So, i installed A LOT of custom roms on my gs3, and the last one screwed it up, so i got android 5.1.1 on my gs3 and when it tried to boot up (after optimizing apps stuff...) it just stopped at "Finishing Boot" and it stayed like that for couple of hours, then since i don't have a power button to enter download mode i made my own homemade usb jig and got my gs3 in download mode and i got it back to stock, then it stopped at samsung logo and it was just booting like that whole night. Then i tried diffrent versions of stock roms, kernels, even new pit file, still nothing. So i've read on couple of forums that i need to enter recovery mode and wipe data & cache(but odin does that automatically right ?) and i can't enter recovery mode cause i have a broken power button(and no i can't connect wires cause when i got rid of the power button i accidentally pulled out one of the connectors).So how can i enter recovery without a power button if i can't boot up the phone ? Or is there any other fix ? Or it's dead ?
P.S I can't take it to service no warranty + binary count is 14 and i can't reset it without my phone booted up.
No power, no phone. It's that simple. Fix the power button and then you can boot it up. No other way possible.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
you could try thru usb then adb command: fastboot reboot recovery (if i remember correctly)
edit: just read you can't even turn it on

How do i send adb command, since gs3 doesn't have fastboot mode only download mode, and adb commands are only available thru recovery mode...

go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
download the driver, install once while gs3 booted, then in download mode install the driver again - while phone is connected
i haven't been able to get a "fastboot devices" respond while in download mode, maybe i'm not doing it right
the driver supposed to support galaxy s3 international with adb and fastboot

installing the drivers only need any gs3 but since it's stuck on logo only, you can't do anything.
i thought you said you have a home-made jig to boot into download mode
Odin don't wipe data and cache automatically. I had bootloop problem after flashing stock too you have to get to recovery anyway you can and format cache and data from there. As I know you can flash files through odin with your home-made USB jig. So there are some recovery zips that will boot into recovery directly after flashing them. You can either find one of them or you can ask someone to edit one of the recovery zips for you. The final way I can think about is adb. You can go to download mode with your USB and then you can use adb. Give adb this command. Adb reboot recovery and it will reboot to recovery. If I helped you in any case press the ? tnx button.

Did you ever find a fix for this ? Would of been a dam sight easier if there was rocker buttons on the side all it needs a cache and factory reset and it's fixed

techman20, have you ever solved this? I ran to exact same issue and have been tried different methods for the past 2 days. I'm new to Android so need community's help.
Here is the current state of my device (GT-B9150 Samsung Homesync):
- In order to get root, flashed ROM MJ1 (TUR version), followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497102
- After flash the device got very slow so I figured I need to wipe the data and cache partition
- There is no volume key of the device so I use adb to reboot to recovery mode (debug mode has been enabled earlier), again there is no key so I didn't know how to select in the screen (should have use adb command as well, I was not that familar with adb), instead I put into the command rm -r /data, then the device dead
- After reboot the device stuck in the bootloop: I see samsung logo and homesync logo, NO adb connection (I think the debugging mode is not on)
- I tried flash a few other versions of the ROM and it does not working as well, all stuck same at the bootloop
I figured if I can wipe the data and cache partition after a fresh installation of ROM the device could be saved.
Here are a few path that I see can solve this:
Option 1: Get into recovery mode, but I don't know the key combination, also adb is not working so seems can not use command line either
Option 2: Since I'm able to get into download mode, I can use Odin to flash some sort of bootloader with adb function, so that I can later use command to get into recovery mode
Option 3: Complete wipe out the device, re-partition using Odin
Since I'm new I don't exactly know if any options here makes sense and what are the risk for each. Also I don't have the pip for option 3. Would be great if any expert here can shed some light on, it's been bothered me for 2 entire days at weekend.
Thanks,
Is there anyone can please help me with this issue, or provide some insights?
Thanks

for boot loop you need to clean data and cache partition. To do that you need to go to recovery mode.
To do that, turn off the device , hold the power button. First you will see its power on, keep it pressed. And after 5s , you can home sync will rebooted to recovery.
Hi all, I know this is too old subject, but unfortunately I had my homesync flashed firmware through Odin and I did nand erase all, it is now stuck to Samsung homesync logo after booting. I know it is required wipe but how if no recovery is installed into the original firmware? any thought?

