so i accidentally went into download mode and had no clue how to get out of it, so i just left it. AFTER ABOUT A DAY, THE BATTERY RAN OUT AND DOWNLOAD MODE STOPPED. I THEN PLUGGED THE CHARGER IN AND TO MY SURPRISE IT BOOTED LIKE A NORMAL TABLET.
Dude, just long press power button

Yes, that strategy works, but it is not good for the battery. No battery should ever be discharged 100%. Even modern batteries could have issues when completely discharged. Batteries that are completely discharged could leak and cause damage to your device.
If you get stuck in download mode and cannot get out, then try and find out WHY you cannot get out. Something went terribly wrong like possibly the application is not compatible with your device.

Yes...I too accidently went into download mode and I discovered that long pressing the power button worked. I think holding volumn up plus power button will help as well. Or plug up to computer and run recovery using odin.

Was having problems after install of faux kernel so I was gonna put the stock kernel back on. Only way of doing this was odin and the tar file. Plugged the phone in the pc and held power and vol up+down. Instead of going into download mode, the phone started to boot normally. I pulled the battery. Now when I go to turn the phone on it won't do anything. And if I try to connect it to the pc, it vibrates on and off continuously.
That's not how you go into download mode. Its volume up+down at the same time not power.

In bubbys thread he says "Hold the volume up/down and power button all at the same time."
Anyways. Is there a way to get it to work or did I brick?
What else have you tried to do. Yes it is holding just both volume buttons and then plugging to computer. The other combo is for recovery. And why Odin stock kernel when there is a cwm one?

I ran to the car and did a few things with the charger and battery pulling and it finally booted. Can you point me to the cwm file for stock kernel?

Not bricked. Try removing the battery for a minute (let power dicipate) then put the battery back in. Hold vol up + down at the same time and plug in your usb cable (must be plugged into the computer first). This puts the phone into download mode.
***Got distracted and posted late. I see you got it to boot; excellent!
Cool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374868 after the first paragraph your find a link to the cwm stock kernel.

So I'm wondering if this is a safety feature, was your phone battery dead when you tried this? My phone completely died and I had the same problem. I plugged it into the usb and left it for 5 min and it booted itself up. I'm wondering if this is a sort of safety feature or ROM issue. Which ROM were you running and was your phone dead?

Deebo took your bike too?
So I did a Root 101 No No... In a sleepy state I decided to flash my T-Mo galaxy S2 without doing a system wipe..... smh...smh. As a result I brick my phone. However, in a way I've never seen before. Is there anyone out there that can help???
Here the problem:
Phone does not turn on. (No sound, nothing on the screen)
Phone does not respond to 3 button press. (No vibrate and can't get into clockwork)
Phone does not connect to usb port. (it contently connects and disconnect)
As you can see this is a BIG problem and its left me stump. Before I declare this phone as a shiny paper weight I leave my hope in you guys.
Thanks for the help
What is the three button press? To get into recovery I hold power and volume down. Also check if you're in a boot loop
Edit: also what ROM did you flash

I meant the volume and power buttons. I don't think I'm in a loop because the phone give me no type of feedback. no light, sounds or vibration. When connected to power outlet there's no change. took out the battery for about an hour, no change. used a different usb cable, tried to load into Odin. Nothing.
The only thing the phone does to show that something is going on is when I plug it into my pc. At that point it shows a device has been connected but then disconnect right away. It keeps doing that as long as the phone is connected to the pc.
Also I was coming from CM 10.0.0 to aokp_d2tmo_jb-mr1_build-4

