So I'm holding the volume up and down buttons and insterting the usb cable after, it sends me into clockwork mod. Is that download mode???
Also odin doesn't seem to do anything. I prepared it exactly like the return to stock thread told me to.
Try just holding the volume down while inserting usb

Hold both volume up + volume down and connect phone to PC via USB cable and phone should enter download mode.

i also tried the Volume up and then Volume Down and then Power and it just boots into android ics offical rooted...
If i do Volume up and power i get the fastboot mode
Ok i fixed it... now atleast with ICS their is a big change to get into download mode.... it is now just /.....
volume up
volume down
just that....
So, I got soft bricked. I tried to odin back to stock but ive tried every three button combo to get back in to download mode with nothing working. I try pulling battery then holding both vol keys then inserting battery and then plugging in usb cable while its plugged into the computer and odin is running. Ive tried every other variation of this as well. I have no idea what to do next, please help. Plugging in the USB after holding the keys only brings up the SAMSUNG screen. I can three button into 3e recovery but of course that is no help. Please help

Follow my first signature link. Read it all...a few times.
Try volume down, put battery in, plug USB cable that is already in PC into phone.

Yeah, I tried that as well. I read that thread and didn't learn anything new. I've been through soft bricks before, many times but never have I lost download mode.

If your getting recovery then download mode is not gone..... put your phone inrecovery mode, if you know how to use adb, or even have it, open command prompt and type: adb devices to see if it recognizes your phone. Should say xxxxx in recovery mode or something. Then type: adb reboot download. This will probably be the only way you will get to download as it sounds like your buttons remapping got screwed up somehow...

Tried it, adb detected nothing. I don't have cwm, I have unmodded 3e. Adb didn't detect any device and I never had USB debugging enabled. I bought a jig off eBay as my last hope, any luck with these?

Have you tried a different PC?

I can not get my Infuse to go into download mode. I power off the device, and remove the battery just for good measure. I reinstall the battery hold the vol +/vol - rocker and plug the cord in and it does not go into download mode but just powers up the phone. Also when it does this a popup says USB "Device Not Recognized".
I have redownloaded the drivers and Kies from Samsungs website and still nothing. I have tried every port and 3 different cords. It has always worked before, so I am not sure what is happening.
Well for download mode I'm pretty sure you have to hold the power button in that combo when you plug in the cord. At least I had to when I was soft bricked earlier

No, you dont hold the power button. It is a driver issue somehow but I have the drivers installed. Now it will go into download mode but still unrecognized.
That's weird

While trying to install ICS via method B ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878458 ), I bricked my infuse.
When starting up, it has the samsung logo, and then a screen that says Galaxy S Cynaogen Mod.
I cannot get into download mode (hold volume buttons but not power, insert battery, insert usb). I can get to CW recovery mode, and have used the keytest function to make sure my power button didnt think it was being held down. I also tested the volume buttons, both work (and I need them pressed to get to recovery mode anyway). I have tried 2 USB ports and 2 different USB cables.
When I attempt to go into download mode, it just gives me the samsung->galaxy S cyanogen mod screens.
How do I go about unbricking my infuse?
Have you tried flashing a rom and then attempting to boot normally?
Also, try first inserting the battery, then press both vol buttons and insert usb. Not sure if it might make a difference.

Not sure if you tried it but if you can get to CWM, do another factory wipe reset, flash ROM and correct GAPPS, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache and reboot. See if doing it again helps.

Thanks for the quick replies!
I cant install another ROM, since I cant get to download mode, and dont have one on the internal SD card (and cant get to the external one).
Also, try first inserting the battery, then press both vol buttons and insert usb. Not sure if it might make a difference.

Ive tried it both ways, neither works, it just boots normally (but hangs at the galaxy s cyanogen mod screen).
May need to try using SDK as describe in this thrrad.

Ive done some reading, do you think a USB jib to force it into download mode would work?
MIght work. Other have had some success.
Ok, ive tried using the SDK, and I cant get my phone to come up in the list of connected devices. Ive ordered the jig, and not really sure what to try until it arrives.

Hello my phone's power button just died and my phone wont turn on. Its being replaced by verizon for free. Is there any way I can reformat it so I dont get in trouble for an open boot loader and a rooted rom? My phone wont turn on at all because the power button is not connected. So I need to do something when its powered off to reset it. Thank you
I can't try this but maybe it's worth a shot.

I gave it a try but didnt have any luck. Any other suggestions?
Googling this brings up many more xda threads than I could reasonably read. However, being much more motivated you might try them. Post back any results. It would be nice to be able to help others.
Cut and paste this search string. Note the site: syntax that returns only results from xda forums and the inclusion of s3 and siii to narrow it to your device.

Edit: replace the emoticon with a : directly followed by an x. Sheesh!

1. Take the battery out of the phone and unplug it from USB power.
2. Plug in USB power.
3. While holding down the volume-down button and the Home button, insert the battery.
4. The phone should start in Download mode, from here you can use Odin to return the phone to stock.

Maybe you should read the OP before posting. His power button is broken. So he can't enter Odin

I also read that doing the volume down and home button combo without battery but plugged in enters download mode. Wild. Any luck?

You can enter download mode without the power button.
Use terminal emulator,
Su
reboot download

Maybe you should read what I wrote. I didn't mention the power button because you don't need it to get into Download mode.
Per Jacquestrapp I took the battery out of my s3, plugged into to usb power, held the home/vol down key combo while re-inserting the battery (not easy) and it's now in download mode. Try it. It should work for you.
