Hello All,
I have been trying to boot my SG2 in Download mode but unfortunately it never boots.
I have tried every combination possible (up volume/down volume + home + On/Off )
but the phone wont be boot.
Appreciate your help.
But it boots up normally?
That's strange. Turn phone off, once off, hold Vol down + home + power and hold until a screen comes up warning you about installing custom firmwares.
If that doesn't work you may need a usb jig.

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?
Fail to understand the problem be specific with current problem .

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.

Whats I going to try is tomorrow I will buy the USB JIG and force my S3 to download mode and try upgrade to JB 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 the latest Version ( March ) by Odin again. Any suggestion too??
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.

Thanks you for reply. I'm sorry that I cant get to safe mode. Now my problem is My i9300 stuck on LOGO samsung.
I CANT go to recovery mode by Press VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER.
Any solution can force my i9300 to recovery mode??
After update my Clockwork Recovery to 6.0.4.6, I tryed to enter on the Recovery Mode by pressing Up + Power + Home on reboot.
The recovery starts but it just shows "ClockWordkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6" and then the phone is rebooted.
After all, I came back to Rom Manager app and click on "Restart on Recovery Mode" button. Now my phone is stuck on a loop, it can't enter in Recovery mode and can't boot normally. Only thing I can do is enter on Odin mode.
I already tried to remove the battery for a few minutes but the problem continues when I put it back.
What can I do?

I try this, but the error stills the same (even in the 6.0.4.5 version).
I must have done the first recovery update wrong and now it's happening some inconsistency.
Fortunately I have made a recent backup. Now, I'm installing a new rom by Odin.
Thanks for the help.
Please help. My s3 can only boot into twrp logo and stays there while flickering every few seconds. I have tried the volume up, power button and home button thing and still it does nothing but reboot to the same place. In short, I cannot enter recovery mode to re-flash my phone.
What about download mode? Volume down Power and Home button?

What about entering download mode ? As it was stated above ? Then you can download last stock firmware for your region and flash it via Odin. Good source of original firmware is //samsung-updates.com/. Odin is available at many sites. If you run Win7 (or higher) on your PC you do not need any additional software, if not - proper drivers to see your mobile will be required. Then, if you do not want to stay with stock ROM, you can flash custom recovery and finally custom ROM chosen from dozens of them...
Recently did factory reset for my i9100, downloaded reboot manager and rebooted into recovery from that app.
Now I can't get out of recovery mode since power button doesnt work in there and my middle button is broken too.
VolUp and VolDwn work everywhere and I can turn phone on by power button.
Any help? I'm on 2.2.3
edit/ i also rooted the phone recently with kingroot via pc
Hi @noupls,
To get out of recovery mode, you need to take out your phone battery.
Once your phone is off, reinsert the battery. Then go into download mode (press and hold volume down + power button + home).
Once in download mode, flash stock ROM via ODIN (if you've already download the firmware files).
Saber.
With broken buttons, you're pretty much stuffed whatever you do with the device. You NEED to get them repaired/replaced ASAP.
In recovery, there should be an option
REBOOT SYSTEM (NOW)
With your broken buttons I'm pretty sure that'll be the only thing that works.
