So the phone is a S5 SM-G900P, it is stuck in the Sprint logo when booting and the volume keys are broken (power and home keys work).
Developer mode and adb weren't activated in the phone previously
What I have tried:
- adb (doesn't recognize my device)
- bought a JIG that gets me to the download mode screen
- I have flashed 3 official firmwares using odin (
G900PVPS3CQD1_G900PSPT3CQD1_G900PVPS3CQD1_HOME.tar
.md5
G900PVPS3CQC1_G900PSPT3CQC1_G900PVPS3CQC1_HOME.tar
.md5
G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_G900PVPU3BOK4_HOME.tar .md5).
- Tried flashing TWRP recovery via odin so i could do the factory reset without pressing keys, it gave me a pass and i was hoping that it took me to that screen after that but same story getting stuck
All the flashing goes smoothly, but like i said gets stuck in the sprint logo
on all 3
I've read that going into recovery mode and wiping dalvik cache and cache plus factory reset fixes the stuck in carrier logo screen, but with no volume keys i can't access recovery mode.
So i'd love to hear any input or any ways you guys come across that can help me
Much appreaciated
