[Q] Download/recovery with non-working home button - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
*Sorry, I just noticed someone asked this same question earlier, but it seems I can't delete my post*
I have a non-rooted GT-i9300 with a faulty home button. Is it possible to root or get into download/recovery mode?
Many thanks

This is of course assuming the phone boots.
Can also be done from terminal Emulator in Android...
su
reboot recovery
So you could also use script manager, and have that as a script and have a shortcut on a homescreen to reboot recovery too.

Didn't notice that. Does he not need a custom Kernel for ADB to work? Insecure kernel?

[Q] adb sideload stop?

Woops...
Well, I was going to get a new rom for my galaxy s3 mini, I made a complete wite, formatting system/cashe/data, then I was going to install rom but I pressed "Install zip from sideload" instead of "install zip from sd card".
So, Now I'm thinking, I have a problem, because phone is asking me to send him a package, and I didn't even know where to send it...
In short I'm thinking that if I remove battery my phone will be dead until I can get a comp and flash thru that, so I don't want to do that.
How do I stop this request?

You have to remove a battery.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
And phone will be dead?
And followup, what's sideload and what would I need to use to send rom to the device?
Will a rom in zip format work?
Could I just send a mal package, like a font? would that take me back to recovery once it's loaded?
This is to use adb to side load a ROM or another flashable to your device, so the ROM would be on PC not phone
Open a terminal/cmd in the location of ROM on PC, then type adb sideload xxx.zip
(Change xxx to name of .zip)
Now it will flash ROM, just the same as off SD
Best of luck!

Sheeesh! I have DROID RAZR - the battery is not removable. The ADB can not see the phone in Recovery mode (drivers re-installation did not help). So there is no other way to stop this command at all??? PLEASE HELP a.s.a.p. I need my phone back!
Well was your phone rooted? Do you have a custom recovery? Do you have fastboot access? Has adb ever worked for you? Can you try another PC or USB cable to try and get adb working?

Thank you! False alarm. It turned out you can get out of that mode simply holding the power for about 5 seconds or more, and the phone will reboot. ADB worked fine from Eclipse just yesterday. Not sure why it was rejecting the very same phone in the Recovery mode.
Not as hard as it sounds

goto recovery->adb sideload
on pc: adb sideload "ZIP NAME"
That's it the phone will receive the installation package from the usb port, this is called remote flash.

Use adb push /system/font/
sideload is for zip based packages

root S3 without using computer

I want to root my device but now I don have my pc here so any process of rooting galaxy s3 without pc (adb/odin)
I want flashable zip file for rooting is there any way....?
I want root access only for some apps like chainfire .firewall.....
If you already have a custom recovery, then yes. You can. Usually, when you get out from the recovery, and you are not rooted, it will ask you to root. You select yes and it will root for you
It you are running custom recovery, I think it will be a bit harder.
Anyway, this thread had to be moved to Q&A.

The best answer to my questions was provided by BCSC, THANKS! Worked great!
Follow these steps exactly and you will have the latest Recovery running. You do not need a PC for this method.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod ot TWRP (touch or regular as you wish) for your device
2) Rename it to recovery.IMG and place it at the root of your internal sdcard
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the Play Store
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Be sure that you have typed the above code correctly. You will not see a confirmation. It is done almost instantly.
5) Reboot into recovery and enjoy

And this OP should be moved to Q&A
This won't work since su command won't run successfully coz there is no supersu app.

[Q] Have I bricked my phone?

Hello everyone,
I own a Huawei Ascend Y300 which I rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed custom rom with cwm.
I wanted to go to complete stock (because my varranty is void if rooted etc.) so I found a guide on modaco that required twrp instead of cwm to get to stock. Then I found a different guide that said to do " su dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 " in terminal emulator. Now this is where the problem begins. I'm not sure if I clicked restart or shutdown after writing that code in terminal, the phone wouldn't turn on for like 5 minutes so I pulled out the battery and now I cant boot into anything. I can't get into phone, recovery, fastboot or anything.
Have I bricked my phone, please help?
Cant boot in download mode ?

Hello Sakla,
Does usb jig work for you or not, because my phone is bricked same for yours. I used the terminal emulator for same wrong command and doesn't reboot. Doesn't work anything. Full brick.

Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll setup adb and fastboot on your pc.
Download the twrp image file from here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/volantis
Download supersu 2.4 to your device from here http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip
Boot your device into the bootloader and with it connected to the pc open a Windows command window in the same directory as the twrp.img is in. Then run the command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Note. Use the full name of the twrp.img that you downloaded)
Then boot into recovery, it'll be twrp now, and install supersu

Guys, KITKAT is out for HP 7 Plus. I had successfully rooted the tablet on JB with no bootlooping issues but lost root when updated to Kitkat. Plz update your tablets and let us all work together in developing Custom ROMs and Recoveries.

Kitkat is available but it's flawed. Received "update -1" and left in recover mode until I rolled back.:silly:

No, it is not flawed. When you flash the zip the first time in recovery, it flashes your bootloader and recovery. Reboots into recovery again showing received update-1. Then choose the zip again. You have to do this 3 or 4 times. Keep on choosing the revovery zip again until it says completed.
Has everyone given up?
