Bricked E975 with not working vol + and -, need help! - LG Optimus G (International)

Hey, guys. I just got bricked my phone and I can not find any solution. My vol + buttno seems not to be working and the vol- button is working from time to time. The phone was with CM 12 Lillipop and I git update but I didn't like it. So I did not wiped everything before to flash it back with the original ROM (CM12) so I got bootloop of android logo. Is there any way to put it into recovery mode or something without vol + /I could make vol- to work somehow/? Please, I heed help!

Can you go to fast boot? (Vol up plus power) if yes then flash SOLID KERNEL V1.6 GPROJ through fastboot... It might work, else flash a stock kdz

No, it's just volume up is not working anymore. Volume down works sometimes though.
Thank you anyway. If there's other way...

Come on guys, I am begging you. If someone know a tool or something to fix my phone, I would be very thankful...

Bro calm down! Just download tools and flash stock kdz
First hold both volume down buttons and connect your phone to PC with cable while holding both volume buttons. Does download mode appear? If it does then flashing stock kdz will get your phone back!

As I said before, my volume buttons are not working properly. That's the reason I made this thread- to find out if I can save my phone or not. I already tried flashing with kdz, but I can not boot the phone in any mode but bootloop CM lollipop logo. Also I can not install MTP on PC as it seems to be the problem when I tried with adb command prompt.
So, is there any other way except repair service for the volume buttons?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using XDA Free mobile app

Aah I got your problem. You have bootloader unlocked? To flash kdz you need a locked bootloader. Try locking it somehow (kinda impossible if you can't boot :/ ). Once you flash stock recovery and lock bootloader then you'll be able to flash kdz! I think you need to go to repair shop to fix buttons

By the way, I did installed a custom recovery via FreeGee. Since then when I reboot the phone, it shows Google and a locked locker at the bottom. It could mean locked bootloader, right? Also I have backup and all the files i need in there, but the problem is I can not reach them. Tomorrow I am going to talk to the service. I hope there's a hope
Anyway, thank you again, @MZ_
If anyone else has something in mind, please - I am opened for suggestions

Well yes it means a locked bootloader. If you could go to fastboot you could try fastboot oem unlock command. As the mako boot loader is nexus based ... Just a thought. Can you get a temp fix your vol up button? Any hard thing which presses button? :/

locked or unlocked BL has nothing to do with the download mode. You have to take your device to download mode using some commands from PC. search for this. I think this sould work: adb reboot download

Dude he can't connect with ADB! Please readout the post first! He is in a softbricked state. He has recovery but his keys are damaged. I think the bootloader is locked that's why it isn't booting up (maybe) ... Or the ROM is damaged. Anyways he can't do anything till he fixes both the volume buttons!

Yeah, @MZ_. I am not able to do anything like this. I tried adb, but it said no device found. I took the phone to the service today so I am waiting for respond. Once again, thank you all for the suggestions. ROM is not corrupted. It is cm 12 working perfect, but when I updated it there was lots of lagg. So I did the mistake just to wipe cache and dalvik before to reflash the original ROM. So that's how I got bricked my phone. So now I am gonna wait hopefully for good ):

[Q] How to boot to recovery?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom
Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine
OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.
To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm
WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.
That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it
Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

[Q] Unable to get into Bootloader [Bootloop]

So I bought myself a Galaxy Nexus from Ebay and it arrived today.
The problem with it is, that the seller told me he did an OTA Update that in the end causes endless Bootloops.
I thought to myself that this should be easy to solve by just flashing a custom rom but I don't even get to the Bootloader.
Whenever I press Volume Up + Down + Power the Google logo appears without vibrating or anything.
Then it goes on to the Nexus Bootscreen till it just restarts.
Any Ideas?
Does adb recognizes your de vice?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Isn't it necessary to be able to boot to check that?
So it looks like my phone is soft bricked.
There's still the problem that I'm unable to get into the bootloader aswell as into download mode.
I also already tried the OMAP flash tool.

It will get you into Odin mode similar to pressing Vol down + Power, then you can use Odin to flash a new firmware which is very dangerous and could brick your device if done wrong

So you can't boot into the OS at all anymore? Cause if you can at least get into the OS you can use adb to terminate the the crashed app if it still rooted. And are you certain you can no longer get to recovery? I've already made the mistake of not having the volume up button fully depressed.

Thank you for your reply.
After flashing stock firmware I lost root.
I can log into android OS, But because of the annoying popular I have no chance to change nothing.
As for adb you mentioned , it is something I need to learn. From the little I know, It won't help me without root.
Thank you very much.

It's actually never been home and volume up for the s4. I too was fooled by this. I guess since the s3 behaved this way someone tried it on the s4 and it worked... but I never ever needed home button pressed to boot to recovery with volume up glad everything is sorted out for ya!

Problems with CyanogenMod 11 - Unofficial

Hi everybody,
I have a BIG problem, with CyanogenMod 11 - Unofficial. I installed the 05/13 update and at the beginning I only had problems with the volume bar and the reboot panel: it shows kinda grayish overlay and the only way to make it disappear was to press the backward button. So, I tried to flash back the Stock Rom, but something has gone wrong... I still have CyanogenMod 11 - Unofficial, and the gray overlay is everywhere, anytime (I managed a way but limits phone usability). Moreover, key combinations involving the power button do not work, and I'm not able to do anything like Recovery boot or Deep Reset...
I need your help!
Thanks in advance

That's a bug from the old version, so press all buttons until the phone reboots and hold them until the you see the Huawei logo. Than it should boot TWRP and from there you should restore a backup or flash a new ROM.

Hm... how long do you hold that 3 buttons? It can last around half minute to get to the stock recovery... You should put sd card to another device or adapter and put stock firmware on it then back to p6 and hold 3 buttons combination untill recovery apears

When you say "stock firmware" what do you mean? the zip file with the stock rom? or the boot.img file?
The zip file with the stock rom.
Do I have to mention that you have to unzip downloaded file and put: /external_sd/dload/UPDATE.APP ?

[Q] Stuck at bootloader

Hi!
A few days ago I flashed Gohma rom and smart me, pressed reset device at the settings. after that there was bootloop. I tried to flash stock image through fastboot, it flashed succesfully but now I cannot get out of that bootloader screen. I have tried every stock images but no luck... Whenever I power on the device it vibrates three times immediately and boots to bootloader.
So, do you have any advice here?
In the gohma ROM zip, there's a return to stock script. Try to remove the two adb commands from that script and run it to flash your watch.
It's helped some other people.
