Help!
I have recently installed a wrong rom on my RAZR.
However, of course, it doesn't work.
Now I can't even switch on my phone even though I pass any keys.
What can I do? I don;t want my phone to become rubbish...
Thanks for your gentle.
try the razr utility and reinstall the stock rom. then you'll get it all right
Try holding the power button & volume down button simultaneously. That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge. Good luck.

Looks like you are bricked, need to flash your stock back, I am assuming you are on ICS...
Dont worry , just follow the instructions
Pre -Requisites :
1. Download the latest RSD lite : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1539192
or
use EPRL Flash it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1453660
2. Download the ICS fastboot file for your region from here : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Steps :
1. Power off device and enter into BP tools and select AP fastboot mode ( volume up + volume down + power button at same time , select 3rd option by using volume down key and use volume up for selecting it )
2. Connect your phone to PC using USB.
3. Open RSD lite/EPRJ Flash it , select the Fastboot XML , and start flashing. ( follow instruction from the above links for RSD or EPRJ )
4. Reboot and enter to stock recovery ( press volume up + volume down) , Clear Cache and data
5. Reboot.

No sir, you should be just fine, try to reflash back to stock using odin, pull the battery remove the sim and sd card, and then go into downloader mode, and try again.
stock FW here, good luck.

Read the froyo thread you need to adb reboot
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
still cant get it to work... i dunno what im doing wrong. but it seems like all the files needed arent in the link from above.
Keep trying
Try enter "downloading mode" with the sd card in the phone(after many attempts it worked for me), there is a thread in this forum about how to enter "downloading mode" and flash the phone.
still cant get out of the android system recovery mode.. ive tried holding buttons down while turning the phone on and off and theres nothng happening. still cant use the power button as the ok.
i got the same problem i cant use any button as ok
is there a way to get the ok button, or what i can do to get over this problem
thanks in advance
Let me know if these steps help:
Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode. Once you get to
download mode, follow the directions in second part of my post...
First Method
1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.
2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.
3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up
on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.
4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on,
immediately release the power button but not the other two. Hopefully it
will boot into download mode and than you can use Odin to get back to stock.
Second Method
1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery,
sim, sd card.
2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power
button.
3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.
Third Method
1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB.
Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...=SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ung/vibrant/&file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.
3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.
4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep
holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it
reappears, release all 3 buttons.
5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.
6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB
REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.
7) Your phone will reboot into the download
How to get back to stock once in Download Mode:
Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or
the ones in my post below.
Odin and Files Needed Available Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected.
If it doesn't try using a different usb port.
2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that
once you are in Odin.
3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two
options should be checked.
4) Hit start and wait.
5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.
Seems to be the same issue
I just tried upgrading to 2.2 using Odin and this seems to be the same problem. It seems that every solution starts with, "Enter Into Download Mode..." but no method seems to work.
I wouldn't say the phone is "bricked" as when it is plugged into a computer it will install the drivers and Odin sees it, but I can't get it into anything but recovery mode.
The buttons seem to be strangely mapped, the up and down buttons are reversed and the power button doesn't seem to be working as the "Ok" button. The menu toggles the recovery screen and the <!> graphic with the Android. Anyone figured out how to solve this? In the meantime I will continue attempting to get into download moad.
Hi, I have the same exact problem. Stuck in system recovery. Volume buttons reversed. Power button does nothing. Cannot get into download mode. Please Help
what happened?
I just got the same issue :S
the volumes buttons are wrong and the power (OK) button is not working on system recovery mode...
any help?

Folks, any update regarding this problem. I got very same problem, and could not find a solution yet.
hints?
I have the same problem also. I got into the problem by following a thread down grading to 2e version from 3e version. I've tried lots of things including going back to stock--or what I think is stock. I now have the 3e version again but when I bring up recovery mode the up/down buttons are backwards and the ok (power) key doesn't work.
Suggestions? HELP?
We can get into root console and manually tweak files if that will help.
UPDATE----SOLUTION
I got this working by reloading the stock t-mobile kernel from http androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/. This link provided at that site is single file so just use the pda and pit boxes in odin. In desperation I selected re-partion and Phone bootloader update.
I was unable to get into the recovery console with hitting any keys but adb did the trick. Volumn-up and power gets into the flash download
Finally Fixed it
I finally was able to get the phone into download mode by holding down the volume up key, the search key and the power key.
It seems the key mapping was just messed up.
After it entered download mode I followed the guide on androidspin /2010/08/09/ how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant (add the .com to androidspin, forum won't let me post links yet)
Hi How did you hold the search key. It does not light up till the vibrant shows on screen. Can you please explain how to managed to hold vol up, power and search together? thanks
Sivaavis its only a 3-button combo, not 4. Why u holding down search? Its up,down volume and power and then when the vibrant logo shows u let go of power.

If you are in recovery mode just go into adb and type in:
adb reboot download
You should be in download mode

Hi i have small problem with my phone my phone is at 4.0.4and i installed newest miui and now my kernel is messed up.
I cant open ap fastboot or any else tool there it results black screen is it possible to restore kernel any other way like trough safestrap?

