Are you trying to go into download mode with the phone ON, or OFF?
To go to download mode:
1. turn phone off
2. hold Vol-Down + Home
3. while holding above buttons, push and hold power
4. should get a screen with green text saying something like "to continue, push Vol-Up, to reboot, push Vol-Down"
Get a USB Jig! They are really cheap
Solved! I've tryed with home+volume down+on/off button, and it worked. When i do volume down+home+on/off, it always pass download mode. Strange...

Don't release the buttons until you see download mode.

Hello everyone,
My vibrant is currently running bionix 1.3.1 and I cant get into recovery mode by using the 3 buttons combo. I have tried vol up down power, and vol down home power. But no luck at all. Every I mess up flashing I have to use odin to restore to defult then use rom manger to get into recovery mode. However I am able to get into download mode with vol up power buttons. Any idea whats going on and how I can fix this?
Thank you,
Yahase

Ok..do you want to get into recovery mode or download mode?
That doesnt make sense, but doesnt the rom have the options in the power menu (long press power).
Cant you use Quick Boot?
You could use ADB....
I dont understand the problem maybe. You sure you are doing it right?

You have to hold down BOTH the volume up and down button's, then press and hold the power button, once you see the "vibrant" in white letters pop up, release JUST THE POWER button...
I always have to use 2 hands to get into recovery....not talented enough to do it one handed.
Try it that way
Im sorry for the confusion...i wanted to get to the RECOVERY MODE by using the 3 bottons combo.
I know I can get into recovery mode by using ROM MANAGER or VOODOO WIDGET, or hit POWER button and reboot into recovery.
However, I want to try out CM7 room and the instructions said to use the 3 buttons combo. I have tried holding vol. up , down and power. Release power button and still holding up and down vol buttons, but phone just boot to bootlogo and not recovery mode.

Are you holding power all the way until the Vibrant logo shows? All 3 should be held constantly... once you see the vibrant logo, you can let go of power only (maintain volume buttons).
You are probably doing this, just making sure.

The ota from jfd to, was it ji6? Supposedly fixed hwl'd phones.
You could try flashing that. Can't hurt... Worst case, it doesn't work just odin back.

I hold all 3 buttons until the Vibrant word flashes once, then I let go of power only. Works every time.
Try that too.

Shot in the dark here but did you flash the speedmod kernel that was linked to the CM7 page. If so thats an i9000 kernel and I think that will screw up the 3 button combo.

Try flashing one of the 2.3 compatible kernels built specifically for the Vibrant. That might solve your problem.
I have a Vibrant that was hardware locked. I was able to correct it using the Odin
fix created by Untermensch. It was working fine when I did it back in Dec. Since then anytime I need to get into Download mode I always hold the Vol. up\down and plug in the USB. I was wanting to try out the CM7 ROM so I wanted to make sure I could still use the 3 button combo. Every time I try to do it to get into download mode it always goes into Recovery instead. I can still get into D\L mode the other ways but not with the 3 button combo. Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I screwed. Any help would be appreciated.
Yes. Get all your files and everything set up in odin (assuming that it was you are trying to do)
1. Pull battery out
2. Hold down volume up/down
3. Plug usb in (still holding volume up/down)
4. Put battery back in
5. Should be in download mode now
Good luck

I just wanna do a hard reset on the phone. I know under privacy there's factory reset I want to do a hard reset clear cache the phones running like crap. I did get into download mode. But this is not what I want. My skyrocket have an option to hold vol up and down the power button together and getting into hard reset mode. I'm trying this with the note but no luck. I also tried holding volume button down and power, puts me into download mode I'm not trying to hook up my computer to it. Thanks

the trick is to hold both volume up and down at same time then hit power button. once you feel the phone vibrate let off the power button. inside of there you will get your bootloader and not download mode

After installing foxhound my phone asked me if I wanted to disable the stock recovery flash or something like that I really cant remember, I selected yes because I wanted the foxhound not the stock rom. Now my phone wont turn on at all. Please help!

Would be quite unlikely to hardbrick from recovery flash, especiallybif you flash right stuff for S3....can you get to download mode, even if you cannot, try download mode combo and plug phone to odin, does it wreckingnize it? Does phone show something (galaxy s3 bootscreen) or screen stays compleetely black?

Screen is completely black and will not start using (Volume - + Home Button + On/Off), does not appear on my computer when connected, does not appear on Odin.

A usb jig will help you if you can get your hands on one.

I live in a rural area and I dont know what a usb jig is or how its used.
This phone cost more than the moon and the stars!!!! How am i ever going to fix this!!!!????
Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? I had a similar issue with my note 2. I flash something and it was just a black screen. Power button, home button, and volume button did nothing for me. I took out the battery and put it back in and I saw the samsung splash screen and went back to the black screen. So I had to take the battery out, hold down the volume, home, and power button and push the battery in. It was a pain to do. Having a second person may make it easier. But give that a go.

When you plug in the charger can you see phone charging or that green cell?

If you want to go into download mode you need to:
1) turn the phone off completely
2) hold the volume up and volume down button at the same time
3) plug the phone in via USB cable (while holding the two buttons) and wait for the download screen to show up
It's work thanks a lot :thumbup:
