Lenovo One Key Restore button Bypass
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2015
- I had a problem where my Lenovo v570's one key recovery button would no longer boot into the recovery partition, and being windows was unbootable, I had to search for another solution to boot the recovery partition. Fortunately the Hirens boot CD had the tool necessary to get it going again.

I have been roaming around forums for around five days, did try everything in my mind including hiren. But I didn't know about the PooP thing. Still I failed to do the recovery until I popped on your vid.. thanks a lot mate
Steve, I really appreciate you making a video of this to help out others. I upgraded to windows 10 and had issues with it. I decided to revert back to Windows 7 and keyboard quit responding. I was struck on the log in screen. One key recovery button was only turning the laptop off/on. There was not much info on the web, specific for Lenovo One Key recovery issue. Boot CD is new concept to me. I couldn't have figured it out without the help of your video. Also saved about 75-100 bucks by avoiding the need to go to local computer repair guy. Thank You once again!! Prashanth...
+G Prashanth Your Welcome, I'm glad it helped.
Thank you so much Steve. People like you make the world a better place!
thanks for putting this out here! I had the same troubles with a friend's G570. This did the trick! Appreciate you putting out this video!
Thanks for putting this together! I needed to restore a Lenovo V570 but the One Key button wasn't working just like you describe. It would only power up the machine. Using the Hiren's CD worked perfectly! Thanks!
Awesome!
I tried a billion different complicated things and ended up hitting roadblocks every time with my Lenovo IdeaCentre. This was ridiculously easy and worked. Thank you!!!
+Diji Peross I'm glad it helped you out. I was in the same boat as you, I was surprised that something so simple wasn't prevalent with a google search. Until now anyways lol
Thanks a lot. I am a computer tech and this is the first time this happened on this model. Good post!! It worked just as you described.
Hi there, I stumbled upon this video and I am thrilled to report that this worked for me. One thing I had to do differently was to boot from the disk1 partition4 rather than the PLOP option. When I used the PLop option, it would load the leaf page, but not the one key restore interface. I have never heard of Hirens bootcd and I think it is GREAT. Thank you for sharing.
+Eve Leonard I'm glad it helped you, I agree that the Hirens CD was an awesome find.
THANK YOU THANK YOU AND A MILLION THANK YOU!!!!! you cant imagine how much time i spent researching for a solution to go back to my initial windows after upgrading to win 10.... big thanks man
Anas Abu Asabeh Thank you I’m glad my video helped you out :)
Thanks man, you saved my day! :) I've tried quite a bit, but nothing worked - untill the old school CD with Hirens boot! Thx
You are AWESOME! I was going to smash it with a sledge hammer, I think it was upgrading to Windows 10. Lenovo wanted $70 for the disk. Your idea worked perfectly, not only does it boot, but I have Windows 7 back!
Man you are a GOD SEND! No joke i have been trying to get back from windows 10 and nothing has work this one finally did thank you!
+Brandon Harner Your welcome.
Same here. Thanks Steve
where to get the cd?
very great!! it is the most convenient and complete solution to the "lenovo one key recovery failure" problem
Steve Stoltz, you are the man! It works. My hard drive crashed and I was able to clone the recovery partitions from the old hard drive to a new hard drive then mounted it to the laptop but would not start the recovery utilities; then your video came along. An standing ovation for you. Thank you.

Man, from your voice I understand you've been through a lot of difficult sleepless nights. Your short video saved me such nights.
Sharing of important information - probably saved many people a headache.
I thank you for it!
I If one day I ran into a serious problem and find a solution to the problem, I'll share the solution. So this way everyone's life would be easier.
Thanks, I have had a few of those lol
In addition, you said that you were not able to solve the problem that restore button is not working and that this is no longer a problem because you know how to get recovery software. I agree .. it is not a problem anymore.
But I have an idea how to avoid the need for using disk or USB stik to get to the recovey screen/ -
You can use EasyBCD. With this software you can add Hiren's.BootCD.15.2.iso. To the boot menu!
save the iso on some area on the PC but not in the C partition (where windows is installed!)
and just add the iso file to the boot menu
Excellent solution, you just saved me hours on hold trying to purchase the recovery DVD's from Lenovo ( HORRIBLE SUPPORT )
Thanks for the info on Hyrens Boot DVD info.
I'm glad it helped you out.
You are a LIFE SAVER! Really. Thank you for this.
This worked exACTly as demonstrated. Much thanks!!!
