3. remove battery
4. hold volume- home and power while inserting the battery
5. smile you should be in recovery

getting into recovery mode isn't hard -- you can use ADB tools and it's MUCH easier
the problem is getting into download mode -- I was told these are different ?
You can go into download mode with adb too or something similar, i'll try to find the link when i get to my desktop

Can those who have 3 button disable try wht the OP suggested ? I dont understand wht u 2 are talking about :S
Yes getting into recovery/download is easy w/o 3 button when u have a working firmware, its when u don't u end up a with a $600 brick. If what OP says is true, it should allow u 2 enter recovery/download even in a situation like the one previously described.
Wow - if this works it could really help a lot of folks out... anybody without 3-button recovery want to try this?

Tried the procedure described but no luck at all (at least with my phone). Thanks for the trick though.
I'm already sick and tired of having to cross my fingers every time I flash a firmware via ODIN, knowing that I only have one shot to get it right.
Assuming if this procedure works, will the phone be able to get into recovery mode the next time without connecting to Odin?
If it doesn't, the phone is still going to be a brick when it fails to boot.
anyone got link for Odin4?
i'm still using Odin3
I tried this also. Doesn´t work for me.
Seems rather pointless plugging it in to Odin if the computer cannot recognize the phone, if it could...then we wouldn´t have a problem to begin with.
Simple write up for now...simplicity is the key here....
and let me explain first what I did...flashed a rom using rogue recovery on Caulkins ICS 1.6 I think...
things I tried and did not work...
*zimage script for windows copied went through...but did not work considering system was M.I.A. and SU wasnt present to finish the job...
*hold down button does not bring you into download mode as expected...
HOWEVER...if it seems all you can manage to do is boot into the rogue recovery and the sd cards and backups are all whacky...then you my friend still have a option....use ADB COMMANDS while connected in recovery mode...
adb reboot download
and your phone should now be in download mode...
p.s.-if this has been covered already please disregard and be on your way i suppose...otherwise if this has helped you please hit the thanks button XD
Don't think this will work from a hard brick.
BUT
Even though you can get into download mode, doesn't mean anything you try to Odin will work. It'll stall at data.img or something similar.

why is this in development? and how is that different than pulling the battery and reinserting it and holding vol down + power?
this is in the stickies and super basic knowedge...
mmk
everyone must have MISTAKEN ME...
I COULD NOT...to save my life get into download mode via holding vol down button...nor would it boot...
nor am I a noob at any of this...
there was nothing on the phone but a borked recovery...
the one from ics roms (rogue I think) ...I did the stupid and flashed a rom while using rogue...
and wiped...my phone completely bricked...
no download no nothing...
took me a hour...but then I realized as long as there is recovery I should still have adb.
and yes it actually took in odin...my phone is been running perfect stock for last couple of days now...
downloaded modem and data.img with no problems...
sorry I wasn't quick on the reply but guys come on...
I know the sticky is there...this was a complete different situation than anything I seen in the sticky...
and also putting anything on SD card and trying to either flash or restore would not work seeming the sd cards in the recovery are backwards...emmc reads sd card...and vice-versa...
so thanks for the know-it-all guys who didn't read saying I COULDNT GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE and I wouldnt of posted it if it didn't work....

this still doesnt make sense.. either your button is broken, or you werent doing it right..
also, if you can adb into recovery there are hundreds of ways to fix that problem, you are nowhere near bricked. you just have a messed up flash. if your sds are swapped and you cant get to them and flash, thats an error with the recovery, but you can still adb in and copy them to a place you can flash from. you can even flash directly from adb.. but nothing you did from add, nor recovery could restore your download mode. if you lose that you need a JTAG.
About 20 minutes ago I started Flashing Android Revolution HD on my device then the screen went black. Nothing's happened since then and now it won't start up or anything. What's going on?
I do believe that rom is for the international gs3.

I have the tar file in PDA on ODIN, but I can't get my device into download mode because it won't respond. I tried hitting start on Odin anyway but nothing happened.
I was thinking I could tell my computer somehow the device is my phone but I'm not sure if that would help without it being in download mode.
Edit: I'm reading through the post and discovered people in a similar position to me, my charging light does turn on red with no battery in. I'll see if there's some magic fix on that thread somewhere.

Okay so we need to focus on getting your phone into DL mode. Pull the battery for one minute and hold the power button down for ten seconds; re-insert the battery and try to get into DL mode again.

If you're sure you can't get into download mode then your best bet is to get a USB jig. They're fairly inexpensive, i'll link you one. This jig has good reviews and works for pretty much any Samsung device with DL mode:

Hello. I bought a Samsung Galaxy s 4g sprint from someone. It turns on and goes straight into recovery mode, but it recovery mode you cant move any of the options.. it just stays there... is there any way to make it work? Please Help!
See if you can get into download mode. (Three finger boot) If you can, then you can use Odin to reflash recovery and flash a ROM. Since you are having issues, it wouldn't hurt to just Odin stock FC09 and you know you're starting fresh. (Check repartition)
If you decide to Odin FC09, you will then have to Odin CWM or TWRP with reboot unchecked, pull the battery and boot into recovery. Once in recovery again you can flash any Epic 4G ROM that is compatible with the Epic modem. You have to go through those steps because the stock kernel will reinstall the stock recovery upon the reboot.

