Hi tehre, i'm having problems to get the phone into the download mode, i'm hoding the vol down key along with the power button, but the only thing i get is the phone showing Samsug vibrant and restarting over and over again.
Am i doing something wrong? I just downloaded an app from the market called wuick boot, i tried selecting the bootlader option, but same thing, the phone just reboots, and i get back to the phone menu.
Any help will be more than apprecciated.
Thanks in advance!
Is your phone rooted? I had the same issue and resorted to just doing it by using a terminal command on my rooted phone.
If you have a terminal app, just do this:
Code:

#reboot download

Just so happens I nearly bricked mine last night. Couldn't even get into recovery mode or see the charging icon when I plugged it in. Here's what I did (after much trial and error):
1. Removed SD and SIM card
2. Removed battery
3. plugged the phone into USB
4. held down vol-up and vol-down
5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
...and that got be from looking like I was dead in the water to download mode and a stock ROM flash.

Glad to help. I thought for sure my phone was bricked until I figured this out.
Work for New Vibrant?
Hey guys, I have a new Vibrant, Im guessing its the new batch of Vibrant because I can't use the volume up+down +power to go into recovery or download mode. I just wonder if this also works for my version of Vibrant because I did a lag fix and it bricked me... Therefore if this works, I would be so happy that I will cry. =( I'll try it anyways, but if anyone have a similar device to mine, please let me know I would love to get some info on it. =( I just needs it to be in Download Mode to flash it with ODIN back to stock. =)
By the way, would you mind telling me what stock rom you use? and software to flash it? Thanks a lot! I appreciate all of your help! Im really desperate to get my phone back to work... its been showing up vibrant screen make a start up sound and go blank... so scary...

Did you remove the sim? Is the phone plugged into a pc via the usb cord? From my experience, the vibrant will only go into download mode if it's plugged to a pc.
I think I also got the new batch of vibrant. Maybe we should get a list of release date and serial of the phone. Maybe we might be able to figure out which phone can or can not use the vol down + power. Mine is 8/13/2010 rs 170-0412

I will try that as soon as I get the phone back. My cousin has it now and he's trying to look for methods to help me fix it too. =( So i will go get the phone soon and try your methods of removing everything. I just wanted to ask you guys to see if you guys had that recovery mode function (volume up _ volume down +power) disabled by T-Mobile. Because if all of you guys have the new batch of Vibrant then most likely mine will have a chance too. =) But thanks for the reply and the tip I will definitely follow all of your instruction and update further about this case. Hopefully it would work with your methods for the new vibrant batch. No one here seem to post much threads about the new batch.

Yeah I definitely got the new batch since I cant use that recovery mode function like everyone else here does. I also got mine in August, 8/28/10. I dont have the box and phone to see the serial right now since it was taken to my cousin house to try and figure out a way to get it into download mode. =( But from the looks of it, anything from August is disabled... wonder hows the July one. My brother has a Vibrant from late July, which is July 23, 2010 and his recovery mode isn't disable at all. =(
I had the same problem last night... thought I bricked... my phone was stuck at the vibrant screen.. and my phone is the newer model.... but I still figured out a way to get it to let me send an ADB command.. I posted a guide in the android dev section... let me know if that helps...

To get in recovery mode i have to hold the power button and the up vol until the vibrant screen comes on and goes out, then you SLIDE and hold both vols when the vibrant screen comes up (for the second time) you SLIDE to the vol down and let go of the power button. I did 5 times in a row to make sure this works. Hope this will help somone

worked perfect thanks man you guys are alot of help love this site.
I have another story. I bricked my Vibrant trying to go back to stock using Odin it hung on a step. The brick to where the (Cell Phone ! Computer) comes up. After 30 minutes of panic trying to get my phone to go into download mode. I opened Kies mini, unplugged my USB connector plugged it into a new USB slot then hooked up my Vibrant and re installed the drivers. It found it. But I still couldn't do anything. So then I closed Odin reopened it unplugged and then re plugged my Vibrant back in. It found it on a COM port so then I tried a restore from there and it let me do it. Wow! I am amazed at how hard it is to permanently brick this phone.
So i rooted the phone and installed froyo rom with clockworkmod recovery or whatever.. the phone was working fine but then i downloaded OCLF and clicked unroot the phone like an idiot. Still worked fine thoughh... i wanted to reroot the phone but then realized i couldnt get into recovery.. so i did a factory reset and now im stuck on a boot screen that says galaxy s gti 9000 and on the bottom it says samsung..
Just ODIN back to stock... and continue to do whatever you want from there...

