I encourage anyone concerned about the availability of the 3 button download mode, or other issues, to comment on the Samsung Facebook page. I already posted a comment and got a response I find somewhat disturbing... maybe there is strength in numbers.

Make sure he doesn't duck the question. 3 button means that experienced end users can actually fix a bad flash (lol @ Kies) without having to lose their phone for a month (Allgamer is at the 3 week mark now after sending his phone in).
Hopefully they will provide an answer. I have since returned mine back to Future Shop. I've tried 4 other phones hoping to be able to do an exchange, but all of them had 3 button recovery disabled. If they release a fix for this I will buy the phone in an instant.
I saw your post over there...
Exactly what I figured their response would be... I for one am not holding my breath for an update through Samsung to enable 3 button recovery.
They messed though by inexplicably letting some through with it enabled...Makes it hard to justify why some have it and some don't... If anything, expect an update to disable it on the ones that have it enabled!
I hope otherwise, but in all seriousness, the majority of users will likely never have to use recovery and the average user out there is not an xda-developpers member. Yes, Samsung will have to deal with bricks but probably in their mind, they are making it slightly harder to do 'unauthorized' stuff.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. No recovery mode, no sale.

Meh, I am not going that far. Recovery mode is a nice to have but it is not going to deprive me of the best phone on the market by miles (there is not a phone that is going to be better than the 3GS for at least 6 months or more, nothing is in the pipeline that comes close)

Until you accidentally brick it, then you are paying $60 a month while it goes off to get fixed. Yes, it's awesome hardware, but without 3 button, it's not worth it to me. I'm also stubborn enough to demand a resolution to this issue before forking out the money a 2nd time
I've left a comment of the Facebook page. Let's hope someone hears something. Going back to using my iPhone has killed me.
wow samsung come on your slacking
Samsung Mobile Canada Hi Jason. 3 button download mode is for internal firmware functions and is not recommended to end-users. It’s typically used by technicians to service malfunctioning phones. Modifying the internal firmware on a mobile phone device may void the warranty. What function you are trying to do? Maybe we can help find another way. Feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-SAMSUNG and we'll see how we can help. Thank
sounds like they could fix it but might not if your dumb enough to flash your bell sgs and have the 3 button combo disabled best of luck to you
haha sumsung cant ignore facebook
ive taken back 6 phones 600x6 is 3600 worth of phones lol and they all didnt have recovery so i took them back best buys 100% satisfaction guarantee gotta love it
Smash them boys!
I strongly recommend that you start new fresh posts each time instead of replying into a long one. Multiple posts on the wall are much more visible and potentially effective.
Come one guys, hit them hard (while staying polite obviously)

If I am unlucky enough to brick it (which, despite my rants, is pretty hard to actually do in practice.... as long as you are flashing with a stable laptop it is not going to brick), then I'll get it replaced under warranty. The odds of me flashing it again after Froyo is out are near zero.
See, unlike WinMo, you don't have to re-flash Android to customize it, nearly everything on the phone can be customized in-line. All the stuff Cyogen etc. are doing can be done without flashing the phone, so you don't have to worry about bricking it
I learned from my years with my HTC dev. that re-flashing every few weeks is a huge pain in the butt, and I don't plan on doing that again with this phone.

