I think my i9100 suffered a power button issue that requires /efs/imei/keystr fix. However before i knew the method to fix it, i somehow flashed cf-root to my MIUI installed phone to flash siyah kernel again to make the power button work. If i flashed cf-root, it stucks at the screen but no problem since my power button works before the phone is turned on.
now, the power button doesn't work when the phone is off and on. I can't access recovery due to this. Anyone got any alternatives? Really need help:crying:

A USB jig could help
Sent from my potato running a potato.
have u tried using a usb jig
so if i plugged in the usb jig, it will straight away reboot into recovery without pressing the power button?
edit: just saw a youtube video on it, guess plug in and it will directly go to download mode....but i wonder, if it is in download mode, can i just plug it out and plug in my usb to pc to flash a new kernel?

yeah, no problem!
Mine is BRICKED!!! OTA Friday got to 85% and went black. none combo of the Three Button Salute is not working at all. Odin can not see it.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is not totally bricked. Vibrants are very very hard to brick. Trust me, I have messed mine up more times than I can count,but managed to fix it. First off, can u tell me what windows version ur using, do u have the Samsung drivers installed, what button combination have u tried to get into download mode. I know you probably tried a ton, bit this will help me narrow down what will and will not work for you.

No download mode at all, no charging screen, nothing at all. Black screen! Power with plug in, Power and Vol up, Power and Vol Down, Power and up/Down. No luck. Running vista. I have used odin before with no problems.

Have Odin open and everything setup on the PC.
Then just take out the battery and make sure your phone isn't connected to the PC yet. Then wait maybe 5 seconds and plug your phone into the USB without the battery in the phone. Then press both volume buttons only and install the battery while holding both volume buttons.

I was using this topic to try to fix my phone from an earlier issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
I accidentally flashed a CM9 from the i19100 instead of the i777, and when I tried to flash the Siyeah kernal, the phone stopped working. I used the topic I mentioned above and tried to use Odin to flash back to fix it, and now the phone just loops in the AT&T logo if it's not plugged in to the USB, and just flashes the batter icon at me if it is plugged while I try to enter download mode.
I cannot find a solution for this. I tried the Vol Up+Down+Power, which didn't work, and since I can't get it to turn on, nothing else will work. I have no idea how to proceed.
EDIT: Fixed by getting into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power, instead of the three button trick. Might come in handy for others. I had the boot loop on the AT&T splash screen that seems to require a jig most of the time.

Cant enter download mode while USB is plugged in.
try Vol up, Vol down. Insert USB.
And if that works, next time, try searching more.
Flashing a CM9 from i9100 will not brick your phone, hell it should boot still. but get d/l mode and back to a i777 kernal, then recovery, and flash ROM. i777 ROM

It booted, but was giving me a Status 7 error when I tried to flash a nightly (because I didn't realize I had flashed a i9100 rom at the time, figured that out after some searching) so I decided to just use Odin to flash back stock.
And, no luck on the Vol Up+Down then plugging in. Tried with battery and without. With batter, just shows the charged batter screen like it did before. Without battery it just flashes the grey battery icon over and over.
I had a similar issue. to get to download mode use Vol up+down+power with the USB cable plugged in. make sure you hold them down until the download mode appears.

Been trying that for hours. Definitely not getting to download mode that way.
Odin still recognizes my phone when I turn it on. If I unplug it, turn it on, then plug it back in, Odin will recognize the phone, though I can't actually enter download mode.

Do you have recovery? do a factory reset inside recovery?
But you got bigger problem if you cant get into download mode. you sure your doing it right? sorry have to ask.
Vol up Vol down, hold both those while inserting USB, hold untill screen pops up.
Or a Jig.
No, no recovery. Splash screen and batter screen. Those are the only things I get to see.
I looked at the jig, but I don't have the supplies to make it off hand (no soldering iron), and no one I could find seemed to have as many problems with this as I was. Most of them just couldn't get into download mode and weren't having looping issues.

Yeah, I guess there's no other solutions. I thought maybe there was just something I couldn't find. I ordered a jig from amazon with overnight shipping. Hopefully it will work.
Try the following;
USB cable plugged into phone and motherboard battery out. Hold volume +/-. Insert battery. Continue holding volume +/- until you either get the battery charging animation or download mode.
If that doesn't get you download mode nothing short of a jig or jtag will..
Goodluck!

Yeah, I reflashed stock + root, then flashed a kernal with CWM, then flashed CM9, then Siyah. Now I'm back to where I was, finally.
It turned out that in the beginning, when I was having the bad boot loop problem, I could get into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power, which wasn't mentioned anywhere that I could find. I just did it for kicks while the internet wasn't work and while I was turning my phone on and off.
Anywho, after much work and me learning to use Heimdall, the phone is working. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
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

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....

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!

