Can't get the dang factory reset to work....

---

Once I activate it, it just spins and spins and won't reset.

I'm having trouble getting android market to work and was advised to reset the tab.

Now what can I do to fix the danf thing?

Therefore I have to understand what you really did. What do you mean with "activate"? Have to set-off the fast-boot? Have you first reset and enter the boot-loader? What really happens and where?

I think the op is trying to factory reset the flyer and the busy indicator just spins./freeze. I also experienced this and had to reset the flyer. The market was acting up then I works fine 2-3 days later.

I had market issues as well and a factory reset and formatting of all the storage worked for me. Takes a bit for everything to settle. How long has it been spinning/did it spin?

Use the Bootloader to reset

If you aren't trying this from the bootloader you should try that, you will need to disable Fast Boot under the Power menu in your settings. Turn the tablet all the way off, and then power it back up by holding Vol - and Power at the same time until you get the BugDroid's skating across the bottom screen, you use Vol +/- to navigate and Power to select, one option should be a factory reset.

IF you are already trying it this way, I dunno what else you would do other than placing a factory ROM zip and having the bootloader flash it!

Thanks everyone for the advice... I'm going to try and get to the bootloader.

my flyer doesn't even HAVE a factory reset button under privacy. Yeah I know its weird. I'm starting to suspect I bought some skinned version of the flyer.

But the power off, volume down and power button worked for me though. I still didn't seem to fix the problem even after factory reset, I don't know what kind of flyer I got. I believe its UK version.
