so i will start with the main problem of the phone
the down volume is not working.
so i rooted the phone,flash recovery,and flashed rootbox rom
but the rom isnt going up and stuck on the animation screen
but now i cant go inside the recovery since if want to do it via the toolbox so i need the phone to be on,
and i cant do it the normal way- down+power because the down volume isnt working
its really important please help??
Help someone???
It's really important
I believe you have two solutions, to fix the volume key or to buy a jig. As I don't believe there is another way to boot into any of the helpful modes (recovery, bootloader, odin) without adb, a working OS, or the volume key(s).

Hello,
i can't enter my recovery mode, when i power on the phone i pressed the volume rocker down, but it doesnt work!! can someone tell me whats wrong? i have a custom rom flashed called super jellybeam and when i power up my phone it says FUSION instead of Sony Ericsson.
Please help me
Thanks in advance
Stefan
U can change kernel
Fusion is a custom kernel and should have a recovery. If you can't access it then use a different kernel.

but the thing is, i was already in the recovery... are there any other button combinations known which i could try before changing the kernel?= im a bit of a noob and everytime i do sth like flashing and rooting
No, only one button takes you to the recovery.
How did you flash the kernel? Describe with details.
down-volume rocker
restart the phone and still pressing the down-volume rocker
I'm having the same problem. I have previously (6months +) flashed the stock Android 4.0 with the rootable kernel. I recently chose the factory reset option within the settings and it bootloops between Sony and xperia screens however no combination works to go to recovery, fastboot etc. I see that normally the led changes colour but it doesn't flash at all. I cannot force fastboot through adb as the phone bootloops before drivers load. I have tried powering off pressing the down volume, also l separately pressing the up volume, also the menu and finally the back button. I've also tried combinations of each too. Any ideas?

Sorry for the slow reply. Yep, tried that and no difference. I'm sure the led lit up at some point under gingerbread, but there doesn't appear to be any change with ics. That's when I thought you had to press the combination. Here, I've tried spamming all buttons and tried holding all buttons. Nothing seems to work. The phone just doesn't seem to boot enough for the flash tool to recognise it, so no hope though that method either.
Any ideas (to the many geniuses on here) ?

Well that's one of the perks of flashing a 3.xx.xxx.x ROM on 1.xx.xxx.x(4.4.2) firmware. You get to have extremely long boot up times and you won't have a proper working radio which leaves you with no wifi, data, gps, bluetooth...
Your OTA probably didn't work because of a custom recovery, not because it was rooted. Root does NOT prevent OTA updates from installing, though you might lose root access after the OTA.
If you're stuck at Boot screen hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, as soon as the screen goes black press volume Down + Power button to enter into Bootloader.
Flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Go into recovery and restore a nandroid backup for your device.
first thx alot for replaying
i already got TWRP installed but the screen is stock on boot screen but still manage on the back ground to load my current rom as i'm hearing the log in sound of the rom :S
so i tried to power it off without seeing by holding the power key the power option pop up and touching random parts of the screen but i failed
i even waited for the battery to empty and factory reset the phone with no use
is these is any way even by adb to power off my phone
plzzz help
thx again for replaying

By the look of things you are booted in OS but have no screen, hence why try and hold power button in and randomly tap to shut off?
I told you already to Hold Volume UP + Power button for about 10seconds and then hold volume down + power to enter bootloader.
You can of course also just plug it in and try to reboot to bootloader using adb, if you have USB debugging enabled. adb reboot bootloader
As already said just hold power and volume up for around 12 seconds then immediately press and hold power and volume down. This will always get you into the boot loader.
However if adb is working just use the command above. Reflash the original boot.img and you should be good.

i flashed the boot.img using adb and stock recovery that make it don't even continue to the rom but hang up
so i installed twrp-2.8.0.1 so now i got recovery working but i still can't get in the rom as it's still no screen
must it install a new rom or can you give me a stock boot.img (may be mine have an issue)
and if i need to install a new rom can u recommend one for me (just direct me to the link)
thx again now i got a new hope

Use that to get back to the stock rom for your phone. Then after installing the right one, get the OTA

Never leave your device with an empty battery. In any circumstances.
Because you might not be able to charge it. Recover the device while you have some power on your battery.
Remember, this is a unibody device. It's not so easy to pull out the battery.
Main information. F180, bootloader unlocked with teenybin, I'm on resurection lp rom.
Everything worked fine but I accidentally flashed the wrong file, now the phone is in boot loop. Though that is not the problem (I know how to fix it).
The problem is that there is no way I can access recovery. This happened to me before but I got lucky - computer detected the phone while it was in bootloop and I was able to use (adb reboot recovery). Next time I got lucky some kind of green screen showed up and from there I was able to go to recovery. Now i know that the most obvious way to go to recovery is through bootloader (vol up + power) but no matter how many times and in what diffrerent ways I try it I can't boot into bootloader it simply starts booting the rom... I am frustrated and have zero ides. Maybe you have some. Thank you in advance.
P.s.: i held down the power button for over 1 minute before attempting. And also download mode works.
If you can still boot into download mode you can try to flash the original firmware with the LG flash tool:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Don't worry you can use it for the LG Optimus G too:fingers-crossed:
Thank you for the idea, but I managed to solve my problem the same way as before. Use adb while the phone is in bootloop.
Hi Guys
I am writing here because I fighting with little problem (or maybe not so little if I write here) but back to case.
I got this phone GT-i8160. With stocked rom, and path for 648 ram, but i can't find a way to root it. I know for now that just look like veryyy dump question, but my main problem is that Power button don't work, so a lot of menus to boot is just unusable for me because they need boot option. I am looking for now a way to make this phone root by Odin or somethink like that. I try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881964, but still unluck. If anyone have any ideas how to root without power button please give me a sign, and btw What rom is the fastest for that phone ? Stocked one ?

You can't use the power button at all? or is it temperamental?
The stock ROM is actually decent for most people but the only drawback is the partition style as you'll need a custom ROM to run a different partition layout as the Stock ROM needs the layout that it has.
I've never seen any way to root i8160 via Odin in the past 2 years, as we've already got a flashable zip method that doesn't trip the flash counter, and a custom recovery flashable zip that even works in the stock recovery!
I can maybe help if you can sideload zip files to recovery.
Power button is broken, not signal, not sign, not anything, Dead.
I would like to try your ideas, but I don't know anything about this "sideload". Could you describe this method little more ?
Download mode

Can you get into download or recovery mode by doing this:
1) Power off and remove phone and the back cover
2) Remove the battery
3) Hold down volume down (for download mode) or volume up (for recovery) and the home button
4) Re-insert the battery
5) Plug in a charger cable
This should work as plugging in the charger mimics the power button for key combinations while off.
If any of these work, select the 'reboot' or 'restart option'
If they don't then you may need to buy a new phone!
Hello everyone.
So my phone got stuck in safe mode a while ago and the volume down button kept going off on its own when the device was on.
It never occurred to me that the reason I couldnt get out of safe mode was because my vol - button was pressed all the time when it was rebooting, making the phone boot into safe mode.
So I decided to upload a new rom, got into download mode via adb (adb reboot download) and uploaded a new firmware.
Now the phone is stuck in boot loop and I cant go into recovery or download mode, since the volume keys are not working properly and I cant boot into my phone to turn developers options on and do it via adb.
Do you guys have any idea what I should do to save this phone? Is it officially beyond repair?
Any suggestion will be very appreciated
Thanks
I would say fix the volume buttons you not going anywhere if those arent fixed.
