[Q] bricked droid 3 with broken volume rockers - Motorola Droid 3

My cousin asked me to install cm9 on his droid 3. Well I bricked it and it had one of those CWM recoveries where you have to boot to it from rom manager. Also the volume rockers are broken so i cant get into AP fastboot and use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339816 . Anyone know of a way to get to AP fastboot without volume rockers or another way that uses stock recovery?
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to include: the phone show motorola dual core technology but dosent advance from that screen. I can get into stock recovery, and i can get into the bootloader but cannot change the selection in the bootloader. Carrier is verizon.

I was looking for this same thing, and finally found a page that mentioned some key shortcuts.
To get into the AP Fastboot mode, power on while holding the "F" key on the keyboard.
Hope this helps you.

What he said
While rom manager does support d3, I would advise against using it. It will just cause problems. Safestrap is the way to go on the d3

[Q] My Nexus One cannot access recovery mode

Sorry if this question is a disturbance. I tried to search for the solution for my problem about a week, but nothing comes up.
I'm a Nexus One new user. My problem is that I can't access recovery mode. I have rooted and installed flash recovery image to my phone. But when I access recovery mode from bootloader menu (surely pressing volume down + power), the logo X appears on the screen for few seconds, then, the screen goes blank. No recovery menu appears. I must press Home + Power to choose reboot or power down to start my phone again. I tried amon-ra v.1..7.0 to v. 1.9 and clockworkmod v.2.5.0.7, but my phone screen still goes blank. Now I'm in despair and don't know what to do. I want to change my rom, but I can't if my phone can't access recovery mode.
Anybody help me please.
I had the same problem after allowing Clockwork to access ROM in its submenu.
I used the following instructions to flashboot the recovery-RA-nexus-v.1.9.0-alpha.img
back into the N1 (blue care bear one).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
You need to download the SDK too to do this, but I'm guessing you already have that
Try Clockwork 2.5.11. It's been updated to support SLCD Nexus Ones. You can flash it straight from ROM Manager.

Galaxy Note 7000 Home button Issue

hi everybody
I bought this phone and the home button not working
first i want somebody to tell if have a custom rom or is the original ICS (See attachment)
Second, how can i check the button, like before boot
victorlht88 said:
looks like its running on stock rom.
you can try flashing another rom via odin, i've faced the same issue before when i removed certain apks in custom roms before flashing.
else boot into recovery mode and see if your home button can function when you make the selections.

Stock Recovery !
The G-Note has a stock recovery function as well. Just turn off your phone and hold the volume-up + Home + Power to enter into recovery. if this is successful then your home button functionality is good.

it might be a hardware fault go check up wid service centre.
I'm Pretty Sure Its A HardWare Fault Cause You Said you didn't flash any, rom or kernels Maybe you Could try flashing the stock rom with Odin again?

i didn't flash any but the item i bought it's second hand, in first post it's a picture with initial specs from phone. And the counter in download mode is around 16 and i only flashed 2 times
I'm back with my question:
it's any way to root my phone (with a custom rom already rooted) or anything else?
i can't restart my phone in recovery mode since y home button doesn't work
i want to root and after try to flash many rom's maybe it is not a hardware issue with home button
thanks

Phone bricked

Hey guys.. i think i have bricked my phone
I have the c6602 model and have a unlockable bootloader but left it locked. I have rooted it using goroh_kuns method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
then put CWM for locked bootloaders on it using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
then flashed this stock based kernel ROM through CWM without wiping the old one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903
but now my phone starts up, and reboots automatically, resulting in a loop. I can not go into the CWM recovery anymore because you have to do it through pc everytime while your phone is on.
Personally i think its Superuser from the previous rom and SuperSU from the new rom mixing up and resulting in the loop boot
Can somebody help please..?

Did you try to enter to CWM recovery by pressing volume key while booting to see if the recovery is working
yes it does not work, the led becomes blue after holding power + volume up it vibrates thrice x 2 then i continue volume up and the led turns blue but nothing really happens, i think its the download mode?

If you have the blue led working this means that it has the fastboot mod working - press VOLUME UP + PLUG INTO PC(not power)
try to switch off the device then press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting to pc = flash mod
If you have one of theese working you can always repair your device

Broken recovery / endless bootloop!

