Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Down
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen
Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode

So i'm attempting this again as I write this. I even pulled the battery to ensure the device is off. I'm holding volume down. Now i am pushing power until the phone vibrates and i quickly let go of the keys. Samsung Galaxy S4 every time..........:crying:
I rooted my previous device so I am not a complete tard. Something is funky.

You can use ADB.
adb reboot download
If you are rooted, you can also use terminal.
su (grant permission)
reboot download

IMO, If you don't know what ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) is, you really shouldn't be messing with your phone. I highly recommend you Google or search for information and instructions of what it is, and how to use it before going any further.

The first step of modifying your phone is to read directions carefully and actually understand them. Don't let go of the keys as soon as it vibrates. Wait until the download mode disclaimer comes up on your screen.

[Q] Booting into Recovery

ok i just got an atrix and im aa bit uncertain about booting into CWM. i know on other phones ive had, i had to boot up with volume down and power. i tried that and nothing works, boots up like normal. tried volume up and power to. my bootloader should be unlocked, the boot screen that says motorola dual core says unlocked in the corner. CWM is installed, i flashed gapps, cuz the person i got it from forgot to put them on. any idea on how i can fix this?
(Download Rom Manager & install the cwm from itif your cwm is not working?)
Power + volume down takes you to the options, there you need to scroll down (with volume down) and use volume up for choosing android recovery.

Strange.. Are you keeping volume down pressed until you would have seen the options, you're not letting go before that or so? Is the volume rocker still functioning ok?
Otherwise just try quick boot from the market.

im holding it in until i see the logo, and yes the rocker is working properly. and i know i can boot into recovery by other means while the phone is on but what if i get a bootloop. i wouldnt be able to fix it, unless i had a computer with me so i could use adb to enter recovery

Hold power and volume down, keep holding volume down until you see the word fastboot appear. Then press the volume down button (7 times I think), until you see android recovery, then press the volume up button.
That should do it!

I never see it say fastboot, it just says unlocked up in the corner. All the time, when I'm not even trying to boot to recovery. I'm assuming that means the bootloader iis unlocked. But I do exactly what you guys are saying and I never see fastboot or anything like that

Something must have gotten messed up when you flashed a rom.. I'd say try flashing a fruitcake and start from there.

Rooting issues

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

Has the phone been stock right along? Or has it ever been flashed with custom firmware? I suppose one of the updates, maybe even the latest one, could have installed a different secondary bootloader, which is where the button configurations are stored. But anyway, the odd button configuration is most likely why Phalanx7621 asked if you have the I777.
I don't have a clue why the power button won't select items in 3e recovery. Have you had any problems with the power button otherwise? Power button failure is not too uncommon with this phone. Usually it doesn't fail catastrophically, but little by little. Of course, there can be other explanations.

Guys what would you suggest me ? I have no clue i called ATT they tried to help me and Samsung SUPPORT, they said i need to reflash it?
You need to flash the phone back to stock. Go to this thread and follow the instructions, except instead of using the download link in item 2a or 2b, which is 2.3.4 Gingerbread, go to the download repository and use the download link for 4.0.3 ICS stock, which is in the last section at the bottom of the post.

[Q] HELP! I think i hard bricked my S4

Anyone's help would be FANTASTIC!
I downloaded and installed LiquidSmooth 2.6.5 on 06/15/13 wiped everything necessary, went to reboot and it said i wasnt rooted would i like to install SuperSU, i installed it and it rebooted to a black screen and wont go any further. all it does is vibrate every couple of seconds. Is there ANYTHING i can do to get back into TWRP recovery? stock recovery? flash the stock image with Odin? it wont boot into TWRP, or download mode.
Please help, might have bricked my hard earned Verizon S4
Hi,
I've recently just installed the TeamWin Recovery Project.
my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 has been rooted, and I even checked with some application on the Google Play market, and it has indicated that it indeed was rooted.
But I still kept on getting the annoying "some application need attention blah blah blah..." in the notification bar, and when I click it it gave me options reboot now or reboot later.
Of course I clicked "reboot now" and after a while, I messed up on my cyananogen mod I guess and I recovered using TWRP through a back up that I have already made prior to flashing the CM 10.1. And it was working normally.
Then I some how went to the TWRP again and it said that my phone wasn't rooted any longer! So I swiped the "root the device now" knob thing and ever since then it has been stuck in the "samsung" screen with the unlocked labeled as "custom" underneath.
Even if I try to do Volume Up + Power + Home button it doesn't send me back to the TWRP screen, rather I see the indication that TWRP has been initiated, but it just crashes and turns my phone off.
When I do Volume down + Power + Home button I can get to the Download mode, but it doesn't seem like my computer can recognize the device.
After the Download page and I push the Volume Up button for the actual download mode on the top left it says
Odin Mode
Product name: SCH-I545
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
CSB-OEM_Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And when I do get to this point my computer does recognize the phone and I know this by hearing the usb connection sound that a computer makes.
How do I get my phone back to factory state so that I can maybe once again trying rooting it again?
Thanks in advance.
and I apologize for so much information even if the rules say that I should be brief as possible, but it felt like the details were needed. (correct me if I'm wrong).

I can't get into the download/odin screen. When I press power + home + volume down it just vibrates.
I don't understand how I could have hard-bricked the phone just by formatting.
Just before rebooting, CWM prompted me "saying root access might be lost" and I hit ignore.

I have the same issue after flashing Liquid-JB-v2.5-OFFICIAL-d2vzw yesterday 6/19/13. Wiped everything, factory reset, hit reboot, it said my device appeared not to be rooted and asked if i would like to install SuperSU. I said yes to install it. When my device rebooted, I got a black screen and my phone won't go any further. It just vibrates, every 2 or 3 seconds. I can get it into download mode. I tried to flash the stock firmware back onto it but when it reboots after, it goes back to black screen and vibrate. Thanks.

Just curious on something.... Not trying to be a jerk. Why are you sending pm's instead of replying in the thread? If your pm is helping this person I'm sure it could help many people if it was in the thread. Unless your a Verizon employee with secret unbricking files or something

Responded to you via PM as to not start any issues here.
I am in a similar situation, I am able to get into Odin mode, though my model number is SCG-I545 if that makes a difference.

Cant boot into TWRP 3.0.1.0 Manually

I installed no name rom and im getting a system UI has stopped working and i could never manually enter twrp I had to use an app to boot into recovery every time. Any advice on what to do
Manually
Power Off
Hold Volume Down
Hold Power
When at the LG Screen Let Go of Power for 1 second and then repress power
Go through prompts saying yes to them

just to be clear, i never let go of the volume down button correct? Ive been holding the Vol down and power button non stop and ive tried releasing both of them and repressing them and i still got nothing, but i havent tried releasing just the power button and repressing it

Correct. Do not let go of the Vol Down Button until the white screen ask you if you want to reset. And answer YES to both questions.

IF you do have TWRP installed it will take you to it. If you dont then ... Good luck.
You can always download Terminal Emulator
Type in
Code:
su
Press Enter
Code:
reboot recovery
Press Enter
Instead of Terminal Emulator, You can download G-Script Lite.
Its basically just like Terminal Emulator but you can save commands like reboot recovery.
Its the only thing I really use it for since my Power Menu doesnt have the option yet.

I cant use my device at all. When it boots up i get system UI stopped working repetitively. I can boot into download mode and fastboot mode. i had TWRP installed and had no name rom running and booted into TWRP then did a data, dalvik and cache wipe and started getting this issue so i believe TWRP is still installed. Im running windows 10 and the LG Flashtool stops working while trying to read the phone information