Yep Roms go on sdcard. It sounds like you have a bad flash of something. So you can try the recovery flash in Odin and see if that helps. The better solution, albeit with more steps involved to get back on custom, would be to use Odin and flash stock FC09 with repartition check just in case.

Also be sure you have a GOOD cable not the charging cable that came with the phone. Most people have good luck with BlackBerry cables.

Yea the first link will work if your phone just turns on and goes straight to recovery mode because you will be going into to download mode by holding 1 on the keyboard and the power button until you see a yellow android guy pop up that's pushing something. Recovery mode and download mode are different.
Yea, sorry I didn't provide links. I was on my N7 when replying. Like I suggested eariler, check out the video tutorials on using odin to get to stock and rooting our phone. vwags already provide the link for both Odin and FC09 tar.
The problem i am having is that when i connect the usb in w/o battery is that it shows the charging logo and then 5 secs later it just turns off? any suggestions? thank you very much

Have the battery in the phone when you connect the usb to your pc.
alright i will try this, but even when i try charging it with the battery in .. it just shows a charging symbol (for like 1 sec) and goes straight to recovery mode... when at recovery mode it just shows options and then it says to move volume rocker and press okay on options... the thing is that when i move the volume rocker the options stays the same... this also happens when i use the usb w/o battery... i will try with battery but i doubt anything will change... also i dont have a sd card in it when i do all of this ... if that even matters... thanks alot for the replies

Ok.
1. Turn off device.
2. Leave battery in.
3. Press and hold the #1 key and then Power button until you get into download mode. (Android w/ shovel inside yellow triangle.)
4. Start Odin on your PC.
5. Connect phone to computer via micro USB cable. You will see in Odin, a yellow box with "COM" and some #. That means your phone is recognized. If not, you need to reinstall drivers.
6. Place FC09 tar file in the PDA slot.
7. Check repartition & auto reboot.
8. Click start.
9. Process takes about 2-6mins. The first boot takes about 5mins.
10. Profit, b/c you're on 100% stock like out the box.
From there, I'd suggest updating your profile and PRL in settings > about phone. Then you can follow the video on rooting & flashing.

I should have asked this in my first reply.
Since we're still at the "get into download mode phase"... I need to make sure that you are on the SPH-D700 Epic 4G, and not the SPH-D710 Epic 4G Touch. The Touch doesn't have the physical slider keyboard.
Moneystack23 - What happens when you have the battery in and press and hold the number 1 on the top left of the keyboard and then at the same time press and hold the power button for atleast 5 seconds?
Edit: I'm asking because I think your pressing and holding vol down, camera and power button which is not how you get into download mode on the samsung Epic 4g.

My phone is stuck at the samsung logo for about 30 min. I tried flashing another rom but it didnt work. I can access download mode but not recovery mode.
What is my possible solution?

If you can get into download mode, then ODIN TWRP to your phone. Or ODIN the proper rooted ROM.

I flashed TWRP and tried booting into recovery mode but it doesnt work I get the samsung logo and in the top left hand corner I get recovery boot in blue text then after that it goes black

All the ROMs I know require you to flash via ClockworkMod is there any ROMs you can flash with Odin?

Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates and you see the blue text, release just the power button

Uhhg
Just 5 minutes of reading and looking for and answer and you wouldn't have to make this thread -_-

Any of those firmwares will work on a i747
If you have a i747M or you're not ATT look here and select your correct phone information in the drop down boxes:

These will restore you to factory, you will still have to root.
I still cant get my phone to work.
I have done this many times and the galaxy s3 logo comes up and then nothing..
I wasnt rooting my phone i was charging it last night.... the phone got hot so i unplugged. I tried to turn it on in the morning and it wouldnt turn on. i know how to put my phone in recovery mode, ive done it before but it wont. it will go into download mode but thats.about. it. I know i dont know much about phones but i know how to put it in recovery mode to clear the cache and that isnt working.... any thoughts?

Does the phone actually connect to your pc? I assume you have the proper drivers installed? Open odin while in download mode and see if it detects the phone. Sounds as if the phone's bootloader is screwed. If its detected you should be able to fix without much trouble. Sometimes you have to flash the original stock rom as the newer ones sometime have trouble for whatever reason. Version 4.0.4 i believe.

I dont have odin on this computer, when i plug it in it isnt recognized, i assumed that was because it wasnt technically powered on. I guess i'll take it to someone tomorrow to have it looked at.... im so out of my element here... thanks.

If you can get the phone into download mode , it should auto install your drivers and make it recognizable by Odin.