yeah, no problem!
Mine is BRICKED!!! OTA Friday got to 85% and went black. none combo of the Three Button Salute is not working at all. Odin can not see it.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is not totally bricked. Vibrants are very very hard to brick. Trust me, I have messed mine up more times than I can count,but managed to fix it. First off, can u tell me what windows version ur using, do u have the Samsung drivers installed, what button combination have u tried to get into download mode. I know you probably tried a ton, bit this will help me narrow down what will and will not work for you.

No download mode at all, no charging screen, nothing at all. Black screen! Power with plug in, Power and Vol up, Power and Vol Down, Power and up/Down. No luck. Running vista. I have used odin before with no problems.

Have Odin open and everything setup on the PC.
Then just take out the battery and make sure your phone isn't connected to the PC yet. Then wait maybe 5 seconds and plug your phone into the USB without the battery in the phone. Then press both volume buttons only and install the battery while holding both volume buttons.

I was using this topic to try to fix my phone from an earlier issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
I accidentally flashed a CM9 from the i19100 instead of the i777, and when I tried to flash the Siyeah kernal, the phone stopped working. I used the topic I mentioned above and tried to use Odin to flash back to fix it, and now the phone just loops in the AT&T logo if it's not plugged in to the USB, and just flashes the batter icon at me if it is plugged while I try to enter download mode.
I cannot find a solution for this. I tried the Vol Up+Down+Power, which didn't work, and since I can't get it to turn on, nothing else will work. I have no idea how to proceed.
EDIT: Fixed by getting into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power, instead of the three button trick. Might come in handy for others. I had the boot loop on the AT&T splash screen that seems to require a jig most of the time.

Cant enter download mode while USB is plugged in.
try Vol up, Vol down. Insert USB.
And if that works, next time, try searching more.
Flashing a CM9 from i9100 will not brick your phone, hell it should boot still. but get d/l mode and back to a i777 kernal, then recovery, and flash ROM. i777 ROM

It booted, but was giving me a Status 7 error when I tried to flash a nightly (because I didn't realize I had flashed a i9100 rom at the time, figured that out after some searching) so I decided to just use Odin to flash back stock.
And, no luck on the Vol Up+Down then plugging in. Tried with battery and without. With batter, just shows the charged batter screen like it did before. Without battery it just flashes the grey battery icon over and over.
I had a similar issue. to get to download mode use Vol up+down+power with the USB cable plugged in. make sure you hold them down until the download mode appears.

Been trying that for hours. Definitely not getting to download mode that way.
Odin still recognizes my phone when I turn it on. If I unplug it, turn it on, then plug it back in, Odin will recognize the phone, though I can't actually enter download mode.

Do you have recovery? do a factory reset inside recovery?
But you got bigger problem if you cant get into download mode. you sure your doing it right? sorry have to ask.
Vol up Vol down, hold both those while inserting USB, hold untill screen pops up.
Or a Jig.
No, no recovery. Splash screen and batter screen. Those are the only things I get to see.
I looked at the jig, but I don't have the supplies to make it off hand (no soldering iron), and no one I could find seemed to have as many problems with this as I was. Most of them just couldn't get into download mode and weren't having looping issues.

Yeah, I guess there's no other solutions. I thought maybe there was just something I couldn't find. I ordered a jig from amazon with overnight shipping. Hopefully it will work.
Try the following;
USB cable plugged into phone and motherboard battery out. Hold volume +/-. Insert battery. Continue holding volume +/- until you either get the battery charging animation or download mode.
If that doesn't get you download mode nothing short of a jig or jtag will..
Goodluck!

