Root [Virgin Mobile] Possible brick???

[Darien153]

I was installing the latest LS Rom and I did a clean wipe for a new rom. for reason during wipe it exited out on me and went to reboot. Now i'm not able to access recovery or download mode. Last time this happened to me I gave it a day or so. But it's not working for me this time... Any suggestions of how to at least access recovery mode?

Definitely do what he said. When I first rooted the GS3 and flashed a ROM, I had the same problems. What I ended up doing, with exhausting all of my other options, was removing the battery and letting it sit for a day. You probably don't need to let it sit for that long, but give it a try. Sometimes, the phone needs to settle down. And also plug it into your computer and see if it is recognized. If it is, try Rubkat's solution.

Thanks! I actually fixed it.. Somehow in my cases, If I somewhat "brick" it and I can't access the download mode and recovery. (Vol+down= recovery and Vol+up=download mode).. Instead I had to do Vol+home key+up for recovery and vol+home key+down for download mode. I did check the website that you said. Maybe I was doing something wrong but I was trying to get the SPH-L710 firmware but I had to create an account (and I think pay)...
