sure you're in the right forum if you have a home hard key ??
key combo for vibrants is vol up and down and power or vol up and power with GB bootloaders
doing it with kies it automatically goes to download mode
and it doesnt matter if rooted or not

The button combination can be tricky to get into either download mode or recovery, just keep trying it eventually it should werk. You should probably look into purchasing a jig. Good luck!

if all the above fail and are familiar using adb you can just adb reboot download .that will throw you into download mode. just a future reference.

I have always used the following and never had it fail:
With a device that is turned off:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Insert USB cable - no need to hit Power
VolUp + VolDn + Power with no USB cable inserted will put you into recovery mode (3e for stock kernels, CWM for custom kernels). Note that you need to let go of Power when the screen turns on but keep holding VolUp + VolDn.
With a device that is turned on, I usually do "adb reboot download".
That button combo works for the i9100 version of the phone.
For the i777 our att version it its
1. Make sure phone is powered off
2. Have the USB cable attached to your computer but NOT your phone yet
3. Hold down both volume up and down (do NOT touch the power button) and plug in your USB to your phone
4. Accept the warning that flashing custom modified software your phone could cause problems
And bingo your in download mode
Or optionally buy our make a USB jig which will put phone intro download mode and reset your binary flash counter.

For anyone like me that finds this thread, With my I777 you had to hold power, vol up, and home. Hit accept and then you could plug in.

[Q] safe mode 4.1.2, 4.0.4 volume button ,camera problem??

I have a i9300 s3. I upgrade to 4.1.2 jb , my phone become safe mode. however i try to get out but i failed.
1. restart by press back button
2. restar by press volume up button and other also cant get out from safe mode.
downgrade to 4.0.4
I press volume down key+ home key + power to downloader mode, and downgrade to 4.0.4 by odin. after downgrade 4.0.4, i go to recovery mode, but my volume own button not working. i use odin running to cwm recovery mode, press up volume button until can wipe factory reset and reboot, it' out of safe mode. but the volume down button no working after boot. When I press volume down key+ home key + power it still can go into downloader mode.
After 1 week, my phone auto download software upgarde and install to 4.1.2, but it cant cause cwm recovery mode disturb it. after that my camera no function at all. now i wanna try to go downloader mode again, but my phone volume up button also become no working at all to go downloader mode, but it working when the phone is on.
Actually whats was going on?? how can i upgrade to 4.1.2 ?? or i just can stay at 4.0.4 but now my camera no working.
Anybody looking for this problem before?? :crying::crying::crying:
That's one hell of an unlucky upgrade. I don't know mine upgraded/rooted without problem. Can't you just return to stock once you're able to enter download mode?

First thing, and i don't pretend to be rude, write your question in the right way.
There are Forum Rules for all of US.
The second one, the download mode, is by pressing volume DOWN(not up)+HOME+POWER. The one you are choosing as far as i comprehend by you спасибоwords, leads totCWM (either stock or 3d party one).
The third, if you somehow managed to downgrade to ICS(4.0.4), just press OTA update
Cheers!

Actually when the phone boot on ICS 4.0.4 the volume up button is working and the volume down button is not working.
Ya, i know that the download mode is by pressing volume DOWN + HOME+POWER.
I can going to page WARNING!! a custom OS --------------- after need press Volume UP to continue and Volume DOWN to cancel, but the volume up and volume down button also not working.
Maybe is because my volume DOWN button problem, so make me headache.
I know that CWM (either stock or 3d party one). But i need it to wipe my factory reset after downgrade to 4.0.4 by Odin.

When it was JB 4.1.2, It will boot on SAFE Mode, However how many times i reboot , reboot by press back key or up volume button too.
I cant get off from SAFE mode.
At the moment, I try to downgrade to ICS 4.0.4 by Odin. I can going to download mode. after Odin pass, It stuck at the samsung logo.
I try to go to recovery mode by press VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER. I can go to recovery mode but the Volume DOWN not working and i cant go to wipe reset.
I going to download mode again and running PDA with CWM tar. I use CWM recovery mode to going to wipe reset by press VOLUME UP button only. Pls try to understand this.
Once I wipe reset, I can boot my phone on ICS 4.0.4. The moment all function ok, camera too. Just the Volume DOWN button not working.
I use it for a week, Software upgrade automatic but it failed. It stuck on CWM recovery mode. I try reboot again, the Volume UP button is WORKING, the camera not working. The big problem is I cant go to download mode again, just stuck a WARNING page, and my volume UP and DOWN also not working when i stuck a warning page.

