I had been running cognition 2.2 beta1, put phone into download mode using vol up vol down and put in usb cord and flashed back to stock. Then I flashed Shep211's JPM\JI6 ROM via rom manager. Reflashed a JI6 kernel, then tried to use rom manager to flash to cognition 2.2 beta7. The update failed and now I only get the phone exclamation computer screen and I cannot get my phone back into download mode! I have tried almost every combination of vol up vol down power and usb I can think of to no avail. Can anyone at XDA help before I return the phone to ATT?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Pull battery. Just keep trying to get into dl mode. That's all I think you can do.

Have you tried doing it via the SDK? Really easy that way.

through ADB you mean?
I just get error - device not found whenever I try and run any adb command.
Yes, I had to do the "adb reboot download" with the SDK running.

can you be more specific? I can't get adb to recognize this phone in its current state.
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..
2- Press Vol Up while you connect your phone to the USB
3- Insert battery, and keep pressing Vol Up!!!
or
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..
2- Press Vol Down while you connect your phone to the USB
3- Insert battery, and keep pressing Vol Down!!!
or
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..
2- Press Vol Up while you connect your phone to the USB
3- Insert battery and, keep presing Vol Up, press the Power button..
Keep pressing Vol keys means that you must keep pressing the buttons until you get the Download Mode Screen.. And keep trying.. Sometimes it take some time to work..
What I did was download and install the SDK in the C:\Android directory
Then open a windows command prompt and navigate to the "Tools" directory
Then just run the adb command.
Not sure what to tell you if the phone isn't recognized, I'm pretty new at this myself. I'd start hitting Google.
Good luck.

You can go to Download mode from Recovery.. But not from the Phone+Computer screen.. I think..

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried these all several times, waiting about 1 minute before I gave up each time. Should I wait longer, or do you have any other suggestions? I'm about ready to give up and make a trip to AT&T

Strange.. Every time that my phone got stuck on that screen (3 times ) i tried these steps.. And after some time (and others combinations, Vol Up+Down, Only Down, etc, etc etc..), it works..

this is my second time being stuck at this screen, but I'm having absolutely no luck this time around (have been trying for about an hour now). I guess I'll be making that trip to att.

I've tried all of the suggestions in this thread already, I have somehow managed to completely brick this thing. Thanks for all of your help!
If you were going to Cog 2.2.7, why wouldn't you just have wiped, flashed to stock, rooted and then flashed with Clockwork Recovery?
Anyway, good luck.
-Did you try to start pressing the Vol button AFTER you plug the USB cable? And before you plug it?
-Did you try another USB port or another PC?
Here is the Fix
I was in this same situation last week. Here is how to get it back into download mode.
•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
•Remove and replace the battery.
•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.
•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down

This is the only method that consistently works for me. I use the exact same method. The key is whatever picture (att, battery charge, etc....) comes up the second time and then goes blank, then release the power button.

Guys need serious technical help..............................
i have rooted my phone with super one click all things were going fine.installed rom manager to backup my stock ROM and committed a mistake and installed wrong cwm and tried to backup my stock rom.selecting the backup option it Suppose reboot my phone in download mode which doesn't happen. and now i dose not have any access to my phone.
I searched whole forum and haven't found any solution.please help me.
Need guidance..
download and install pratyush.creed rom using odin and ur phone will be fine again
Bricked Screen (A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)
To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.
Black Screen of Death:A fully bricked phone will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.
This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector, modified with a 301k resistor as showed in this video:

I try and schema whit modified resistor but nothing. i measured the level of battery it was at 2,4 V after some seconds it down to 0. Maybe it the battery? i charge all the night and next day i put on USB on PC all the day before it die. Maybe i broke the battery and no phone?

Now i think service center is the last option.i'll visit there latest by tommorow.
If you send it to the service, please after they send back to you the phone, post what they do to the phone (change motherboard or change another piece or just flash it) Thanks.

Can you boot your phone in CWM recovery?
You should charge your phone first.. Make sure your phone's battery is fully charged.
charge the phone, enter download mode while connected to a pc, flash a stock kernel with odin then flash the rom. does the recovery mode work?
Hello, first thanks for the answer, im sure the battery is fully charged, becouse i get 2 batteris off my friends and i asked them if the baterry is charged and them tell yes, and i can't get recovery mode, if i press +vol and home button and power button the phone start with the samsung model screen and power off on 3 seconds, i dont know what to do.

My Galaxy S3 just faced the bootloop issue because of a faulty power button. I had CM12 installed, so couldn't use warranty. I opened up the phone, and cut the power switch off with a razor blade. Now, I can boot to download mode using the volume and home buttons while plugged in, and cancel download mode to boot phone. My issue is that I experienced a huge battery drain on a ROM, and dirty-flashed another ROM over it. Now, the phone won't boot. I'd like to go back to CM11, but can't figure out how to boot to recovery. Thus, this is what I need:
A way get to recovery, without using a power button, or booting up the phone

If you can boot to download mode, you can get to recovery mode. Here's how. I figured this out when my power button broke and I removed the power switch from the phone's motherboard, so it should work for you:
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 (this is a little tricky).
4. The phone should start and warn you that you are entering Download mode.
5. Press Volume Down to reboot and then *immediately* push and hold Volume Up and Home simultaneously. The phone should reboot into recovery. Mine does.

