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.

Not sure, I did it on windows using ODIN to flash a custom recovery. Then used the recovery to load and install new ROMs

You have to be holding the up/down vol keys when you plug it in.
Not all methods of accessing Download Mode have been added to the numerous stickied OP's about this issue, so here's a link to the procedure that works on mine:

that's the only thing that works but my comp wont recognize it and i installed the drivers and nothing also when i plug the phone into my comp the usb mounting icon doesn't pop up on the phone, so frustrated
The way I do it and it does work is two ways.
Of course make sure your drivers are installed
Turn off phone
Plug in USB cable to PC only
Hold Vol +/-
Plug in USB to phone
Wait a second and let go of Vol +/-
or
Download Terminal Emulator
Type
su
reboot download
I ran into this problem the other day as well. Instead of holding down the power button and both Volume + and -. Try just holding down the power button and Volume -. This worked for me. Every tutorial said to hold down both Volume + and -, but everytime I did it just took me to the "phone...!... computer" screen.

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.
Hi everyone,
I've created this thread becauce I am not sure if this has been mentioned.
I just recieved my new galaxy S3 (3 weeks agao) with french operator (Bouygues rom so nekwork or SIM locked)
I've rooted it one vecause I wanted to use it abroard with ODIN.
Since a few weeks; I've have some issues:
galaxy S3 reboot constantly (well some time)
bottom Volume Up doesn't work (but will work to start le recorery mode)
Home doesn't work
I wolud like to know if this issue commes from the oot I made , and if this can be fixed?
version of android is4.0.0.
The mobile has just been rooted once, I've still have the 'operator logo".
The mobile is saying 'sim locked" because I have recenty done a updrade of the software.
I wanted to root it again with ODIN, but ODIn do not recognise the port com when the mobile is on recovery mode (it does on normal mode).
If someone can help me, thad would be great.
thanks
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it. As far as the vol+ key and home key not working ... they should be. If your stock unrooted right now you can try to return it. If not.. try to get back to stock and ... return it. Those keys should be working.

But I don't understand!!!
When I press ' power + Vol UP+ Home" I am on "Android system recovery <e3>" mode.
I can not use Volume to move up....
What do you mean "

Or " move the highlighted selection bar"?? I don not have that option?
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it! What can i do to be in download mode ? Is it power + Vol UP+ Home". If this is the case, then it doesn't work...

AAAA PWR + VOL Down + Home = download mode .
Root plays no part in using with ODIN .
Does not reconise a port usual reasons not a motherboard port no USB drivers installed not Samsung Cable ..
Judged by your symptoms either phone is faulty or firmware/root is faulty .

Hi,
I can not use Volume to move up....so I can't move through the menus on the recovery mode.
CWM manager is installed but I cannot reboot the phone on downlad mode ( the phone is saying " this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. various features has been disabled.")
when PWR + VOL Down + Home = download mode; is only rebooting on the normal mode.
I hope this is only only an issue this the soft and not not phone....

Honestly I have no ideas what he meant by pressing volume up, then down, then up again- all that does is go through the selections.. also root doesn't give you CWM, that's something you have to flash or install.
But to answer your question about how to get into download mode- its the exact opposite of recovery. From power off- hold volume down+home+power... voilà download mode. Odin will now work and recognize your device.
And you do not have CWM installed. That's why you are getting limited options in CWM Manager... that and your phone's current recovery is Android System 3e Recovery

You can enter the recovery mode by vol up+home key+power key..
Just give it a try. I did that once by mistake and it turned off the hard keys in my phone. When I did it again it turned back on..
Who knows if it will work.. it withered for me..

I don't know what you mean. I am very familiar with CWM.. sitting there at the CWM menu and pressing volume up, then volume down, then volume up again doesn't do anything but move the cursor up and down

After entering cwm, you will have first option highlighted. Now press the vol keys as I described earlier. You will have a notification on the bottom of the screen saying "home key enabled/disabled"

After you enter the volume keys like you described you will have the bottom option highlighted.. "advanced". Nothing more. I feel bad for not seeing what your talking about. The only thing the volume buttons do, is navigate the highlighted bar up and down. I wish someone else would come in here and confirm so I dont feel like I'm crazy

Its not me that has the hardware defect. The other user was having issues but he doesn't even have CWM installed. I also noticed I am running a different version of CWM- v6.0.1.2 .. yours appears to be v6.0.0.0 (hard to tell from the video)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but couldn't the OP just install a compatible CWM using ADB? Seeing as how he can't get into download mode since he can't continue past the warning message using Vol+ button, ADB seems like the only viable method.
That should work!

Sorry but this not working, and I still have the home key not working.
But since yesterday, le Vol up is working (i did not do anything).
The other thing,before when I was pressing VolDown + Home + Power, le phone was rebooting. Now I can get to the option:
press Vol up to carry on or Vol down to cancel. But the phone do not respond...
what's ADB ?
Hello, I recently downgraded my Galaxy SGH-1777 back to Gingerbred since my Mystic's Glory 4.1 went beserk on me. The new one is 1777uckk6 and now I wanna switch to Cyanogen but my phone wont access Download Mode (Volume up+Power). If you know a way to reboot the system to download mode please let me know!
Do you have your cable plugged into phone and computer?

With the phone off, continuously hold vol + and vol - while plugging in the usb cable.

Try shutting off the phone holding the volume up button then plug in usb cord if that does notwork you may want to think about geeting or making a usb jig to get into usb mode

Hi,
This might seems simple but I can find an answer so here goes.
I have a dual recovery installed and I'm trying to get into Flashmode
When I press vol + up it goes into CWM
When I press vol + down it goes into TWRP
So what sequence will get me into Flashmode?
Is your phone plugged in to usb?

1) your phone needs to be off.
2) Then as you plug in the USB into your computer, hold down volume down