Awesome, Your welcome.
Thank you! It worked perfectly...and saved me throwing the computer out of the window.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! this work like a charm!
It worked with my Lenovo S10-3. I used Smart Boot Maganer instead of PLoP Boot Manager though. For some reason, PLoP was not working. Thank you, Steve!
+Joel J. Lorenzatti me too. Z570. repartitioned hard drive. and Smart boot Manager worked. (if you press tab button, there were an option to boot certain partition)
Maraming Salamat(Thank you)!!! This helped me alot! :D
Worked like a charm, Thanks!
thanks that fixed it!!! your awesome!!
Thank you!! Its working for me!!
Worked for me. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.... after serveral attempts to recover from broken win 10. Found this video. it worked well. back to win 7. no idea of upgrading. phew :)
i found ( on my Y510P) that if i pressed the recovery key it would act like the power button but if i press and hold for a while one key recovery comes up. Might work on this model as well . Worth a try i guess
Good luck
Thanks for that, saved me a whole lot of time :)
Your Welcome.
Worked, You are an angel :D
I used YUMI to "burn" the Hirens boot cd iso onto a 2 GB flash drive. A system selection way down the list past linux was Hirens. I put flash drive in,, started Lenovo V570 laptop, pushed F12 to access boot select and chose flash drive to boot. Worked just like Steve described with a DVD copy. Other software for making bootable flash drives should also work.
Big thanks. you just helped me with a windows 10 broken recovery option. I'm back to win 7 and not upgrading. :)
how did you do this? Anyone please tell me. Do I have to burn a Hiren boot CD ? I hate Windows 10 so much and the Novo reset button only turns the computer on and off, doesn't give me the reset option
@@sadkeannu It's been a while but i think I found the recovery partition using hiren and just let the one touch do its thing. hope you get this message.
@@jamesarchuleta1137 Thanks a lot, I actually got hiren's boot cd to work by putting it on a bootable usb. The one key recovery had been removed though - there was no partition for it, so I installed windows 7 clean and uploaded a backup file for all my movies and photos
Thanks a lot for your help!
cool deal thanks a lot you helped us out
does this method with the lenovo ideapad 700 that was released in 2016
Dude...you rock. Thanks. How easy was that.
THANK YOU ! Legend !
Hey great video.. In my case I used the 'Smart boot manager' and just like u I booted with the partition 4.. For some people who might not get the recovery option immediately and only the green wallpaper.. please be patient cause in my case it took sometime before the onekey recovery options appeared.. Thanks & God Bless!! :)
I had to do the same. Plop didnt work for me and I had tried everything before using Hirens. I tried Smart boot and all of them and saw option 4 and success!!!!
thank you my friends!!
Thanks Man! You're Awesome! Great great help.
Muzamil Bin Khurshid Thanks!
Thanks Steve!
Thank You so much!
You are awesome. Thank you.
This video helped me so much thanks
Cool, I'm glad it helped.
Buen consejo, funciona a la perfección! Gracias !!! // Nice advace ! it works perfect! thanks!
pero como ases el primer paso
Thank you for this information
Explain in brief plz anyone
My reset button wouldn't work. Noticed my laptop battery wasn't locked into the laptop though it would still turn on when I hit the power button. So I pulled out the battery, cleaned it off, put it back and locked it and my reset button worked. Worth a shot if you haven't checked. Worked for me.
Thanks for the tip.

Nugs nugs You may need to talk with a professional and get some stuff worked out then.
Man, I wanna pay you a beer. Cheers to you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tip, I was working on a client's lenovo and had the exact same problem.
Used an Ultimate Boot CD I had in my room, which is the same as hirens boot cd.
Again, thank you :)
i have already repartitioned c and fixed the novo recovery it wasn't booting it gives me a message novo recovery button has been destroyed
i fixed this issue and managed to boot again and intsall factory image
but after i formatted the c using windows 10 disc i can't boot into novo recovery mode at all but all recovery partitions are untouched healthy
it gives me options and choices if i wanna continue to windows 10 or shut down or boot from cd
Thank u so much works i cant get that button to work either burned that cd right away in case i got to do a reformat
+Jackie Cody (Eviljetty) Your welcome, Those system restore cd's are like gold lol.
