I can`t get the phone in recovery mode.
Here is the issue:
Running Jedi mind trick rom three weeks. One day the phone restarted and got stuck in the boot screen.
The phone restarted and eventually keeps vibrating without display
After trying many times i did got in recovery mode so i could install the rom again (using darkside super wipe and then the rom). After one day it crashed again and again i installed an different rom which also crashed after several hours.
Now i can`t even get to download mode, Is this hardware related or do i need to use an usb jig to get this working again?
Does your phone screen turn on and at least show the Samsung logo? If not, and you said button combo presses do not work using a USB Jig will be your way to go to get back in to download mode.
By the way, did you flash the correct ROMs specifically for our phones? You shouldn't have experienced and crashes. Also, for the vibrating issue without the display, it had been mentioned that it could also be due to a stuck/dirty power button. If you can try, clean up around it.

Yes it does show the samsung logo at starting up but after that it turns off with 1-2 seconds vibrating intervals.
I already cleaned the power button but without any satisfaction.
I did dropped the phone monday but not from a great heigth.
estimated: 1mtr above ground
Yes i did. I used the guides from galaxy2root.com
Well, if you were able to use a USB Jig to get into 'Download mode', get a stock ROM from here and flash it through Odin which is also included in the link. Good luck!

Warning to everyone please avoid using Freegee Relock feature it can cause semi hardbrick or worst a full hardbrick.
I just had a SEMI NIGHTMARE using Freegee
I installed Freegee, then installed CWM classic installation, everything went fine also made nandroid and efs backup. So I decided to Relock and then "semi hardbrick" happen.
Why Semi Hardbrick because you think you can no longer use the usual Download Mode tricks. (Insert USB, when battery show press the combo key) but that will not happen no matter what you do.
What you see in the screen is a freeze up LG logo with error like secure boot encryption in two lines or something like that.
The hard reset command still work but you cant go any further you will see the error again.
Ok here's the trick and its very tricky its like catching a fly for a Download Mode.
Normally during boot LG logo normally flick twice, then the battery shows if your insert the cable or the animation Logo if loading the system, mine don,t during this trouble time.
What happen that it seems you cant turn off your phone it persist to turn ON with boot encrption error on the screen but to turn OFF you press and hold volume down or up or both and power (this is the key to go Download Mode)
I used the volume down + up and power button
While turning off the device and you think the logo stops showing up release the key then quickly insert usb cable when the LED light turns ON quickly press the Volume UP, DOWN, POWER congrats Download Mode ^_^
I reminder to anyone Please don't use the Freegee Relock function. But if want to witness the near death experience go ahead its safe now ^_^

Yeah I remember I was still plugin (charging using PC) when I use the Relock function of course I have to reboot after that.
If you mean when it gets error you cant plugin your usb because it will trigger the device to turn ON and it persist to turn ON

when you are plugged in either by charger or computer, you might not enter recovery or download mode.
turn off your phone by pressing power for extended time.

You think I dont know what I posted here why not try it for yourself if you have a unit like mine.
If only I took picture of that damned boot error.
Are you sure about download mode? Not using cable?

what i have seen here and done myself, sometimes no matter how smart you are or knowledge you have, one always misses the smallest of the things.
yes if you are plugged in you will have a had time to get into download mode or even recovery. sometimes it just wont enter either.
also sometimes phones seems turned off but its not that's where pressing power for extended times comes up. otherwise it will try to boot on plug.
You are far from hard bricked (that's the good news). If the device turns on at all its not hard bricked. If you are getting a security error its most likely because you uninstalled some system apps and didn't put them back before relocking. You might also have not had a backup of your boot.img. Freegee will restore your phone without a boot.img backup if it can't find it, since at least that would put you close enough to stock if you had to take it in, and you can still use download mode.
You can get to download mode because you see the lge logo, download mode is before that logo in the boot sequence.

Good luck with your FreeGee
So basically I screwed up really badly, and wiped absolutely everything on my S3 while half awake. All I get is stuck on the boot logo. When I try and boot into recovery, it says its trying to boot but just locks on the samsung logo, and when I try and use download mode it flashes the screen with the warning about installing custom OS on it, then gets locked on the samsung logo. Am I totally screwed here? Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been looking through about 30+ tabs on chrome right now for any sort of solution.
When you see the warning message in download mode, do you press the volume up key to get iinto download mode?

I dont even get the chance to select anything, it disappears right away. I also was able to get it to connect somehow to ODIN, and got a pass on flashing a stock rom. Stuck on at the logo screen again, but its progress!
EDIT: IT BOOTED! I dont know how i got through it not doing anything, but ODIN worked! thanks for trying to help buddy
I have been trying to search for the past month regarding any related information on the bootloader info of the n7105.
If I go to ROM Download mode, my phone will get stuck on the first screen, and pressing the up or down volume button won't work. In normal phone operation btw, both keys volume up and down works perfectly fine. In the first screen download mode, we usually get the bootloader info in the upper left corner of the screen in red text. However my device has none. It just blank. So I dont see any info as how many times a ROM was flashed or knox has been triggered, bootloader version, etc.
If I want to flash a ROM on the n7105, I can opt to utilize adb commands to force go into download mode or use a 3rd party recovery with booting into download mode option.
Any help as to how I can restore my bootloader info is much appreciated.
Thanks.
no one can help me?
Hey mate did you get this sorted?
BTW you havent seen jigs around have ya?
Hello everyone.
So my phone got stuck in safe mode a while ago and the volume down button kept going off on its own when the device was on.
It never occurred to me that the reason I couldnt get out of safe mode was because my vol - button was pressed all the time when it was rebooting, making the phone boot into safe mode.
So I decided to upload a new rom, got into download mode via adb (adb reboot download) and uploaded a new firmware.
Now the phone is stuck in boot loop and I cant go into recovery or download mode, since the volume keys are not working properly and I cant boot into my phone to turn developers options on and do it via adb.
Do you guys have any idea what I should do to save this phone? Is it officially beyond repair?
Any suggestion will be very appreciated
Thanks
I would say fix the volume buttons you not going anywhere if those arent fixed.
