I cant tell you how to fix it but go to this link and download the app. It's a on-screen button app they use for phones with fragile or broken buttons.

So long story short, I tried to do something I probably shouldn't have, and now my phone wont boot. It does the boot screen, and then to a black screen where the screen is active, and if I touch it, the buttons light up. I can get into a recovery screen with vol- and 3D button, but it says "can't mount cache recovery log" with whatever I press. I've tried following the guide here, but I get to where I start updating, and the program just stops responding. Been trying different things for a few hours now. Every search I find says that it is solvable, but at the same time, I can't seem to solve it.
Any info I'm missing? Getting reckless here. I guess I deserve it for what I've gotten myself into. Anything is appreciated!

Find dark lestats guide and do the volume plus up and connect it to your pc and flash a kdz.. After you flash kdz start it in recovery wipe everything and your sorted...
This is my problem... I can't seem to get the guide working. I get to where the KDZ should install, but then the program stops responding, and says it can't find device. Is it because I'm not putting it in download mode right?
EDIT
***Scratch that... I think I've got it to work. Will edit again if it does ***

Just didn't mount the phone correctly. Never actually did get it to vibrate, and it just didn't want to show in device manager. But it ended up working.

OH! Yeah, I just tried to flash a baseband to get CM7 networking to work. Had no idea what I was doing. Stupid me.
Doing more research now... If I'm running v20c, what kind of roms can I flash? It seems like there aren't any at all. Or does it matter what roms I flash in relation to what version I currently have? It's all a learning experience for me lol.

You can flash any roms on any basebands.. but you cannot mix gingerbread roms with froyo basebands its a no go lol..
Okay, well that makes more sense. I assume it works as whatever rom you flash, the baseband you have is what it uses?

I dont know what qbusd means. What do you mean by that? Im going to try and factory restore. The screen is on its just black,the buttons are lit up and the green notification light is blinking. So definately going to try a factory reset
The same thing just happened to me. How can I fix this thing?
Same thing here, downloaded the update fine but when installing got to about 0% and phone locked up with a big red x. Hard reboot got me back in but says update failed. I am rooted but not unlocked, will this affect anything (other than breaking root).

Hard reboot is where you hold the power button for ten seconds right? Because I did that like 5 times. Factory reset is my last option. Maybe I could try running the 1.85 ruu if that can be provided to me and tell me how to use it

My understanding is you can download the stock 1.85 ruu and run it from your pc while your phone is connected. Should restore phone to stock. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

sounds like you have bricked your phone !!! if possible you can try a hard reset, i guess it will remove the problem
Ok, here's where I'm at...
Rooted/Kexec installed
Flashed several ROM's over the last two weeks or so with no issue.
Never did a backup and restore.
Flashed a CM10 Invisitek(?) ROM today and didn't like it.
Before I flashed it, I made a backup of my XTC install.
Tried to restore that XTC and it failed.
Tried to restore again and it said that it passed and I rebooted.
Now, when you turn the phone on, it will boot up to Samsung Custom with a lock icon then flash the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen.
Once it flashes the second screen, it will go to a blank screen and that's it.
I've tried to get the phone into Download mode by pressing both volume keys, home and power at the same time and it boots as described above.
Any nudges in the right direction? :fingers-crossed:

If you have a custom rom still on your sd card, try booting into recovery volume up+home+power and wipe data/ factory reset and then install zip from sdcard.choose your rom and flash.. that should be able to get you to boot up again. I had to do this when my phone would boot up and go blank after the sgs3 logo screen.
Do those two ROMs use different kernels? Because if that's the case, there's your problem. To my knowledge, CWM doesn't backup kernels, so restoring a nandroid wouldn't restore the kernel needed for that particular ROM to function. At least, that's how it was for my old Xperia Play. You needed to flash the new kernel before the ROM to ensure it would boot. With kexec, that's a little different.
But, I could be totally off base. Just throwing my limited knowledge out there for someone to maybe expound upon.
sorry you thru me off in your post above i thought you saying that you pressing all four my mistake but you can go here http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels= and for the channel use either #verizons3 or #verizons3-dev, they can also help you but of course stay on this thread to.

It makes sense for some phones, but it doesn't make sense that you're unable to get into download mode. Regardless of the incorrect kernel, you should be able to get into download/recovery mode. What is your device registered as when you plug it into your machine (such as QHSUSB_DLOAD)? Are you running Windows/Mac/Linux?
If your phone turns on you can get to Odin. Your best bet is making a usb jig. It's a special usb end that has 300k ohm resistor between two pins of the usb. When plugged in and the phone turns on it puts you directly into download mode. You can Google on how to make one from a usb cable and resistors from Radio Shack or mobiletechvideos.com sells them for $8.
Once in download/Odin mode you can re flash everything to stock.

This is your best bet if nothing else is working. I bought one from China on eBay last year for my GNex. I'm glad I've always got it.
Yea, I ended up having to jig it this morning when I got to the office and had access to my other tools. THAT got it into Download mode and allowed me to flash it back to stock. Bizzare evening for sure.
Thanks for all the help!
For the record...
To get into DOWNLOAD mode you hold home, power, and volume DOWN.
Volume up is for recovery.
Hope that helps.

I've seen the same issue, I was on Senergy and then tried to test CM10, I didn't like it and I went back to Senergy and I flashed it like normal way, however my phone stack on Samsung logo, after 15 minutes pressing all buttons then I was finally able to get recovery, reflashed senegy and it was alright, I Had very less battery, it could be that but not sure..

Same problem
I had this same problem for a AT&T gs3 but I think my battery died and when I plug it in it won't charge. How can I fix that charging problem and then the start up problem?
I flashed a few roms and lost my 4G. When I reloaded my ICS OS to root66 via Odin I messed something up and am now stuck at 4G LTE load screen. I am hoping there is a way to cold boot into recovery mode (not Odin flash mode) so I can just do a factory reset. If there is no way to do that I am open to suggestions. I have re-loaded the root66 image 4 times and loaded a stock image twice to no avail. Thank you in advance to any help I get.

oh um....
Is there a way to mark the thread as resolved or do we just let it die?
you can ask a mod to close it if you want.
Re-loaded my root66 and it booted fine again... now if I can just get my 4G back.
If you go through the setup wizard on a touchwiz rom it should say your phone is activated and 4g should come back.
