[Q] Strange Brick Case - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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

So how can I fix that? Will I have to send it to Samsung?

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.

It is a satisfying click, I don't think that its the issue, any other ideas?

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

But how do i do that? the screen itself is unresponsive
Can you get to odin mode? Use one of sfhubs GB one clicks?
That way when you plug the usb in, you wont be prompted to change mtp settings. And you'll have access to the internal storage.

Vol Down quit working ?

My vol down won't work anymore..? I'm on the carbon ROM.. Twrp .. And it doesn't work when I try download mode either
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Does it work from the black screen and text menu. This is reached by turning off your phone then once your phone is off do this. hold vol up and the power button. The second you see the lg logo let go of both buttons. It should go into the menu i am talking of. If so press vol down two times then press the power button and wait 15 seconds. The phone should reboot let it do its thing. If you boot into twrp the button works and you have another problem. If the phone just turns off then its that button.

Its the other problem, it is the button, but ive never had water damage or drops

I recommend taking it back to complete stock condition. Using the kdz method. The one that sprint repair techs use? And return it for another. You'll still be in Warranty for hardware defects.

You could flash stock zvc, or zvb and let it update. Then in FreeGee restore to stock. Only option I can think of

Where can I get the zvb update? I'm on zvc now.

Update? Or bin? Links to both are in the root guide.
Edit. That would be for LGNPST which won't work for you. Oops
There is an odexed stock zvb rom in Devolopement. I think from TheShadow1.
Edit 2. Not a good night for me I guess. The zvb ROM is also linked in the root guide. Odex and deodex

Take out the battery and put it back in. If it tries to power on by itself you have a faulty power button.

Cool! If it begins to happen again, Odin flash the firmware and factory reset. If its software related this should take care of it.
Thanks, I will let u know what happens