Hello there,
a few days ago i got a lot of problems with my wifi connections, and in a german forum they told me to check if a custom rom could work for me. So i installed the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" tools to install the cwm and so on. After i flashed the recovery.img, my tablet restarted and now i am stucked in a boot loop.
The big problem is, I am not able to reach the menu for RCK and so on again with VOL- and Power Button. Just restarting and restarting and restarting... i can not connect via adb or fastboot. The only thing i can do is VOL+ and Power, Windows 8 then gives a signal of a connection, but i don't know what to do with this - cause I only have a black screen!
I hope, somebody is able to help me, to solve this issue.
Thanks and Regards
(sry for my bad english)
What version of stock Rom was it on the tablet when you flashed cwm and which version cwm did you flash
We recommended the latest Asus firmware and the latest working recovery is 6.0.4.7

I also had a bootloop before, I think I hold both volume and power to power down. Then wait 5 minutes then vol - and power to get into fastboot

Hey! My version was the official 4.3 Update WW_10_26_1_18.
I wanted to install the Asus Stock Modded Deodexd Rom (10.26.1.18 JB 4.3) for root.
After I used this tutorial droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3223 for installing cwm, my device started to begin his loop. I am not able to Use Vol- / power! I also waited for several minutes
What happens if you just keep holding vol- and power without releasing
Sent from my Note II using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
All you have to do is power and vol +/- then flash back the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then wipe. Then boot in as normal (you will have to re-set up). If wipe does not restore you, grab 10.26.1.18 for your SKU from asus , rename the .zip inside to T4_SDUPATE, place on an microsd, pop it in, enter boot loader and enter RCK. Then it will flash it.
You should fastboot boot to ensure you are ok before permanent flashing, when putting a new recovery on.
Your bootloader must be on 10.26.1.18 to use anything on DB.
The Problem is, i have no fastboot connection anymore! The loop is going and going, vol- / pow does not work! It is still looping the asus logo and that's it!

You have to be fast. When.the screen goes black hold vol +/- (hold them both) and it will enter fastboot when it cycles since I doubt u can fully power off in that state. Leave USB plugged in.
also, reply back with how exactly you flashed recovery (the command). did you do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or a fastboot flash boot recovery.img?

that's a good question. I mean, i did exactly what is written in that post from droidbasement.
Then you should have no issue as long as you are on the appropriate boot loader. Hundreds if not thousands of users are using it at this point.
Power and hitting both vol + and - at same time should get it back in to fastboot. Please make sure you time it right.
Good luck.

Asus help is needed
Hello ASUS !!!
You have to HELP us, in order to keep your consumer with you. Other vice people will start to think that your ASUS brand is not a trustful brand anymore. Using such tricks as providing consumer with possibility to open a "Pandora's box" with bootloader unlock, and after you pushing consumer to pay about 300 $ for "motherboard replacing".
Following such kind of policy you will collect some money but definitely you will loose much more.
Sincerely,
Stream1313
PS: I was started to use the "unlock" etc not because I do not have other business t do but because of the serious problem in your DEFAULT STOCK software.
To: Moderator - please do not delete this post, hopefully some ASUS people will read it.
I have the same problem after trying to install OTA from SDcard and then erasing data from power+(vol-)-menu. It's looping all the time and I've tried everything. Only APX works if I use naked drivers (transformer APX-drivers).

You cannot get into fastboot?
How about ADB while it is looping?
You will have to provide more info: What do you have installed?
Bootloader version
ROM
Recovery
What exactly did you do?
APX is useless at this point as there is no way use nvflash on the Tegra4 yet.

no, no chance to get into fastboot or using adb. the only thing that works is APX after pressing volume+ for about 10sec.
what did I do: I tried to install clockworkmod recovery and flashed recovery.img from fastboot. Then I restarted my device. I was sure I did every OTA-update because I checked almost every day for new updates. BUT starting up the tablet I saw my bootloader wasn't 10.26.1.18 (required for CWM). So I went to ASUS-website and downloaded WW_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher and tried to update. But this did not work. So I rebooted pressing power and volume- ... then wiped data or whatever the third option was ... after that my looping started.
I've copied T4_SDUPDATE to my microSD and tried almost everything... charging, apx and looping is the only things that work at this moment
Sorry mate, but you hardbricked your tablet.
You installed a recovery that is incompatible with your bootloader, which is not good but fixable.
Then you used 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader which is pretty much a recipe for disaster with an incompatible recovery installed.
With no fastboot or adb access there is no way to get it back.
[emoji24]
so nothing I could do over APX, microSD and the 3 buttons? no chance, even in future?

[Q] Can't get to recovery from bootloader

Hello all,
I have a VZW Moto X Dev Edition running stock 4.4.2. I'm rooted and currently have TWRP 2.6.3.1 as my recovery. I can access the recovery by doing adb reboot recovery or by telling Titanium Backup to reboot into recovery (I assume these are the same basic thing) and it works just fine, but if I tell the bootloader to go into recovery, it just turns the phone off. It's not a huge deal right now because the phone is working fine, but it's definitely something I'd like to get working.
It was working fine before I had to reflash the stock recovery as part of the 4.4.2 update (which had the same problem, but was able to install the update just fine). Anyone else see anything like this or have any tips I might try?
Thanks!
You are using volume buttom up to select recovery and not the power button right? From bootloader screen volume down once to get to recovery and volume up to select it.

Wow, my own stupidity astounds me. Should've read the instructions on the screen, I guess. It's been a while since I've had to work in the bootloader.
Thanks man!
