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.
hi. I encountered a problem on my phone that doesn't boot properly.
When i tried to switch on my phone it showed at first the welcome msg "Samsung S4 mini gt-i9192" then after that, a pitch black screen, could not properly boot. But i learn that it does not turns off after the screen turns all black, i have to press the power button first to turn off the phone.
This problem started when i installed an app with some compatibility problems.
I wanted to root my phone hoping that can solve the problem, but then again a problem occurred when i tried to connect my phone to my laptop. It fails to install MTP usb device to my computer. I tried connecting it again provided that samsung kies was installed but again failed to connect my phone. Therefore i cant root my phone because i cant copy the files needed to root to my phone sd card.
I tried reinstalling kies, installing mtp drivers but nothing happened. I tried also restoring the previous boot image, restoring factory settings using recovery mode. But then problem still exist.
And fyi my phone can't mount any external sd card using recovery mode. And i think it was not in a debugging mode.
Phone: samsung s4 mini gt-i9192
firmware: i dont know
So basically, the problem is:
my phone wont boot,
i cant connect it to my pc
and i cant root it.
How should i root or even flash my phone when i cant connect to my computer? Do you have any idea on how to solve this problem? Any solutions or suggestions would be much appreciated. tnx.

Have you tried putting the phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) and then connecting it your p,c , if not give this a shot it should pick up the drivers , once done , take out the usb cable hold the power the button to shut down and boot up .
since you have not mentioned your OS am assuming it is windows , try taking out Kies via some software like revo uninstaller which will remove all directories plus all registry entires then reinstall it if you really need it.

dial *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.

yah, thats what im thinking. i just brought this here hoping to solve this problem without going to a shop. thanks anyway.
aac. To me put your phone in download mode then use moborobo(a windows software) . Just open it and it will install the driver. If it dies not work then use adb installer . Remember you should have only any one of the software at one tim means either moborobo or kies or adb installer
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
btw have you tried to boot the phone in safe mode ?? if it boots in safe mode it is still fixable without going to service center. power down , power up+ tap the menu button 3 or 4 times at THE same time to boot into safe mode if it boots into safe mode that means the hardware and OS is fine if it does not well then your out of luck.

Does Windows recognize the phone while in download mode, and have you already installed the latest LGUnitedMobileDriver?...

I'm having a serious problem with my note 2.
I'm running omegaromv30, and for some reason i seem to encounter a returning error (com.android.systemui stopped working) and it keeps looping. Normally i just booted to recovery and reinstalled omegarom. But now i have another problem on top of that which is that my power button died and is unusable (ordered a new one).
So i cant boot into recovery with the 3 key combo, i cant boot into recovery with the use of some app, becasue my phone is unusable with this error loop. I'm trying to use adb, however it tells me "device not found". I'm not sure if it should find my note 2 when it isn't in recovery mode and is having some error loop. (edit: found out that i must enable usb-debugging, which i'm unable to do) I really need to get into recovery mode to fix at least this error.
Any tips how to get into recovery in a different way?
Or how to enable usb-debugging without being able to go into settings...
many thanks in advance!
Hi
I just get my galaxy a5 from my bro, first thing it boot always in safe mode, I searched i found that my volume down is always stuck so it keep booting in safe mode.
I opened my phone, I tested the button with a tester, they work properly so I concluded that the problem is in the motherboard.
So I wanne to root my phone to get a tools to bypass that, I put the phone with ADB to download mode ( only way to do it) , with odin I have selected the root file TWRP_3.1.1-0_a5y17lte to the wrong case BL,
Now the phone stuck in bootloop and I can't flash it again with odin cause I no access to download mode.
I can go to download mode with Home+Power but can't continue with volume UP.
I need your help my probleme if there is a solution for me.
Thanks
I used USB JIG to force download mode but nothing happen ;(
Please some suggestion
Try to connect Smart swicth it will help you out.
Thanks
Smart switch don't help cause no download mode