Although I wouldn't term myself a pro at all, I am not a noob when it comes to rooting and installing other ROMs. I have rooted many of my Android phones over the years and have diligently read and re-read posts when it comes to rooting and installing ClockworkMod recovery and other ROMs.
Last week, I made a big boo-boo!
I searched for "Sprint SGS3 alternate ROMs" and found a CNet article (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/top-5-samsung-galaxy-s3-custom-roms-50009440/) listing the different ROMs. I downloaded a couple (Hawkish and Energy) and promptly tried to install them. I got some error message in CWM. I then rebooted after cleaning caches, dalvik etc.
My phone wouldn't start at all!!!
I tried all the keypresses to get things working but absolutely nothing. The unit wouldn't turn on even with a separately fully charged battery. I tried to borrow a USB Jig from a user in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869203) but no-one was able to help. As the phone was my only phone (no landline) I was readying myself to pay the $60 that one of the other sites charged to JTag the unit.
Before I did that, I decided to take it in to Sprint, and told the technician I made a mess up. They didn't ask anything about what I did and took it to the back for about half an hour. They weren't able to do anything as the unit didn't switch on, but said that I could get a replacement for $50.
I did that and a few days later they swapped out the non-working unit for a working one. I was expecting to pay a whole lot more.
I learned the lesson the hard way: even if I search for "Sprint" the results aren't necessarily going to be for my unit. I should have read (and re-read!) the posts a whole lot more clearly about the other ROMs - they were not for the Sprint unit.
I hope my hard lesson will help others be a wee bit more cautious - even if you have been customizing a long time!
This is about the 100th post this month of people flashing roms for other carriers on a Sprint S3. A simple search in the Q&A would have probably alerted you to the facts.

I *do* realize that I flashed the wrong ROM. The point of my post was to illuminate that it's not only noobies who get things wrong.
Even though I read what I thought was for Sprint, my presumption got in the way and I didn't realize until it was too late that it was not the ROM in the Sprint section of Http://www.xda-developers.com/ that I thought I was reading about.
I took responsibility for my mistake and paid the money to rectify my error.
I am hoping that my misfortune with be a cautionary tale for others to double (and triple) check.
Just because we've done things successfully many times before doesn't mean we're avert to the same errors as noobies.

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
Feel bad but at the same time I dont. You should know a bit better to be sure that you can use that ROM/kernel/zip etc. If you doubt yourself ask in the thread or forum. We all don't know everything there is to rooting and flashing

Odexed Blue by Strong Steve + Ktoonz w/ Team Kernelizers tweaks
In the cnet article it had this in the "getting started section"
Just bear in mind that if your S3 handset is not version number I9300 -- and it almost certainly is if you bought it in the UK -- then bad things can happen. So it's worth quickly checking your phone's settings before proceeding.

I have to give you credit Iconboy for taking responsibility and paying for a new phone. Even though you messed up you admitted it. A lot of people that have done the same thing have posted things like "can I throw my phone in a river" or "can I just tell sprint that the OTA broke my phone". Thanks for doing it right.

I did the same thing with my S3 about a month ago, Was on a flashing frenzy and didn't read enough about the rom i was flashing. After the flash my phone wouldn't do anything at all, just a paperweight. Took it into sprint and paid for a new one. Mistake learned, its part of being human.

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
Like others have said, props for owning your mistake. However, the "noob" label applies to you, whether you think so or not. There were so many signs you were walking down the wrong path (including an explicit warning on the very page) the very first being that you were on a .uk website. I'm not posting this about that though, I just don't seem to understand why so many people feel the need to venture away from xda to acquire ROMs, this site if full of great ROMs made by great devs, not sure what more people need to end up flashing things they find on international news sites. Yes, there are other established sites, but usually they overlap with this site. That is to say, if there's something awesome happening somewhere else, you'll hear about it here (with a few exceptions).
Whether I am classified as a "noob" or not ... I have flashed custom ROMs on four or five different Android phones over the years.
The Motorola Photon was one where I thought I had a paperweight (nope...not an int'l ROM that time - Ha! Ha!) but because of XDA, I was able to get it working again after many errors. Decent little phone that one.
My error, my expense, my fault on the SGS3. Thankfully I have a working unit and can put the old EVO in the drawer as a backup - it is sloooow!

Glad you got it worked out. Its not easy admitting (and on the internet to say the least) that you had made a mistake even as a seasoned flasher. Its never easy to admit an error, at all
I agree with metalfan above and I applaud you, you made a mistake and you paid for it, lesson learned
Well... Don't re-read is for noobs. Sorry if that hurts you.