Hi guys
I'm facing a problem i'm not very comfortable with...
Just bought for my wife a Galaxy S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5.
I planned to root it and migrate him later on to latest Sammy on JB...
As per many tutos, to root the tel, you inject ( using Odin) the right CF_root from chainfire once the telephone is in the so called download mode
and here comes the problem...Vol- & Home & Pwr do nothing...It just boots the tel...No DL mode at all !!!
Are there GS2 around with no DL mode ? or is there a way to force this DL mode ?
( I've tried a suggestion which did not work..i.e remove batt , wait 30s, press vol-,pwr, home and reiensert batt without releasing the keys)
Any suggestion more than welcome

Tried a USB jig? They are intended to force DL mode. Never used one myself though. What you've already done would have been my first port of call. Also, have you tried recovery mode? (Vol up, Home, power). That way you can tell if its the vol. down button thats not recognising the keypress. On my tablet, that's the case, it takes a bit of poking/fiddling to get into recovery mode as my vol up button is sketchy.

You can try something.....turn off phone,and pull out-reinstert battery.Don't turn on yet!Now start pressing and holding the VOL DOWN button only.With phone turned off,and pressing the VOL DOWN key,put in charger.Keep holding the button,until you see Download mode.If that doesn't work,maybe VOL button is faulty.Also,try a Jig.It has to work
Yeah...the USB Jig was THE solution...and without yr suggestion I would'nt have had the idea to use it..and this for a good reason...My own GS2 does not react to USB jig ( the only solution to enter DL mode is the key combination) where my wife's GS2 enters DL mode ONLY with this Jig...

Ah this is ennoying...because it means that, now i'm on JB 4.1.2 this jig may not work properly...
Why do I bother ?
Simply because I have discoverd that this new GS2 has probably an H/W problem i.e The Vol Down key seems to be dead and that leads to another question Are the Vol keys simple H/W stuff, establishing contact or not or is it under software control ?
Browsing PhilZ recovery, I've seen a brief on screen message "Vol Down enabled"followed immediately by "Vol Down disabled" which I've not been able to reproduce..
So i'm in the blue....H/W or S/W problem
BTW, there may be a solution I had not thought to...
the power button , when hit, takes me to a 4 way reboot in which there is among the options, reboot in download
this may be the solution i'm after...and which I'll test as soon as my wife lets me approach her phone...lol
thks fr yr concern
I would be very careful when mucking around without the proper hardware functions. I would advise getting it fixed before continuing. If something goes wrong and you need to use the hardware combo to get into download mode to flash stock, you're stuffed. End of story. Messing with phones with no escape plan is a bad idea.

Hello there, I own a galaxy s3 for quite a while and I remember I rooted the device and flashed the Revolutionary S5 ROM via odin long time ago (I did all this with the help of several youtube videos because I am an ignorant in this matter).
But well the problem started when I was going to make a factory reset to the phone because I lent it to a friend and when I got it back I just wanted to clean it and wipe all the info. I entered to recovery mode (twrp) and by accident I wiped all the phone had including te OS. I noticed it because when I was going to power off the phone in recovery mode it told me that there was no OS.
So now the phone is in a bootloop, because when I try to turn it on I only see the samsung galaxy logo and thats it, the same when I plug the phone to the power it only shows the battery screen.
I also have the problem with the volume up key that doesnt work so I cant access the recovery mode. Only the download mode using the volume down+home+lock button combination but still i cant do anything because of the volume up buttom that doesnt work.
If someone can help me with this problem I would really appreciatte it. Explaining me like a 5 yo.

No I dont, I can enter download mode by pressing the volume down + home+ lock button. But after that I cant do anything else because in download mode it tells me to press volume up to continue and volumen down to cancel. And unfortunately my volume up button doesnt work.
Any ideas?
The jig will put the phone into download mode, no buttons required.

Any other way I can get into download mode without the jig?
I don't know of any other way to get into download mode.
The jig works with many models of Samsung phones.
Op states he can access download mode but not recovery. Flash the latest stock firmware twice via odin and factory reset in between flashes. Make sure the firmware matches your phone region etc and must android 4.3.

Sorry to bother you but can you tell in depth how to do that without using the volume up key, because I cant fully access the download mode. I just get stuck in the screen that says press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel.
Solved.
Maybe its not the best way to fix it but I inserted a little blade into the volume buttons and took the button out, I clean it a little bit and inserted it so that the volume up key could function (not fully). So that way I accessed recovery mode and flashed the rom I had using an extsd card where I previously copied the zip of the rom. Now I will flash the stock rom twice and who know from there.
Thanks all for your answers

Ah, ok then that isn't download mode at all.
Looks like you'd be best sending it to a repair shop because at this point you need the buttons working. You could dismantle the phone and short the button pad with a small metallic object but if your skills don't range to that i would advise against it as it is very easy to damage the component when shorting it out manually.
