Weird problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] No download modus

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?

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

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 boot into recovery? If so, do a factory reset, that usually sorts looping after an Odin flash

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1 Europe) stuck on recovery menu

Hi guys, I've got the European version of the Galaxy player 3.6, and I'm stuck on recovery: The home button doesn't work, and I believe it's because I flashed 4.2 kernel by mistake, when on android 2.3.6. I can't turn it on, because it loads up the recovery menu. I have tried to search for this issue but I haven't found an answer, so I posted it here, is there anything I can do or is this dead for good? Thanks in advance

It's on the device..

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

Galaxy S3 i9300 Unable to enter download mode

Hi Folks
I have an old Galaxy S3 i9300 I'm attempting to resurrect. There's nothing on it (I can't remember what was last done with it or when I last used it). I'm trying to flash a bootloader through ODIN but I can't enter download mode on the phone. It comes up with the warning screen, if I try to press volume up nothing happens. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks
Does the volume key work? Try booting to recovery to test.
Download mode is an entirely separate and secure partition, if that is corrupt then you are unlikely to resurrect the phone.

It seems the volume up key is broken. I'll figure out a workaround - perhaps touch recovery, if I can figure out a way to get into recovery

Well I've been able to flash recovery using ODIN, but I can't get into recovery to load the ROM without the volume up key.. Any ideas?
I was hoping to be able to flash CM11 using ODIN, if that's possible. It doesn't like .zip files. Is there a download source for .tar.md5 versions that can be loaded through ODIN?
Thanks again
Fix the button, adb command to reboot to recovery might work in download mode but you'll have to research.
You can't flash custom rom via Odin.
