I9300 phone and flashed I9300 firmware .
No recovery then download mode and flash stock firmware .
No download mode USB Jig to try for download mode .
That fails its a JTag repair .

Yes yes ^^^^in that order
Can you see the welcome screen or anything else? Or it's completely dead?
Pull the battery, wait for a few minutes, if you have a jig insert it in usb port of yor phone ( if you don`t volume down + menu + power buttons all at once). If you come in downloadmode flash a stock rom and after boot you can reroot.
If you don`t have a jig, order one from somewhere. You can not do without it.

What can i do!!sorry for disturbing u!!cheers !!AND TODAY I BUY A USB JIG FOR THE SGS2 BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
Use Odin to flash a new kernel (Clockwork Recovery for example) as PDA. This time do NOT unplug before its finished.
Remember to flash the kernel while you're in DOWNLOAD MODE: Vol down + Home + Power
Try to get into either recovery or download mode.
TURN PHONE OFF
VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER
IF IT WORKS, PLUG IN AND OPEN ODIN AND FLASH AGAIN
hope it works for you

So you mean your device is completely dead? No Download mode, no keys are working, right?
Have you tried to pull out the battery for some secs and put it back again?
Regards.
Yes try to remove battery and put back in, and if nothing works then you broke the phone, time to send it back (tell them you did samsung kies update and this happened)

If you have tried all the things suggested and the phone cannot switch on, then how do you think Samsung will switch it on?
Right now you have an expensive paper-weight. And to be honest, you deserve it. The instructions for flashing the ROM will have told you not to unplug the USB until the flashing process was finished and roughly how long the flashing time would take.
So you have nothing to loose returning it to Samsung saying that it happened updating their KIES.

hey dude try this.
1)Remove the battery from the phone.
2) hold the three button combo (VOL dwn + home + pwrbutton) simultaneously.
3) put the battery into phone while holding those buttons.
4) wait for a cpl of secs and see if the phone enters dwnld mode.
5) if dwnld mode shows up then u can use ODIN to flash back a stock ICS rom.
6) if not buy a cheap USB jig from Ebay and try.
Nothin and i buy usb jig and again nothing

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

USB jigs are great but most people only order one when they get a problem. I have not had a problem yet but I think its time to order a USB jig just incase

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
You can't get into download mode? Or it won't work at all?

wont turn on or go into recovery or download mode dosent even show batt on screen when i plug it in
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).

The jig or the Samsung device?
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.

hello, yesterday i have flashed a wrong firmware. i took the firmware from i9100.
my phone is i9100g. now i want to flash another firmware with odin but i can not get into download mode.
i take off the battery, put in again, press volume down + home + power button.
nothing happens. yesterday i could get into dlm, but today nothing happens.
i can start the phone. if i turn on the phone, i see the exclamation mark as here: http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/i/c/blg/cat/mobiles/rootingsgs2/rootingsgs5.jpg
how can i unbrick my phone an flash the original i9100g firmware ?
Are you sure there isn't any timing problems for the three button combo? Take out battery, reinsert. Press home, volume down and power simultaneously. Then volume up to continue. If it can go to the samsung logo, it definitely should be able to go into download mode.
Or, try a USB jig (its cheap and worth it, or you can make it by following plenty of tutorials here). It forces the phone into download mode.
Alternatively, if you have ADB set up and had USB debugging enabled on your phone, you could reboot into download mode by using adb reboot-download.

If you have screwed your device I have absolutely no sympathy for you. Maybe you will learn to read/research properley before flashing in future.
If you cant go into download mode try booting into recovery mode and restoring backup or flashing zip.
errr....i think he did get to download mode....he just didnt know what to do with it. NOW he's up for a solid XDA-READING night.
hell man, push those buttons like theres no tomorrow until u get to DLM!

* take battery out of phone
* launch Odin
* locate ROM you would like to flash
* plug ph into pc/laptop (nb, battery still out of ph)
* holding button combo for d/l mode insert battery (extra helper maybe needed)
* 'if' ph gets into d/l mode, flash ROM
NB, this saved my S2 from BSOD

I recently flash my Samsung Galaxy S3 to MIUI ROM (miui_i9300_3.6.21_92f38a8c3a_4.1), it is able to flash successfully. However, when in the middle of setting up the phone, the phone hang and auto power off by itself. I unable to power up after that.
I think my phone previous is the stock ROM ICS if not wrong.
I can't even go into download mode by pressing and holding Home, Vol down and Power button. I have also try remove battery and put it back and still can't go to download mode.
Anyone have any solution to recover my phone?
Btw, my phone already over the warranty period, so really appreciate if anyone can help me on this. Thanks!