Yes - thank you very much! FYI - when I read @Jacquestrapp 's instructions, I suspected the battery gymnastics wouldn't be needed since I had already learned (in this informative video) that I could boot the phone from a powered-off state WITH THE BATTERY INSTALLED by plugging in USB power and immediately depressing home and vol-down. This gets you to step #4 above, and proceed from there.
So this is cool! My trusty-old d2vzw's power button had stuck in the "On" position last September as they apparently tend to do, so I set it aside as a brick and bought a used HTC One m7. Needing a WiFi skype device for a friend, I searched and read about scraping off the S3's power button and operating without one. Now, I see how much I missed the S3's AMOLED display colors and contrast compared to the 1080p display on the m7, and I'm reluctant to part with the S3 .
Help - when pressing volume down it does not reboot.
I9300. could there be a difference in different regions?
edit: volume down switch (not the plastic bit, the hardware connectors) was a bit flimsy so I had it replaced. Still not working though.
I read the instructions wrong. I was using a USB jig to directly boot into download mode. But I need to get to the prompt before it. However, when following the steps the phone just begins charging instead.

My s3 won't go neither into download nor to recovery I don't have a power button anymore, but I can boot the phone until Password prompt, when i unlock it, it freezes. I have a encrypted s3 with cm13 on it. Would be very happy for any hints what I could try! might there be a way to get into recovery from password prompt?

Boot the phone, when it gets to the unlock screen try connecting it to PC and open an adb terminal then type:
adb devices(press enter, if it returns a serial number your device is recognized)
Then type:
adb reboot recovery
Or
adb reboot bootloader
Try unlocking it and typing the reboot commands while it is frozen.
Or you can order a USB jig for $5 US or less from eBay.
Or you can use an old USB cord and a 300k resistor(or any combination of resistors equaling no more and no less than 300k) to make your own jig, there are videos on YouTube for making your own jig.

I don't know if you are been cheeky or not, but I will go check if I can actually touch the option. Lol.
In case I can't what ROM can I install via Odin that will give me touch recovery. Or what other options do I have?
I really don't want to take it apart again to remove the plastic button so I can short the power leads with a wire to mimic a power button press.

No I wasn't being a jerk just being honest. Twrp is touch along with cwm, I don't think any rom includes a recovery as far as I know

I am facing similar problem with my Nexus 5, but the battery is not removable. Any other options?

I have a nexus 5 as well. Believe it or not the back panel isn't that hard to remove. I have to replace my charging port on my N5 also, I borked the rom I was trying to run on it and it doesn't get past the boot screen

How can I get my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra out of stuck at 'entering fastboot mode'?
Hold down power and volume down until it reboots back to recovery. I got stuck there last week and that's what worked for me.

Is this problem solved? I cannot boot into bootloader mode, thanks!
Switch off the device. Then hold volume up and down buttons and insert the USB cable plugged to PC. You will get to download/odin mode

Download mode is different from fatboot mode, I can enter, and works ok download mode. However, fastboot does not, it gets stuck in entering fastboot mode and no fastboot command works
I got same issue here, I've tried rooting via TWRP and after data wipe and "reboot to recovery" it got stuck in same thing and doesn't move at all, if I hold power and vol down it just boots the device which i dont want since i need to flash magisk as a last step. if anyone encountered this or knows how to fix it i'd be helpful
I'm not rooted but I've had past Samsung devices that I was able to root and if I'm not mistaken Samsung phones aren't able to boot into fastboot mode because Samsung removed the ability to. You can run commands via ADB mode but I think that's about it

it gets stuck into fastboot entering if i try to do it the old fashion way .. please help
Guys, turn off the phone, press volume up and volume down together, and plug the usb cable while pressing volume up and down, and wait until the phone enter in downloading mode. This work for me.

Thanks Man. This worked.
Since we can"t enter into fastboot mode is it possible to flash boot.img with adb commands?
I m having the same problem with a21s(a217f). I can t enter download mode using key combinations and the other way launching it from recovery doesn t work, it stays stuck at,, entering fastboot mode,,
The ROM is already bricked, it says in recovery when i try to factory reset the following error:,, can t mount. /system (structure needs cleaning)
Even with,, apply up. with adb,, doesn t work, it just doesn t get detected on my computer when i checked with adb tools.
! The only thing that works is that I can access my sd card and apply a update from sd card but I don t know where to get the update file. (I ll edit if it works to flash stock rom from,, apply update from sd card,, )
Anybody got some ideas or should i burn my motherboard and replace it?
sorry for bad english
Honestly plug device into PC.
Power off device
hold all 3 side buttons. Volume up and down and power/bixby.
Should usually work.
After in fast boot you must press a button Volume button to find via odin.

I already did that, unplugged the battery, reconnected it after 1min, connected my phone to the computer and pressed all 3 side buttons, still doesn t work. I guess the download mode is deleted or something..
Volume up & down, no side key, then connect to PC. Works for me. Connect to PC first does not work for me.

It wouldn't be deleted as it's a safety protocol if the device has a bad update and freaks out.
Maybe try to person above method.
Normally I can enter download mode with any of these methods if you cannot I'd suggest trying to get the device replaced due to software malfunction

Samsung phones use a tool called Odin to flash firmware. If you're flashing custom firmware firmware you'll need to have your bootloader unlocked.
I got mine into download mode just now. It's a Galaxy A13 .. Like stated above, try to hold all three buttons down and connect to USB. I had to let go before it showed the battery charge icon. From off. If not from off try from charging. I think that's what I did just now. Plug the usb -> let it show the charging icon (from powered off!) -> hold all three buttons, let it power on, let go. DONE.
just follow this video it helped me a lot to unlock my boot loader