You may not be a "noob" in the technical sense of that term, but as you already know, the mistake you made was an amateurish one. For one, you were on a .uk website, and second, the very article mentions that you have to be mindful of your model number and specifically mentions buying in the UK. There were at least 3 checkpoints in that article that should have prompted further scrutiny on your part. I do commend you for taking responsibility for your actions and for you PSA to be careful about what you flash, and I do understand how you got tripped up. This is probably the first Android phone that was released to multiple carriers worldwide. Also, what I would like to see from devs is a conspicuous message in the OP of their ROM about specifically which carrier/version their ROM is for. Often that is not mentioned.
So let me prose this question to everyone calling him a noob (including our devs) - why don't devs write their install scripts to read the current build.prop to check for the correct model before the wipe & install begins? If this is happening hundreds of times per month, a pretty small amount of scripting could probably stop this from happening 99% of the time.

Good point. Bad code leads to bad problems. And its actually a very simple line of code in the updater-script that would abort, but increasingly people are dropping that habit and changing to a no-check install
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device")=="DEVICE_NAME" && getprop("ro.product.board")=="DEVICE_NAME")

How about a counter point, if the noobs would read before flashing, it would stop this from happening 100% of the time! If you don't have time to read before trying to mod your device, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place...
Will always wonder why people find the right place just a second after they turn theirs phones into a fully functional brick.

hi everyone! I am seeking your expertise as I came upon this forum trying to help my son fix his phone. He's only 11 years old- but as we call him at home our "tech guy". He got a brand new HTC One M8 (carrier is ATT) yesterday and 3 hours later - the phone was "bricked" as I have been told. Apparently, (these are his words) he "unlocked the bootloader using HTCdev, then flashed twrp, then flashed supersu.zip.
I have no idea what any of that means but apparently he did something wrong because his phone is not working and we don't know how to fix it. If you have any compassion for a frustrated Mom who's trying not to be angry with her son -- I would appreciate any advice you can give on how to fix this.
I have attached a picture of what the phone looks like when we turn it on. I also posted this under the ATT forum too.
Thanks in advance for your help!
You bought your 11 year old son an M8?
Do you adopt?

Going by the pic, the bootloader has been relocked. So that's a problem. The bootloader will need to be unlocked again. I would suggest heading over to Youtube, as I have found video tutorials the most helpful when I was learning this stuff. There are plenty of videos that are even specific to the M8.
Edit: I should also point out that a phone can almost always be saved/restored if it still powers on. So don't panic. It would probably be in your best interest though to find someone experienced to fix it. Trying to explain the process to fix it here is not going to be helpful to someone who doesn't know what they're doing. If you can't find someone experienced, then my best suggestion, as stated above, would be to watch some Youtube tutorials on unlocking/rooting the M8.
Okay. In all seriousness.
When was this screen grab taken? In other words, is this your current position with the phone?
Relocked... etc etc
Are you in the US on AT&T?
Your tech son needs to restore ATT backup.. Hopefully someone in that forum has it

UPDATE on my son
Thank you all so much for your responses! It is much appreciated. Believe it or not - this kid fixed it all by himself. Basically (remember I am not technical) he unlocked the boot loader then flashed a ROM onto an SD card and was able to load. Don't think I worded correctly - but I think you know what I am talking about -- it's fixed and working fine. WHEW!!
I guess he "retraced" the steps he did last night and was able to get it. Actually it's strange the first ROM he put on wasn't allowing him to find or pick up wifi. He found another and got it. This kid is good!
I will certainly keep the info to this forum handy because something tells me that I will be visiting again with this child..................
Have a great evening!!
p.s. I typed the wrong key -- he's 12 not 11 And - sure I'd adopt! But he did save up his own money to get this phone and only wanted it to do these "cool" things as he says to it.....rest of my family - we are simple and use Iphones -- sorry.
All I can say to this is Wow!!

I'm glad to hear everything worked out for you and your son.
It's great to know that you're letting your kid tinker around as he is. I know these are quite expensive devices, but we often do learn from our mistakes, and that is even more true when it comes to technology. I'm sure that I have a bit of a bias being a software developer, but tech is such a huge part of life now, and that is only going to become more so with time. So getting an early start as he is, your son is going to have a leg-up in the world, even if he doesn't choose this type of field as a career path.

