Hey Guys, I was trying to flash into another kernel when the process on odin3 stopped at the reset part for a minute and it said removed an everything and was stuck in download mode on my captivate with no progress, so i took out the battery and put it back in then when i booted after the at&t logo it gave out a TV tracking looking thing and did a endless boot. The 3 button combo for download mode or recovery mode does not work I am not sure on what to do
ok slow down i had to read that 10 times, what is tv tracking thing...
what were you flashing? what rom were you?
you dont flash "into" kernels, download mode is 2 buttons, 3 button combo is recovery,
take out battery
put usb from phone to pc
hold both volume buttons
put battery back in
flash back to stock.
Yea i tried to get into download mode but it just goes straight into battery charging screen. i was using continuum 5.2.

It seems like a bad cable/usb port.
I suggest you try different one for both.

very true!
see? it helps knowing what rom/kernel is invovled!
One you get DL mode, do not use 3 button fix. Are you using a one click with bootloaders? If not, DO NOT USE 3 BUTTON FIX. If you are reflashing eclair/froyo bootloaders, verify that you have a successful flash before using 3 button fix. Never use 3 button fix with with GB bootloaders.
i tried both plugging it into a different port and another cable no go. and the vol down and power is not working
Time to get jiggy with it.

I was flashing a I1900 rom, Amestris. I did a full wipe and a wipe of delvik started to flash the rom and during the flash the screen went black. When I try to start it back up if I hold the power and the vol up/dn the samsung screen comes up but just for a split sec and then goes back off with almost a tv animation?. I cannot get to either download or recovery at this point and of course not with adb either. acts like a dead battery? but the battery was fully charged. When plugged into the charger the charging emblem does not come on either?
Any help out there?
Nevermind, got to download!

Yes, that is exactly what I did. My problem was that I could not get to download. Thus I could not acomplish this. All is good now. I got download, flashed to stock and back to my daily. I just do not know how it stopped in the middle of a flash and shut down? I will try to duplicate it later.
TV screen? Did it maybe look like a "Phone-to-PC" screen?
That's the "You're not getting anywhere until you flash something" variant of download mode, but it IS download (Odin/Heimdall) mode.
Or you may have flashed a ROM that had an autoreboot in its script so it's a bad kernel - so enter download mode and Odin away. You might get away with just Odin/Heimdalling a Hellraiser-compatible kernel to get you to CWM.
To enter download mode:
Pull and reinsert battery
Hold VolUp/VolDn (but NOT power)
Plug in the USB cable to the phone when it's connected to a PC

No it was not that screen.
It looked like the screen off animation of some roms where it looks like an old TV. I have seen lots of soft bricks but this was new. As soon as the samsung screen came up it instantly went off. Very hard time getting into download also. It was also the firt time I ever had a phone stop in the middle of a flash, on it's own and become soft bricked. I have been back on Dario's, Darky's and now Infused since and all is good. Just not sure how it happened. I plan to try to duplicate just to find the real cause and warn others. Unless it was just a odd fluke of sorts...
HI folks. So 2 nights ago I tried to update my Teamhacksung ICS enabled captivate using ClockworkMod bt somehow something went wrong. I was able to get into download mode at that point and then used Odin which seemed to work okay. Unfortnately now if I try the volume up and down method and plug in the usb cable, I get a looping battery signal. If I use the volume up, down, and power method I get a looping ATT logo. I can't get anywhere. Can someone help me with this? Really appreciate it. Computer does not see the phone in any of these states. Thanks.
PS: What's this Jig thing?
The jig will put your phone into dl mode w/o u having 2 do anything. From there just odin back 2 stock.
From what u r saying it seems like u r stuck in a bootloop. You should be able to press volume up/down and odin back 2 stock.

Do you have a different process other than what I've mentioned? If i hold down vol up+down then plug in the usb cable I get a looping battery logo. If I try to hold down vol up+down+power I get a looping att logo. PC never sees the phone. Do you have another way of doing this? Thanks.
EDIT: ALSO, THAT IS WHAT I DID TODAY AND GOT TO THIS STATE. BEFORE I DID ODIN3 TODAY, I COULD GET TO DOWNLOAD MODE. NOW I CAN'T AT ALL.

have you tried to flash i9000 bootloader if yes then use vol up+power or vol down+power to go to download mode
So I was following a tutorial on how to put stock fw on the t959v but the files he provided was not for the t959v but the vibrant. So I got the phone stuck into boot loop, after hours of trying to get out of it it finally switched from boot looping to an alternate download mode. I didn't even need to hold the keys to get it into download mode I just had to turn on the phone.
Anyways I followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603656&highlight=firmware+upgrade+fail
which lead me to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2
And that got me out of the alternate download mode. But now its stuck at boot loop again!
I keep trying using odin but it always fails or goes into another boot loop. Please help, this isn't even my phone.
Okay now the phone is stuck in a constant boot loop and I can't get it into download mode. The amount of threads I read don't help at all because the solution is in download mode which I can't get into.
PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY!

