Hi Guys
I flashed my phone awhile bk with XXELLB/A off sammobile. I have now decided to root my s3. I hold Home,Vol + then power., it enter recovery mode, not download mode and therefore odin isnt picking my phone up. If i boot into android connect my phone up, Odin picks it up etc but obviously am unable to do anything further.
Any suggestions as to what i can do?:crying:

That takes me into some weird "recovery mode" where by odin doesnt read the phone. Not into "download mode"

Press volume up once you are in download mode
I'm guessing you didn't read what that "weird" recovery screen said

That is stock recovery, you need volume DOWN/home/power, and keep holding them

Does the phone boots up fine though?
Recovery access is fine?
Might be just a mechanical issue with the volume rocker. Or, you might want to consider using a usb jig to force it to download mode.
You don't have Advanced Power Menu settings on your custom rom? Do you have download mode available when holding power button in (phone already powered up)?
If not, you can try this "Reboot ++ (Quick Boot)" free on the Market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.krm.reboot
There are other ways, such as installing custom rom with APM, and flashing a matching CF-root kernel from Chainfire. This will give root, custom recovery, his own CWM manager app (allows rom nan-backups and boot straight into DL mode / recovery etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
At least with these methods, there shouldn't be any problem.
If you are trying to enter DL mode from power off, ensure you hold ALL buttons in, and don't release. In this order; volume down + home + power on. Once prompted, release keys and volume up.

your phone is not broke! Relax! Enter Download mode (Vol. down+ home+ power) and flash a stock firmware of your region or any other stock! Guide here
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS!
If the phone does not boot up and is looping, then simply remove the battery> Reinsert> enter recovery (vol. up+home+power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe and reboot!

are you sure the jig will work because i read online that that only fixed soft bricked phones, and mine is described as a hardbricked phone
if your phone could not turn on, jig probably won't work for you. It is best used for boot-loop or similar situations.

If home is a soft key then you have the AT&T SGS2. Go to that forum and ask for the key combination for download mode. Once you are in download mode flash a rom.

Get a JIG, it will put your phone into download mode.
Trying out the S3 Toolkit. Works until I get to actually rooting, not being detected by Odin. Reinstalled drivers. Tried different USB ports and USB cord. I tried manually putting my phone into download mode, Didn't work. Tried to manually put phone in download mode, When I press volume down + power button I get,

Hitting the volume down + home + power does nothing for me. Any ideas? Phone is second hand, no idea what previous owner did with it.

Do you have usb debugging enabled in development settings? If so look at item 1 in my signature, the easiest and safest way to root mate. Takes about 1 minute

Turn off the phone. Then press volume down, menu and power button at the same time and you get in downloadmode.

Yes I am having the same issue, a friend of mine bought it online from a website for $ 180.00 and I rooted 3 tmo ones and they were very simple and easy.
The problem with this one is that the phone never get's to download mode not even with the jig.
When you hold Volume Down + Home + Power, it takes you to a different screen, I will try to upload a picture soon so that you guys can see what's going on.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is more information on the device.
Model number: GT-i9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9300XXLE8
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALE9
Custom Build Version: V3G.12.07.20
Thanks in advanced hope to hear from someone soon to see if they are able to assist us with this issue.
Here that's the screen we get when we hold volume down + home + power button.
Any ideas how to get this phone into download mode?
Thanks again.

Seems like some custom software has been installed on the fone that has overwritten what is supposed to be there. Someone more knowledgeable than me would have to tell you how to get
rid of it. It would help to know where the fone is from.
First question has to be is this the International I9300 phone or some other model .

You can try the CF root as posted .
But if its not a I9300 then it may damage your clone .

the problem is that you can not even get in to download mode to do that, if you hold HOME+volum up+Power phone will go into recovery mode
and even in recovery mode no option can be selected

Best is to try to find a forum that deals with those clone phones to find a workaround if possible .

I wanted to install a new rom,I reboot my phone and I installed something what I found on my micro SD,I confused something with the file of new rom,and now it doesn't start, only what I see after 1 hour is the image of boot (Samsung Galaxy S II, like that image http://www.gophoto.it/view.php?i=htt...ootingsgs5.jpg)
What can I do to start my android ?
Sorry for my little english
it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.
about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin
take your battery out, put it back
hold:
volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode
reflash your rom, kernel and stuff
if nothing works download odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode
from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.
post with more details next time.

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.
with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.
if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u
Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).
if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.
Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..
