Yeah, I accidentally put my phone in Odin mode once and just pressed the power button again to get out of it. What exactly is the method for getting the phone into Odin mode?

Volume down and power button at the same time

I just did the same thing. Power button + volume forum = odin mode. I was told you go into that mode when you want to push files from your pc to your phone.

Are you certain?
Take the battery out for a minute. Not just a quick second.
And try booting.
If that doesn't work...same method but while holding both volume buttons and power to see if you can access the bootloader.
If not...I don't know what happened.
If you can't access adb/fastboot...it looks like you'll have to use ODIN to factory reset the phone.

i tried that and still nothing , it just boots up like normal. no download mode.

is there another way to get to the download mode?

tried to use computer as power source on laptop and desktop but no luck any other suggestion/

Are you pressing and holding the 1 key on the keyboard and THEN add pressing and holding the power button? Order is important.
Does your 1 key work?

When you say stock, do you mean el30? And is it rooted at least? Or does it have cwm? Maybe just maybe, but I think some custom roms had the option to go into download mode when you shut it off, if its rooted, perhaps you could install cwm from rom manager, boot up cwm, install a rom that has download mode from reboot, I think cwm from acs might even have reboot to download mode? Not sure on this one, just trying to go out on a limb and help if I can.

rooted on darkside ucle beta 7 and it wont boot up or enter recovery. i take the battery out and put it in and the samsung logo shows up and then screen turns black and starts to vibrate

You might be hard bricked unfortunately :-/ someone posted here recently how to unsoftbrick yourself although i didnt read it. It might be your saving grace. Otherwise... See if odin can flash you back to stock. If that doesnt save you then pray that the T mobile gods have mercy on your soul...

Try going to T-Mobile. I'm sure the retail stores can't check if you're rooted if the phones doesn't boot. Maybe they'll exchange for refurbished.

it wont go into recovery and odin recognizes the phone for about 5 seconds before it reboots and vibrates again.

What procedure are you using to get into download mode?
Odin will work you just have to get to download mode. Unless you really messed up something you should still be able to gert into download mode. The phone should not reboot once in download mode. Try pulling the battery then reinserting it but do not turn on the phone then plug the usb wire into the pc then hold both vol buttons and power and insert the usb right away hold until you see it enter download mode then follow the instuctions on the screen. You press vol up to continue into download mode or vol down to cancel and reboot.

Make sure its not completly dead. If it is then plug it up and dont touch it for about 10-15 minutes.. It will reboot and you should be fine

T-Mobile Galaxy S3 won't boot after Odin-HELP

So I just flashed the stock image through Odin (used the USB cable that came with the phone) and it boots past the boot animation(the T-Mobile 4g one) and then just hangs on "SAMSUNG" and it's still glowing and so is the notification LED but it won't boot, it just stays there. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this thing going? Is this a brick? I don't know what is wrong with it.

I believe It is hanging on the kernel (panic.... not you, the phone). Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache? (volume up + home button during hard reset)
Edit: Also what are you flashing from (i.e. CM, AOKP, TW custom ROM)?

if you were on a custom rom prior to reverting to stock, you need to do a wipe in recovery

It took mine a very long time to boot after odin stock flash. But i dont think your screwed since it still powers on. Can you still get into download mode? Try to flash it again and see what happens.

Go into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Then reboot, that should do the trick.

I ran into this exact same issue. I tried flashing kernal and everything after I did odin. What I had to do in order for my phone to boot was boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Keep in mind this was stock recovery so everything on your sd card will be gone after the wipe.

Yes, wish I could boot into recovery but it will not even boot into recovery. Not sure if is a soft brick cannot load a screen regardless

Volume down + home screen + power button doesn't work for download mode? If you're screen is still powering on and showing the battery charging icon and samsung logo you haven't bricked your phone. I know on previous phones I have had that even though it showed nothing but a black screen odin still picked the phone up and was able to flash it.

No, Volume down+home screen+power button only produces the Samsung or the Battery symbol for about a second, goes away and nothing else after that but a black screen, ODIN does not see the phone as it is not powered on, hope that makes sense

Factory reset worked perfectly. Too bad T-Mobile already shipped the replacement.

I can't believe you called T-Mo for a replacement before performing a simple factory reset. Talk about a waste of money. As a future business owner this upsets me.

Oh, Sh*t, I think I just bricked my phone - same thing happened. It now won't even allow me to boot. I took the battery out, unplugged the USB. Plugged the USB in and then put the battery back in. The LED light comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes off and stays OFF. I've tried POWER+UP/DOWN volume and HOME...still no avail.
The computer does recognize [the phone] when I plug it in by making a thumping sound and then it makes a few thumping sounds and then that's it.
PLEASE HELP!

Ok take a breather, stress makes this seem like a catastrophe.
Pull the battery. Put in the battery. It won't turn on after a battery pull until you turn it on, which is why it's recommended. Press and hold volume up + power and home at the same time when you feel the first rumble and see the Samsung logo let go of power and keep holding the other two buttons.
Its literally all about timing. Might take two or three tries.
Trust me there is no damage from a boot loop. I flashed back to stock this morning and had to do the same thing I'm explaining right now. Took me 3 tries and I've done this a hell of a lot of times.

Pull the battery. Replace. Immediately press Vol up + home + power in that order. Do not just press the power button first nor just by itself. Release just the power button as soon you get a vibrate

Just do this:
Hook up the phone without a battery... While holding only Home and Vol-Down insert the battery and continue to hold them... The USB will force it into Download mode while holding them and putting in the battery... Flash it with Odin...
