Weird. Battery pull, button combo (as stated in the wiki) not working either? Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
followed every button combo I could think of including battery pull but when i'm home I'll try a different port someone told me that the port closest to the mother board and CPU words best

Do you think Samsung would lock someone out like that?

Ok. Yank the battery. put battery in phone. Hold vol + and -. Plug Phone into USB. DL mode. YAY!
tried that it only takes me to recovery i got the computer recognising it the problem is only ODIN and ADB and The Non Existance Of a Download mode or so it seems thus Far and wont know for sure until i can get ADB working Any idea if their is Seperate ADB drivers that i can download
If you are doing what was posted above - what does the screen look like that you are calling recovery? And I assume you ARE only holding both volume buttons and NOT the power button?
Problem solved aparently it had something to do with my sim card and SD card i took them both out and odin came around to the dark side
So i was going thru in flashing the stock rom through odin but my dog layed on my surge protector and turned off my PC (i know...) so i ended up getting stuck on a "failed firmware connect to keis in recovery mode" or something similar. So i couldnt get into the downloading screen. Everytime i restarted it would go directly to that screen.
Well something happened and i ended up on a new sceen showing the battery logo but it wasnt moving, just frozen. I figured it was a dead battery so i let it charge overnight. I woke up and i was still on the battery screen but i tryed to get into the download screen and i could.
So now im here can i flash the stock firmware using odin?
I cant get oast rhe samunsg logo if i try to boot normally so i figured i just need all the firmware reflashed?

If you can get into download mode - reflash stock, just keep the dog out of the room
Good luck

I've never encountered this issue - and do not have an answer - my apologies
I am sure someone else will chime in and help you get this resolved
Fortunately, every time I've borked a flash - I have been able to get into regular download mode
Does Odin recognize the tab when you plug it into your PC ??

well i have actually figured it out:good::good::laugh::good::good:, or at least saved myself and got my tab up an running again.
thanks for the support and help.
im going to be writing a detaild version on what to do over the next 2 days, im going to write it for linux but it will easily work for windows as i needed virtual box. ( a program that can emulate another O.S)
I forgot to mention i was on Linux mint so it was a little bit "harder" so to speak, but thats because there is not alot of info, hopefully my post will save some stress.

Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
Recently my power button took a crap on me, and about the same time I noticed j cannot boit into recovery. I've tried multiple different ways, and every time it just boot loops. Shows me the Samsung logo then a black screen and repeats forever. The only way I can get out of the loop is to pull battery and enter download mode then reboot. I've tried reinstalling the newest recovery again also. Anyone have any bright ideas? I can't wipe anything or install anything new, and I'm getting frustrated. :banghead:
Thank you ahead of time

Load goo.im from the market, flash twrp, then use the app to reboot to recovery?
You can use Quick Boot app, which lets you go to recovery using single click shortcut/widget

"Adb reboot recovery" from your computer or go into terminal in your phone and "su" then "reboot recovery"

Which recovery are you actively using (or trying to)? If its cwm, are you sure you got the right one for our phone? Download ROM manager and let it flash the correct cwm and then try rebooting if that still doesn't work odin the phone to stock, reroot and attempt again

I sent my GS3 in with the same problem. The phone power button started to do crazy things and would not stay in download mode or in recovery mode long enough to flash anything. They are sending it back fixed today. Samsung knows about the motherboard going bad on these devices but they wont tell you about it.

How long of a turn around was it? I think that is the only solution. Also, did you deal with samsung directly? What did you tell them?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yup called them directly. I told them that it was rooted but had a hardware problem. They told me that I can send it in since it was still under manufacturers warranty and they would tell me if it could be fixed. Sent it in on May 28th. Just got email that they are sending it back fixed.

Hmm awesome. I'm not sure if mine is still under warranty but ima call tomo. Thanks

Wish I saw this earlier. But the easiest way to boot into recovery without a power button is using terminal emulator.
Type in
Su
Reboot recovery
Same can be done for download mode.
Edit: nevermind, this was already mentioned.

so i tried to revert back to stock last night using odin and something went terribly wrong. still believe it is due to my power button. i got one section as failed and one as passed in odin. the phone shut off at the end and said it was rebooting, but it never did. eventually i unplugged it and tried to get it on with no luck. if i pull the battery and reinsert it, the phone vibrates, and i get a screen that says "Samsung, custom" with and unlocked pad lock. i have never seen this screen before. i also can only get to download mode for about 2-3 seconds before the screen goes black again. So i cannot retry the process, i now have a brick. Anyone have any suggestions? i was going to send it back to samsung today, but i don't believe they will touch it in this state.
reading up on hard bricks, and mine doesn't seem to be quite that since i can get into download mode. It just doesn't stay there, the screen turns off after a few seconds. obviously not long enough to odin. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. i now have no phone... this shall be interesting with the lady friend :laugh:

As long as you get into download mode you're still ok. Send it into samsung and tell them your issue with the power button. They will fix your hardware issue and will load the stock rom back onto your phone.
I don't think they care as long as your phone isn't hard bricked. I'm sure they use odin anyways to update every phone that comes out of their service center.
Can anyone confirm this is correct?

Hi,
I'm new to this site and just bricked my white 16 gb verizon galaxy s3 sch-i535 :crying: I was running touchwiz and decided to run cyanogen 10.2, I had to install a bootchain to unlock the boot. Downloaded RomManager and was using CWM 6.x.x, went to install it, rebooted into recovery and it started going through the system update, it finished and was about to install gapps when the device turned off and has not been able to turn back on since my computer won't recognize it, i plug it in and it makes a sound and tries to download the drivers, then it just stops and won't be recgonized. tried booting into recovery/download mode, nothing. I left it and used my old gs3 for about 4 days, tried plugging it into the charger, light turned red for about a minute and I thought I was saved, but then it turned off and nothing. Is this completely dead? Does any one know how to fix this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Samsung is now offering free repair of brickes phones. You can try that?

With a good battery boot into recovery using the three finger method volume+ and home and power buttons. Hold it until recover boots.

Got home from work today, and out of nowhere my phone was randomly rebooting.
It would boot to home screen, stay for a few seconds, then reboot. I tried to go into recovery, but it froze on the Team Win logo. I waited, then pulled battery again to try to get into recovery again. After I did that, my S3 has been effectively dead. It doesn't vibrate when I hold power, doesn't respond when I plug it in, nothing.
I was on 4.4.2 OSE with PA gapps. Running TeamWin 2.3.6.1. Very few apps (minimalist, I always try to keep unused apps gone).
I'm bewildered as to what may have caused this, and why nothing changes now.
Any ideas?
Can you get it into download mode?

Nope, not at all.
When plugged into the charger, does it display the charging animation?

It does not. This happened in a matter of minutes where nothing changed. It went from a working phone to a paperweight

You are Hard Bricked. Follow this guide very carefully. It may just save your phone. Make sure you use a Class 10 SDcard that matches the size of your phone.

No, unfortunately I did not. Never ended up being able to boot with the SD card. Followed the instructions to the dot, but no go.