Grt sir very helpful
What to do man explain in brief
I've not tried it, but it should work.
thanks man
This worked for me on my x220, but only when I use the plop option from an external usb drive. I can only get the machine to boot into windows by running the plop program all the time. Once I try to boot directly from the HDD which still has the Recovery and lenovo factory recovery partition, I get the same boot manager \windows\system32\winload.exe error screen.
Hi Steve...WOW....thanks so much for your response. THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE in the world. You had used the Hinrens Boot CD in your video. Is there any particular version of the ImgBurn or Imgwriter? Also, where did you get the Hirens Boot? THANKS Wayne Rossignol
+Wayne Rossignol Your Welcome. There is a link to the Hirens disk in the description, any of the burning programs should work regardless of version.
This method at least got me to the green recovery screen but unfortunately the recovery pop-up that you get to start the process does not launch for me. Do you think the file may be missing?
Thank you very much...
+ilker aydin Your welcome :)
Hello this sounds great. I also have a Lenovo V570. Using Windows 7 home premium. How or where do the burn or use a stick for the Hirens Boot CD? Thanks in advance.
+Wayne Rossignol There are several programs out there, ImgBurn and Imgwriter are two programs that come to mind. Most burning software has the ability to burn ISO files.
well i downloaded the files it asking me browse through my files on os or folder which i did nothing happened i done in safe mode since I could get on the normal screen
Can you please help.
I tried with a bootable usb but after booting from it a new operation system (win 10) opens up instead of poop menu.
does it work on lenovo y510p?
Hi it works to the point it brings up the leaf background and then a command prompt then just sits there what do you recommend is there a command line I can enter?
+DarkXenome It sounds like the hard drive may have some corrupt sectors. the Hirens cd has some hard drive checking utility's that may recover the drive enough to allow you to boot into recovery and get past that point. If you do successfully get the drive to factory condition make sure to make the recovery dvds with the lenovo utility, so when the drive finally goes south your not up a creek without a paddle. Hope this helps.
3:10 steve, when you do this, does it reinstall windows back to factory settings (day 1 when you turned on your laptop) and all your data gets deleted?
Yes
@@SteveStoltz thank u!
For me works fine,but i have incorrect structure,need new partition and backup.wsi
Can i use this iso on pendrive by making it bootable by using rufus instead of cd rom bcoz my cd reader is not working?
Yes it is possible, I have a thumb drive with it installed. I don't remember how I did it but rufus should work.
Hello my friend I
clicked on System recovery and a window appeared to me. I clicked on
Yes .. so it became my computer I bought it recently .. I lost all files
.. Is there a solution to restore it? Thank you in advance
Should i shut down the laptop or reboot?
using one key recovery it will be format total harddisk or c: drive only?
+vinod kumar kosana did you find out? I have the same question..
ya..its format only c drive..
Thank you very much! I have all my music in partition E and I just want to restore the OS on C because of malware and other junk. (D drive is DVD RW and recovery partition is hidden,so I created E for DATA) :D
Anyways, do you burn the installer of the hirensboot cd to the cd then insert it to the laptop?
The download is an ISO image, you burn the image to CD and boot to it, you can also use a flash drive but the process is a little more involved.
does this bypass the password too?
Hi, After I upgrade to the free win 10 OS my Lenovo ideacentre K410 no longer works the OneKey Recovery 7.0 features. Show me the following notice: The program cannot find the initial backup image. This function is currently unavailable. But when you use Diskpart.exe you can see the oem "recovery Partitio" of 25 Gb. I install the minitool partition wizard free version and show me that "lenovo_part" 25Gb capacity and 11.70 Gb used is there. Originally that PC comes with windows 7 home preinstalled and now if I want to recover to the initial oem state, I cann't cause the OKR function not works. If I use the hirens cd and everything works like the video, then the OKR button function can works when the pc state is in initial oem? Any hints or comments to fix that partition will be appreciate. Thanks a lot Steve for the video.
In my case, after recovering using this method the one-key button still didn't work to enter into recovery. I'm not sure what happened to the partition structure or computer itself to cause the recovery button to break. This may not be the case on all systems though.
Ok, thanks for your help.
Do u have Windows 7 and OKR 7.0? Then you are lucky. (Might still work on different Windows, just not sure) Here is the way how to do it: and its VERY EASY- just BURN by using the "broken" OKR - FACTORY DEFAULT RECOVERY DISKS! - its very secure but might take longer time (took me total of 2 hours). OKR cannot boot from your hard drive anymore but it still works and can burn dvds of your original windows. If you have a dvd burner just use the OKR (I used version7.0), to burn the recovery dvds. It will acess the hidden partition and guide you through. It took from me 4 dvds. After that you need to make your dvd rom the first starting device in bios. The way I made it in my G780 was selecting it in boot menu in bios, selecting it by pressing enter and moving it upward so its just above the hard drive, by using f5 and f6 than saving the changes. After all is instaled reverse your actions of course. It took 1 hour to restore it from those 4 dvds.

