Don't remove your battery! Just press your power button and hold until phone reboot itself.

If you flashed something via Odin from your computer, and if you did the correct steps (with default odin settings), then your device should reboot automatically by itself at the end of the process.
If not, you have two choices :
Let power off button pushed for some seconds until device turns off
Remove your battery

In the same way you entered it.. Press and hold power + home + volume down buttons
By the way I am typing from my phone.. So expect typos!!

simply keep on pressing the power button until your mobile restarts. job done. dont forget u should not do this when some file is being written in download mode.

None of these methods work for me. All that seems to do it for me is a battery pull. Is there no other way? Holding power doesn't exit, nor any of the other things that people have said "work".

[Q] Exit Odin Mode

I started to root my phone but since an attachment of the build I need isn't available on the site I want to exit Odin. Is there a safe way to do it?
im not an expert, but i think you can just turn of your phone ? As long as you had no problems during installation or something
manmad is right as i was in the same step and i just switched it off and then restarted the phone in normal mode
Thank You

No. That will reboot your phone back into download mode. All that is really needed is to press and hold the power button until it reboots or pull out the battery and boot up the phone.

Rooting issues

Trying out the S3 Toolkit. Works until I get to actually rooting, not being detected by Odin. Reinstalled drivers. Tried different USB ports and USB cord. I tried manually putting my phone into download mode, Didn't work. Tried to manually put phone in download mode, When I press volume down + power button I get,

Hitting the volume down + home + power does nothing for me. Any ideas? Phone is second hand, no idea what previous owner did with it.

Do you have usb debugging enabled in development settings? If so look at item 1 in my signature, the easiest and safest way to root mate. Takes about 1 minute

Turn off the phone. Then press volume down, menu and power button at the same time and you get in downloadmode.

Yes I am having the same issue, a friend of mine bought it online from a website for $ 180.00 and I rooted 3 tmo ones and they were very simple and easy.
The problem with this one is that the phone never get's to download mode not even with the jig.
When you hold Volume Down + Home + Power, it takes you to a different screen, I will try to upload a picture soon so that you guys can see what's going on.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is more information on the device.
Model number: GT-i9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9300XXLE8
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALE9
Custom Build Version: V3G.12.07.20
Thanks in advanced hope to hear from someone soon to see if they are able to assist us with this issue.
Here that's the screen we get when we hold volume down + home + power button.
Any ideas how to get this phone into download mode?
Thanks again.

Seems like some custom software has been installed on the fone that has overwritten what is supposed to be there. Someone more knowledgeable than me would have to tell you how to get
rid of it. It would help to know where the fone is from.
First question has to be is this the International I9300 phone or some other model .

You can try the CF root as posted .
But if its not a I9300 then it may damage your clone .

the problem is that you can not even get in to download mode to do that, if you hold HOME+volum up+Power phone will go into recovery mode
and even in recovery mode no option can be selected

My Galaxy S2 blocked on boot

I wanted to install a new rom,I reboot my phone and I installed something what I found on my micro SD,I confused something with the file of new rom,and now it doesn't start, only what I see after 1 hour is the image of boot (Samsung Galaxy S II, like that image http://www.gophoto.it/view.php?i=htt...ootingsgs5.jpg)
What can I do to start my android ?
Sorry for my little english
it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.
about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin
take your battery out, put it back
hold:
volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode
reflash your rom, kernel and stuff
if nothing works download odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode
from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.
post with more details next time.

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.
with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.
if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u
Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).
if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.
Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..

Did you do any of these with your device before it screwed up?
Soft bricks:
Flash improper firmware which the system recognizes as improper
Prematurely terminate transfer
Flash with a bad cable
Hard Bricks:
Flash improper bootloaders
Flash mismatched versions of proper bootloaders
Flash bootloaders with a bad cable

That way we'll be able to tell if it is actually a brick or not.

If you dont have waranty open the phone ... detach the battery HOLD VOLUM + and plug USB . Should see it as an " ? Device ". If it see it that is ok. Plug back the battery and use the V+ + USB to try to power it up. And try to see if you have energy in the battery.
Xperia S comes with battery inside the phone, you sure you can remove it yourself?

Try this:
- Connect your XS to pc using USB cable
- Press volume up + power button for 15 seconds (untill the phone vibrates 1 time)
- hold volume up, now you should be in fastboot mode.
This should work for everyone who flashes a wrong kernel
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Depends. I dont think so. Will suggest a full power off. Plug out battery, and with the battery out hold power button to eliminate all the power from capacitors. And after I will try to start it.

Do you have power?
Sent from Hell using Xperia-S
when you hold power button + volume up for 10 seconds does it vibrate?
if it does vibrate or not try this:
1. charge your phone for about 1 hour (doesnt need to have a led light),
2. i guess do u have flashtool already, download any firmware for your phone.
3. since your phone is not booting, once you have the necessary files and place the firmware on the folder of flashtool, (c:flashtool/firmware/your downloaded firmware),
4. open the flashtool then click the lightning icon and choose flashmode and choose your firmware, a tab will flash and say turn off your phone then connect via flashmode (whatsoever), then connect your phone via flash mode (power button + volume down), this will not connect immediately, what will you do is to push the power button+ volume up and wait until it vibrates 3 times, then after that push the power button+volume down, then the pc will detect your phone and flash the firmware, and then wait until it finish, once finished power on your phone. ( it happens to me also that my phone does not turning on and thats what i did).

Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Down
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen
Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode

You can use ADB.
adb reboot download
If you are rooted, you can also use terminal.

IMO, If you don't know what ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) is, you really shouldn't be messing with your phone. I highly recommend you Google or search for information and instructions of what it is, and how to use it before going any further.

The first step of modifying your phone is to read directions carefully and actually understand them. Don't let go of the keys as soon as it vibrates. Wait until the download mode disclaimer comes up on your screen.
