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?

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.

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

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.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I don't think so. The okay is the power button..... At least on the Vibrant. On other phones it's the okay or enter button on the keyboard but never the home or back buttons. As a matter of fact the back button does what it's supposed to. Just my 2 cents.

Dude, did you not read his entire post or do you just not understand ebonics?
HIS POWER BUTTON IS GONE!!! If you have ever flashed a rom before with clockworkmod, you would know that the "Power" button is the Ok button, which he doesn't have anymore.

Have you done anything to the file systems? Do you think it will still boot with just a hard reset? You can reset if its been rooted with adb. Do you have the sdk installed on your computer? If not, install the android sdk from the code.google site, and find an adb tutorial on this forum with the search tool..

I can 100% fix this for you. I have a few extra buttons in stock. If you send me the phone, I can solder you on a brand new one. You are not screwed...
Just PM me if you are interested....

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...

Goclever A93.2 Bootloop
Sorry if this post is dead or problems are sorted but I am new to this site
I have just got and sorted 2 A93.2 tablets.
Switch the tablet off
Press and hold volume up and power until the full screen Goclever logo appears
let go of power button while still holding volume until the Android robot appears on his back with the red triangle appears
again press the volume up until the options menu appears (It may take a minute or two)
When options menu appears use volume up and down to select wipe data and factory reset, press the power button to accept the options that come up
Now wait for tablet to reset back to factory default settings and Android should reboot and load
Hey guys,
I have a problem with the screen of my Galaxy S3, I locked the phone and 2 minutes later when I pressed the power button to get to the unlock screen, it turned white (see the picture I attached). The phone didn't fell or hit something, nor enter in contact with a liquid, I mean for no reason I got the scrambled white screen. I took out the battery and reboot but once the phone boots there's the white screen.
If anybody as encoutered the same issue and found a solution please let me know.
Thanks
Can you still enter download mode or recovery mode?