Please please give bhundven the namesake for the One-Click as he made it for us. I wrote the guide ONLY. I don't want to see it called lumin30's Heimdall One-Click. Thanks!
I did use heimdall, but thats what got my phone in a constant boot loop. Now it won't even boot up in download mode. I think it may be bricked. What can I do now?
You tried the three button combo to get in download mode?

three button? I tried the volume up+down and inserting the USB cable. It goes straight to the charging screen then a black screen, then back to the charging screen.

That's not the way. Pull battery, plug phone into computer via usb, hold down BOTH volume buttons, insert battery(while still holding down the volume buttons). That will get you to DL mode.

Tried it, no luck :/ Same thing happens I see the charging screen (grey'd out) then it goes black, and then I see the charging screen again.

Actually this will work as long as you are holding the buttons and plugging the phone in at the same time and wait til the splash screen gets bright then let go...there are three different ways to get into download mode...you and also do it from cwm screen too...
Back on Barebones
Anymore input? I'd really like to get those phone running again, seeing as it's not mine. I'm guessing it's bricked since I can't get it into download mode.
Finally got it to work! Got it into download mode by holding down the volume down button and power button while inserting the battery. The mistake was holding down both volume keys, I guess that only works sometimes. After download mode I downloaded the file
"java -jar T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar" located in Lumins signature (second link) and flashed, after that the phone started boot looping again. So I tried it again this time clicking "flash bootloaders" and voila! The phone booted up and now it works!
Thanks everyone for the help! I'll be sure to click the thanks button!
Hope this post helped out other people with my problem!
Good job!
When I plug it into usb it is recognized but will not turn on at all. I tried to flash the paranoid rom and now it will not turn on. Please help
First of all, wrong section. This goes into Q&A.
Second, when did you buy your S III? Is it rooted? Did you unlock the bootloader? Which recovery did you use?

When i hold the power button the Samasung Galaxy S3 logo shows up but the the screen goes away. It will not go into ODIN mode
What about a force reboot? Power+home+volume keys for about 10 seconds.
Edit: Sorry, this doesnt work. I was thinking of my old phone.

Hold down volume down, home and the power button. See if that works.
Why did you make this thread then post it in the ROM thread as well?
You could also try putting it into recovery mode. This actually happened to me after flashing a rom that needed the bootloader unlocked, but not unlocking it first. volume up + home + power and I was able to reflash a good rom and fix it.
You HAVE to be able to get into ODIN mode. A simple ROM flash cannot **** up getting into download mode. You don't go in download mode after the phone starts to boot normally. Make sure the device is OFF and then hold down Power + Volume Down.
Try flashing this. I used to get a black screen after the Galaxy SIII startup. remove the battery for 5 seconds then put it back. go into recovery mode (press and hold volume up + home + power), mount system then flash the sign.zip. reboot and it should work. let me know if it works.
Put into Odin mode and let it charge from there for about 5minutes and turn your phone back on

I installed CW9 without installing kernal it's stock in the logo.I put a new CM9 with a new kernal. i installed both and rebooted .It's hard brick now.No boot no download mode no recovery.
Our ROMs have kernels built in so I'm a bit confused

Wait, did you install a CM9 ROM on top of an existing, different CM9 ROM without wiping? If so, you're done. JTAG or warranty.
Are you 100% sure you can't get to download mode?
Is the phone boot looping at the Samsung logo?
If so... try to time holding the VOL + and VOL - while the phone is fully off.
You may have to turn the phone off (and back on) while holding VOL+ and VOL- to "extra confirm" the phone is seeing VOL+ and VOL- being held down on first boot.
Just remove the holding the power after you have confirmed this to prevent phone from just turning on/off constantly.
I had this happen to me with my Infuse after getting rainbow color recovery.
It might sound little tricky but (it's easy) I was able to get download mode by timing it right as I explained above.
Let us know if this helps.
We need more details I think

If you can't get anything to turn on at all, yeah, you're hard bricked. JTAG or warranty it out.
In the future, and I know you were told by prbassplayer to do this in another thread, use Google Translate and read everything before flashing. I'm absolutely certain that your phone was bricked by user error, and that's so easy to avoid. Read the stickies, read the ROM thread, follow instructions to the letter. 99.9% of the time, you will not brick if you do those three things.
That sucks bro your lucky JTAG is only 50 bucks