Hi all.
Help me, I can't find PIT file for Samsung Homesync (GT-B9150).
Hi. I'm new here, and I really need help!
It started today when I'm tired of a disaster lagging using android 5.1.1 rom on my Galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7500).
So, I decided to flash a stock rom to go back to honeycomb 3.2
And basically, a volume down button on my tablet is broken. so I won't be able to reboot in recovery mode.
I tried reboot in download mode by pressing power + volume up button but it won't work either.
Then I managed to reboot in download mode and use Odin to flash a rom by using adb cmd but I didn't boot to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset first(I don't know if this has something to do with this problem.)
And that brought me to a dead end problem.. Stuck at the logo while booting up. :crying:
I don't really know what else to do or is there some hope with this situation. I plugged a usb to my pc while in logo screen and it showed up as SAMSUNG_Android so when I check by typing adb devices in command it's there but can't get it to work since adb required debugging mode.
I think I will probably end up order a new button for replacement but I feel like I should ask a professionals first.

What is working so far
Recovery mode
Download mode
Phone boots but its stuck on 2nd boot animation.
My galaxy s6 edge (T-Mobile - SM-G925T) has been bricked. I flashed the stock android M 6.0.1 firmware through Odin and now my phone does not boot past the second boot animation.
The phone also has a blue led indicator on at all times during this brick.
I tried going to stock recovery and factory resetting the phone with no luck and its still stuck on 2nd boot animation.
I have tried to restore the phone with smart switch but it asks for my serial number which I do not have.
The serial number is not on the back of the phone and I doint have the box.
I put the phone in to download mode and hit the home button to show the "bar code" option but it does not display the serial number at all and its just blank.
I put the phone into download mode tried to flash stock firmware and twrp but it just stays on setup connection in odin by powering off the phone, holding vol down, home power, and vol up again to enter download mode.
But before what I did was I typed the adb commands on my computer to reboot the phone into download mode so I could flash files to the phone through odin but I caint send adb commands to the phone due to this brick.
I did try adb side load in the stock recovery and I tried to side load the stock rom as a flashable zip but it does not want to sideload.
Please help me to solve this problem, thank you very much, I will appreciate all the help.

Try again to flash this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/89343/G925TUVS4EPH2_G925TTMB4EPH2_TMB/
If it sticks on setup connection again, try a different usb port.
If after this it still bootloops try again to flash twrp and if this works wipe cache/dalvik.
If it doesn't work and just bootloops tell me of any errors you get during the process.
Thank you for the help! I hit the thanks button. I found out why Odin was stuck on setup connection and that was because I was using a bad USB cable, so I tried another cable. After that odin was not stuck on setup connection. Then I flashed stock firmware on Odin and now the phone works!. Thank you for the help!
Hello everyone !
I have a rooted, unlocked mi A3 with magisk and twrp everything worked fine but when i wanted to restart it, it goes to fastboot mode automatically...
I tried to fastboot reboot recovery, it boot in fastboot
If i type fastboot reboot, it goes to fastboot mode
If i press the power off button for 15 second it reboot to fastboot...
Do you have an idea how to repair this ? I don't car about loosing what is on my phone if necessary
EDIT: got some news if I set fastboot --setactive=a the phone boot correctly i can use it normally with no bug even reboot it without any problem
EDIT 2 : I solved the problem, i uninstalled magisk and everything was solved, I can get to recovery etc... Somehow magisk did something that my phone did not like
if I write fastboot setactive=b it bootloop
Thank you
it says unknown --setactive=a command
I also tried this method but system is says unknown --setactive=a command
I can't boot my mi a3.
Please help, me service center says motherboard is damaged.
It's cost 5600 Rs.
Help me please please..?????
Can you boot into twrp recovery? Turning off phone and doing power + volume up button. If yes you can try doing a factory reset.

Are you bootloader unlocked?
stuck on fastboot screen
Sir to be honest i am not a software person and possibly wont understand what you said, but ill explain in detail what exactly happened.
First I had purchased Mi a3 with android 9 and later i got an update saying android 10 the phone was working absolutely fine.
Today i received another update which mentioned android 10 and as usual i updated it and when i restarted the phone i directly got that fast boot screen.
I went thru so many websites regarding this issue but did not find any solution and almost everywhere it said to flash the phone.
So i tried to flash the phone, I downloaded firmware, miflash tool, abd drivers, after doing all this my phone is not being detected on my pc, i checked device manager and even i got links from XDA as well i followed that as well but still no luck on detection.
Upon finding the query on detection issue i found solutions to debug from my device but my device is not starting up so i even cant do debugging as well.
Please help.

Did you try to reset the phone using the recovery mode?
From switch off, press simultaneously for a few moments the Volume Up and Power Button.
you should enter in recovery mode and apply a factory reset.
this works for me

I cannot enter the recovery mode when i press the buttons you said it again comes at fast boot screen and i tried to flash with mi flash tool but that flash process continuesly goes on and no changes in phone.
