Cannot get into download mode on VRLG1 on Replacement S3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I had to get a replacement Verizon S3 and it came with the G1 baseband update pre-installed and now it won't allow me to get into download mode with the Vol- & Power combo. What am I missing ???

wut?
are you running this on a captivate or a different model?
What happens if you hold down volume up, down, and power? Can you get to a screen with a yellow exclamation point? Or just a frozen AT&T logo? Details are invaluable. In particular, what phone is it?

only show AT&T logo and then turn off and on the same logo many times. The command to put in download mode no work any more
the phone is Galaxy S i9000
It says here the download mode for the Galaxy S is volume down + home + power
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...o-com/311349/flash-now-your-samsung-galaxy-s/
Did you try that? Also, try volume up instead of down, since I think I read the Galaxy S and Captivates may have reversed up and down buttons.
You'd probably do better off posting in the Galaxy S subforum however, or on Modaco, since this subforum is mostly full of people who have never even seen a Galaxy S.
OHOHOH this happened to me first download the samsung new pc studio for drivers and install then open odin(first) and plug phone in after that hold power button and volume up and down the screen should flash once then keep holding it should flash once again then let go of power and you should be into download mode (this happened to me before and i fixed it like this)

I make this short video of the problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8AIvalzBvY
Samsung Captivate
Did you try and flash a Samsung Captivate ROM on a Galaxy S i9000? From looking at your device it definitely not a Samsung Captivate. I would re-flash a i9000 ROM and it should fix your problem.
Turn off your phone. Hold down the Volume down button and then press the power button. The phone should be in download mode.
Download this firmware from here. http://www.multiupload.com/2TNDO4LQYW
This should fix your problem.
OP: Did you try the suggestion about releasing the power button when the screen goes black? On my captivate, I would hold power + vol up + vol down and it'd show a logo on the screen, then the screen would go black, and I'd let go of the power button while holding the volume buttons. Then I'd get to download mode. I'm thinking you could do something similar, maybe vol up + power + home and let go of power when the screen goes black? Or try vol down + power + home. Play around with different combinations.
trust me my method works sadly i cant make a vid (sent my captivate back) for another captivate

I know your method works, but the OP has a Galaxy S, not a Captivate. Buttons might work differently at the low level, especially if it's been flashed with the Captivate button mappings.
I try so many combinatios and no luck no can intro in download mode
this situation is killing me any other ideas
thanks
Afraid not...to my knowledge you're the only person who's flash a non-Galaxy S rom on a Galaxy S phone.
I don't know anything about the Samsung warranty, but could one assume that since they offer source code, roms, and flashing tools, they would cover problems related to flashing? Somehow I doubt it, but it'd sure be nice...

Maybe try the Galaxy S forums? Here or Modaco.
any one find a fix to this ?
When I had this problem on my Captivate heres what fixed it for me.
Pulled the battery to make sure it's off. Put the battery back in, hold both the up & down buttons, and then plug in the USB cable.
This puts it into download mode so you need to have the correct firmware ready to go.
Mike
Try "adb reboot download" , over and over again while it boots or when it's in recovery mode.
Maybe you can get through.

[Solved] Can't Boot Into Recovery!

I have an S7 from AT&T. I'm not bricked or rooted, only debloated. Amidst all this debloating, I fear I have disabled something which recovery mode requires to work. I hold down the power button + volume down and I'm put into a loop of Samsung logos.
Does anyone know what needs to be enabled for recovery to function? Here is a list of everything I have disabled:
It is not "asurion.android.mobilerecovery.att", that is an AT&T recovery app.

Bricked S7! Stuck on logo, please help

Hi All,
I recently updated my phone's BL and CP using Odin since I wanted to update my version of Superman rom to the latest. I think I might have done it in the wrong order though? (flashed bootloader before attempting to update firmware)
My phone is now stuck on the Samsung logo with the "Recovery is not seaandroid enforcing" at the top. I can get it to restart by holding the Vol Down + Power button but can't get it into Recovery / Download Mode it just keeps rebooting into the samsung logo!! I tried a quick Vol Down + Power followed by Vol Down + Power + Home but it doesn't work and keeps going back to the samsung logo
Is there any other way I can get this to boot into download mode so that I can flash an older version of the bootloader using odin?

Press (Vol up + Vol down + Power button) and when screen goes off quickly press (Vol down + Home button + Power button). Repeat the process until you see the green screen! It worked for me.

One hour later I got this damn thing into Download Mode!! Phew...
I just kept the Vol Down + Power + Home buttons pressed while it kept rebooting itself (I was letting go of the buttons and pressing them again when I saw the screen turn off which wasn't working)
Not sure why the latest BL bricked my phone?! I've flashed one version before and it's now working again.

If you are using PH* bootloader and trying to root the system, you should only use TWRP 3.0.2.3 and best choice would be SuperSU 2.76.. Glad to hear it booted up at last!
So far I've yet to see someone truly brick an S7 since you'd need to replace the bootloader and it wont even flash a new bootloader until it's fully transfered and verified. So no worries there should always be a way out.
you can always go back to stock via Smartswitch and Rescue option.... all you need is your modelnumber and S/N.....
Phew, just went through the same problem, thanks a lot for help, guys!

HELP: stuck in Smart Switch mode

Need serious help. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is soft brick I think.
I was able to go into recovery and download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER + HOME keys).
Now it's currently stuck in Smart Switch mode.
I cannot take out the battery so the phone cannot be switched off that easily.
Does anyone know how to get out of Smart Switch mode?

Press 'Power' + 'Home' + 'Volume -' for about 30 second, phone must restart that way. Just reflash your phone using latest Odin 3.12.7 (and latest Samsung USB drivers) to latest stock firmware for your model (you get it via SamFirm) then flash CF_AutoRoot & TWRP and do what you want!
HERE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73762467&postcount=2
I figured out how the DOWN POWER HOME button works only while usb is connected.
I can now use odin.. but now I get NAND failed during flash

So can be just hardware issue, for example eMMC broken.
check drivers or change usb port on pc/laptop
Yes you can check also on another cable or/and another USB-port or even on another PC... But I don't think so that help... Did you tried like I told HERE?
