Get out of "download mode" - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

This may be a noob type question, but how do I get out of "download mode" if I accidentally did the "volume down + home + power" trying to get into recovery? I've tried pressing buttons and even launched ODIN again to see if it had an obvious option to reboot (without downloading a file). I'm afraid to pull the battery unless I hear that it's okay to do so. Please help!

You can simply hold the power button for 5-8 seconds until the phone turn off. You can also do a battery pull, but only if you're not flashing anything.

If you don't have the usb cable plugged in. I don't think it will go into Download mode.
Remember to release the Power button after you feel the phone vibrate once.

Pull out the battery.
Hold the vol buttons [up and down].
Have Odin ready.
Plug in your phone. [keep holding the volume buttons]
put your battery back in.
If nothing happens, press the 'on' button [still holding the vol buttons]
Odin back to stock.
remove battery, plug in USB to phone, hold volume rocker and insert battery, if you dont get download plug the USB into the PC

Can you get into recovery by holding Vol Down and hitting power and then pressing Vol Up to cycle to "Recovery"?
negative. phone will not respond at all. when not plugged into the wall outlet, it will not even turn on the display

Have you taken out the battery for a bit and then put it back it to see if that works or tried a different Atrix battery?

i was able to force boot into fastboot by powering up and vol up but not recovery. the battery was died even after a whole day of plugging into the wall charger. while trying to follow some recoveries while in fastboot, i hit the wall with error 0x180004
Two things to consider
If you're able to get into fastboot, are you not able to press "Vol Down" again to cycle the different boot modes and to get into RSD?
And, if you can still get into fastboot, what recoveries have you tried? There's at least 3 different ones available.
i am only able to get to fastboot via power button and vol up. power button and vol down will just flash the screen then goes blank.

What he mean is after you press vol up + power button and the phone display unlocked with fastboot menu, cycle with vol down to see the other menu.

Volume up and power button goes straight to fastboot. Volume down and power button goes to fastboot as 1st option, and from there you can use volume down to cycle through options and volume up to select.
fixed the problem by fastboot-w then force fastboot via power button + vol up and RSD lite 4.5.141

[Q] Phone will not turn on?

Hey so a couple days ago, my phone was working perfectly fine, and I plugged it in for the night. I woke up and wanted to check the time on my phone, but it was turned off for some reason. I tried to turn it back on and it just will not turn on. I've tried a hard reset, and the only response I can get from my phone is when I plug it into my computer and a white light appears at the top of my phone. Is there any way I can fix it, or do I need a new one?
Can you get into AP fastmode?
to get into fastmode, with the phone off, press and hold volume up+volume down+power. If you can, you can restore your phone
If you go into youtube and wearch AP fastboot razr, you can see some vid tutorials that are helpful

If you can't even get into AP Fastboot...i think you'll need a factory cable from Motorola.
Also try to power on the phone connected to the computer - maybe it'll work
when you power on the phone and see the red light...press vol up+down and power...wait till your screen just give a quick flash. then, press power again (don't release volume buttons). If it works it'll take you to the menu where you can fastboot etc

Help! phone won´t turn on

So, i was trying to install TWRP into my lg g3 and when i tried to go into recovery mode, it turned off and during the lg logo screen a little message appeared: error boot certification verify. Now everytime i try to turn it on the same happens. Also, my pc won´t recognise the device, can´t enter into download mode or hard reset it. And the red and blue leds are blinking all the time. Please help
hmmm, ok ive had that happen before, you corrupted the boot.img but theres a way! have no fear!
For some people its difficult, it takes a little skill to get the VS985 into recovery, remove your battery, then reinsert it, make sure its NOT plugged into a USB wire, press and hold power and volume down, once you feel the phone vibrate, let it go and immidiately press it again! keep holding, it may take some finesse to do it, but once you see the factory reset screen go down to factory reset and select it with the power button then press YES, and it will take you to TWRP, hopefully you know what to do from there.
plan B is, remove the battery from the phone, and reinstert it, plug a USB cable into a PC, make sure the phone is off, Press and Hold volume UP, and insert the USB cable, keep holding volume up until you see that youre in download mode
hopefully this helps
