I have in my possession a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 inch, that will not go into recovery or download mode. When you hold the power and volume up button it starts regularly, despite the fact I have several other Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 inch tablets that do go into recovery. I cannot get it to go into download mode either, so I'm stuck as what to do. I have confirmed that the volume keys do indeed work, I can change the volume of music with them after the system has started.
My goal is to do a factory reset on the device, is there some trick I can do via USB to put it into recovery? Or maybe do a reset over USB?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Yeah it can via adb shell and you know you should hkld home button top?

concerning button combination to recovery/download modes
apparently the home key is not needed on p5210 at least, only power &vol+ =recovery
power & vol- = download mode
edit; tab 3 7.0 does need 3 button combo
check root by opening terminal and typing su
if return with [userid]# then you have root
type whoami , should return uid0 or command: not found , means no busybox
at root prompt # , type reboot, or reboot recovery
okay so [edit] my thought is your home button may be boned or sticky/dirty
a side question, i need to know commands for following if they exist
i need to know what the BOOTLOADER outputs by way of log if there is one
i need another way to get mmcblk names as the cat /proc/dev device by name
isn't present on my tab.
i do apologize for unrelated questions, but couldn't see starting new thread for that
i don't mind pm's so please feel free. thanks for reading
:good:
For download mode
Keep pressing
Power + volume down + home key until it vibrates
And for recovery
Power + volume up + home key until it vibrates

It can take many tries. Not much we can do about it. If you really can't manage (and I'm talking after 100 tries), you might wanna look into getting or building a jig.
try vol up + vol down + power. make sure your S3 is not plugged in to your PC

No more Factory Mode
When I tried to install any official Samsung rom in my S3, it automatically entered in factory mode, doesn't matter wich rom I tried.
I tried the ON procedure at factorymode file in efs/FactoryApp shown here but it didn't work either.
THIS WORKED FOR ME:
you have to have root access;
Install this rom (if you try another, tell us if it works) It has Samsung voice in Brazilian Portuguese. Im my case, it entered in factory mode;
Install ES File explorer and Triangle Away and test them
Back up your /efs directory in ExtSdCard
Delete all content of /efs (it is dangerous, do it at your own risk) and reboot (it will recreate /efs)
Run Triangle Away
Wheh it reboots and resets the counter, do not enter in normal mode, get into recovery mode and perform a cache clean and a factory reset.
That's it. Tadammmmmmm. No more Factory Mode.
First, I just got to root my phone and got stuck in loading screen, then I followed the steps to get my phone working again, then I've got into recovery mode and use the Press Hold Power Button + Volume Up key , then I saw plenty of options to choose, I don't want to format my phone, I just want to get back into my main screen, Then I've wiped the cache by mistake.. Then I Turn it off and turn it back on, then my screen begun appearing a dead bot error android icon blinking every few seconds, So I tried to turn it off again and Hold power button and hold volume up button then I came back into recovery mode, even though I Hold Power Button and Press Volume up key once, I can't access the options, I've watched and read so many tutorials, even the cmendonc2's solution. I Cant access my SD Card its completely error. I've done so many command/exhibition using Power button and Volume Up key. Nothing happens Help me out please!

You need a Windows PC, I suggest getting minimal ADB from this XDA post.

solution::; bro just open your device cover remove bettry. then try home buttone power button and volume up butto.. press these three button at same time for 10 second u will get recovery mode .
The best way to get this done is to use Android Debug Bridge (adb).
Get Android SDK on your PC, plug in your Android Device, and run adb reboot recovery in ADB shell.
That command restarts an Android device in recovery mode.
I recently upgraded to the eonon GA6151 and was trying to flash update_RK3188_1024x600.img " booroondook RK3188" , well I renamed the file wrong to dupate.img instead of update.img I started flashing it and it was too late before I realized. Now the unit will not boot up or go to recovery. I can reset it and see the buttons flash like it wants to go to recovery but nothing ever appears on the screen. Is there a way to adb into this unit? Can I put files on a card and have it auto install them? Any help would be appreciated.
FIXED IT!!
I fixed it using this method. I realized after the fact that this new unit is MTCD not MTCB.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67184851&postcount=50
I then had the error
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67309331&postcount=116
Which I fixed doing this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67598154&postcount=319
I used the dupdate from here.
http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/firmware/MTCD Custom ROMS - NOT FOR MTC-/RK3188/2017.02.21/
I loaded it onto the sdcard and the usb drive , the sdcard was created using upgrade disk tool and has to be 16gb or smaller fat 32. The usb drive just had a copy of the dupate.img file on the root of it.
To get into recovery on this unit do the below. http://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/Vehicle-Specific-GPS/GA6151.html
Press and Hold HOME AND POWER buttons
Press RESET while still holding HOME AND POWER
Let go of HOME AND POWER and then press HOME AND POWER down again and hold until the lights flash 3 times " is about 10 seconds to hold them "
Now Let Go of the HOME button then the POWER button the press the POWER button once "do not hold" and wait for it to boot into recovery.
This is the only method I found that reliably will get you into recovery. Make sure you use the GPS slot for any sd stuff you need to do in recovery.
Did you have to take the unit out of the car? I’ve made the bootable SD but nothing is happening.

I tried push the buttons in the combination on the first post and tried too enter to flash the unit with a PC with the batch tool but can't achieve USB mode to flash My unit i don't know if need it Push something button and tried too create a boot sdcard with the tool but nothing. My unit it's like dead only when press reset button the lights flash each time
So my screen blacked out and I would like to attempt and retrieve the information off of my phone. I have an idea to use the CWM I have installed on my phone and from there mount it. But since I cannot see the screen, I was hoping somebody could tell me the number of presses of each button so I can mount it. Thanks!

not sure if cwm will help, but twrp 3 will definitely help, i want you to boot into download mode and flash twrp 3 using Odin, and then boot into recovery.
TWRP 3 has MTP enabled by default, so when you're in TWRP and connected your phone to PC, you will see your phone on PC and will be able to copy anything you want.
also you can use adb pull commands but it requires usb debugging on in your rom.

yes, you will do it blindly, but it's not hard.
you press power + home + volume down for 3 seconds, then press volume up, and connect your phone to PC, then flash the TWRP 3 using Odin,after the flash is done, remove battery, and insert again, then hold the power + home + volume up for 4 seconds, the release the power and keep holding the other 3 buttons for another 3 seconds then release, by now it should be in recovery mode, now connect to PC and you should see your phone and all its content.

good question.
he can't do it in two cases:
1- if he is using android 6.0+
2- if he is using a password, PIN or a pattern in his lock screen.
i believe he should have tried your suggestion already, it would be a shame if he didn't because it's an Obvious thing.
however, i should have mentioned that as well...
