How??? If i go to download mode start the upgrade but the phone at 100% rebooted and he doesn't power on
All I asked is if you can. I dont even understand your response. You do volume up instead of down when booting to recovery.

OK, well it appears you have been using kies. At this point you need to download Odin and flash a full factory image from samsung-updates.com

You need to do a search for that. I'm not going to retype what many guides have been made for. You may find a better guide in the Samsung galaxy S4 forums. You will need the drivers and Odin provided on one of those guide threads, plus the newest 4.4.2 factory image for your region.

Okay i see what you mean..when you go into recovery or download mode your phone tries to update automatically by itself..hmm..i will have to look in to this further as i have no solution at this time for this problem..i never had this happen to me on any of the samsung phones i owned..but i will take a look into it.

Thanks, i wold be grateful because i don't know how to proceed...if you do the procedure to unbrick the samsung (but i think that isn't a good idea because the bootloader isn't compromised) or of trying to find the right moment with odin to recognize the phone
If you truly can't get into download mode at all, you may need a jig to force it
You can try this search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=usb...amsung&sourceid=chrome-mobile&espv=1&ie=UTF-8
But if its forcing update mode then the jog may just do the same thing...never heard of not being able to get to download mode due to the system attempting to continue to run update

If like you said the lcd screen has been replaced and if the screen is not a original samsung screen (OEM) then this could be the problem as the other members have mentioned..as the new kitkat update came out it does not support thrid party drivers for the lcd screen anymore..only original drivers signed by samsung are being used now and any lcd screen that is not original will not work anymore..until a solution is found to fix this.
Were did you buy your screen from..which seller.?

That's probably because for recovery you need to hold down the volume down and up buttons and the power button.

Well I was did same thing with my sgh i777, but I bing my issue in 2 hours. Just you need odin and sgh i777 original stock. I hope you will find it by binging it or reply me I will upload it for you.
Have a nice day
First make sure you're using the latest odin available. Second, a lot of time for me, my phone will only get recognized on certain usb ports on my computer so odin doesn't see it. For example the two top front ports don't recognize it at all. The middle two do. I have an idea of why but haven't bothered to try fixing it. Point is, try every usb port u have. If it still doesn't recognize it, try reinstalling kies and the latest usb drivers for our device. (there are generic usb drivers for it)
We're you using a custom rom before? With which kernel? Odin a custom kernel with recovery, like siyah etc..... Then use 3 button combo to get into recovery

Download mobile odin and try flash another kernel.
When you are attempting the key combination, are you doing with the phone on, or off?
The phone has to be off for them to work. If you do it with the phone on, it will only register the power button hold, and reboot normally.
Also, in what universe would it be considered any kind of brick if the phone works normally? (Never mind that I consider there to be no such thing as a "soft" brick)

He said to use Mobile ODIN, mobile ODIN is phone version of ODIN for desktop.
Install it and use it to flash Siyah kernel (.tar), It will automatically reboot device into its own flashing kernel. Once it flashes Siyah you can then try again to reboot into recovery or download.
[EDIT] Ok just re-read and you was on stock kernel so I'm assuming you're not rooted. In thsi case you need to try and do a direct soft-reboot into recovery. Download a rebootiong program off the Pplay store like "Hot Reboot". In this app you will have a option to reboot in recovery or download modes.
REMEMBER NOT TO DO ANY SORT OF WIPE IN STOCK RECOVERY OR YOU WILL BRICK DEVICE AND NEED NEW MOTHERBOARD.

Ok, so I have recently rooted my Galaxy S3 and I wanted to install cyanogenmod. I used ROM manager to do so.
The problem is that as soon as I installed it, my phone supposedly rebooted but it never started up again!
Now all I get is a flashing "menu" and "back". I can't boot normally, or in download mode, or in odin mode.
I have nothing any more and I don't know what to do, I'm really starting to panic here.
Can anybody please help please?!

you can screw up the hardware drivers by flashing the wrong kernel which in turn can impact download mode. we see it all the time in the epic touch forums because people think that the s2 and the e4gt variants are interchangeable. so yes. you can software brick by flashing rom/kernel/recovery.

I still however can restart and boot to twrp by pressing volume up - power - menu button, i will wipe all the data and reinstall the system with the same result... what can i do??
