Hello everyone.
I recently purchased a Sky Vega LTE A800s (used) with a damaged Volume - key. It worked perfect until i decided to install CM10 on the device.
Since it was on Stock JB, i needed to downgrade it to install cwm. I used a downgrade tool which flashes CWM, while deleting the current ROM in the phone.
After running the program, my phone rebooted and did not go furher after the 2nd boot logo. I tried to go into Recovery but due to the faulty vol key, i couldn't. Nor could i enter fastboot or Download mode.
The Phone is still recognized in ADB but does not do anything on trying to reboot to recovery via the adb command.
I'm really frustrated now as i have a Useless paperweight which isn't even hard bricked. I got it checked from 2 Technicians who after checking it told me that its gone for good...
Is my phone really hopeless? Or there is a way by which i can fix it. ANY HELP WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED!
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I need some help please.
I tried to root my sons galaxy young S6310N using a video on you tube
However at the 4.41 point I didnt have the yes- root option.
I themn rebooted and it went back into CWM recovery. v6.0.3.2
It's been stuck in this for 2 days now, I have searched everywhere for a solution but I'm lost now. I have information overload I think.
I have tried to install drivers through Kies but it won't recognise my phone in CWM recovery or in download mode.
I have tried to install a custom rom via sd card, it seems to work but reboots into CWM again.
I fear I may have made a mess of it now by messing around with things I know nothing about. I panicked really.
The phone was running jelly bean and is only a week old.
I can get adb but not sure how to use it properly.
Could someone please help?
Thanks in advance
sorted it myself
Hi, just in case anyone was interested I managed to sort this.
I put phone into download mode (holding vol - & menu & power) then pressed up at logo screen to enter download mode.
My pc then installed drivers automatically (something I had been struggling with in CWM recovery mode)
I then installed stock rom recovery.tar.md5 file using odin and the phone rebooted as normal.
I have given up trying to root it now, I may learn properly before attempting again, or may leave it.
Search for your device first before making a thread..!!

Good..but always use recovery for ur phone only..or make it for ur phone..
And do any changes in stock ROM after creating a BACKUP of the same..
ROOTING is not a difficult now-a-days but overcoming from the loss of time and data after BRICKING is so painful.
If you are not friendly with the commands and codes then use a software for that or follow up the WRITTEN guide..or use FARMAROOT app.
Head to thread...Thanks Mr. Bin4ry for this awesome method:
Rooting almost every phone
Enjoy..!!
I apologize if this is in the wrong place, and I've really tried searching around, but nothing seems to work/ is tailored to the m8.
So, I just got an M8 new out of the box, rooted it and successfully installed cyanogenmod. Problem is, I was playing around with it, trying to get the GApp store and somehow (did what i think was) deleted my roms completely. Now upon booting up the phone I just get the "This build is for dev..." screen, and with the volume down+Power button to access recovery mode I constantly get put back to the fastboot screen. I tried flashing a custom recovery as in "Phone arena CWM flash recovery" guide, but no luck because my computer is reading the device as offline. I honestly have no idea what to do, and if anyone could help me I would be so greatful...
TL;DR: Stuck on boot screen, can't enter recovery mode, think i deleted all my roms, help please
On a scale of 1 - bricked, how bricked is my phone?
HUGE DEVELOPMENTS, GUYS! I've been able to access recovery mode again by re-flashing ClockWorkMod.

On that scale, you are zero. If the screen comes on, you aren't bricked.
Had a problem with my htc one m8, so i pulled out my i9100 backup phone.
it had neat rom 4.1.2 on it, and everything was working fine.
i have tried to flash onmi rom():
1. entered recovery mode
2. backed up CWM to external SDCARD.
3.flased "CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip" & rebooted into new recovery.
4.installed "omni-4.4.2-20140214-i9100-INFECTED.zip".
5.installed "pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140207-signed.zip"
6.installed "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip".
after that, when i wanted to reboot, i got a message saying i could loose su and if i want to fix it, i choosed "NO".
device entered to a boot loop.
i tought no biggy, i would go back to recovery, flash philz CWM and recover my nandroid backup.
it will not get into recovery mode.
tried again, pulled the battery, put it back, hold down VOL-Down+home+power button, and nothing, boot loops over and over again.
tried to get into download mode, not going there as well.
connecting to a pc with ADB+samsung drivers, the device wont show up.
Any suggestions? did i bricked the phone forever?

