[Q] No download modus - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
i have (had) a rooted S3 GT-I9300. I wanted to unroot and wipe it. Because i did not read carfully enough i uninstalled the SuperSU-app so i could not boot into download mode anymore. Everything i can boot in the the cwm-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 mode.
I tried to load a new firmware from an SD-Card, but it always tells me "Can't open /sdcard/I9300XXELLA_I9300OXAELLA_BTU.zip".
Any suggestions?

you should still be able to boot into download mode?
why not restore your NANDROID backup and have another go? more carefully this time

No I cant.
I guess i'll try to install a new kernel, how can I install kernel without download/recovery mode using ODIN?
you might have flashed wrong recovery which may be meant for other variant , check again you should be able to enter Download mode

Well I was wrong and I actually can enter into download mode! What should I do next? tried using Odin but didnt see any green box or whatever it should say.. ;\
So I got some news!
I installed different kernel using Odin, and the phone turned on! After that I went into recovery mode and installed an awesome rom called SuperNexus
Thanks guys, I had 4 hours of craziness trying to solve the problems I had

Hey, I'll explain you what I did ;
After I rooted my device, I booted the device and it worked. After that, I installed CWM, tried to turn on the device and it doesnt work! stuck on boot animation..
Soo...I downloaded SiyahKernel which is the most basic and for major users kernel. You can download it here :
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5
You install ODIN on your PC, open it, and click on PDA and open the kernel you downloaded(siyah kernel), you put your device on Download Mode (you press volume down, home, and power button. you will see the download mode screen, it will ask you to press volume up or volume down, PRESS THE VOLUME UP! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY ODIN WILL FIND YOUR DEVICE!). And than on Odin you press start. Hope it helped

[Q] messed rom

So its the first time im messing with that staff.i wanted to flash omega rom at my s3. i tried to install but nothing happened so i tried to wipe my cache settings. when i pressed that option my phone stucked. it shows me the galaxy screen, then boots and shows the android icon for a sec and then the same again forever. i put off the battery, powered on the phone and again that problem. Even when its closed and i want to charge it it wont show ths battery icon but will start that boot thing. any ideas?
Can you get in download mode? If so then flash stock Rom with Odin.....see the stickies at top of the s3 general forum for all basics

Did that, and as Odin programm said i had a succesful installation. Then my phone rebooted and started the same ... :/
Can you boot into recovery? If so, do a factory reset, that usually sorts looping after an Odin flash

How do you mean nothing happened? What happens when you power on the phone after first time flashed the omega rom?
And what happens when you try to hold volume up+home button + power button?

Like I said, check the Rom you downloaded to make sure it's ok, the right one for your region, and redownload just in case it's corrupt

Via Odin flash Philz recovery and boot into recovery format sd card system data cache via mounts and storage .
If you cannot then its a service centre repair job .
Are you sure its an I9300 phone check under the battery .

Will you please link to the stock Rom you are trying to flash

No, i said what's happening after that.
EDIT: A friend of my told me that, i need the appropriate firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
but with my phone being off i dont know how to find pda, etc

Weird problem

I installed Nightmare ROM, based on Samsung stock ROM 4.3. I found myself did not like it; because it was very laggy. I installed Philz Recovery through CWM Recovery (flashable zip), but I could not boot to recovery mode. I did factory reset, I found the ROM is performing better, but I cannot boot into Recovery mode or Download mode

Is really strange,i THINK that the only solution is use ODIN for flash again the recovery. For do that you need a bin or md5 or tar file,no zip file. IN xda find Philz recovery,last version,touch,for ODIN,flash it and i think that everything come back to normality

So i take it you have tried to reboot to recovery from Nightmare rom itself.. Also have you tried adb rebooting into download mode or recovery?and have you tried my suggestion of mobile Odin?...
If I installed CyanogenMod through CyanogenMod installer, would that restore the recovery?

Have you tried any of the suggestions that have been posted in your thread? When you make a thread and people respond with suggestions it is polite to say whether you have tried any of them and what the result was! This can help people who are reading your thread so that they can give you good advice..
(1) Did you try mobile Odin
(2) Did you try any of the apps on google play to boot into recovery
(3) Did you try adb to boot into recovery
I also think cm installer only installs the rom..

I am really sorry, I did not mean to ignore or anyone made a suggestion. I just wanted to ask about all possible solutions. I will try ADB, if it did not work I will go to Mobile Odin. I saw in Cyanogen Mod installer tutorial, it installs custom recovery. That is why I asked about it. I apologize again if it seems that I ignored you

samsung galaxy in boot loop(twrp)

i installed cm13 custom rom in my s3 then with twrp. it worked fine then i factory reset my phone then it starts with twrp screen and screen flashes and again twrp screen comes(screen with twrp written not options).i can just go to odin mode. what to do now
please help!!!!!
Never factory reset from a custom ROM. It is recommended to do it from recovery. Your reset has wiped too much including important parts of the OS. Flash another copy again.
I tried to downgrade my galaxy r but i cant and i am stuck into twrp.PLEASE HELP ME TO FIX THIS!!!

Go the the forum designated for your device, do not ask here.
As for your question, please flash your stock ROM again. Make sure to follow the steps properly and be very patient.

Thanks for ur concern but i cannot open my recovery it is just teamwin written on screen any other method plse describe.
Maybe it is just loading? If after waiting for 5 mins. can you enter recovery? If not can you enter download mode? If yes then download a copy of the stock rom from here and flash it via ODIN.

Can't you just go into bootloader by plugging the phone into a PC and holding volume up and power? This would let you flash a clean rom or recovery.

whenever i hold the power button and the volume up its just getting me into erecovery
Bootloader is hold volume down with the device plugged into the PC. If you want to get into recovery, remove the USB cable as that causes it to skip recovery and hold volume up.
try this method
it didn't work for me (I have the same issue as you) but I hope it works for you.
Good luck.