Nope, but thanks for the suggestion. My jig should be here tomorrow.
Alright, I can get into download mode and 3e recovery, but I have no idea what to do from there.
The phone will boot, but idk how to put CM9 back on it and I'm not really getting anything from search.

Yeah, I reflashed stock + root, then flashed a kernal with CWM, then flashed CM9, then Siyah. Now I'm back to where I was, finally.
It turned out that in the beginning, when I was having the bad boot loop problem, I could get into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power, which wasn't mentioned anywhere that I could find. I just did it for kicks while the internet wasn't work and while I was turning my phone on and off.
Anywho, after much work and me learning to use Heimdall, the phone is working. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
Hello, so i have a international S3 and have flashed ROMS since I got it. I am running Omega JB V28 with Syiah Kernel 1.7rc. All is fine for over a week. Just right now my phone froze and did not want to wake up, So I held down volume up, menu button, and power button to restart my phone. I accidentally let go too early before I saw the Galaxy s3 logo and now, I cannot start my phone??? I cant even go into recovery mode.... Any suggestions on how to get this to work??? thanks!
Try this:
Take battery out for 5 minutes and place it back in. Then do the required combination to get into recovery. If not try download mode...
If that fails... put the phone on charge and hopefully the battery will show up showing its charging. If not I can give no more advice.
Hope this helped.

Tried all of the above, took battery out, recovery didnt work. Battery out agin and download mode didnt work. Pluged phone in charge and not battery images. Tried recovery and download mode while phone plugged in charger and still nothing happens. It is weird cus I didnt prick my phone or anything, it was fine for a week. Just tried to restart it and let go to early and no this happens :/
As warranty is void you are best to source a USB recovery jig to access download mode before anything else .

You certainly pricked your S3 by at most flashing a non compatible rom for ur S3 (international) or u just messed up with something during installation,head to samsung customer care.

my phone has been rooted and flashed Omega ROM since may. The phone was working fine for 2 weeks after flashing the new Omega JB Rom v28 and it just shuts off and not power up now. I heard of people installing wrong ROMS or wrong versions of it then bricking their phons, but my phone was flashed the correct ROMS and was in a working state for 2 weeks since my last flashed ROM, never heard of a phone bricking out of now where after u've just used it... I am stopped and dont know how it happened :/ i ordered a jig and thought that might be my only way out. Anyone know if you can restart ur phone from download mode?

I may be ,isunderstanding what you are asking here but are you asking how to get your device in to download mode by using a button combo like getting in to recovery mode if so:
ODIN/Download Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key Combos: Volume Down + Home
While holding both of them simultaneously press the Power button until the green robot is visible on the screen indicating that handset is in Download mode.
Then press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Recovery Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key Combos: Volume Up+ Home
While holding both of them simultaneously press the Power button

A JIG is a usb end that plugs into your phone and forces it into Download Mode, all you would need to do it plug it in and it 'should' go into Download Mode.
Then hopefully you know what to do from there

I actually am familiar on how to go to download moe and recovery mode. The weird thing is that my phone is unresponsive. It doesnt go to download mode or recovery mode at all. With no signs of life. And this happened yesterday morning after i used my phone for like 5 minutes when it was fine. I didnt brick my phone cus I wasnt flashing anything when this happened I just tried to reboot my phone and once the screen turned off it never came back one... kinda wierd and un heard of. But I did order a jig so hopefully it can be forced into download mode and take it from there....

Im running into the same problem.
I can get to the download screen but unfortunately do not know what to do from there (tried Odin and heimdal but still wont boot)
Just as another note I was able to get to my DL screen by removing battery > installing battery > holding both volume buttons then plugging in usb.
Just in case u cant get to it.
If anyone knowledgable can pm me i would appreciate it (phone is not for this forum) because i do not know what to do after i get the dl screen up apparently.
THANKS!
im having the same problem did the jigg work

Only thing I can think of is a crap battery that needs replacing.. You could also go to a metro store and ask em to restore it to stock. Almost all of em have the Samsung factory device. If u can get it into download mode I have a thread where I put instructions on how to recover from brick. (After 6 days of trial and error).

