Today I was trying to get into bootloader mode on my SGS3 to get CWM Recovery using SDK tools. But when I type "adb reboot bootloader" it boots into normal mode.
When I try the Vol. Down + Power button it takes me to Safe Mode.
Please help me!
EDIT: I tried to remove the SD Card because I read another thread where this worked, but no success.

There is no bootloader mode in S3 AFAIK. There is recovery, download and normal boot mode. Boot into download mode and flash the CWM recovery through odin. Hope this helps!
Thanks
I know it's a bit late, but thanks, it helped!

OK, with testing I found a solution for the problem
Here the steps what i've done:
1. Load the Flyer with the power supply unit.
2. From PC Commandpromt. Start fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. I've get the message "waiting for devices". I've used a old CWM 4 reciovery Image
3. Now connect the Flyer and Start with "Power + Down". Here was the surprise that now the Bootloop stops and i see now the Boot Menu. So I change here to fastboot and flash the recovery Image new.
4 Rebbot now an voila bo boot more and I can use the normal cwm recovery mechanism to recovery one of my old images... Perfekt

Install Quick Boot (Reboot) and reboot to recovery. Or you can install Android Terminal Emulator and type the following code:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
basucally flashed a rom and it went bad and my phone wont boot, i can only get it into fastboot but plugging it in and holding volume up and i have no power button, so i cant select boot into recovery, is there any way i can through the cmd?
*edit*
I figured out how to boot to recovery, download a recovery img, and in fastboot cmd you go
Fastboot flash recovery_image_name.IMG
Then
Fastboot boot recovery_image_name.IMG

Depends on which version of the official software/firmware you had installed. You might check out this:

If you were on a KK set up then that recovery won't work.

all i want to know is, when im in fastboot is there some kind of command line or any other way i can select recovery mode besides the power button? my power button is broken, and i cant turn on my phone to reboot into recovery due to me soft bricking it.

So when you turn it off, leave it set there for a bit (guess you would have to let it die at this point...), and hold Volume Up and plug in the USB cable to the PC - you don't get into Download Mode? But as far as booting to recovery without the power button and not able to boot into the OS...I can't think of a way. There are no fastboot commands to get to recovery and without it booting to anything but fastboot, there is no way to utilize adb commands either.
I just officialy unlocked my bootloader because I Can't enter EDL mode somehow. Tried everything, EDL scripts, adb, holding the volume buttons...
The phone always restart the the system (it works fine). This is weird because I can't do factory reset either, it always boots back into my system.
Can somebody help me in this?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, why do you need to go to EDL mode instead just use fastboot.
Care to explain better?
The issue is: I flashed TWRP with fastboot. When I try to boot into it (Holding Volume up + power) i just get back into system.
This is just weird, as I can't do a Factory Reset either!
Download edl7.zip file from xda thread and go into fastboot mode and double tap on cmd file...your device will go in edl mode (red led blink)

EDL is for flashing fastboot files for locked bootloader as flashing through fastboot doesn't work. If your bootloader is unlocked you can just use fastboot. For TWRP are you getting any error while flashing it, if not you should boot into TWRP by holding volume down and power button with your phone turned off.

Hey man. Thank you for your help. But I think that I'm not being clear on what my issue is. I have some experience on flashing twrp and rooting. But never faced something like this before.
I can't even do a factory reset (from the settings menu) as the phone restarts and just goes back to the system. I flashed twrp but when I try to boot into it I get back to the system. I try to reboot into bootloader via the update menu and the phone resets and just get back to system.
It's just as if I can't acess the bootloader menu at all.
That never happened, try holding volume button before pressing power button. You can also try it through adb, make sure you have usb debugging turned on. For fastboot use adb reboot bootloader and for recovery adb reboot recovery

Yeah, tried that too. This is just way too weird to be normal. I'm sure that I did everything right.
How do you get into recovery mode? Running Android 10 Build QKQ1 and can't seem to access recovery mode through the power button and volume up combination.
Forgot the password, so can't reset the phone through Settings either.
try using PC with Minimal adb and fastboot
if anyone find any way to boot into recovery pleas reply
