[Q] Volume down broken and bootloop - how to get to recovery?

Yea, the title almost says it all;
After I changed the screen on my GN the volume down button is not functioning (1 of the 3 solderings is loose).
That was not much of a problem since I could just turn the volume down with the slider that appears, when pressing the volume up button.
BUT
I was too excited to try out the Optimus 4X lockscreen, so I flashed it and ended in a bootloop.
And since my volume down button is broken, I ask:
How do I get into recovery to perform a restore?
...srsly?
recovery is vol up+power, not vol down+power.

Afaik, without volume down button working you cannot enter bootloader OR download (Odin) mode. So basically, all you can do is try to fix the soldering.

Are you sure? Vol up + power button doesn't boot recovery for me.
If u are not in bootloop mode u can just using adb command to reboot into recovery. But if u are having bootloop then u have to enter download mode and flash with odin. I forgot what button is power+volume up, but any mode whether it's download mode or recovery mode are not a problem in android world

Yea, that is what I'm afraid of because I don't have any soldering equipment..
You can plug in and see if she's getting far enough in for an "adb reboot bootloader" but I'm not sure if that'll work.
Worth a shot!
Recovery is volume up + down + power. Volume up + power is Odin.

Can't you Odin push a ROM to the phone? And when you get in download ROM manager and recover your backup.

Sorry for the misspeak. Volume down +power is Odin and volume up + down + power is fastboot, which will get you to recovery.

No, because he cannot get into the bootloader, download mode OR recovery because of a faulty volume down key.

For adb to work, he must either boot into android or a custom recovery. He cannot do either.

My bad, I forgot his phone is in bootloop. So this means no hope? It's so horrible because my galaxy gio have a not working volume up and down, this means I can't make it bootloop or I'll end up dead like him

Phone Keeps shutting off at random

Hey All. I just got this problem today, my phone keeps shutting off randomly and then it will get stuck at booting up and will constantly make the sound it makes while booting up. I just tried reflashing to stock via odin following thisTutorial and i got it to restore to stock but it got stuck at the samsung logo after the T-mobile logo. After that it keeps doing the same to me as before restoring to stock. I can't get into recovery on it or download mode.
Could be stuck or bad power button try cleaning in and around the button.

When you restored from Odin did you do a factory reset? If you didn't it will stay on the Samsung logo.

Did you turn off the phone and hold volume up + volume down + power until the phone vibrates and then let go of power button?

Hold Volume up&home +power until the phone vibrates, then let go of just the power button (continue holding vol up&home).
Once you're in recovery you can flash a different rom, restore a backup, etc.

Make sure your battery is charged to at least 70%. Once done try entering recovery again by holding down vol up + power + home key at the same time until you see the blue text on the upper left hand corner and then let go. If this doesn't work you should be able to enter download mode with vol down + power + home key. If so I'd recommend flashing back to complete stock using ODIN on your pc and start from scratch.

I think people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Press the power button. When the phone vibrates, release it. Hold home+vol up until you see the recovery booting blue text, then release those.
Holding the power button puts the phone in a boot loop. Something I used to do on occasion until I learned it in fact didn't need to be held at all.
you can do this too...wipe data and factory...sometimes happening when i flasshing via odin

[Q] How do I get to recovery?(volume up is broken)

Hello, so basically I flashed something and its freezing on the google logo. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal. I'd just boot into recovery and restore a backup. The problem is that my volume up button is broken. So I have no idea how I can get into recovery mode from here. Does anyone know of a way?
Thank you.
adb reboot recovery.
Vol down + power?

I don't have adb set up, but if I can set it up after my phone is screwed up then I might try that. Vol down + power makes my phone go into odin mode which doesn't help. You have to hold vol up + vol down + power for recovery.

well odin does help you in a way; it gets you back to stock and from there you can put recovery back on, etc
