My girlfriends phone has been running liquid smooth for a long time. Last night the battery died and when she plugged it in and turned it on it stays at the liquid smooth boot screen. It wont go any further then that. The volume up key also does not work so I don't know how to get into recovery. What should I do?

Is the volume up button broke or stuck compressed? If it is broke you could go into download mode and flash 4.1.2 so she has a working phone. If its compressed you could try the wack method to uncompress the button.

Wait you need volume up to confirm download mode never mind.

yeah, i cant get into recovery or download mode because of the vol button. I just read about usb jigs. They force it into download mode? Do you think that would work? i don't know what else could if not .

I just watched a YouTube video to see if it asks for confirmation. He used a jig marketed for the s2 on the s3 and it went straight to a flash able state (no volume confirmation). So it looks like a good option for you. I think you can buy them for under a buck and if memory serves me you can make it out of a old cable and a resistor.

i have a charger stock everything. for some reason it will not go pass the boot screen. and keeps restarting. battery is full. can anybody help me out? Can i do a hard reset or something?
If you haven't modded it at all, it might be a hardware issue.

It might be an app you downloaded, though, you could try reflashing the stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108115

how about try to boot recover mode (this will wipe all data on your phone). Hold down Volume up and home button then press and hold power button until you see recover screen (blue), select recovery and press the power button to execute. Good luck and hope it's not hardware issue.
I had the same problem yesterday , I had to reodin to stock and it worked perfectly . But Verizon is still sending me a new unit . But it will work . Goodluck

my nexus s is bootlooping and I have a broken power button. I cant get into recovery to try to do a nandroid restore. Is there anything I can do to get into recovery.
Thanks guys in advance
you can flash a new rom with fastboot.
but 1st you need your kindle to shutdown.
you may after wait for battery to drain.
you need it to boot up yellow triangle screen.

my phone doesn't respond at all in fastboot and volume rocker doesn't work at all. I tried tapping or smacking near the power button for a long time and still nothing.

if you dont get any response from your volume buttons, you can use odin. theres a thread here that explains how to do it through odin.

I read somewhere about taking the battery out and then plugging in the phone to usb with ADB running, or was it ODIN, it should boot in to download mode, and from there you can get in to recovery, I seen it done on youtube as well, I think you might need to press the volume up button when you put the battery in, hope it helps
Hi,
This is my first post. Been reading posts for awhile to make sure I'm doing the most I can on my own for my Galaxy S3 and my TF300 but I think I finally hit the wall.
Here's the si
Got a TF300T, unlocked it fine (using SDK and command line through all this) rooted to CWM with fastboot,that didn't work right so I flashed to TWRP, put on paranoid android that didn't take so decided to put back to stock to start fresh. Put it back to stock, unrooted. Looks like I used the wrong version firmware (some keys on my board weren't mapped right, press comma, get semi colon). So I checked and found the newer version firmware, was in the process of loading using command line, accidentally pressed enter while loading so it looks like it was doubling up and looks like it froze so I stopped it by holding on and Vol Down now it won't turn back on.
Now I know that's probably what's causing my problem. But now I get nothign on the screen, I've tried using the tips I've heard on here: reset hole, holding On and Vol Up to get into apx mode etc but nothing is working.
I've searched on the forums but I haven't found anything for my particular problem but maybe I'm not asking the right questions.
I'd really appreciate any help, spent too much on this to give up.
Thanks
Mine transformer tf300 can be turned on, but then it get's stuck on the bootscreen with the text bootloader unlocked. I can't turn it off normally, holding vol - & power button does nothing. To turn it of I need to let the battery run out or press the vol + button & reset hole.
I found a tutorial on youtube how to unbrick it ( I am not able to add the link because I am new).
The tutorials uses apx mode. Here is where my problems start. When I press the vol + button and connect my tablet to my laptop it does enter apx mode and it is shown in the device manager.
But I need to force install the driver acording to the tutorial but I don't know what driver I need to install. I've tried the drivers from the asus website and the driverd for adb. but nothing.
Can anyone tell me which driver I have to install? Because getting in to apx mode is the only way I can get any responce from my tablet. When connected I see apx device connected in the device manager, but nothing in my computer where my disks and removable disks show up.
"poorbil" i have the same issiue you have with the tf300.in my situation i succsesfully installed the APX drivers but i can't find a guide how to use it.maybe we can help eachother.here is my yahoo idky2006_18
Please send me the youtube link and i will send you the link with the drivers for APX.if you have teamviewer i can assist you if dont know how to do it.
Sorry for my bad english.

Like a Sir
so my phone bricked yesterday. completely stock and not rooted. anyone have any idea how or why this might have happened? everything was working ok and then out of nowhere it shut off and it does this all day now. already contacted google for the RMA and the support tech also had no clue what was happening. anyone else have this problem or know how to "fix" this?
i can't post the vid yet cause of the forum rules but i posted online and on the /r/nexus5 thread on reddit.

Can you Start the bootloader ??
---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------
Try this please ....
1. Plug phone into wall charger and hold power button down for 15 seconds.
2. Unplug phone.
3. Hold Volume up+Volume down+Power button for a couple of seconds till it boots back to the bootloader.
It may not do this at the first try so you might have to keep on holding just the Power button for a while and then doing step 3 again.
Try try again and hopefully you'll be fine.
i've tried those methods above multiple times. wish i could post the video because it looks like something that isn't normal. it goes into bootloader for a split second then just restarts. it's weird

Same here, no joy ....
Hope you are doing it correctly to go to download mode:
When your comp is on, connect one end the USB C cable to your comp , turn off phone, press & hold volume up & down buttons together, connect the other end of the cable to the phone. When the warning screen appears, press volume up.
It's been like this for sometime now(starting with S20 series).

Turn off. Press & hold volume up and sidekey together and release when Samsung screen appears. Will take you to recovery.
