Hi everyone,
I've created this thread becauce I am not sure if this has been mentioned.
I just recieved my new galaxy S3 (3 weeks agao) with french operator (Bouygues rom so nekwork or SIM locked)
I've rooted it one vecause I wanted to use it abroard with ODIN.
Since a few weeks; I've have some issues:
galaxy S3 reboot constantly (well some time)
bottom Volume Up doesn't work (but will work to start le recorery mode)
Home doesn't work
I wolud like to know if this issue commes from the oot I made , and if this can be fixed?
version of android is4.0.0.
The mobile has just been rooted once, I've still have the 'operator logo".
The mobile is saying 'sim locked" because I have recenty done a updrade of the software.
I wanted to root it again with ODIN, but ODIn do not recognise the port com when the mobile is on recovery mode (it does on normal mode).
If someone can help me, thad would be great.
thanks
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it. As far as the vol+ key and home key not working ... they should be. If your stock unrooted right now you can try to return it. If not.. try to get back to stock and ... return it. Those keys should be working.

Go to recovery mode... If you have rooted your phone than it should boot in Clockworkmode recovery. now push VOL UP key than VOL DOWN key than again VOL UP key... it will give you a notification on the bottom of the screen saying "HOME BUTTON ENABLED"... there you go...

Thanks Guys.
But I don't understand!!!
When I press ' power + Vol UP+ Home" I am on "Android system recovery <e3>" mode.
I can not use Volume to move up....
What do you mean "
If you have rooted your phone than it should boot in Clockworkmode recovery. now push VOL UP key than VOL DOWN key than again VOL UP key... "????
Or " move the highlighted selection bar"?? I don not have that option?
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it! What can i do to be in download mode ? Is it power + Vol UP+ Home". If this is the case, then it doesn't work...
Thanks again

AAAA Only if you rooted with CWM recovery .

AAAA PWR + VOL Down + Home = download mode .
Root plays no part in using with ODIN .
Does not reconise a port usual reasons not a motherboard port no USB drivers installed not Samsung Cable ..
Judged by your symptoms either phone is faulty or firmware/root is faulty .

Hi,
I can not use Volume to move up....so I can't move through the menus on the recovery mode.
CWM manager is installed but I cannot reboot the phone on downlad mode ( the phone is saying " this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. various features has been disabled.")
when PWR + VOL Down + Home = download mode; is only rebooting on the normal mode.
I hope this is only only an issue this the soft and not not phone....

Honestly I have no ideas what he meant by pressing volume up, then down, then up again- all that does is go through the selections.. also root doesn't give you CWM, that's something you have to flash or install.
But to answer your question about how to get into download mode- its the exact opposite of recovery. From power off- hold volume down+home+power... voilà download mode. Odin will now work and recognize your device.
And you do not have CWM installed. That's why you are getting limited options in CWM Manager... that and your phone's current recovery is Android System 3e Recovery

You can enter the recovery mode by vol up+home key+power key..
Just give it a try. I did that once by mistake and it turned off the hard keys in my phone. When I did it again it turned back on..
Who knows if it will work.. it withered for me..

I don't know what you mean. I am very familiar with CWM.. sitting there at the CWM menu and pressing volume up, then volume down, then volume up again doesn't do anything but move the cursor up and down

After entering cwm, you will have first option highlighted. Now press the vol keys as I described earlier. You will have a notification on the bottom of the screen saying "home key enabled/disabled"

After you enter the volume keys like you described you will have the bottom option highlighted.. "advanced". Nothing more. I feel bad for not seeing what your talking about. The only thing the volume buttons do, is navigate the highlighted bar up and down. I wish someone else would come in here and confirm so I dont feel like I'm crazy

Its not me that has the hardware defect. The other user was having issues but he doesn't even have CWM installed. I also noticed I am running a different version of CWM- v6.0.1.2 .. yours appears to be v6.0.0.0 (hard to tell from the video)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but couldn't the OP just install a compatible CWM using ADB? Seeing as how he can't get into download mode since he can't continue past the warning message using Vol+ button, ADB seems like the only viable method.
That should work!

Sorry but this not working, and I still have the home key not working.
But since yesterday, le Vol up is working (i did not do anything).
The other thing,before when I was pressing VolDown + Home + Power, le phone was rebooting. Now I can get to the option:
press Vol up to carry on or Vol down to cancel. But the phone do not respond...
what's ADB ?

