No matter how hard I try I can't seem to boot into download mode with the battery in or out the power and 1 button won't work any ideas?
Have you tried a USB jig?

Nope.... only other way?
Hold down menu and A as its powering up, then when its on the Sense screen, press 1 and it should boot into download mode.
REMEMBER, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EFS CLEAR

Hey Biggoron, I've had success holding the 2 button and power. Give that a shot and see if that works for ya!
Try typing "d-o-w-n-l-o-a-d-m-o-d-e" while holding the power and camera buttons, that always seems to do it for me
Doesnt up down up down left right left right A B A B select start get you into download mode?

Is there a mod like that...where I could use the home button to wake my
Phone because my power button just popped off yesterday...or know any to me that do that...I know Pacman Rom does...thanks in advance...

Thought all ROMs allowed it unless they removed it.

I think the OP meant to have the phone POWER UP using that button, instead of wake up....
If that is the case, I've never seen that, would be interesting. Should not have said "wake" OP, wake insinuates it was sleeping (screen just off) not "dead". You said that it was in the Pac Man rom where did you find it there?
You can try to change key layout. Make nandroid backup for safty and go to system/usr/kaylayout. I don't know which key is which so you would have to look around in there. I can't guarantee that this will work because I never tried that, but it should. Let us know about results.
Good luck

No I just ment wake up...cause to get to my recovery i have to use a paperclip to push in where my power button was...but yeah I ment wake up so I could still wake it up to even use my phone but im gonna check yhose files ill tell you what I find...thanks for the help guys...

This thread should answer your questions. Instead of removing wake make sure wake is included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836758
Pretty sure only a couple roms removed that, every rom I've tried wakes up with the home button. About all but 4 lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If you ment just wake up I'm going to look which files and keys I have for that and I will give you names of them so you can edit them.
Update: Ok, I've checked that and it seems that key 172 in sec_keys.kl is home button. So if you would just add "WAKE" after it then you should be ok. I think that if you would also add "POWER" then it should power on or off (?) your phone. I don't know how you would be able to get to recovery then but it's interesting. Maybe phone will think that you press both buttons? xD

As a workaround to get into recovery without using a paperclip, you can use any of a number of apps that have a reboot to recovery option.

How do I enter recovery mode? It doesn't seem like its so straightforward as the GNexus. (Vol. Down + power button)
Just the booting process alone has ate up 20% battery in 5 minutes..

It should. Use quick boot?

Vol up + power. When you see the bootloader hit vol down twice then power.

Is it possible to get into recovery on a stock phone?

During my latest factory resort I did the whole pus volume up + home + power sequence. When I got to theme boot screen I had all the usual stuff but I noticed that at the bottom was the green android guy laying down with his chest open and a red exclamation mark coming out of it. Is this normal?

Thanks. Just leaning about ROMs and what not. Loving this phone.

if you are planning to root your phone, i'd suggest get TWRP recovery instead of CWM, a lot more friendly to use.
Yeah. Soooo many things to choose from now lol

I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with the menu and back button not registering touch sometimes? My menu button does it more than the back button. Sometimes I have to restart the phone to get it to start working again or hit the home button and then it works. Anyone else have this issue?

My brothers S3 is soft bricked, it boots but will not go into recovery mode. It will go into download mode but before I am able to flash anything it shuts off. I made sure that the battery was fully charged. Any suggestions?

Whwn you go into download mode are you connected to ODIN? Does Odin at least see the device?
Odin recognizes it but before it can do anything the phone shuts off

Make sure it has a satisfying click when pressed. If yes than I'm wrong. If not than try pressing it a couple times or spraying compressed air at it.