I havnt used the jig but tons of people have with success. You can make one or buy one off eBay for like $10.
The device I have used before on someone else's phone, AND you can use it to unlock your phone.

Hi guys,
I'm have a GT-P7510 that won't power up. usually when the battery died i just had to press power button for 10 -15 sec and it boot up. But now, nothing. except when plug in a computer
the tab was shown as apx device in device manager.
i installed the apx driver and it is now shown as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
I search for a fix but i didn't find any yet.
You guys have any fix for me?
thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm a noob with these... i didn't rooted it and i did not mod anything.
I will need your help to get the info you want.
i didn't know how to get to download mode so i search a bit. from what i saw i have to hold volume- (wich is left i think) and power button at the same time?
I get nothing on screen.
Just windows sound that recognize a new hardware plug in usb port.
PS: buy the way if you have any suggestion about any update or mod i should do, let me know.
Thank you!

If you're not rooted you might want to take it in to be looked at.. If you don't want to do that..We can Odin a one-click onto it and get you back up.. From there you could root or put a custom ROM of you're liking on it.. But first if I was you I would drain the power all the way off it..( tape the power button down or use rubber bands ) for a few days.. Then plug it in..if the charging animation comes up then..let it charge..when it gets above 60 or so percent..you can try toturn it on.. If that doesn't work and you don't want to go the Odin route hit me back and we can try a factory reset.. I'll walk you through it.. Let me now you're decision...

Did you have usb plugged in when you tried to enter download mode?
If so, try without usb.

OK..I'm back home... .. So you have the device unplugged.. Then hold down the power button and volume down button( closest to power button ) at the same time...( hold for a min ).. If it starts showing the Samsung animation keep holding until a screen comes up with a box like object on the left and an android on the right..I think its an android on the right..Might be something else,but there will be just two things ( choices on the screen )...If you get this far.. I'll walk you through a factory reset..Or we might just wipe cache first and see if it boots.. Then a factory reset..

Put it on the wall charger and see if the charging animation comes up....if it does...let it charge.. I think we can get it into recovery or download mode if not recovery....if we get to recovery... You will probably have to do a factory reset,but I want you to tell me what options you have in recovery.. been a while since I seen stock recovery..can't remember ..We'll proceed from there..if the charging animation doesn't come up..let it charge anyway... I need to see where it stands so I can help you proceed correctly.......Just looked at stock recovery..we will have to do a factory reset...
@Gil81
If you need any missing files I can set up a dropbox (which I was thinking of doing anyway)...I have boot images, recovery images, system dumps from early releases, nvflash, boatloader and all the rest. Think the battery drain looks the only option for him at moment.

Ok so i get nothing on screen when i tried to power it up or boot in download mode. after a 1:30 charge time.
i let it charge for 5 hours and it didn't change anything.
I opened the tab and unpluged the battery press the power button for a few seconds and plug it back. Didn't change anything.
Is there something else i should try?
Thank you

Hi guys,
I'm have a GT-P7510 that won't power up. usually when the battery died i just had to press power button for 10 -15 sec and it boot up. But now, nothing. except when plug in a computer
the tab was shown as apx device in device manager.
i installed the apx driver and it is now shown as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
I search for a fix but i didn't find any yet.
You guys have any fix for me?
thank you

Since you state that it powers up into apx mode and can't seem to get it to do anything else. I'm afraid you're in a situation I encountered over a year ago. I was unable to find anything to help while only in apx mode. I ended up sending it in for repair. The battery drain method has work for some and I used to point people to the post. It seems that most people having issues similar to yours were not getting any results from it recently.
Hopefully someone does have something that will help you get back out of apx mode.
I wish you the best of luck.

What do you mean ( opened the tab )...I got ya..had to re-read the thread..Sorry..but I'm helping 4 people in two different threads... .. I think the power drain might be you're only solution at this point...if you have already tried that by pulling the battery..then youre going to have to take it in I think...Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...let me now what ya think...
