[Completed] Boot to recovery by default? - XDA Assist

Is there any modified recovery I can flash form ODIN/Heimdall and that will boot into itself by default? Device is I9300.
Short version of problem: Stuck in bootloop, no way to enter recovery. Flashing stock ROM = still bootloop.
Long: After downgrading BlissPop 5.1.1 to an earlier version I got into a bootloop (due to not wiping everything that I should have properly).
Was rooted and had CWM recovery.
Flashed stock ROM 4.3 (NEE-I9300XXEMG4-20130809155048). But now I have bootloop with this ROM instead. Flashed again, same thing. Flashed an earlier version. Also flashed the original 4.0.4. Waited 10 minutes more with every bootloop, pulled battery.
Can't enter recovery to wipe due to power switch beeing physically scraped off from the logic board. Cell phone repair guy could not solder on a new power switch, nor was he able to put electrical current into it by a cable. So repairing is out of the question.
Found some info about how to enter download mode and from there get into recovery by pressing button combination, this does not work for me.
I can get into download mode by using USB JIg. I can also start the device by inserting it and removing after 1-2 seconds.
Is there an alternative way to perform a wipe? How do I get out of this mess?
Doesn't ODIN performed a wipe when flashing stock ROM?
How do I take Blisspop and make it flashable from ODIN?

Hi there,
You must ask in the dedicated forum for this device, but first you must see what exactly model of S3:

[Completed] [Q] Canadian Galaxy S4 Soft bricked can't connect to PC

I had been running cwm on my i7337m s4 and decided to change to twrp because I was having problems flashing cm11
twrp did not work to flash cm11 either so i decided to go back to cwm using the app. I tried to boot into cwm recovery using the app but each time it went back to twrp recovery. So I thought I could use mobile odin pro to flash the cwm .tar file. When i tried to flash cwm using mobile odin my phone soft bricked. I think it's a soft brick at least, I can get into download (odin) mode but not into any recovery mode. I know how to fix a soft brick using pc odin but for some reason my s4 will not connect to my pc. I don't believe it is a driver issue as I have other s4's and s3's that will connect. I use the same cord and same usb port but have tried changing them.
Any advice is appreciated
Edit~
I tried connecting to another computer and still nothing. Both computers recognize my other s4 and s3

[Completed] [Q] Softbricked Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) Kitkat

My N900 got bricked and it cannot get pass the Samsung's boot logo (the static one, not the animation one).
- I had been using rom cook alba19986's UltraLite XXUENI1 on my rooted Note 3 before, all things work perfectly.
- Then I flash kernel Halaszk v0.20 beta, but Synapse didn't work ("No UCI support"), so I flash kernel Halaszk v0.17 in recovery mode. And that's it, the problem occurred.
- Then I got stuck in bootscreen, it went to "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" boot logo and stopped there, I waited but nothing was gonna happen.
- I came back to Recovery Mode, did a full wipe/factory reset, wiped cache, davik cache. But it's no uses.
- I freaked out, so I re-flash Dr.Ketan's K14 rom, TR-ROM T22, alba19986's rom (Full wipe) successfully, but the bootloop happened: the phone continuously rebooted nonstop.
- I tried to flash stock kernel, stock modem in Dr.Ketan's rom (by his MultiTools), but it didn't help.
- Then I downloaded Note 3's stock roms (from SamMobile), which are N900XXUDND1 (contains 4 files inside) and N900XXUDNC1 (5 files inside, one of them is PIT file), and went to Download Mode, flash them via Odin PC v3.10. There was no fail. But the bootloop doesn't go away, even though I did a wipe data/cache (now it returns to Samsung's stock recovery mode)
Please tell me if there's anything that could help me get out of this situation.
I did read the thread here, and here, but my situation might be a bit harder.
Thank you.

[Completed] P-6800 not booting into Download mode.

I installed a stock rom for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) and it was stuck at the flashing SAMSUNG logo (the one with the tune) and so I juct left it there and went to sleep. The next day I tried turning on the tabalet but it didn't work so I booted into Download Mode and did a NAND erase. I was planning to install a stock rom from SAMMOBILE but now I can't boot into Download Mode. When I try to, it goes into the warning screen and after a second or so, it becomes black. I figured it could have been out of battery or a button is broken. I have tried charging the tablet with wall charger (2.1A) but it doesn't seem to work. I could occasionaly get it succesfully into Download Mode but it will turn off itself for no reason.
THERE IS NO OS INSTALLED SO DON'T TELL ME TO GO THE TERMINAL OR ANYTHING. IT IS ABSOULUTLY EMPTY ONLY HARDWARE AND DOWNLOAD MODE.
Anyways, please help. I am trying to get daniel_hk's cyanogen mod on this for my friend and I don't think he would expect me giving a bricked tablet to him.

[Completed] [Q] Screwed up Galaxy S4 rooting and flashing custom rom?

I just recently rooted my Galaxy S4 using Odin and then installed TWRP 2.6.0.0, I then tried to install this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 which is a Android Lollipop 5.0 ROM, I wiped the device using TWRP, followed every step right but when I rebooted the phone it didnt work and now Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 appears when I turn it on only to disappear in a matter of seconds, I can get to download mode and after a couple of tries recovery mode too, my computer doesnt know the phone is there when I plug it in either.... what can I do?! Sorry if I'm not making much sense I'm not too good at things like this
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like you should flash the stock firmware in Odin and start the process all over. Please ask any questions in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 where the experts on your device can help.

[Completed] Note 3 (SM-N900V) Can't boot or flash stock ROM?

I tried flashing a rom using Safestrap (obviously didn't read into everything enough :/ ) So I seem to have hard bricked my device. I have no recovery, I either turn it on and get stuck at the samsung note 3 logo or the Odin Downloader. I've tried flashing the stock rom using Odin and it gets stuck on oboot (or something?) and doesn't move. I'm assuming because USB Debugging isn't on because I can't turn it on since there's no ROM installed? lmao.. Any help appreciated.
