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.

OK I was trying to flash an unlocked kernal via ODIN last night, something went wrong and now phone is stuck on the phone--!--computer screen. I cannot get past this screen. vol+home+power doesn't do anything but loop to the same screen.
It shows ODIN MODE in red at the top of the screen, but ODIn won't recognize the phone, nor will Kies (not running at the same time). Computer makes USB connected/disconnected sound when I plug and unplug the phone.
I have tried One-Click Unbrick, did not recognize that phone was connected.

there''s currently nothing to flash this phone
it came out only 2 days ago
DEV are still working on finding root
so, the best suggestion is to take it back to the store and get it exchanged
or wait a few more days/weeks until a flashable release becomes available to fix the mistake
I know, I was hasty and now this. Even when there something available to flash, the device isn't being recognized by ODIN. Any troubleshooting help for this?
When I managed to get my Vibrant into that mode I could pull the battery, hold volume up, put the battery in, press and release power (still holding volume up) and it'd kick back into download mode everytime. Once in download mode I could plug the USB in and a running ODIN would see it pop up. If ODIN wasn't running and USB was already plugged in things wouldn't work right.
I haven't tried ODIN on the GS2 yet (I'll wait for a root ). I did find the vibrant nearly impossible to brick though... trust me I unexpectedly tried quite hard.
You might need the newest ODIN for GS2 support, and possibly newer drivers.

I'm a bit new to this, but a custom ROM shouldn't affect your recovery mode. Are you sure you are using the correct buttons and methods to boot recovery?
Might want to make a new thread instead of necroing something from when the phone was 2 days old.
I have GT I9100 and done the same thing and got the same result . stuck at setup connection with odin
Please Help
Go into device manager when is plugged in and if it says qhd-usb or something like that its a hard brick. What tipped me off was you said it makes two noises when you plug in. that's a tell tell sign your hard bricked

You should try to uninstall then reinstall driver, and try another usb port. In my experience, Odin seems to be picky, it only recognizes your phone if you plug it in the usb port that you used in the first time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Recovery is accessed by holding both vol + and - while starting the phone. Hold them both while pressing the power button, then release the power button when it vibrates, keep holding the vol buttons till you see the recovery screen.

i tryed this but still odin does not recognize my phone. (no yellow box shows up)
I tried to root my sgs3 today and wasn't paying attention and used the wrong guide. I used the stuff for the non-us phones. Now when I turn my phone on, the only thing that shows up is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I've tried using kies to reset it but I had never used it previously so it is unable to connect to the phone. It basically has 2 states now, off and the one described. is there any way to fix this?
Try flashing the stock firmware using Odin and then root your phone(with the correct guide this time )

Enter download mode by pressing the three keys power button+home key+volume down.
If it doesnt work enter recovery mode by pressing power button+ home key+volume up
And if both won't work you might have to use a usb jig

listen to what people are saying to you. go into download mode. Your phone turns on and it should be able to go into download mode now. I wouldn't mess with command prompt if i were you or your friend. Once your in download mode download the stock image for your carrier and the correct phone model and flash it through odin

Pull the batter and put it back after a few seconds, then press and hold power, home, and volume down until the custom os warning screen appears. Then press volume up to confirm download mode and use Odin to flash.

Just to clear things up. When the device says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." It is putting itself into download mode and you should see the normal download mode text at the top of the screen to clarify "Product Name, Custom Binary, ETC". The previous posters are correct, you must flash via odin. Follow the guide here very carefully and it should be fixed.

Remember the recovery screen you are seeing IS download mode so pretend you already put the phone in download mode and follow it from there.
Best of luck!
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.

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

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.

Make sure you have the Samsung device driver installed on the PC. Also might try it on another PC if you have that option and see if Odin can connect to device.

First, Tablet needs to be switched off. Then, press "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons together. Once the screen lightens, release the buttons and follow the instructions on the screen.
In case you need to go to recovery mode, press "Power" and "Volume Up" buttons together (also the tablet must be switched off first).
I bricked mine trying to go back to stock rom ?
Few days ago i flashed the Twrp recovery and yesterday i decided to remove it. I locked OEM and it bricked(take a loot at the picture).
The problem is that i can't enter in download mode since i bought it. To flash TWRP, I had to use adb command to reboot the tablet in download mode, but now, bricked, there is no way to use adb.
I had many Samsung devices, so i know how to enter in download mode , in this case power volume + volume -.
Does anyone know some kind of software that when you connect tablet with PC, tablet will enter in download mode?
I think that warranty is voided, so i just don't want to go to a samsung service center.

You forgot to unlock OEM vin dev mode indeed. The only way to get ride about it is to reinstall stock with Odin. I'm really surprised you can't natively go in download mode with hardware buttons. Have you also tried with buttons with your tab connected to an electrical plug?

Hello, I had the problem similar to yours. in practice I have an unlocked OEM S4 tab and Magisk 18.0 installed come on, only that my problem was that I suddenly used the device my device lost the root rights. Then I restarted and reinstalled with TWRP Magisk 18 I restarted in System and everything was ok! yesterday I started reading my message (photos you uploaded on OneDrive) How did you solve it? I have read the discussion but I do not understand how you shave the command ..
