Hi!
I just can't get into the download-mode.. i tried it hundred times! Its always just booting like normal!
I want to flash the I9000XWJM5 Firmware and then the SamSet V1.9. But i just cant get the download-mode working! So i can't flash anything...
Is there an other way to get into that mode? Or is it possible to flash the I9000XWJM5 ROM in the recovery mode?
Thanks for your help! =)
adb reboot download not working?
now my Galaxy stucks at the black/white Samsung writing! None of the button-combinations work! And it is not recognized by my PC!
What can I do now? Did I brick my phone?!?!

Remove battery for 30 sec, press volume down + menu + power for more than 6 seconds (till the screen comes up). Should work than.
What provider are you on? Cos some phones from Bell dont go into download mode from what I heard.
i'm afraid so
if you can not do the 3 button combination to get it back into the download mode, you'll have to return it to samsung which will refer you back to the phone company to have it fixed
nothing helped... this sucks! those kutton-combinations did not work at all.. even before i obviously bricked my phone.. dammit!
Anyone got an other idea?
at this point there is no much to do but throw in the tower, and take it back to the place where you bough it.
tell them the 3 button restore mode doesn't work, and you can't continue upgrading to version 2.2
I had the same issue

is this update "legal" in europe? or do i lose my warranty?
hi, just a quick question. I just went to download mode, to see if i could. What do i need to do to get out of it?
It says do not turn off target!!!
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I just turned if off. Still scared my beautiful phone will break!!!
So I managed to Brick my sprint version of the galaxy s3. Like an idiot I overlooked a rom and used the i9300 version instead of my model version(nood move). Anyway I can't turn my phone on AT ALL!! I tried putting in into download and recovery and I get nothing. How do i fix this?? Anyone???
If u can't get download mode or recovery than there is no help. Maybe a jig if u have one but I'm not sure if they even work for the s3.

Ahhhh shyt! These new phones are harder to fix now, never had this problem before, but its like if mess up once with these new galaxy s3's thats it, whats the point of flashing roms when you chance it every time. Thanks though man looks like I'll have to call to get a new one.

I thought I hard brick my sons phone and here is what I did: Worth a try at this point.
Take battery out and do NOT put it back in. Take SD card out. Plug phone into computer and attempt download mode. Mine booted right up with this method when it wouldn't with anything else. If it does flash the stock rom through Odin right away and you are good to go.

I just tried that and no luck. sounds like u soft bricked it. I can't get it to turn on period. The only thing that turns on is the lcd light but only for 10 seconds then shuts off. Thanks for the help though!
If your getting a light, even temporary, I'd boot a tinycore Linux and see what mode its in for that 10 seconds

Do you get a screen at all? You say you're softbricked but you also say it doesnt start up. If you are really just softbricked then you have a screen too, in which case you'll just look like an ass going to sprint because they will see you fuucked with it and laugh you out the store. If you are hardbricked then you would have just a black screen. If you have a screen, do some reading like you shouldve done in the first place and fix it yourself.

Mine was hard bricked and it couldn't be turned on period. If yours is soft brick then you should be able to get it back into download mode but you can't get it to turn on at all, then you have a hard brick. I went to sprint and got a brand new one because they couldn't fix it either. So unless they can fix it you will have to get a new one!
Also Hard Bricked.

On the advice for taking the battery out and trying to get into download mode, I tried and now without my battery in I get my red light but still no luck on download mode. any advice like "tinylinux". Sorry not a noob but not a pro so whereever that middle area is is where I stand. Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
I wish my first post was not for the issue of a bricked phone but it seems like it might be.
I have the sprint samsung S3 and was installing the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905676 Rom and something seems to not have gone right.
I got an error and when I went to restart my phone I get nothing...
Thanks for the help and if I have no options would anyone like to by a lovely almost new GS3?

I think you may have flashed your Sprint GS3 with an international GSM GS3 ROM. I think you are not going to be able to recover from that.

I can get into recover,download mode, or the rom boot screen but phone turns off right after. It won't stay on long enough to change roms or backup anything. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? Thanks in advance
Can't not can...stupid tablet won't let me edit.

I'm on Cyanogenmod with stock Kernel from Cyanogenmod, never changed my kernel. It was working fine for months then just rebooted on its own and won't stay on since. Unfortunately I'm stock and I'm not even sure it will stay on long enough to do anything to it.Its also not the battery. This video shows exactly whats happening to mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61jghxz-Vc
If it can stay stable in Download mode, then you can Odin Flash Root66. Once that's done, flash recovery again and the Rom.

The video points to Recovery only. Have you tried to boot into Download mode (the kind that has yellow triangle and Downloading message ) ?

Yeh I've tried recovery and download. Neither one stays on for more than 5 seconds and in download mode after clicking up to go into download mode the phone restarts.

I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem. I got it to boot into recovery long enough to factory reset, load a new rom, and gapps. I rebooted and it loaded for a few seconds and turns off. It booted again and went to the optimizing apps screen then shut off before it could finish. Does this sound like it could be a software problem?

Pull battery. Then put it back. Does it try to turn on by itself? Could be the power button issue many others have had.

There have been many threads posted with this issue, and some did manage to just buy the part and fix themselves. No instructions though thst I'm aware of.
I'd suggest you google galaxy s3 or t999 teardown.

Hm, you can use download mode as long as the SBL is booting (as you can see by the boot logo)...
Maybe try factory mode (usb jig)?

Yeah, I've ordered a USB jig, so I'll try that when it comes if I don't find a solution before..
I can't get it to boot into download mode or recovery, so I don't know how I'd be able to flash with Odin..
I have been able to get odin to recognize it once in a while by messing around with different 3 button combinations, but when I press start on Odin, it just sits at "setup connection"

I've quicky googled them a month ago and they appear to be about 70 € IIRC, and if you're serious about them remember that having a complete dump of the exact phone you have will make it 100% unbrickable

Oh, the first
Basically, since you can read and write all the flash through it, just create a full dump when it's working and restore it when you hardbrick or... uh, get no display in recovery and want to fix it quickly :laugh: (for anything else flashing with Odin is probably quicker)
From what I've read RIFFBox is one of the most popular ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TTjZgQYRfw, it's probably a little overpriced for what it is but it's aimed at the "professional" market of those independent service shops...
Hey All,
I have searched the forum for this but i dont seem to get the same issue. And i dont want to make things worse, so i post it here. Hope you guys and galls are able to help.
So what happend. I wanted to flash back my G3 d855 16Gb Eur model.
Something allong the way went wrong, and i dont know what. All i know is that when i came back my phone was turned of. And my pc gave a failed message.
Now i cannot get in to download mode anymore. It gives me the LG boot logo and that is it.
When i want to enter download mode i get the download mode logo, with in the top left corner a verification error.
It goes quite fast so i cannot get the exact message. Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix. Ore is it indeed really dead?
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
if you can't enter the download-mode, your mobile is dead. You may flashed a wrong firmware and the bootloader was overwritten with a wrong device.
Can you enter into Recovery?
Kind regards

Hey All,
Just want to let you know, that i have been struggeling with my phone for two weeks. Offcourse not 24/7. But it is back alive. I managed to do the wiretrick and i was able to load up the Qualcom 9008 driver. After a long struggle i even managed to get the phone reconized by board diag. From that on it was easy to flash back all partitions. And download/firmware update mode was back. After this all i was able to flash the KDZ file.
I then lost my IMEI, but i backed up my EFS and all other importend files in the beginning. After rooting and flasing my EFS all was back to normal.
So ... i quess the d855 is indeed unbrickable
