Anyone have a Jig in Montreal

Anyone have jig for the t989, located in Montreal. One which I could buy or borrow?
I can't get my phone into Download Mode. I've tried everything I can think of, nothing helps (took out battery, waited 10 seconds, plugged in battery, held volume up+down and plugged into usb in PC - will just go to charging battery icon, nothing else). There's something odd with the stock firmware. It will not lock the screen, even if I set a screen pattern lock. I've tried a reset from recovery and when it boots into the phone after the reset, it won't even go through the Google first time setup, just goes straight to main screen.
Want to get it into download mode to flash recovery and flash a custom rom.

Download quickboot from the playstore and try to reboot to download mode. This will only work if you're rooted.

I wish I had root. Unfortunately I'm stock since I had to send the phone in for repair. It's repaired and working great but can't get into download mode. Only other thing I see in the recovery is 'manual mode' don't know if that's of any significance.

Download mode is independent of recovery. You plug in USB, then press vol up + down combo to go into download mode

I thought the koodo tells versions were vol up + power..

[Q] Stock Sprint Nexus goes into reboot loop.

I have a stock sprint galaxy nexus that I got off eBay about two months ago. To my knowledge it is completely stock.
I has been working perfectly until last night, when it rebooted suddenly, showed the google logo, then the nexus animation. It then automatically reboots and goes right back to the google logo, then to the nexus animation and continuously loops like that.
I tried going into recovery mode by holding down the volume buttons and power button, and going into recovery mode, but I get to a image like this,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then it eventually goes back into the reboot loop.
Is there any fix for this?

umm maybe get a restore tool? and flash it back to stock. im on the VZW one but the gnex tool i use supports all the gnexs and i just double checked and sprint is on it .. do you know if the bootloader is unlocked?? itll show a padlock on the bottom of the screen when the google logo comes up ??

There's no padlock. I tried using nexus root toolkit,
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
But I can't get the drivers to install because I can't get the phone to turn on.
Am I doing something wrong?

Put it in fastboot mode. Hold volume buttons while pressing the power button.
From there you can flash a stock image either with fastboot or a toolkit

the tool kit that you have is the one i use open it and hit the flash stock button and for it to download the files even if you already have them. itll only work if you down load it again .. and than it should start downloading than after the a cmd terminal will open and itll restore it

I tried this but it says LOCK STATE - LOCKED,
Then FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILBOOTLoader Locked.
I tried clicking Unlock from nexus root toolkit, but I get ADB device was not found. Does the unlock need to happen when the phone is booted up? This would be a problem since I can't get the phone to boot.

not booted up but with adb enabled
umm honestly im out of thoughts ill test some stuff on my own device with my bootloader locked and try some stuff

I unlocked it with this:
http://www.android.gs/how-to-unlock-galaxy-nexus-bootloader/
And now I get the unlocked padlock. However when I click flash stock + unroot, the reboot loop still happens.

Stop using toolkits. Learn how to unlock and flash your phone manually (check out the stickies in the Q&A forum) and you won't have 90% of these problems.

How can I put SuperSU.zip in the phone if it doesn't boot? How did I even have this problem if I never unlocked or rooted or flashed the phone? Is it possible that this is a hardware problem?

I was able to get to boot into Clockworkmod recovery, I did a wipe data/factory reset and it still reboot loops.

than i got bad news
it could be an internal storage issue which means you gotta send it in to fix it
or donate it to me for kicks and giggles XD lol
but no seriously thats a possiblity

Thanks for your help. Doesn't everything I just did to it void the warranty? Can I still send it back?

Will not boot into Download/Recovery

Hey,
I was installing the latest version of Paranoid Android on my wife's phone, with the latest TWRP recovery and something seems to have gone wrong. I wiped the system and caches since her phone was on CarbonRom, and then installed PA along with their gapps. I then had the phone boot on, let the phone stay on the bootscreen (they suggest up to 5 mins), but after almost 7 mins, nothing. After some searching I've tried booting into Recovery and since that had not been working (just boots to system, which is the endless bootscreen) I tried getting it to enter download mode so I can put it back to stock, no luck, same bootloop issue. Kinda getting worried it could be bricked, any help is very much appreciated.

