% remaning) it prompted an error and turned off.
What i can do and what i can see:
-Pressing Power Button
-Screen turns on with Realme white logo and powered by android underneath
-after a few seconds phone vibrates turns the screen off and on and the realme logo is back again
-after a few more seconds the screen goes totally white and doesn't turn off
-pressing any button once doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume - doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume + for 10 seconds turns off the phone
-Pressing and holding Power Button and Volume -
-Screen turns on with Realme white logo and powered by android underneath
-after a few more seconds the screen goes totally white and doesn't turn off
-pressing any button once doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume - doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume + for 10 seconds turns off the phone
-Pressing and holding Power Button and Volume +
-Screen turns on with Realme white logo and powered by android underneath
-after a few seconds phone vibrates turns the screen off and on and the realme logo is back again (2 times)
-after a few more seconds the screen goes totally white and doesn't turn off
-pressing any button once doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume - doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume + for 10 seconds turns off the phone
-Connecting to a charger (via USB to the PC)
-Screen turns on with the spark logo and a circle aroung it
-after a few seconds phone vibrates and the realme logo is back again
-after a few more seconds the screen goes totally white and doesn't turn off
-pressing any button once doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume - doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume + for 10 seconds turns off the screen then it flickers for an instant to white and then turns off
-in this state the phone can't be turned on again, i have to disconnect the cable and then press Power Button and Volume + for more than 10 seconds to turn it on
Obviously the phone is not recognized by ADB
Hello I have the same issue. After applying the Android 11 update, my phone was locked and flickering with a lock icon. I rebooted into recovery and did a wipe and format. I got an error message format failed. Now the phone restarts and falls to boot into recovery. I have a white screen.
I have tried to use ADB to to boot into fast boot mode but I get an "unrecognised device" message. I have tried installing ADB USB delivers to no avail.
Would appreciate getting my phone up and running again.
Many thanks!
Irshad
I've exactly the same problem after applying rmx1931ex_11_f.11-Update (Android 11). First flickering screen and after wipe a white screen in place of recovery.
I was trying to contact the realme-support via email without answer.
On ebay is somebody who offers an unbrick service which if already contacted, but he needs remote access to my computer.
Did you have some progress on your phones?
regards windigo
Hi Windigo,
No luck mate I have sent multiple emails to Realme and have not heard back. Please let me know if you are successful and I will have my phone done as well.
Thanks!

At the end I got my phone unbricked with the help of that ebay-guy and a remote-session on my laptop - check article 402661557038. Sadly they made it more expensive now.
But I will try to explain it, what he did and found also a good explanation in 4pda which I will translate into english.
see https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=986690&st=3240#entry103410894
1. Download the files from google-drive, which are hidden in the 4pda-post spoiler "Ссылка". You will need everything except the excel-sheet
2. save everything in one folder
3. install the qualcom-driver for edl-mode.
4. next start the program auth-flash and push the button "register", after that push login. buy 1 credit via the program.
with credentials you can also login at http://auth-flash.com/ - at this website are also contacts to buy this one credit (minimum 7$)
=> this step has done the ebay-guy for me. so I can't help here
5. after charging this one credit on your auth-flash-account you have to open the msm download tool from google drive and enter the credentials (region non-europe)
6. unpack RMX1931EX_11_C.32_200918_1cb40e2f.zip and choose the included ofp-file from msm download tools
7. connect a usb cable to your computer
8. your smartphone has to be switched off
9. hold volume up & down pressed and plug in the usb cable in your smartphone. this will boot up your phone in edl-mode. the screen from the phone keeps black
in the windows device manager you should see under ports something like "qdl 8000"
10. press refresh in msm download tool and you should see an entry in the list like "COM3 connected"
11. then start the flash by pushing the start-button
12. after the flash in edl mode is finiahed your phone should start up normally.
I had to switch once more into bootloader mode an wipe all data, because otherwise I couldn't switch on wifi in android
13. after that I upgraded via ota to android 11, made once again a factory reset in bootloader and started to restore my apps,...
So the tricky part in my opinion is to get that 1 credit. But I don't know really how it works. The guy in 4pad paid it via paypal.
The auth-flash- and msm download-program can only be started as admin and with deactivated virus scanner. For sure there are virus inside so made a full scan after you finished this procedure.
Seems hella sketchy... Btw I contacted Amazon and after some checks that the device was indeed not working they offered me a full refund!
Went to buy a new phone after that and had a few possibilities: OP9, ZenFone 8, Realme GT...
But after this sh*t happened with an official OTA update I literally noped it from the list... Went with Z8.
Good luck to you guys.

Hi Windigo,
I appreciate you sharing the methodology you used to unbrick your phone. I am unable to locate the files that are required for download or the MSM download tool. The instructions are quite difficult to follow.
Thanks,
