Sounds like the power button has become jammed (the part on the board, not the little plastic piece you touch on the bezel of the phone. See:

[Q] Download mode - can't continue

So, I've just gotten myself a Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100 running stock - well, touchwiz - 4.0.4), but for some reason I can't figure out I can't get past the Warning screen when entering download mode.
I've done the 3-key combo, but when I see the warning screen the volume up button just doesn't do anything, whilst volume down responds perfectly well and reboots the phone. However, when booted, the volume up button doesn't have any issues. I'm puzzled, and can barely find any information regards this issue.
This phone is still completely stock, I haven't rooted it or anything. I was just following the guide on cyanogenmod (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide) and entering download mode is one of the first steps.
Any help much appreciated!

If you can't use the up button to get into download mode, try THIS method on for size.

It certainly sounds like the power button is shorted out, send for warranty repair.

this happened to me once. i removed the battery for a few minutes. then put it back and immediately entered the recovery mode. i hold the combo for a long time so that the samsung logo appears for 3 times and after the 3rd time, i released the combo and it entered the recovery mode. may/may not work for you. but worth trying? sounds funny but worked for me unexpectedly!!

[Q] Galaxy s3 gt i9300 bootloop

Hey guys im facing problem with my friends galaxy s3 its stuck on the first galaxy s3 bootup screen then reboots to an infinite loop i cant enter the recovery cz once its launched it reboots automatically and the download mode once i press button up to continue (to flash stock) it reboots :/ any suggestions?
In download mode take the battery out before pressing volume up, while connected to a pc. Also check the power button isn't shorted out, if it switches on as soon as you insert the battery.

Galaxy S3 no power button, stuck at boot loop after flashing 6.0 cyanogenmod 13

Hi everyone,
I flashed the newest ROM from cyanogenMod to my old galaxy s3. I did this with the phone still on. After flashing, the phone is stuck in a boot loop. The problem is that I have removed the power button completely because it was faulty(even from the board). Has anyone had the same problem, or has any ideas what to do?
Thanks

I never had the same problem but you can try to hold vol + and home to go in recovery mode, or vol - and home for download mode
I don't have a power button. What you're saying can be done if you press those buttons along with the power one.

buy a USB JIG is a device that automatically enter download mode
Short the power button connections, if you can get at them.