Use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to download a factory image and start over fresh.

How am I supposed to use this program if my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I can not access Recovery or Download mode?

The only other option is to order or make a USB-jig to force it into fastboot mode, which will then allow you to use the Toolkit. If that doesn't work, then the bootloader is damaged, and you will have to exchange the phone.

I don't think bootloader get flashed when using cwm or twrp. Just try to pull the battery, put it back in and then hold vol+ vol- and power to get in fastboot. Once in fastboot just flash everything you need. If you need help with fastboot just check for the thread in general section about returning to stock.

If you can get to fastboot, try scrolling to recovery, and then factory reset, and see if it boots.

I believe I got it into download mode last night after many attempts at every battery and button combo I could try. Unfortunately I hit start too soon and it just booted to system, I believe I will have to make a jig and go from there, if there wasn't such a big issue with just getting into the bootloader or download mode I would have been done a long time ago.

EDIT: culprits:
a) when switching ROMs, you didn't wipe data/factory reset.
b) when you're in FASTBOOT mode, you use the volume keys to go up and down, through the several options, until you see RECOVERY mode; THEN, you press POWER to boot up, INTO recovery mode, which will allow, obviously, to factory reset (mind that if you formatted /system again, you will need to reflash the ROM).
Note: you should still read the guide I linked below.
Pull the battery out again, wait a minute, Hold VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER and you'll be in FASTBOOT, not DOWNLOAD mode. Then PLEASE, go follow efrant's guide that's stickied on General section, and stop messing around with toolkits. Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

People what are you talking about? USB jig will never bring you to fastboot mode! It's always download (odin) mode.
If you can boot into fastboot I would recommend you to at least re-flash recovery.

Can't get into download mode

It goes straight to the battery screen. One time I've reached the stock recovery but that's it.
Hold all three buttons, vibrate , release power and hold volume up and down correct?

for download mode, it depends on the phone. The SGH-T989 is both volume buttons and power. The SGH-T989D is volume down and power. Or you can get a USB dongle that can do it for you (bridges 2 pins... I think it is pin 4 and 5, but I could be wrong).
OR if you can get it into any mode, you can use adb to get into download mode I believe by running "adb reboot download"

If phone is booting the rom that far and crashing on an app, I'd suggest to just boot into recovery and Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache and reboot to see if is fixes issue, or try a Factory Reset in recovery.
To boot into recovery: Power off the phone and hold Vol Up and Down and Power.
Let go of Power once it vibrates, keep both Vol pressed until you're in recovery.

If no luck, then I'd just flash another rom from recovery, make sure you have the right recovery version based on rom you flash, if your recovery is TWRP, use 2.6.1.0 for any JB 4.3 based rom, and most will suggest to use 2.6.0.0 or 2.5.0.0 for older JB 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 etc.

Freezing than rebooting, now device is corrupt and may not work properly?

Hi, so just recently my phone has been freezing and rebooting frequently. The likelihood that I can make it to the home screen after entering the password is a complete coinflip, and even if it does there's a good chance that it'll freeze then reboot again. I tried clearing my cache and eventually resorted to a factory reset; which one it's own experienced that exact same issue of freezing and rebooting. Eventually, I managed to set it up, then it rebooted again. This time it brought up a screen warning me that the device was now corrupt and may not work properly. I can't even boot into recovery mode now since that warning screen is the first thing to pop up, and pressing power will continue.
Any tips/advice?

Can you send out that screen?

It'll boot to the lock screen. Which seems to be the safe spot since I can turn it on and off there without any issue. But the second I enter the password it's likely to crash before I can even see the home screen.

Edit: I had a window of luck in which I was able to get back in. I went through some instructions(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-op6-op6t-how-to-fix-red-boot-screen-device-corrupt.3891479/) to get rid of the warning screen. Though it still frequently freezes and reboots, I've seen some posts recommending to flash a new rom onto it. Would this be the best step given the circumstances?

Sorry I think I goofed again. I couldn't get it to sideload, I tried many solutions then it just kept getting stuck at 47%. Now that corrupt error is back and when it boots I'm greeted to a black screen with constant phone vibrations instead of the lock screen. Would clearing system data in recovery mode do much?
