are you rooted..?? if yes, then which ROM..?? If no, then get it rooted first. You can go to download mode after that if your Volume key isn't working.

buddy, I think you need to go to SSC. Coz for going in CWM & Download mode, you need to press Up volume button. Or somehow you can reach to Menu(start the device) then we can help you out.

Stuck in bootloop with broken vol button

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.

Adb in recovery

Is anyone else having issues while in recovery? I am running CWM and I can't see my tablet properly. Windows tells me it can't identify the device and when I try to make it use nvidias drivet (or any driver) it tells me it's not compatible and something about it not being 64bit even though there are x64 drivers available. Works perfect everywhere else, just looking to see if anyone else has dealt with that.

Figured out my issue in a way. While in CWM it doesn't appear to report to windows properly, stock recovery works fine.

If you want me to test anything out with it let me know. Maybe this will help pinpointing the issues for the touch driver if I can pull logs while in recovery.

Still having issues in windows it shows up as "Unknown USB Device (Configuration Descriptor Request Failed)" and gives me
Code:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A request for the USB configuration descriptor failed.
for device status.
I'll give it a try in Linux but if it is not reporting properly then I don't think it will work there either.

I can't even get the menu to pop up. On stock it's just vol + and power and then you can see the menus and select adb sideload etc. On my compiled one it just sits at the No Command screen even after pressing those buttons, and it shows up as the same thing in my PC as CWM did.

go into fastboot and flash a recovery then boot into recovery
Just tested stock recovery and the device doesn't even show as being connected until I select sideload then all I get is sideload.

I meant to say boot into the bootloader so you can use fastboot. From Nvidia
Code:
HW method:
Turn off the device
Press "Volume Down" -> "Power", hold "Volume Down" and leave Power buttons till device boots
So basically just hold vol - then press power and keep the vol button held but not the power. Should give you a black screen with some words on it and you can select a few different things. When you are there use fastboot like you would adb. Get a cwm image and give it the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
Put what ever name and location you have for your recovery image in place of cwm.img.

Thanks for your fast reply here is whats happening I have been working with a dev to get acip up and running, I have cwm recovery and have fully wiped the device and installed acip which currently is bootlooping. Now my problem is when I try to enter fastboot holding down -volume key and pressing the power it just splashes to the boot logo so no luck there but when I hold down volume + and power key I can hear the sound of a usb connecting to my computer but have a black screen only. So when I check device manager under windows I can see a yellow caution mark APX unknown device so at the moment trying to find a driver that will work so that's where I am really

Grab theses and see if they work. They are included with Nvidias tegra development tools.
Nvidia Drivers (shouldn't be much different than googles drivers but here they are.)
I don't think you are going to want it in APX anyways. I noticed it can be a pain to get the bootloader try keeping vol - held and only pressing power for a couple of seconds at most and give it a second for the screen to turn on. If you hit the splash screen then you missed the bootloader.

"only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"

I tried to root phone with twrp and magisk but forgot to turn on oem-unlock, so I am stuck now and getting "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" notification. I can neither boot in download mode to flash stock rom, i tried many times. getting same red notification doesn't matter which button combinations I hold. Do you know how to solve that?

Do I have to hold it for a long time? I tried, but it's still same, as soon as I connect it to PC red notification starts blinking.
I rooted it long time ago, today I did factory reset from twrp and as I wanted to flash magisk I forgot to activate developer options and after that I have this problem. Maybe I have to wait for some time?

For putting phone in download mode no, but you have to flash stock rom again so you will need them.
If volume down + power button + plug usb cable didn't work, try volume up + power button + plug usb cable and connect to PC, it should put phone in download mode in few seconds.
Here are links you need to install android OS again.
