[Q] App for download mode? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any application that can get me into download mode without the need of pressing any button or plugging USB cable in the phone?
There's an app called Quick Boot which allows to boot into "recovery" mode without any buttons or usb cable? Is there one for download mode?

adb reboot bootloader
or use Advanced Reboot (CM10.1)

Or use any reboot app from playstore (need to be rooted) or terminal emulator use this command:
su
reboot recovery

Yeah:
su
reboot download
From a terminal emulator.
Most custom roms have extended power button to reboot into download mode

Home button dead - how to boot into download mode?

My Home button is no longer working - is there any way of booting into Download mode without it??
If you have root,
1) download Terminal Emulator
2) enter "su"
3) enter "reboot bootloader"
or...
from adb: "reboot bootloader" (don't really know if it does work on adb... from Terminal Emulator)
and don't ask anymore questions in this section please, it's against the rules
Easiest way will be through and, just adb reboot bootloader.
Or you can use an extended power menu if you are on a custom rom you might need to check developer options if your on aosp.

[Q] 5.1.1 Sideload issue on Mac

I'm having trouble sideloading the new 5.1.1 OTA update through ADB. I'm completely stock on my N9 and when I use adb while the device is booted everything works fine (adb devices lists my N9 and I can issue commands to it). When I boot into recovery however adb can no longer find my device and thus can't sideload the update.
Searching around I can find a lot of threads about Windows users having driver issues but I didn't think these applied to Macs. Am I missing something? Is anyone else having trouble using a Mac to sideload the OTA update?
Thanks in advance for anyone's help!
Enable USB debugging
Shut down tablet
Press and hold power and volume up together. You will reach a menu.
Select HBOOT
Select recovery
You will see the android with exclamation mark and "no command".
Press power + volume up
You will enter recovery menu
Select adb sideload
Push update
Worked fine on my Mac!!
Is that what you are doing?!
@crispydc,
I don't know anything about Mac's but when you are in stock recovery, and are at the menu for adb sideload you can try unplugging and replugging your USB cable.
^^^ this happened to me on my work computer (windows) just do that step after you select adb sideload.
Ah! Stupid on my end. I was trying to sideload from the screen with the Android logo - I forgot to actually enter the recovery menu and select the 'Install update from ADB' option. Sorry for the noob post and thanks for your help!

ADB reboot recovery (you'll see Andy on his back with red !)
To access recovery menu hold power and press & release volume up
Use volume key to navigate to Apply update via ADB
On your PC type in command prompt "ADB sideload " file name""

Try to unplug and replug in your USB cable while in recovery.

Question Magisk Module Crashes

Recently I have been trying to install a magisk file. However, due to some reasons, the module crashes my phone. It's not a boot loop; instead, my phone just doesn't boot. The recovery and bootloader are fine so I can flash the stock boot.img to boot my phone correctly.
I searched on google for solutions. Almost everyone says I need TWRP to run magisk manager in recovery or use the adb shell command. The thing is there is no TWRP for this phone and I cannot even boot so that adb shell won't work.
Is there any method to uninstall the one module that makes the phone crash without wiping my data partition?
How far do you get into the boot? The ADB seems to be exposed for a couple of seconds before the module causes boot to stop, in my experience, so you can snipe in a command to disable the module.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
I ran into a similar problem. I was able to fix by doing the below--maybe it will work for you too.
1. Use fastboot to install the regular boot.img (the one without root)
2. Start phone as normal
3. After the phone is booted (you don't need to unlock), press and hold the power button to get the power menu, then press and hold Power Off to reboot to Safe Mode. Make sure you have your USB cable ready--you want to press ok, but then plug your USB cable in, hold the volume button and get into fastboot instead of letting the phone reboot direct into Safe Mode.
4. Once in fastboot, reinstall your rooted boot.img, then reboot
5. When the phone reboots, it should now reboot into Safe Mode, but with root. You can then use "adb shell magisk --removemodules" to remove the offending module.
6. When you reboot again, you should now have a properly booting phone, with root, but no Magisk modules.