Thanks!! He's very into all of this stuff and always has been from a very young age -- started with Legos at 2. He doesn't play sports and this is his "thing". He really LOVES all this stuff. He's actually really good and understands most things. As you can see - we certainly have issues now and then but overall we certainly let him "tinker". I really should write stuff down so we can laugh about it in about 10 years. We tried to limit his Internet time a couple of years ago and added a password on his computer that we had to input on his computer to gain access. Little **** put a keystroke logger on the computer to get the password. Then he somehow modified the main password screen to say PENIS when we logged on. The stories go on and on....... We will let him continue his technology building and hopefully he really have a bright future in technology!
Thanks for all of the input and support from this forum!

I was the same from an early age and always have been. I have taken apart or modified more household items than I can think of. I broke a lot of stuff messing as a kid, but now I have a lot of knowledge and can fix almost any thing properly.
It seems you are not so bad yourself with the technical stuff as most moms wouldn't have a clue or even be able to repeat what you have explained here.
I have a SGS3 from ST my sons friend thought he was some kind of genus phone god and was gonna, so he said make it faster. all he did was soft brick it. moral there is never forget your phone at home while at work.
It took me almost two years I believe but I got a rom on it. I went with wicked sensations 5 and anaconda as a theme. It made the phone fast and looks awesome cudos you guys, great design. There is just one problem its on sprints atm's and I cant for the life of me figure out how to change it. I tried every trick I could think of. it wont allow me to use any program off Google store and it wont allow me to do it manually. The mobile settings arnt even even there and there is no manual place to manually change any thing please guys I am begging for help. mean while I am wasting my $45.00 card and money does not come easy to me I am disabled for the time being while my neck and back heal. So please please tell me how to change to ST numbers I have the numbers it just doesn't give me a place to put them.
I'm thinking that you are talking about APNs not ATMs. I have placed a link in the post that may help you out. I see you are posting in the Sprint forum and the link is for the Verizon S3 so this is mostly a "here is basically what you're looking for." You will need to flash the ZIP file while in recovery for the APNs to work. In my experience I have always had to flash right after I initially flash the ROM but before I reboot, other people may have had other experiences. You might try a google search for: Straight Talk APN S3 Zip verizon/sprint/at&t/etc.

On a side note, your post has some errors with the terminology and grammar used. The biggest part here is using the proper terms. I think you would have better success if you did that.
I'm sorry if I come off like a mean person but I want to be helpful. I really do wish you the best.
I am S-On, AT&T 1.58 stock rooted (from Miller_kid's upload deodexed dated 5/15/2014). It took me close to 3 weeks just to get the SIM to recognize (eye-rolling expected here).
I guess my primary question is: can I install a Tmobile 5.02 mod (of course after doing a backup and wipe).
My secondary question is: does the bootloader need to be relocked for normal operation?
Sorry to sound so clueless, but I'm horrified at the prospect of the phone giving me that HTC ONE white screen blank stare and not doing anything else! All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
its such a lovely feeling to realize that you're not quite as clueless as you once thought you were.
I figured "what the hell ... the phone's been a brick for three weeks ... why should i give a **** what else i do to it now anyway?" And went to town with InsertCoin's incredibly reliable and stable mods ... Wow you guys are terrific and extremely responsive. $$$$ coming ur way!
so F - U At&T .... (and actually TMob can suck my ballz too, but what the hell ... they are carrying me at the mo, so ... )
It amazes me that after 15 years AT&T doesn't even bother to ask why I might be just cancelling my 2 line account ... maybe they actually realize they've been violating me without my permission every month for that long. I suggest that everyone tired of the rates they're being charged -- when u get ready to drop the carrier, go in person. That way you can at least have some fun and tell them that now that there is a person shaking your hand representing the company, you could (if you really wanted to be nasty) call the police and say you had been raped. there was physical contact, afterall.
Oh my what fun that could start!! The looks on faces would be utterly priceless. (see what kind of lunacy all this phone tension creates? madness. geez)