Are you sure that the phone doesn't boot into the download mode(Vol Up+Powe+Home) ??
If that's the case, then I'm afraid that your phone is hard bricked forever. You have to fix/replace the motherboard then(about $50). You can go to the service center and get it done, or check out this video(JTAG METHOD): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7le4GmxZs
I hope something works out for you.

yes, i'm sure :'( its not my first time with the device.
i have ordered a usb jig from ebay, maybe it will force the device into download mode...if not... :\
just got my USB jig i have ordered from ebay(less than a dollar), plugged it to the phone, and it got into download mode!
used odin to flash stock rom, and then installed cyanogenmod with the cm installer.
everything is working fine!
I know this is late, but I wanna ask a question. Firstly I'm happy that your bricked phone came back to life(like how many years ago).
Can a USB jig work on any other phone brand other than Samsung phones? Can it be used for tecno, infinix, and all that? Or it is dedicated to only Samsung mobiles?
Hello,
Im new here and im not sure if here is the correct place to ask questions but,
I have a Huawei Y5 II and i was trying to put android 6.0 or higher but i had alot of problems.
I first unlocked my bootloader and then installed a custom recovery TWRP and CWM on it, but i never succeeded in booting into one of them.
What happened is that i saw in a post here on xda that with a certain command in fastboot mode i can remove the custom recoveries ( because they didnt work at all) but when i did it i ended up formatting my whole system,cache and boot.
Now my phone just stays on the huawei logo when i turn it on and nothing else.
i tried to install a custom recovery again throught the fastboot mode using adb on my pc, but when i press the vol up+ power my phone just keeps restarting and restarting and staying on the logo.
Thanks in advance for your time spent on reading my problem i just wanna use my phone again cuz i love it. <3
Hi, try to flash latest stock firmware for SD update here is example but do for your model and region !!!
http://huawei-firmware.com/rom/huawei-y5ii/cunu29/1719
Good Luck
Thanks you, but i would do that if i had access to my recovery!
If i press the keys my phone just restarts and restarts until i let the keys off, then again... just the logo.
my phone still is in warranty and i can give it to my distributor so their service fixes it.... but i dont really want that.. i just wanna fix it and use it as before.
well..
i had my phone to service and i got it fixed for 100 bucks. :/ i really am a sadman
A few months ago, I successfully rooted my SM-A105FN/DS with Magisk and Odin. I remember I had TWRP on there, but I think I flashed my phone again, therefore causing my phone to lose TWRP. I recently decided to install the TWRP recovery again, yet I installed the wrong recovery, and after flashing with Flashify and rebooting, I was met with a boot loop. I only saw the Samsung logo with the official software warning and bootloader unlock warning. This would restart constantly until I plugged in my phone, to be met with the logo stuck on the screen. I cannot enter adb, fastboot, Odin mode or recovery mode. My PC doesn't recognise it. I spoke to some Samsung support people online, and they hand no clue whatsoever. I don't want to pay for a repair (I doubt they'd repair it anyways because I have bricked it with a rom and have rooted it). Is it possible to fix it with software, and if not, how can I, and is it possible to replace it with the motherboard of another A10?
you solved that?
i have the same problem, this situation is very nerve wrecking. anyone got a fix on this one?
You cold try to wait until the battety get flat,then you hold vol + and - buttouns then plug into a computer,you should see the download mode
can you open the fastboot mode with volume down + power? it may enables the odin again
