If possile, get it repaired. I guess you are rooted.
Download quickboot from playstore. It provides the option to reboot to recovery or download mode.
Once that is done, you can install anything.
Warning: getting the button repaired is very important. If installation fails, you won't be able to flash anything. And "repair" would be the only option.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Frankly, you have two options.
1. Get your mobile repaired. Or,
2. Stay away from any ROM modification.
Without "download mode" or "recovery mode" no modification is possible.
Cynogenmod installer is quite risky.

Volume Up broken Need to Get Into Recovery or Download mode

I recently got my s3 screen repaired for $200 at my local phone repair shop, they put the phone back together wrong and the volume up doesn't work and the home button sticks, they are refusing to fix it unless I can get it to boot which I can't without the volume up.
y can't you get into download mode? Your volume down works.

Well if he has recovery, he kinda needs to be rooted.. BUT idk.. if he has CWR than ROM Manager can also get you in recovery or download.

Strange that they refuse to repair something that needs to be repaired. Anywho, yeah as BAM said, get CWM and boot into Recovery from there.
Get the Samsung GS3 ToolKit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
There is a Reboot the Device option that will permit you to get into what mode you need starting from being booted into Android.

I am following this advice, but I can't find how/where is the reboot option. I need the SPH-L710 Android 4.4.2 build model and the toolkit doesn't come with that.
Help?
EDIT: Upon further inspection I found what I was looking for. Great advice. Thanks!
I strongly advise against using the toolkit. Its bricked multiple devices and has not been supported in quite a long time.
If you are rooted, you can use Terminal Emulator.
Enter this:
su
reboot recovery
Or the same command on adb from a PC using "adb reboot recovery" without quotes

so when you reboot your device it goes back to downloading mode directly???
becasue when i try same thing like you .. my phone was rebooting but it got stuck on the Samsung Logo.
what i know is ... you can you Volume up + home button+on.off button to go to recovery mode
so when you press all 3 together and see Samsung Galaxy on device .. release them... and it will go to recovery mode...
for me it works like that.
i am newbie to Android... so i am telling you this from my personal information.
give it a try if you feel like
thanks

Well you can only get into download mode. So you need to install a custom recovery using odine. CWM is short for clockwork mod recovery. Find a how to and install cwm using odine.
Another custom recovery is TWRP. I like using TWRP. Has a nice touch interface.

If you have a computer download a Rom of your liking then install meaning find the file on your sd card then flash it? I recommend something close to the stock Rom then try new ones btw make a back up of your stock rom!!!!!! P.s. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to?

To be more clear.
You said you can't boot into recovery. You can only boot into download mode. What download mode means is that you have to install cwm from a computer using odine. You connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable. Boot your phone into download mode. Open odine on your PC select the cwm odine file and push it to your phone. Disconnect your phone from your pc. Then you can put a ROM on your exSDcard and boot into recover and install the ROM.
Do a search on xda on how to install cwm using odine. I'm not going to write how to do it here cause you can search and do it your self. Good luck

I accidentally flashed a ROM update with no ROM. Odviously nothing booted up. I then was able to get into recovery and flash cm ROM I rebooted phone, but now I have no root.
I tried installing a superuser app that didn't work.

If by that u mean volume, power and home button. No it didn't.I tried booting threw ROM manager and it detects my recovery, but doesn't do anything.
Is there a way to flash a ROM threw download mode without a PC. I remember the Evo was capable of doing it threw bootloader.
Do you want to get root? Or flash a rom?
To boot into recovery it's power+home+vol up

I thought you had to enable root under settings? It has been a while since I've used Cm, but I remember they disabled root access by default . It seems like he can still get into recovery.

I had root access and I'm currently running a 10.2 nightly of cm 4.3 with a few glitches. So I want to flash a 100% working ROM. I can't boot into recovery with any app due to the fact it requires su permission and I have no binaries according to su. I cant get into recovery either using 3 finger method the Samsung logo appears with the blue words on the top left, but it doesn't do anything after that. ROM manager shows my recovery as twrp so I'm in a pickle....lol
And no on turning on root in settings.
Then you need to find a computer to flash recovery again via odin, otherwise flash a rooted rom via odin.

You can use odin to flash recovery and then you can flash the root.zip it should work. But I would use odin to flash to a stock rom first.

You can flash recovery without a computer.
Download the recovery image file, rename it to rec.img
Go into terminal emulator
Code:
su
dd if=/path/to/rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Be very careful when typing the second command.

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.
Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.
Glad u got it

U definitely missed it. Go to the original development section the cm 10.1 thread and I think it was 10 pages back from the last page. They posted an EARLY preview. Had a few glitches but nothing to major.

It does not. it will reboot once after it tries to boot in download mode, the goes into normal boot. Does cwm have a download mode? i can get into CWM recovery, so if CWM doesent have a download mode i think that would explain it. how would i finish the root if it didnt fully root?
If you can get CWM recovery, just flash the SuperSU package. You can find the thread with a quick search, but the files are available through my Sig. Or you could flash any of our roms as they already have root.
That is odd though...

Samsung tab 3 10.1 GT- 5210 stock firmware issue

Hi all,
I’m having an issue with a Samsung tab 3 10.1 and done help would be much appreciated. I have tried to follow done guides but haven’t been that successful.
I have purchased a tab that is stuck in mgm/retail mode and the seller is no longer getting back to me to return it.
I believe that is a way to use Odin and flash the device in download mode.
The problem I have is finding the file to do this with? A point in the right direction would be much appreciated

This ROM is in a format supported by TWRP.
So you could in short:
- install TWRP using ODIN https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-twrp-3-x-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-t3340938
- install ROM using TWRP, you can install stock or custom ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-100-stock-4-4-2-kitkat-p5210-wifi-t2848279
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3587761
I found another site with roms https://samsung-firmware.org/pl/model/GT-P5210/, maybe here will be the ROM in format supported by ODIN.
Did reflash the device to factory settings help?
Ok so i've tried to install TWRP using Odin - No Joy
So now i'm unsure where to go from here as i cant put TWRP on the device to install the ROM?
No the flash did not reset to factory settings, this is the trouble im having no rom will flash the device, feel like banging my head against a wall.

Which guide did you follow? I am asking becouse it should work, strange.
Steps in short:
- Enter download mode Volume Down + Home button + Power button.
- Start ODIN
- Flash TWRP
- Enter recovery mode Volume Up + Home button + Power button
- Flash ROM from zip
Or with ROM in ODIN compatible format:
- Enter download mode Volume Down + Home button + Power button.
- Start ODIN
- Flash ROM
Ok so I have done exactly that with two stock rims and I’m still having the same issue. Don’t know where to go from here. Could I root it, would that work?
