i had trinitys kernel and cm9 nightly 7/21 installed on my s3. i saw the trinity 43b and decided to update to the newest kernel aswell as cm9 nightly aug01. so i backed up my apps and rebooted to recovery. wiped dalvik cache and flashed newest cm9 nightly aswell as kernel, rebooted and the screen goes blank before the boot animation. the phone appears off after the galaxy SIII logo. so i figured i need to do a clean wipe helped vol up plus power and it boots like normal. i cant seem to get into recovery no matter how many times i try. any ideas? if i could access the download screen i would reflash with ODIN but i cant do that neather.
Hold down volume down+home button and then power for about 5 seconds then release only power button continue holding down vol. down and menu. Should kick you into dl mode. Doing the same with volume up should get you into recovery.

I've been running various CM9 nightlies for a while now and I use CWM and ROM Manager to handle updating. Today I accidentally put CM10 over CM9, it booted but things were messed up. I then figured I'd just try putting CM9 over that and see what would happen rather than reverting to a backup. Now it's stuck on the CM9 boot animation. That just keeps running endlessly.
I can't get into recovery though. I hold power, volume up and home, the phone vibrates, and Samsung appears briefly on the screen, then nothing. As soon as I release the buttons it just starts a normal boot. I'm not sure how many minutes I need to hold the buttons, but I'm pretty sure I've tried it long enough. Using power, volume down and home I got into the download screen, but I'm not sure what I should do with that at this point.
Is there some trick to getting a T-mobile phone into restore? I thought when I originally rooted it I had to release one of the buttons at a certain time to get into download mode.

Try booting into download, CANCELING, then immediately holding home and vol up. See if that works.
I managed to get into recovery by holding the three buttons and as soon as I saw the Samsung logo I released all three buttons and if finally worked. I'll keep that other method in mind if I continue having issues, thanks.
Now hopefully my backup will take.
Flashed a new kernel with aokp jb with the lastest update, and when I went to fix permission it look an accessive amount of time so I waited and waited until I restarted the phone. Now the phone just boot loops, as soon as it hits the aokp animation. Held down the menu and volume button on boot and it brought me to an area where if I press the volume up button I can "install a customer os" then it brings me to "ODIN MODE" and has the andriod dude pic and says downloading do not turn off target..... however it just hangs there and hasn't done anything past that point.. Any ideas?
You need to hold menu and vol+

vol + and menu for recovery mode
vol - and menu for download mode
if fixing the permissions don't fix the problem, check if you pick a kernel for ICS or JB. If you have the right kernel, perform a full wipe and flash your rom again and see if it boots.
Reinstall aokp and full wipe. Let it boot once before installing a custom kernel. Its a common occurrence and a known "problem." Just let it boot once as stock aokp and you should be fine.
partial boot, power off
I have a similar problem, I have an At&t samsung galaxy s3 I had flashed a Rom that I didn't like and was restoring from previous back up, I didnt want to re load all the apps and data I had on that restore as I was running low on device memory so I went to "advanced restore" and there were 4 options to choose, I chose the top option. I don't recall what it is because I cant get into recovery now doing the menu volume+ or using the jig I have to get into Download mode and start over completely. When I power on it flashed Samsung, then Samsung galaxy s3 then screen goes black and powers off. I am assuming when I chose the 1st option I restored the OS but not the bootloaders. I have read previously how to load them from the sd card but can't find that post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone,
I recently flashed the new Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC ROM but it didn't occur to me that I needed to flash a matching GAPPS as well (I'm new to the whole modding thing and the download page for CM10.1 didn't include the GAPP). So now I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 but no google apps, and apparently no access to the Clockworkmod Recovery I used to flash the ROM either. I've tried downloading just the Google Play APK but the app always closes immediately after I try to open it. I've also tried booting into recovery by holding Volume Down+Home+Power but when I am presented with the Warning page and I press Volume Up to continue, the ROM just boots into Cyanogen as if I pressed cancel instead. Is there anyway to either get my Google Apps back, or someone access CWM Recovery so I can ref lash Gapps?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Brian
Recovery is power+home+volume up
Just flash gapps once you're in recovery.
You should be fine

I tried holding Power+Home+Volume Up but it just boots into Cyanogenmod as if nothing happened :S
Make sure your completely powered down first then try the power+volup+home button make sure all 3 are pressed down
Or, enable extended power menu under dev settings, then just hold down power, reboot, recovery
If you're going to enter recovery mode via the button combo, the most successful way is to press Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button

YES IT WORKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH you have no idea how hard I was contemplating crying in fetal position
And thanks a lot for everyone else that helped too! Much MUCH appreciated!
I installed the latest Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nighty yesterday and it worked just fine. I rebooted it and got a cyanogenmod logo bootloop. I entered fastboot, then recovery and installed another version of cgm which was already in the sd card after wiping the data.
Now I can't even access fastboot. When I hold the power button with volume up or down it does nothing, sometimes it shortly shows the LG logo and then it turns into a black screen.
The only thing I can do is to access Download Mode by holding power+volume up+volume down.
Thank you for your time
Click my signature and look there for answers. Use kdz updater to revert to stock and that's it. Don't ask how you do that,i will ignore any further questions. You have all the answers there.
Hello, I was attempting to install CM 12.1 on my M8 and while trying to change the kernel to SkyDragon it started to go into a bootloop. While not really thinking i wiped everything (i seriously mean everything) with TWRP. So i rebooted my phone and now its been on the White HTC logo screen with the build warning at the bottom. I attempted to shutdown the phone and go back into TWRP but no luck. Any help? Thanks! :good:
Hold power + vol up to force a reboot (could take up to 20 seconds). AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK slide from vol up to vol down. This will take you to your bootloader, where you can enter recovery (choose hboot, the option is in there) and restore a backup.