As the title says, I'm trying to flash 2.3.5 but when I press the three buttons I get the Android System Recovery 3e screen with 4 options instead of Download Mode. How can I fix this?
Hold volume DOWN + Home + Power in that order. Keep ALL pressed until DL Mode, then release all.

yes Volume up will take you into recovery (which will be stock recovery unless you install a custom one)
Volume down will take you into download mode.
Hi
I am trying to get into the download mode using the vol down + power the phone just seems to keep rebooting
if i hold the vol dwn and insert usb cable that works , the jig method also works

I have always used the following and never had it fail:
With a device that is turned off:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Insert USB cable - no need to hit Power
VolUp + VolDn + Power with no USB cable inserted will put you into recovery mode (3e for stock kernels, CWM for custom kernels). Note that you need to let go of Power when the screen turns on but keep holding VolUp + VolDn.
With a device that is turned on, I usually do "adb reboot download".
That button combo works for the i9100 version of the phone.
For the i777 our att version it its
1. Make sure phone is powered off
2. Have the USB cable attached to your computer but NOT your phone yet
3. Hold down both volume up and down (do NOT touch the power button) and plug in your USB to your phone
4. Accept the warning that flashing custom modified software your phone could cause problems
And bingo your in download mode
Or optionally buy our make a USB jig which will put phone intro download mode and reset your binary flash counter.

thanks, yeah I just figured it out, its weird that when the phone is completely shut off I do the volume up then press power button on, it takes me to fastboot, but if I keep holding volume up and release the power and push power button for the second time then it enters recovery every time, kind odd to me but it works
ok I was playing around again entering recovery manually and now I can`t everytime I hold volume up and power button and goes to fastboot, then I did the second press of the power goes right to fastboot again, is there something jack up with my phone?
hmm that kinda odd... what ROM are you trying to flash?
From bootloader screen use vol up twice then power, or vol dwn twice then power.

Glad it worked. This app is nice, but need to be booted.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
Also you can reboot into recovery from TiBU
Not sure if this is the proper section for this but thought I would post this here as I'm sure it would highly assist people in development and other tasks. This is the button combinations you need to enter each mode.
ODIN/Download Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Down
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen
Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode
Recovery Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Up
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button
As soon as the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button but keep holding Volume Up
When you see the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo (not just the word "Samsung"), right after that, the next screen you should see is your recovery
Don't let go of Volume Up until you see your recovery
It's not necessary to hold the Home button to boot into Odin mode, the combination for recovery is correct though.
So just power/volume down for Odin and home/volume up/power for recovery

No download mode
I've been trying to get into download mode for days and can't seem to figure it out. I have the Verizon g s4 sch-i545. I've done all of the key combos and even tried some combos + plugging in the USB cable. Nothing is working for me. Any help would be nice. Thanks

Home isn't necessary for recovery either. I just hold power and volume up, when the phone vibrates I let go of power and continue to hold volume up until I see the booting recovery message in the upper left.
So nothing? Nobody can offer some advice?
Moto not working
So I'm having no success with this. I went through all the steps including flashing the pre-release tar ball (MD2). All this went without fail, however once I launched Motochop and pressed enter to root. I get line Daemon not on. run port 5873. Daemon connected or on and then thats it. I don't get a notification at any point prior to me pressing enter or afterwords that I need to accept. It just stops and I get "you should reboot" from the notification bar. Have I done something wrong? I went through all the prior steps several times and I keep getting this error message.

Don't just push them. You need to hold both until you feel the phone vibrate. Then you can let go of the power button, but keep holding volume down until download mode starts.

Odin Error
I am having one heck of a time flashing to the GS4 with Odin. I follow all of the steps to a "t" but cannot get the custom kernal onto the device. I'm having no problem getting to download mode and all the setting look to be correct, however when I start the Odin process I end up with a "fail" every time. I have been looking around the web for a few days for an answer, but so far this looks like the best thread to get help.
Make sure the kernel you are trying to flash is compatible with the Odin method. A lot of kernels can be flashed via custom recovery. The first thing I would do is uninstall and then reinstall the Samsung drivers. Make sure you have the latest and it is compatible with your computer OS. You would be surprised how often drivers can screw up Odin.

Are you sure you are holding Volume up and down and power button at the same time? If yes, give us some photo of how the phone looks like after going into this "FACTORY MODE"
