Go ahead and soft reset your device however this time when doing so hold the volume up and down together and then following instructions.
Hope this helped...
Couple methods of hard resetting:
Turn off device
Hold the volume down & volume up button while you press the power on button.
You should be presented with white screen and text. Press vol up to restore factory settings (i.e. hard reset)
Alternatively,
Go to Start > settings > system > clear storage (may be called 'wipe device' on some roms)
Generally once I flash a rom, before it automatically configures device I remove battery and do a hard reset
Hi Everyone,
Of course - it had to happen to me, one in a million; with the power button dead on my htc touch hd, is there any other way to do a hard reset, particularly when upgrading roms? As instructions are very precise to ensure you do a hard reset after flashing.
For me, the volume buttons combined with the top power button method don't work. - And unfortunetly, the unit is out of warranty.
Appreciate any suggestions, or any other methods possibly in trying to hard reset for flashing? Guess I'll give anything a go... 8)
thanks in advance.
Woz.
Clear Storage.
Use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
This is a hard reset via software.
~thank-you~ wasn't sure if this was an acceptable method for flashing, but new rom is now working well.
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
Just purchased a galaxy tab on ebay and when i got it, it came attached with the previous owners google account.
No matter what i try, "factory data reset", "remove all applications and try to remove google account" nothing works?
even factory data resets will come back with his account installed?
is there anything i can do to remove his account and add mine?
Thanks.
Go to settings - accounts and sync, click the account and select remove account.

Yes I've tried this it says
"This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy."
so i tried deleteting all the market apps and still no go. I must have factory reseted like 25 times already and as soon as it starts up the account is preloaded.
I have reformatted my sdcard, even tried removing the sdcard completely while i factory reset.
nothing is working is there any thing im missing?
Best bet is switch ot off. Hold the up key whilst pressing the power button which will take u into the recovery menu.
Select factory reset on there. That will set it as from the factory for sure!

Well maybe this?

Or a hard reset this way:
Reset Galaxy Tab with Hardware Keys
If Android OS is not loading then you can hard reset Galaxy Tab using hardware Keys combination.
Make sure tab is turned off, Press and hold the Power button for about 10 seconds to turn it off.
Press and hold the “Volume Up” and “Power” buttons at the same time, when logo appears on the screen release the “Power” button and continue press the “Volume” button
When recovery screen appears use “Volume Up/Down” buttons to navigate and select “wipe data / Factory reset” by pressing the “Home” or “Power” button

Well, then i dont know how to be helpfull further. the only thing i wouldt do in youre case, is flash a rom?!
The RotoJMIv2 is a nice one. If you flash it with Odin and use the pit-file as wel, youre phone will be reformatted and i suppose the phone is then completly clean.
Ok I contacted Samsung technical support when I was having a similar problem and they instructed me to power the tab down and once off, press and hold BOTH volume buttons at the same time and press and hold the power button and continue through the menus, if this does not work you can contact Samsung personally if you like the number is: 1-888-987-4357

Don't know if you've fixed it yet or tried this, but adding a new account should allow you to remove it.
Was there ever a resolution to this problem? My 'refurbished' tab is doing the exact same thing.
I've flashed it using Odin with both the original EA24 and rooted gingerbread ROMs mentioned in this thead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133053&highlight=reinstall+applications+flash+gingerbread
No effect. The Tab 'works' after being flashed, but still has the same problem.
I've factory reset it both through the settings menus and also on the recovery boot screen.
Still, the previous account persists.
It will also not remember any changes I make to it after a reboot. No wifi networks are remembered, no applications I install remain. It behaves the exact same way on both EA24 and gingerbread.
Is this a hardware problem of some kind?
Hi,
I used Clockwork Mod's Clear Data / Factory Reset option and now Android prompts me for a password whenever I boot it up. Repeatedly trying the password only results in a 30 second delay. I've tried following the instructions for unrooting, but they had no effect.
Could someone tell me how to remove the password? I have adb access, if it helps.
Shut down your transformer.
Then press Power + volume down until you see some white words on top left corner , then press Volume Down and Wipe.
It´s the only way i could find.
That happened to me when upgrading from stock rom to prime 1.5 and now from Revolver to prime 1.6
Couldn't do that because I had CMW installed. Finally managed to get it working (surprisingly easily) by following these instructions: http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?1071-Asus-Transformer-NVFlash-Stock-3.1-Recovery-Roms&
Ok so im running custom Paranoid cyanogenmod android rom v1.5 and i need to hard reset all information in my phone.
I've tried doing the both volume buttons and power button to hard reset,but that didnt work,even my messages stayed.
I've tried doing factory reset in option,didn't work either.
When im entering aMAGDLR V1.13 recovery( pressing power button til i enter boot menu) there is an option for AD hard reset or just reset and i think they might work, but the key problem to this is that my calling button isnt working and i just cant choose anything in the boot menu..Any ideas if i could hard reset with pc or in any other way?
Have you tried resetting from within android?
System settings > Privacy (I think) > Factory Reset **BE CAREFUL, this might format your sdcard, I'm not sure. So either keep the card out (If you're not doing a2sd or similar stuff, or back it up**
Also, for the device hard reset, it's volume UP only.. But I think it was part of windows mobile ROMs so it might not work with MAGLDR.
Another option for you to try is to reflash MAGLDR. That might erase your stuff, but I don't know how you'll put CWM back since your CALL key is not working.
Sorry, I don't have the HD2 anymore and I'm kind of rusty.. Hope the above helps
