Hi All
After successfully rooting I though I would go the next stage and install CWM , in my haste I must of done something wrong and after resetting the phone it wont turn on. I have tried a factory reset, wont turn on, tried pulling battery etc no luck. When I plug it into the computer I get a searching for QHSUSB_DOWN driver which never succeeds and running the LG update utility just says phone not connected...ANY help would be sincerely appreciated...!!!
Can you get into download mode by pulling the battery out, then put it back, press and hold volume up button and press power button.
If download mode works, then follow the unbricking solution.
Thanks for the quick response and nope no luck!

You can't get into download mode like that (just tried it to verify). You have to power off the device, hold volume up then plug in usb to get into download mode.
either way have had no luck, seems it is going back to warranty....

Strange thing I don't even need hold the power button, just hold vol up after battery is in and press once power button...go figure, this is one f.up phone...
Hey there.
I am boarding an airplane in a couple hours so I am urgently seeking help.
I am using akop b25. I was installing a Google music apk and my phone restarted. It then went into a boot loop.
When I turn the phone in using power+volume down, it boots into a screen like fast boot except it says ODIN mode in red at the top, under the android picture it says downloading.... do not turn off the target. The only thing I can do from here is battery pull or press the power button to activate "start", which just boots the device and back into boot loop.
Can anyone help me with this situation. Thanks alot
Try another button combo. Volume up and power button?
In recovery, reflash the rom. I'm not sure though how an apk install caused boot loops.

To get to fastboot the button combo is Vol Up + Vol Down + Pwr. From there select recovery and reflash.

Wow, epic face palm. I could have sworn fast boot was volume down only. Okay, I should be fine then.
Thanks a lot guys
Hello everyone,
when I boot my phone into recovery mode, there is only one option available: Odin Mode. It says "downloading. do not turn off...".
I can get into CWM through RomManager and everything else works fine. Just flashed Jelly Bean an hour ago.
I had to replace my USB port some days ago and this issue was present before the port was changed. So I thought it had something to do with that.
It would only become an issue when the phone would be in a bootloop...
How can I "force" the phone out of OdinMode? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
I just pull the battery.
Volume up + volume down + power is to get to bootloader

Thanks. I messed something up there...
Still use a HTC Desire S/Saga as a second phone and there it's vol & power for bootloader and vol+, vol- & power for hardware reset.
No flash will turn on or download mode, I hold Vol Up +Down button and nothing. Tried taking of battery and nothing....I was using CWM recovery to flash a overclock kernal. But installation aborted so i reinstalled the kernal i had before. After that i rebooted system and from there it stayed off :with 90% battery life. Any Idea on how to fix?
That's a bummer...have you googled unbricking the sgs3? Maybe try making a jig..super easy to do and saved my arse a few times! Good luck

So the phone won't turn on at all? Not even a short vibrate?

Remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and immediately hold down home, volume up, and power. As soon as it vibrates let go of power while still holding down home and volume up. Should get you to recovery mode.
gonna echo try using a jig.
Try volume up (or down, I forget) + power + home button all the same time. If it doesn't work by itself, try plugging the phone into your computer at the same time.
Worked for me when I flashed the euro mods when sgs3 first came out

i have a tmobile galaxy s2 sgh-t989. i did a hard reset on the phone and something went wrong. When it rebooted and powered on i now have a black screen and a no sync error in little box. the time, bluetooth, wifi all still work. My computer doesnt recognize the phone is plugged to usb, So using odin isn't working. the phone won't go into DOWNLOAD MODE. i have kies, samsung drivers all installed on pc. I have tried using a sd card and using .zip files to recover. "E: signature verification failed" error is all i keep getting when trying the sd card method. i believe the rom is stock, ANDROID SYS RECOVERY <3e> blue screen comes on when holding vol+/-. is my phone a brick or can it be fixed is my question. i dont want to keep wasting my time if this cant be fixed.

You will not be able to flash anything in stock recovery. To get into download mode, unplug the battery, plug into computer with Odin opened, hold power and two volume buttons, insert battery. You can then flash stock ROM in Odin.

Did you try what I just posted? If you can get into recovery, you have to be able to boot into download mode somehow.

yes sir. tried vol+/vol- + power and plugging usb into phone. also tried leaving cord in pc and phone with battery out, then putting it back in while holding vol buttons. i release power button after the little vibrate when first turning phone on. nothing still. i ordered a jig off ebay hoping it will get into download mode.

The jig should work. I found that it works better to hold it in passed the vibration until you see the download mode screen. And it is plug USB into computer and phone without pushing any buttons and then hold the 3 button combo in. If you want and easy way to root and install custom recovery once you are all fixed up, just let me know and I'll send ya some instructions.
Have a good evening,

How to use jig
- Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for 2 seconds.
- Put the battery back in the device and don't turn it on.
- Plug the jig into the micro USB port on the phone.
- After about few seconds, your phone should boot up automatically and bring you straight into download mode.
- Unplug the jig.
- Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via the program "odin".

i took out battery for 10 seconds. did what you said the phone starts and just resets if i dont let go of power button.
FWIW, you only have to push both volume buttons when plugging into the computer to get to download mode.

I was trying to trouble shoot since he said he had tried combos like that already. Idk why the jig didn't work when the phone boots, though. Would adb reboot download work without root?
