So,
I was updating my SIII to Omega 44.2 from omega 44. I did a full wipe and it just hung there doing nothing........so I pulled the battery (I know, right :silly. Anyway I am now stuck on boot loop, I can't get into recovery as my Vol+ doesn't work. I can get into download mode, but can't continue due to not being able to use the Vol+.
If anyone knows a way around this, although I know it is highly unlikely.
Thank you in advance for the ear bashing I am about to recieve.:good:
You should open your phone and try to fix the volume button but you can also acces the download mode via adb reboot download and recovery mode via adb reboot recovery (this one is propably kinda useless since you dont have touch recovery) when you reach the download mode you can just flash stock firmware via odin
btw hit the thanks button if i helped you
AW: [Q] Bricked s3
To me it sounds like a case for service center repair. I'm not used to Usb jigs, but I assume they still need you to press the vol+ button to continue to download mode...

I do have touch recovery, I just can't enter it because of the Vol+.

You should really try to fix the volume buttons . Be brave and open the device or else pay someone to fix the buttons nothing else

Great so heres guide to reach the recovery mode without hard buttons
1.Download adb and install adb drivers for your phone
2.Extract the files to your c directory in a folder named adb(creat one)
3.Once the files are located in c:\adb go to start menu then search for cmd
4.type in cd c:\adb then click enter
5.type in adb devices it will show the connected devices it should be bunch of numbers
6.if you cant see them it means adb drivers for your device are not installed correctly
7.Now you can reboot to the recovery mode (adb reboot recovery) or download mode (adb reboot download)
you can also use usb jig

Another way exist :-s ?
Oops..
Ive not noticed it.
I think you are in a deep trouble now ..
Your phone is hardbricked.
Hardbricks refers to the phone as
totally jammed, it doesn't show
anything, can't access the download
mode screen. The only solution for
this is by called JTAG flashing, which
is forcing to install the firmware
back to the phone. The process is not
too easy, this includes disassembling
the phone, some soldering required
and flashing by means of using a
flashing device tool.
I cant post a link now. The above text copied from a blog!!
Final hope:tried a battery pull ?

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.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

Actually there was no battery on phone that is why the phone was not booting up to TWRP mode. Now I'm in TWRP and downloading Stock ROM. Hope it get fixed soon.
Many Thanks and Regards

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.

Hi,
Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
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 ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.

Please help?
Edit : I also tried Unticking ZIP File Verification. But still it says .. "Error in Flashing Zip"
I did this from the forum @carrett started:
Obtain the following files: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (available on IRC or googling), and the firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953). Unzip AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip and follow the instructions in "READ ME FIRST.txt" (mad props to tSilenzio for automating this process).

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

I tried reboot to boot loader but unfortunately it takes me back to Fast Boot mode (in green Andriod screen) :/
I also tried all options of reboot but no use. Either the phone comes in Fast Boot mode or Power off.

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
i just bought a "Dragon Touch M7" from ebay. It uses a Mediatek MT8127 chipset. It comes with KitKat. The manufacturer's website (tabletsexpress.com) has the download links for FIRMWARE file for 5.0 Lollipop and the SP Flash tool for it. I downloaded the 5.0 firmware and flash tool.. however, I cant get into download mode on the tablet because the tablet doesnt have any buttons. no home button no volume buttons. I tried "adb reboot download" command but it just reboots the tablet. When I type in reboot recovery I can get into some stock recovery mode but i cant move up and down because my tablet has no volume buttons. All i can do is hold down power and turn it off. Pressing the power button hides the choices of "Reboot now; install from sdcard; install from" .. etc... is recovery mode the same thing as download mode?? if so, nothing happens when i try to flash the firmware.
I have rooted and flashed custom ROMs with samsung galaxys in the past so I do have some experince with this kind of stuff.
Wow this is mind puzzling perhaps you need to google this tablet via Chinese websites and use Google Translate. You need to get the exact firmware for the tablet to power-up.