So you tried to install the MIUIv5 on a ICS based phone? That wasn't very smart as there is clearly stated you must be on 4.1.2!
Usually there is no chance to mess up your kernel by flashing a custom rom - our bootloader is locked which makes things like that more difficult.
It looks like a problem with the bootloader and not a messes up kernel - even when I cannot imagine why this happended because you are using Safestrap! Except you were using an old SS version - there would be no guarantee for potential issues when mixing old stuff with new stuff..
If you cannot enter AP fastboot mode it looks really bad for you... Are you sure you cannot enter fastboot??
Force reboot by pressing and holding Power key + Vol Down key, then immediately press and hold BOTH Vol keys when the screen goes off???
Otherwise when you are still able to enter SS you should be able to switch to your stock slot and boot up your stock rom?

Yeah the mistake happened when i hastly just downloaded the rom and installed it. Never tought it would harm my phone..
My phone works normaly and boots but fastboot does not work :/
Or could the problem come from exessive use of force shutdown? My power button does not work and oftenly i have to force shutdown to open my screen??

I don't have any idea why this happened. But you can test something.
1. From recovery's reboot options select "bootloader".
2. Install BMM app (only the app if you're SS user!), open the BMM rebooter and select bootloader or fastboot (if existing).
3. Use RSD lite and your phones fastboot package. Remove everything from its xml file except the kernel - we need something to flash via fastboot for using purposes without messing up your current system. Plug in your phone while being on main system (booted), wait until your phone is being recognized by the computer and press "flash" in RSD lite. Usually RSD boots your phone into fastboot automatically.

I kind of have a bigger problem. Under BMM I played 2 ROMS in KEXEC. I wanted to change the names of the ROMS in BMM but BMM indicated problems and asked to undelete. I did and restarted, but now I cannot enter the phone.
Tried to fastboot under RSD but my fastboot file led to "FAIL".
Ran an old "ubrick routine" which helped me before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39247094#post39247094 which booted the phone and keeps booting in the JBX logo
In the meantime I tried a number of old fastboot files but all failed.

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I received my ATT LG E970 Phone, I was trying to remove ATT Apps from the phone. So, I did using ..

After Rebooting, I got a Google Logo instead of LG.. Don't know and as per instructions I entered in Fast Boot mode. In fast Boot mode some Green Android icon came and I can change the setting using volume + and - button. I eneterd from there in RECOVERY Mode.
After pressing Power in Recovery Mode of Green Android the phone rebooted and It eneterd in "Team Win Recovery Project". I din't know what to do with it. After some searching I did a Factory Reset using Wipe button in "Team Win Recovery Project". and Rebooted but still Noting Happened. Phone restarted with Google Logo and there after nothing comes :S
After that I agin entered in Fast Boot Mode.. using Vol + and Power buttton together and eneterd in Recovery mode and again went to Wipe in "Team Win Recovery Project" and then Advanced and selected all folders and Deleted all. After that I rebooted using "Team Win Recovery Project" but it said NO OS INSTALLED.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.
milind
hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..

sorry, you're right... have you tried to manually get into download mode?
Poweroff phone>connect usb cable to phone (not to computer yet)>hold down (both) volume up/volume down>connect usb to computer (while holding down volume buttons)

I tried to reset my phone but it rebooted in the middle of restoring. now when i power on my phone all i get is a green android and what looks like restoring but then the phone just reboots after 3 seconds. if i press power and volume+ /volume- to enter clockwork mod i just get the same thing as when i power on. it looks like the phone is restoring but it just reboots. is there any way i can recover my phone using meta mode or factory mode, as i can't enter recovery. thanks for any help. note: i have tried to recover by this method, without success.
1. Download Lenovo drivers, unzip the archive. Turn off the phone and remove battery. Open device manager and connect the phone to PC. Watch for new devices. It will be displayed as МТ65хх Preloader. You need to be quick, because it will dissapear in some second. Click on it with the right button and select update driver. Point the wizard to the driver folder, it will install the correct driver automatically.
If it doesn't work with removed battery you can try to power on the phone and turn on developer options in settings or enter meta mode – hold Volume Down and Power buttons. Then connect the phone to PC again.
2. Download and extract Recovery zip and Flash tools. Run Flash Tools, click on DL DA All With Check Sum, load the scatter file located in Recovery folder, uncheck Preloader and hit Download (F6). Remove battery from phone and connect it to PC. When done, a green circle will appear.
3. Enter recovery mode – hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power buttons until you see the logo. Make a backup of your current system first. Install new zip.
OK... most imp thing can you boot in normal mode??? if yes you just need to install android recovery. if not then you have to flash stock ROM ... download it from here needrom .com/mobile/lenovo-a820-12/ (remove the space between .com n needrom ) . in case you you just have problems with recovery then select only recovery in so flash else select all options.
hit thanks if you find it valuable.

i can't get the phone to connect without the battery, i can only get it in factory or meta mode and in these modes i can't flash any rom.
if you can go into factory mode den mobile's perfectly fine. you just need to flash stock ROM once.
1) switch off your phone
2) open the sp flash tool
3) you will see Scatter-Loading option click it and locate the scatter file (it is present in the ROM folder you downloaded)
4)now press download button
5)after pressing download button connect your phone via USB cable
it may take 5-10 mins n you are done... you don't need to turn your phone ON...
it has worked for me