try installing phillz touch recovery in odin using the tar file you can use touch to go up and down also try installing stock 4.1.2
Or you can just issue an ADB reboot download

I also have a button stucked, which you can easily see in the bootloader, as it scrolls automatically all the options. It is hw issue, but wanted to know if there is a kernel or someway in which I can disable the volume rocker entirely.
Is there anyway to disable safe boot when booted up into safe boot. I can install apps but they will not open due to the fact that I am in safe mode. Anything will be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Flashed new ROM without emptying cache. Can't enter recovery mode. HELP

Hi all
I have used search and I can find results that pertain to other devices but not specifically Galaxy S3 (I9300).
I've been trying to flash a new ROM onto my phone.
To do this:
- I rooted the phone using Odin and installed CF Root + CWM package.
- After doing this, I did the 3 button reset to enter Recovery mode. However, the phone always entered into Download Mode (Odin Mode / "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"). I was never able to enter Recovery mode.
- So I couldn't use the Recovery mode to install the ROM.
- Instead, I used ROM Manager to do the install (Cyanogen 9) but I did this without clearing the cache.
The result:
- Now if I leave the phone to boot, it enters Cyanogen 9 boot screen but stuck here looping.
- if I try to enter recovery mode to clear the cache, it only gives me download screen.
I've tried a few different uploads to get recovery mode (and it successfully uploads the files I send using Odin) however the phone still enters download mode after the flash.
I'm worried about doing the wrong steps if I follow advice from other sub-forums relating to other devices.
Any tips?
Many thanks.

The three button reset is power button + Home + Volume up to enter into recovery..
You are going to Download mode because you are pressing Power button + Home + Volume down key ...
Read this guide
Recovery mode is volume up while pressing home and then power.
Try this first and see if you can access recovery, if not then flash Philz recovery via odin and then boot into it to clear data, cache etc.
Make sure you read and understand how to use both odin and recovery before you start, otherwise you can brick your phone.

Thanks MoonBlade.
Funnily, I was pressing power + home + volume down to get download mode.
I tried pressing power + home + volume up, which successfully got me into recovery mode.
Strangely reversed.
This seems to have resolved the problem.

I don't know about the clones but the actual key combination for the Recovery Mode is Home + Power button and that for the Download Mode is Vol Down + Home +Power. Now check whether you can enter the Download Mode. Also specify the rom you installed. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

thank you for the quick response. But I tried all combinations listed above, but can not enter into recovery mode and download. I made a backup of my rom before flashing the phone. I tried to connect the phone is turn off it shows me in the device manager the hardware mt65xx preloader for 2 to 5 seconds and then disconnects.
I'm looking for a way to connect my phone to flash SP tool to restore with the original rom. I saw a tutorial that speaks of a test point on the card in the phone but I do not cmprends well. if someone can explain me this proccedure. Thank you for your answers.

Well I don't know if it's only my ACE, but it does take some time to enter in recovery mode, maybe you just didn't wait time enough? ...
For example, okay I'm a noob, buuuut...
I've noticed that when turning ON my ACE in the "normal" way, I mean, booting it up normally it displays a small triangle on the upper left of the display and when doing the key combination to enter recovery mode this small triangle turns green, now,(once again I say that I don't know if this is normal with other users) in my case I have to wait like 10 to 15 secs!!! .. the display does go on and off like 3 times, and pay attention, because you are pressing the menu button, and sometimes the recovery mode does boot up but the first option from menu is "reboot system now" and because you are pressing the menu button for too long it automatically reboots the device...
Just throwing some ideas...

Bricked my phone

Hello,
after i tried to root my phone, it just stucks with the message that no recovery is installed...
I can't go in the Download mode because, i figured out that my vol+ and vol- buttons aren't working.
My pc isn't recognizing my phone either...
Is there any option to recover it?

Whats wrong with your volume buttons? You cant do anything unless you can get into download/ recovery mode

just keep holding vol down home button and power until you get into download mode. it took about 15-20 sec
