Hi i have a Fossil q explorist 3 and im having trouble getting into recovery mode.
I uninstalled an app on the watch and its now in a weird bootloop/ unusable state it flashes the watch face and i can access google assistant but nothing else apart from the power off and reboot menu.
Because of this the battery depleted pretty quickly and i couldnt access the recovery menu, I managed to get to the menu once but hit the wrong button and it exited rather than let me reset it
Can anyone help me get the watch into recovery mode I have tried
1. Powering off the watch via the menu and trying the button combinations of top button and power ,bottom button and power , letting go of the power button and holding either button and repeatedly pressing the buttons after the vibration when it turns on.
2. I have also tried tapping on the fossil logo on the screen after it turns on and sliding from the top left to bottom right of the screen and nothing has got me back in to the recovery menu.
So does anyone know how to get in to that menu also i opened up the watch and see a few test points if that could be used i dont mind trying to solder/bodge a usb connection if that would be an option
Cheers in advance
I have posted this in wear os forum too but have had no replies hope someone in here can help.

Hi, I am having problems getting my X2 into boot mode in order to update the firmware to MR1- I've followed the instructions on SE Update Service (press and hold volume down button and power button until white screen appears)
All that happens is the vibration feedback to indicate power on, then the phone loads up as normal with the logo in a black background???? anyone else come across this?
help me X2
hi all fri
i had one sony x2 ,but have some problem !can you tell me how to enter undate mode !and X2 chinese rom! thanks
do you press and HOLD both buttons till the desired screen appears? Should not release Power button before the screen emerges..
Yes I did, It's just loads up as normal, I have the xperia x1 so I'm not new to this devices, anyone experienced this before?
Are you sure that you are doing it exactly like this:
1. Remove and re-insert battery.
2. Press AND HOLD the volume down button.
3. Press AND HOLD the power button at the same time.
Hold the two buttons (and no other buttons) until logo on white background appears.
The order is important, first the volume down button - keep pressed, then the power button - keep both pressed.
The most important thing that many people miss is...
You must NOT have the USB cable plugged in when you do this. Only plug the phone in after the white screen appears.
This is not my first xperia as I still have the x1, so I do know what I'm doing, the phone boots up as normal (sony ericsson logo with the 'black' background) unlike the x1 with the tricolor screen. Is there anyother way to enter the bootloader or reset the whole ROM? someone please help as I can't update my phone and spony ericssonwon't do anything about it because it hasn't been officially released in the UK :S
i have the same issue tryed every thing (volume down + power =nothing. volume down + power +soft reset button= nothing. look in the registry found nothing relevant to bootloader )i think bootloder got messed up or something. is there a folder or something containing the bootloder

Exactly the same problem
same here, very frustrated, need my phone back to factory settings! any1 help please???
It's important that you normally turn off the phone before getting out the battery or it will reboot normally when the battery is inserted.
X2 DEAD
I also have the same problem as my device does not turn on nor k is functioning BOOTLOADER MODE.
only once beats vibrating k after the computer sees an unknown device.
I left my phone in few mobile services, nobody did any good to it - same problem still left. Last chance will be SE service.

To get back into factory-defaults, then use the Phone reset found under Settings->System. That will re-install everything.
Hi all,
My new Nexus 7 (2013 model) arrived today, and it seems that it can only boot up through the bootloader menu, i.e. the power button does not work properly. When plugged in, the battery charging icon does appear for a few seconds before disappearing.
The problem is that holding down the power button does not turn the device on. Holding down volume down+power button works correctly and shows the bootloader menu, and from there selecting "Start" is the only way to actually boot the device. When plugged in to a power source (outlet or computer), holding down the power button causes the battery charging icon to appear, disappear, and reappear constantly. Holding down the power button when unplugged shows no response on the screen, even after holding down for a full minute. Once the device is booted, the power button works perfectly for locking, unlocking, and showing the power off menu.
I already tried doing a factory reset, which did not help at all. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Your best bet is to ask in your device's forum section as this section is for the 2012 version.

Hi !
I bought a Nexus 4 for 10 bucks from a taxi driver knowing it has this problem . I searched the whole internet and barely found some info, most of the people who got this problem just force closed it and then it worked. But with this one, it happens everytime i turn it on.
You can see the problem in the video.
Also, if i let it boot, i can change the volume and i managed to turn on the flash, so the touch is working. And the screen does the same thing if i wake it, but it's not that bright..
Can anyone help me ?
I don't know if it has root or anything, if you can at least help me with a guide to flash it without knowing anything about the software or the settings in it, i'd be really thankful!

Hi
If you can go to stock recovery i.e press an hold volume down+power button until you see bootloader.
Then press volume down key until you see recovery. Press power button to select.
Then press an hold power button and press volume up key and release all keys.
Now you are in recovery.
You can do a factory wipe.
See if that solves the problem.
Good Luck

I just bought and installed this unit in my 2010 Prius from a seller on Ali Express
I want to install a custom ROM on it but first I want to make sure I can successfully boot into recovery in case something goes horribly wrong. The seller REALLY doesn't want to share that information with me, so I was wondering if someone here might know how this is done.
If you have a reset button...
Press it (with toothpick) and hold it pressed until you see blinking the lights of buttons...then release and press it again until you see the lollipop logo. Release it and you will be on recovery menu.
You can move on different options from recovery by pressing quickly the reset button and choose an option by holding pressed the reset
if I did help you, please hit "thanks" button

So I tried that, but on my unit when you press the reset button all the light go out and stay out until the button is released. The only time I can get the lights around the buttons to flash three times is when I release the reset button and hold down the power button. But when I release the power button and hold it down again after the flashes it just repeats the three flashes again like the first time. If I release the power button at any time it just loads up like normal. If I hold it down again when the lollipop logo comes on it just goes blank and repeats the three flashes again. If I press the reset button it just resets the unit again, if I hold it down it does nothing until I let go, then it resets the unit again like normal.
The three flashes seem like they mean something but I can't figure out how to get to the next step of actually starting the recovery. I want to flash a custom rom but I am afraid to do it without the safety net of being able to get into recovery if I need to, you know?
any update
I also want to buy this unit, but I'm just not sure:
Does it connect to all the functions of the Prius 3? Camera? Microphone? Steeringwheel buttons? Other?
Or do you need extra modules? Which?
Are you enabled to edit the basic car functions from it at least?
Found the thread on google, waiting for someone custom rom it, its good, everything works excepts its buggy, sometimes camera dont work etc that is why i also want a simlle custom rom on it
Edit: solved here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...pment/mtcd-intel-sofia-units-wifi-3g-t3533154
Could you explain me how? I have same screen but I don't even get those 3 lights pushing both reset + power at same time. Thanks
Hey guys, so I have this media and my camera doesnt work, I just bought this car and when i put to reverse just yellow triangle appears, i found on google that they might be a solution in my factory settings, but I dont know the password, so do any of you know it, i would apreciate any kind of help, thanks.

Not one person ????? NOBODY has an answer?? I think we should all file a class action law suit on Fossil.
Try with adb, use it with either bluetooth or wifi and once it's connected to your pc type "adb reboot recovery"
Same issue with my fossil watch.. deleted something and its blinking since .. cn anyone help with the instructions to factory reset with buttons
Anyone successful ? I am having issue as mentioned in the original post. Please help!
