My phone was working fine for the past few days. I believe I updated my nightly on July 28th. Today I picked up my phone and it randomly crashed. I figured it would just boot up, but it didn't; I took out the battery and replaced it several times and it didn't even go to the spining Cyanogenmod logo. I tried getting it into Recovery mode, but it shuts off 3 seconds after getting it there and tries to perform the same reboot task. Is there some way to factory reset the device w/o recovery mode?
What about download mode? If you can you could always Odin back to stock.

I'd try it, but I need to know what programs to use whilst doing so.
Just attempt to boot into download mode first, search ODIN in the Dev section. Sounds like another S3 is biting the dust.

To get into download mode, hold the power up home and power button simultaneously. Hold until a screen shows up and then press volume up. Do not plug in USB cable until you reach that screen. Launch Odin and flash the root66 md5.tar file and then reboot. Hope that works.

Bought this phone on Craiglist, when i got home, i turn it on and found that it only boot in to Download mode.
If i try to boot into Recovery then it go into "Fastboot", but i can't not navigate at all.
Then i try to reload the factory firmware via Odin then the phone will on but it in "Safe Mode". If i reboot it then it go into "Download" mode again.
I don't know what to do now.
Please help!!!
Go back to fastboot and use tool kit to set it back to factory settings and see if that works. Hope you didn't pay much.

It was on, i didn't see the safe mode on the bottom left until got home (like i said in the first post, if flash it with odin, first reboot it will boot to safe mode, but if it turn off) then it will go to download mode.
if it's a Verizon or GSM version you can follow this guide to fastboot flash a stock image
Oh gotcha.

Hey guys,
I just got my S3 and installed AOKP no problem. Then as part of my purchased apps, I downloaded and installed Franco Kernel installer. I had not flashed the kernel previously but tried to autoflash using the application. It flashed and now the phone won't boot. If I take out the battery and turn it on, the Samsung logo flashes and then turns off.
Please help!!!
I am JellyBean Build 4 of AOKP
Also, if I remove the battery and plug the phone into the computer, a battery with a recycle type arrow shows up ...
On app description its for the international version. Never flash anything unless you get it here or are directed to it from here. And always be sure its for our T999.
If you're getting any response there may be hope for it. Try to boot into download mode. Hold power + volume down + home. Then when prompted press volume up.
Now plug into computer and use Odin to flash the full stock FW. And pray it works!
If you can't get download mode or recovery you may need repair...

Okay, into download mode and it is downloading. Do I wait or use Odin through the toolkit? And if I use the toolkit, how do I turn on USB debugging without being able to get into the phone settings?
Odin to stock Rom and start over. No weird kernels this time.

Yes, but I am stuck on 'Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled'
How do I enable it if I can't get to the phone settings?
Can you get into recovery?

I don't think so.
Volume Up + Home + Power
It flashes Samsung with some blue writing in the top left then gives the full Samsung Galaxy SIII logo ... then nothing.
Any other thoughts??? Please???
Keep holding the volume and home button but let go of the power button

You can get into recovery. Watch this video. At 3-4 minutes in it shows you how to hold and release the buttons. Ignore the rest

Okay ... into recover mode thanks to the God like performance from DocHoliday77 and Android_Monsters ... now what?
Flash aokp again
Should overwrite the faulty kernel with the kernel that comes with aokp

Then go into download mod and flash .tar stock rooted rom via odin.
Is that an option in the ToolKit? I'm not seeing it ...
Download aokp on your computer and put it on your external sd card. Put the external sd card back into the phone. Go into recovery and flash it

I'll have to do that tomorrow ... no microSD card in my possession but that would work. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there anything I can do tonight to fix it?
You can do the Odin to stock method. If you want to keep root, download the root66 version from MrRobinsons thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
Instructions for Odin should be there as well.
I would recommend doing this first anyways. When you tried the international kernel it likely flashed to the wrong partition. This is probably your best bet for getting everything back onto correct partitions. (If it flashed the sbl partition, flashing a rom in recovery won't fix it, odin should).
Basically you download the FW to your computer, (odin too) and after booting to download mode, start Odin then connect to computer. You should see it show a Com port in top left area. Then click on pda and browse to the FW you downloaded (you may have to unzip it, should be a .tar or .tar.md5 file).
Make sure PDA is checked as well as auto reboot and F.reset time. Then start flash.
Use the instructions in MrRobinsons thread in case I forgot something. I just wanted to give you a quick rundown.

Hi all, I was trying to uninstall some of the softwares from my S3, I uninstalled some of them, those are some tmobile softwares. But I soon found out when I restarted my phone it just stuck at the "samsung" logo.I tried to install a rom to resolve the problem but odin just kept showing that "FAIL". I reinstall a clockworkmod.tar by using odin( I don't know why I did that...><). But when it finished and restarted again it could no long turn on again. Can anyone help me with this problem? I just bought the phone yesterday and I already went to exchange for a new one couple hours ago, no sure tmobile would let me exchange it again. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Can u get into download or recovery mode?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Try pulling the battery and put it back in. Then try to boot download mode.
What rom did you try to flash? Where did you get the cwm.tar file you used?
Plug into the computer and check in device manager. Does it see anything?
If it says QHSUSB_DLOAD then I'm afraid your bricked.

Hi everyone,
Just recently I restored my phone back to stock from CM10 since I was having some weird issues. I decided to root and rom again but I cant seem to boot into CWM. I flashed CWM through Odin and when I try to boot into CWM it just goes into regular Android recover. I'm holding down the volume up + home + power until it vibrates, then i release power but hold the other two down until the screen shows up.
