I get one developer phone (HTC RADAR).
enter boot menu, then i choose "Factory Test Mode"...
Now i see just this plant on my screen... Cannot exit from it.
Try press anything..nothing help..
Any idea?
How did you get into that mode? Try holding down the power button for 10 seconds or pluggin the phone in.
remove the sim cover and insert it back. It should autorestart.
That's the factory flash its only availible on developer devices that means you have to JTAG it sry or try to pull out the battery cover or press the shut down button 30 sek long
I still don't get how you got into this mode. Do you need a JTAG to get into it?

Hey, I am from India. My Vibrant got Hard Bricked while flashing a Custom ROM. I sent my Phone for Repair to Texas, and now it is back at my friends place in Washington D.C.
Strangely, he said to me that when I ordered the phone through him about 3 months back, he said, that the Download Mode and Recovery Mode both worked on the Phone, and when the phone came to India and after using it for 2 weeks, I noticed that only the Download Mode worked and not the Recovery Mode at all.
Is it possible that any application had disabled the Recovery Mode during that period ?
Now, he says that after Repair, the Recovery Mode works on the phone and not the Download Mode. I have mailed him all possible combinations to make the Download Mode worked and are listed below in detail.
Are there any other Combinations than the ones mentioned below and any other suggestion than making a Jig and through ADB to get into the Download Mode?
Method 1:
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Plug the Phone into the Computer with the USB Cable.
-Press and Hold the Volume Up and the Volumed Down Buttons simultaneously.
-Now Press the Power Button and once you get the Yellow Digger Download Icon let go of it.
-Unplug the USB Cable now from the Phone.
Method 2 :
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Press the Volume Up Button and the Home Icon on the Touchpad simultaneously.
-Now Press the Power Button and once you get the Yellow Digger Download Icon let go of it.
(Also try using the Volume Down Button in this method if the Volume Up Button doesn't work.)
Method 3 :
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Connect the USB Cable to the Phone and also the Computer.
-Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.
-Press and Hold Volume Up and Volume Down Button.
-Press Power Button until the screen goes black, then let go of Power only.
-You should now see the Yellow Digger Download Icon and let go of all buttons.
-Unplug the USB Cable from the Phone now.

Thanks for the quick reply.
But the problem is that Vibrant has no Support in India. And the last time I flashed something, I regret it, as it took about 1 month of hassle of shipping it to US and from there to Texas.
Hence, I am going to avoid flashing anything onto it till the time I gather $250 to change the Motherboard of the Vibrant to the one of the International Galaxy S I9000, as that has the support needed in India, in case of a Hard Brick.
Any other Button Combinations other than these will be of great help. Thank You.

I always just:
Have USB plugged into computer
USB is unplugged from phone
Hold volume up + volume down
Plug USB into phone
Hmm... okay, rather than re-read your OP, did you try:
on pc open newest version of ODIN (make sure it's the newest, noob guide has a link to it)
connect USB to PC (not phone)
Phone, take battery out... put it back in
press and hold both volume buttons.. make sure both are pressed in and held
plug in USB to phone (should already be connected to pc, with ODIN open)
Keep holding... a second or two passes....
Download mode?

+1 this method always works for me
would the Quickboot app work for you I wonder....
I want to recover the phone and return it to stock and can't get the phone into download mode.
I press and the volume down button, then press and hold power button for a few seconds.
The phone starts up and I get a CwM VooDoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x screen.
When any option is selected the screen goes blank and the bottom buttons light up. Then nothing else happens, I've waited up to 15min.
So how do I fix this?
i think i can help u. let me know if u have resolved this.
phone off. battery out.
Plug the usb cable into the computer but not the phone.
hold volume down on the phone and plug in the usb cable as you hold down the button.
You should enter download mode.
NM figure it out
Hi. I did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586570 this to my phone and since then every time I turn it on the black screen with AP Fastboot flash failure appears and not the Motorola logo. Not that I turn off my phone that often, but it's frustrating. I have to pres Vol Up/Down + Power button and choose Normal boot everytime I want to turn on the phone. Please explain me how to unroot or I don't know, I have the phone for 5 days now. I want it to look like I've just opened the box
P.S. Already tried Factory reset, doesn't help, still the black screen when I press the power button to turn on.
P.S.2 My system version is 651.167.3370.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01 if it matters.
Really? The link I posted is from this forum. Come on. I should be able to undo this flash I've made and really return to fabric settings.
i'm trying to enter flash mode but i always fail to...
All the phone do is boot up normally into system
I tried pressing back button while plugging the phone in usb
I tried pressing POWER+HOME+BACK and then pressing BACK after phone going black... but it doesn't go black anyways
I don't know what to do... The phone itself works normally and i can enter into xrecovery

Take out your battery for about 15 seconds or so. There may be some static buildup causing this.
And if you want to do a hard reboot, just press home and power together with the usb-cable connected. It might enter flashmode automatically, but it can't hurt to press the back-button when the screen goes black.
Thanks for the reply...
But none of the methods work. The phone doesn't hard reboot and i tried removing the battery for 30 seconds and nothing... doesn't work.
Is there a adb command to reboot into flashmode?

I don't believe there is an adb-command for that. Are all your buttons working properly? You can also enter CWM and choose reboot. Same thing, as soon as the screen goes black, hit and hold the backbutton, leave the usb-cable attached.
And make sure the program is asking for flashmode before you try entering it, otherwise it won't stick.
i will try it...
All the buttons is working 100% on system
EDIT:
i'm unlucky with this phone...
pressed reboot and then pressed back button... booted directly into system
these are the only ways to get into flash mode?
is it possible that my custom operator rom is blocking it in any way?
Hi. I am desperate. Two weeks ago I had to remove the power button of my S3 because the phone kept rebooting.
Now, I installed a ROM that ended into bootloops, so I need to enter into recovery mode. With the power button, this would be easy, however since I don't have it, I don't know what to do. I installed Boeffla kernel and Validus ROM when I got the boot loop.
To turn the phone on, what I did was to remove the battery, put it again, and then plug the phone for one second and unplug it. I tried pressing down volume + home while doing that, and it doesn't change anything. The pone will simply try to boot the ROM.
Is there any way to enter into recovery mode without a power button? Otherwise, I will have to throw my precious S3 to the trash, and I definitely not want that! Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Install adb on your computer and type
adb reboot recovery
or
use a needle to press the power button along with volume up and home button, yes it is possible I have tried it
or
fix the power button, it cost me 2 Canadian dollars so it's probably the best option (yes on a Samsung store)