If you cant see the above website just google: OneKey Recovery 7.0 - Creating Factory Default Recovery Disks
everyone knows BURNING DVD is one solution, but someone here don't have external DVD .... I write the hiren boot CD into usb stick and boot into the recovery SUCCESSFULLY!!!!
It did not work for me (Win 10). Did not boot on USB, though selected.
I'm stuck in onekey recovery! Help!
Where do get one of those disks?
There is a link in the description.
I have the same problem. How do I get that boot disk?

I can find factory reset for Lenovo e460 OR ANOTHER NUMBER ON LAPTOP IS JVHFC1 . PLEASE HELP
I believe pressing the F11 key during boot brings up the recovery options.
I tried all the partitions and only one works but it doesnt boot into the one key recovery menu it just goes back to the repair boot loop don't know why it is not working , will dban erase the one key recovery factory default?
+Deadskeezz Dban will wipe everything on the drive from the beginning to the end, if you've used Dban prior to this, your recovery partition is gone.
+Steve Stoltz I have not used dban , I am currently checking the hard drive for bad sectors but they seem to be fine , My novo button doesnt do a thing too.
+Deadskeezz I'm not sure whats happening in your situation, let us know if you get it figured out.
+Steve Stoltz it's pretty weird , ive run chkdsk on all the possible disks and they are all fine, I can't get sfc to work since its in recovery mode or what ever , I found the partition with the onekey recovery dir had a look inside and tried to run the setup.exe from cmd but only results in an error , I am certain i fixed the root cause from the startup repair log but now it just says it cant figure out what the cause is so its not much help at the moment, I'll keep at it and see if I can work around it.
For by passing does it delete everything from the computer????
+MiNkauj Hmoob Nothing will be deleted by just bypassing the button alone, only if you chose to restore the computer using the restore utility. If you decide you don't want to restore yet, pop out the dvd and reboot and your back where you started.
the problem seems to be the flag of the okr partition is not set as "recovery" you could fix that in windows using disk part in the console or in Linux using gparted.
bababa seems .... did you try that? I try that, using fdisk in ubuntu and change flag 12, but the method you claim was NOT WORKING
After 52% of rebooting one internal error showing. Error code 0xE0EF005D.please help me to recover this
how do i get the Hyrens boot cd
There's a link in the description.
lenovo g505 recovery button is not working and solution
Someone help me please I have Windows 8 now will it still be Windows 8 after I use the one key recovery thing?!
+Al ex It will recover to whatever OS the pc originally shipped with.
I did not work it just starts up windows
Melvin Santana same here
i updated the bios in my lenovo g580 so that i could remove the bios password. now i am stuck into bios and also the password is still there in setup option of bios. please help me
Achintyah Sorry I don’t know what to do with that situation.
Steve Stoltz i consulted the technician. they said toh flash the bios. Can i do this at home? if yes then how?
I installed the ISO and burned it to the cd but when I insert it just boots me into some kind of modified version of windows. I'm really confused at this point.
Use the arrow keys to scroll down when you get to the boot menu, it will default to the custom windows if you don't select something else.
Ok so I managed to downgrade the version of the ISO and I got it to boot up to the plop manager but unfortunately it tells me that there was no valid bootsector signature to the partition, well I guess I can’t officially factory reset my pc :( Thanks for the help anyways though.
@@victordejesus2000 Sorry to hear that :(
Guys!
We all knows that The Commodore 64 is the future! 😀 .:C=:.
The disc does not boot and I was stuck at the Lenovo screen. What did I do wrong?
It sounds like you need to check the boot sequence in the bios to be sure that the cd rom is set to boot before the hard drive
do you know how I can check that? I have v570 just like you. I have tried the repeated F1/F2 keys
It may be one of the f keys f9 thru f12 or possibly the delete key. I no longer have that laptop in my possession so I cant check for sure.
Is there a way without the CD?
I think there may be a way to install the Hyrens boot disk to a usb drive and then boot from that, I have not tried it though.
Maybe by bcdedit?