Probsbly you are trying to get in recovery mode in proper way, just to confirm, first you have to press vol low and up button, keep holding it and then press power button. few sec later it will vibrate, release power button but keep holding vol up/down. Samsung logo will come and then it'll enter in recovery mode.
Just wanted to make sure as sometime people get hard time to get screen shot by pressing keys.
i don't know what happened, i didn't root it or did anything to it. it just randomly turned itself off and didn't start up again. then suddenly it happened to load the battery again and i was able to boot it, but here the ****ed up part came... it showed me the samsung startup logo and everything but then weird green vertical stripes(like the matrix) appeared and nothing more happened. few reboots after, same problem as in the beginning, it's not starting up again. help me please
Can u go to download mode ? Remove and reinsert the battery
Hold volume down + home button then the power button when u see the samsung logo release the power button but keep pressing the rest

I was rooted with CM10.1.0 and was casually using the phone until it randomly turned off. I turned it back on and the only thing that happened was the "Galaxy SIII" screen flashed and turned off again. I popped out the battery multiple times to be welcomed with the same problem again. I can't boot into Download or Recovery at all. Anyone know how to fix this? (btw im on AT&T SGH-i747)

Please don't provide false or miss leading information.
To OP. Fully charge your battery or use another one if its corrupt.
Try booting up into both recovery or download mode using the proper combination.
Use this guide to get your phone fully working again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42996302
In some instance (very rare) your phones hardware can malfunction, but seeing how it still boots up I doubt its that's.
Follow my guide and you should be fine.

As long as a phone is able to boot up its fine.

What about with it plugged into the charger and try to get to download mode. I thought I bricked my s2, took the battery out but it stayed on. Thought it was possesd bit it was plugged in to USB.
Can't hurt to try.
Definitely recommend download mode with cable plugged in to computer. Are you sure recovery doesn't work while plugged in to power?

Yep. It just loops on the splash screen. I'll try charging it to full and repeating your solutions. (It died off at 80%, very strange). Thanks for your replies though!
Ok guys, seems that my issue isnt the phone being bricked. I left the battery out all night and popped it in the next morning. CM loaded just fine. However after about 10 seconds of it loading, the power menu flashed, i clicked cancel, and then it immediately shut down again, and the usual problem continued. Any thoughts? (btw the phone died at 80% battery the first shut down it had, right now it should have been nearly 100% after charging) Also, connecting it via USB doesn't help at all. Sometimes the blue recovery words flash when i try to boot into recovery, but nothing happens after that.

It could be a bad battery. Might also be the battery contact points. Worse case is something is wrong with power channels on the Mobo. If it is the last then you will have to warranty the phone if you're still covered. I would borrow a battery first to rule out whether or not it is the battery itself.

The power button seems to operate normally, but that could also be one of the things that are causing problems. Once i find someone nearby with an S3 battery i'll see if it's actually a battery problem (most likely the case).
I'd thought i'd mention this as well, whenever i pop in the battery, the phone vibrates and tries to turn on, but doesnt actually do it. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? power button maybe, but battery?
If the battery out all night boots past the splash screen maybe you could, if you haven't, leaving it out and first thing try download mode. I've been in bad spots but this pretty crappy. Probably to technical for me but Good luck. Let us know how you do if none of the posts help.
Found the problem. The power button is always acting as if it's being pushed down when it actually isnt. The phone starts up perfectly when i hold the phone horizontally with the power button facing down. then when i put it back into portrait mode, the power menu flashes, and its turns off. any knowledge on how to fix this then?

Um I'd say taking apart the phone or mailing back for warranty even try taking it to an att store.. Its hardware and not software so they should replace it

Guys I am in serious trouble. While restoring EFS. After reboot My phone not booting up, I tried to hard reset but no luck, I tried to put into download mode but it is not booting. Just dead black screen.
Any one have an idea how to fix or put into download mode or reboot.
To put it in download mode, hold both volume buttons for like 5 seconds. Then plug it in as you are holding them. Don't release the buttons for a min... Or until the "Download Mode" screen appears. Hope this helps

If you can't get into download mode then you are hard bricked and the only way of solving the problem is probably JTAG. Are you sure the battery is charged??? If you charge your phone does the screen turn on???
