How will I flash custom rom when I can't even get to download mode? CF rooting won't help because it requires odin and odin will only detect your phone when you are in download mode. Volume down+home+power puts me to recovery. Same with volume up=recovery mode.

How exactly do you do the three button combination? Do you just press all three buttons at the same time? I suggest you press the volume down button and home button first and then the power button. Make sure you're pressing the volume down part by only letting the least bit of thumb press the volume rocker.
Just out of curiosity, what's your firmware?

I did that already. Volume down first then home then power. This is not my first time flashing and I should say this is the first time that I encountered this.I tried 3 times but it takes me to recovery. I'm on DXKB2 btw.

Just making sure, bro. No need to get mad or offended. might sound like a stupid question but I just wanna know is/was your phone carrier locked at some point?
Anyway if you can't find a solution you can always just fake a problem and bring it in to the samsung service center.

It's okay. It's always hard to figure out people's tones when online. In any case, why don't you just fake a problem and send your phone in for repairs? It's still under warranty, yes?

Hi.
My GT-I9003 recently freeze at the startup and I would like to re-install all the firmware and drivers but I can't go into the download mode which i press vol- and enter and power button.
Do anyone know the reason for that and how to solve it? Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Can you go to recovery? What do you mean freeze at start up? Bootloop? I'm pretty sure you can get to download mode if you're on bootloop. Try it couple of times! Sometimes I failed to go to download too. Make sure you pressed the buttons correctly. Volume- first then home then power.
Hit thanks if you like my post.

Thanks for your reply. I'll keep trying.
Yesterday I still can go to the recovery mode but today looks like it can't. Usually the phone will vibrate when we power on it but now it looks like it won't vibrate. Instead it will on when i press the power button for quite a while and let it go, only it will on without vibrate. So weird..
My phone will always freeze at the logo there and can't go to the menu already. That's why I thought of re-install the whole firmware stuff.

hmm i think there was a promblem while flashing it. are you sure you pressed the 3 buttons download mode directory properly? i used to have the same problems way back while having the phone.
there is my way of going to download mode using the 3 button combo...
1. press and hold the home and the volume down button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. wait for the download mode button appear.
my other way is for rooted phones with cwm recovery....
1. press and hold the home and the volume up button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. when the samsung logo appears, release the power button immediately.
4. wait for the recovery to appear.
5. go to advanced options.
6. you'll find an option there to reboot to download mode.

I guess my method of pressing the button is wrong all these times.... Anyway, wanna say thanks for your methods. It helps me. :good:
sometimes you need to put off battery from device for one minute put then to phone and then voldown home and power. must work.
make sure that phone is not connected to charger or via usb

why not you guys learn how to use "adb"
it is good and fast
1. install the samsung usb driver or if you have kies istall than skip this.
2. unzip and copy all the 4 files ( with out the folder) into windows/system32 folder
3. reboot pc
4. set you phone in setting-application-development-USB debugging mode checked.
5. connect you phone to pc
6. lunch you cmd prompt
7. type adb reboot download, if you want to download mode
8. type adb reboot recovery, if you want to recovery mode
that is
beside, adb also can go into you phone system partition, do the thing like linux terminal.
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?

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

Hello, I recently fixed the LCD on my TF300T after not using it for a few months and wanted to install a new rom. I guess I accidentally pressed reboot in "recovery" while it was on, and since then my tablet will not boot past the asus logo. If I hold the power button, it will shut off then turn back on and be stuck int he asus logo. But if i hold the volume up button while holding the power button, it will shut off. I can not return it or anything since it is unlocked and it has been a while since I bought it. Is this the definition of a "bricked" device? Is there any way I can put a OS or recovery file into my SD card and have it auto boot sort of like a computer?
Thank you,
Jae Cho

What happens with volume DOWN and power being held down? If you can get to the bootloader you are probably not hard bricked.

Okay, I've got this Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that's been updated with the OTA 4.2.2 update that will not turn off. I want to sell it but I don't want the new owner bugging me about it not being able to turn off. So I decided to root it and put Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't get it into download mode to flash it. I can only get it into ADB sideload from the stock recovery. Also, I can't even find the option to put it in USB debugging mode.
So my question is what's the best way to root and add CWM to this device while it's like this? I would download ROM Manager from the Playstore to start the process but I'm afraid it will brick the device. When I tried to flash the CWM zip to root it from the stock recovery I get an error saying it was unsigned or something to that affect. I've rooted many devices but this one is driving me nuts! What a screwed up update.

Are you able to reboot your tab when pressing power for some time?
Are you holding the right buttons to enter into download mode? (Holding Power + Volume-UP)
In order to enable debugging on the Tab 2, you must go to Settings>>About Tablet. Keep tapping on "Build number" then eventually the Developer Options tab will display on the left. Tap on Developer Options and you will see on the right where you can enable USB debugging mode.

Yes, it will reboot but it wont stay off. When I try to get it into dowload mode it will just quickly say "no command" and go to the the menu. Seems Im stuck on this version forever.
No you are not there are always two ways. Let me think. Your tab is rooted ?

I have a p5113 and to get into recovery is Power + Vol down. Download mode is Power + Vol up. If you are able to get into recovery I know something that may work for you. This will install Philz Touch Recovery. I use it and it works well. Download the .zip file pertaining to your device (p5113).
- Download Philz Touch Recovery (.zip): http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16057#files
- Download SuperSU (.zip): http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Copy the .zip files to your device's microSD card and flash philz touch from Recovery Mode. Reboot back into Recovery Mode and flash the SuperSU .zip file. This should root your device.
Yea bro but he is also unable to boot into recovery dont know what problem is this. But I m sure it is boot loader problem.

I was finally able to fix the problem with not being able to shut down. I finally got the device into download mode after several tries. Once I saw that I quickly opened up ODIN and flashed clockwork mod recovery. After flashing that it shut down properly afterwards. I have shut it down 5 times in a row now and it shuts down and stay shut down every time. Im totally satisfied with that! Thanx for all you guys help.
I got it into download mode by plugging in, and shutting it down until I got to the battery charging icon (will only shut down plugged in after 2 or 3 attempts). After about 30 seconds hold down the power button and the volume down button simultaneously until the warning screen comes up. The tap volume up (button closest to the power button).

Hi, I have an Acer Iconia A500 Tab, I did a factory reset, and unfortunately I hit the reset button twice which froze the tablet. I held the power button to shut it down, and now it won't boot. The power button lights up, but I get no vibration or any visual. I'm assuming that it is hard bricked, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have an idea of what I could do to get it back. (I don't have the SBK).
Thanks

What type of rom were you using? Stock or Custom? Android version? What happens when you try to go into recovery mode? What happens when it is completely shut down and then powered back on after 20-30 min?
