Yeah, so, one common mistake (I think) most people are doing is holding the power button. So to get into download mode:
1. Hold Vol Up ONLY (as Zedomax did)
2. Plug USB in while holding Vol Up
-Power button has nothing to do with this
Thanks for the quick reply dude, really appreciate it. I actually did get it to work, was just hoping there was another way to prevent the full wipe lol

Hey. I was trying to help a friend flash her Fascinate back to stock 2.1 and Odin hung. Now I can only get into recovery mode. When I try to boot normally I get a picture of a phone and a computer with an exclamation point in between. Holding Vol- and Power doesn't do back into download mode. Anyone got some useful suggestions?
I usually go into download mode with the battery out, USB plugged in, then just press vol (-) and it goes into download mode.
You are amazing. That's different from my captivate. You just saved me a lot of @$$ pain.
glad i could help

your phone is not broke! Relax! Enter Download mode (Vol. down+ home+ power) and flash a stock firmware of your region or any other stock! Guide here
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS!
If the phone does not boot up and is looping, then simply remove the battery> Reinsert> enter recovery (vol. up+home+power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe and reboot!

My phone does the same thing, it just turns on every time I try to put it into recovery mode.

are you sure the jig will work because i read online that that only fixed soft bricked phones, and mine is described as a hardbricked phone
if your phone could not turn on, jig probably won't work for you. It is best used for boot-loop or similar situations.

If home is a soft key then you have the AT&T SGS2. Go to that forum and ask for the key combination for download mode. Once you are in download mode flash a rom.

Get a JIG, it will put your phone into download mode.

Tried to flash CM7 on my s2 and after selecting reboot in the cwm menu, the phone won't go past the samsung galaxy s2 logo. The phone won't go into download or recovery mode using button combo press. I've also tried the one-click unbrick tool, which simply fails.
Not sure what do here.
Download mode should work :/
Taking the battery out -> Put back in -> Plug USB Cable in while holding Volume Down

Thanks man. Just tried that
It seems that odin will not detect my phone. I'm reinstalling the samsung usb drivers to see if that helps.
I am happy that I am at least able to get the phone into odin download mode. So not all hope is lost I would think.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm downloading the android SDK to get to try ABD right now to see if I can connect that way.
Sometimes Odin is picky, and wants to be opened first. Then enter download mode.

Not a problem! Almost impossible to hard brick this phone. And even if you somehow manage to do that, there are ways to get it out (Depending on what you did). So rest assured, and also get use to battery pulls
I had a dream, that someday we will collect all of our bricked phones and build a house...

And I'm back to stock Now it's off to try to CM7 on there once more. Lesson here is that you need to double flash cm7 before rebooting.
Will be there to help you build that house...

Should've been able to get into CWM to do a second flash even if you accidentally rebooted.
Sometimes CWM from a boot-hung device can be tricky, the following should work:
Hold VolUp + VolDn + Power until the device restarts (will be around 12-15 seconds for the long-hold-power reset)
Once the Samsung screen reappears, let go of Power, keep holding VolUp + VolDn until CWM appears
I had problems with my rooted S3 (International) earlier today, and that's why I thought that flashing a lower version of CWM may fix my problems. However, flashing CWM 5.8.4.0 actually made things worse.
I am currently stuck and cannot navigate out of CWM. Pressing Power or Home don't do/select anything, and browsing the menu is next to impossible, too (menu disappers).
Phone is not recognized by adb, it does not show in Windows Explorer either. Got a "failed to install" when I connected it.
When I try "adb devices", I only get "list of devices attached" without the phone showing.
Whenever I reboot [after bettery pull], I get back into CWM again.
CWM does not react to button presses as it should; doesn't go anywhere no matter which keys/buttons I press.
Battery pull doesn't do anything; neither does Power+Volume up or down
Looks like I am screwed... am I?
Anyone has an idea how I can get out of this and back to either CM9, or install a newer version of CWM (over the obviously dysfunctional version 5.8.4.0)?
Thanks!
flashed touch recovery?
No, it's not 'Touch'... I wish it were that simple...

pull battery, insert usb jig (buy it), insert battery. gambate!
Mmmh... You sure about that?
I used to have an USB jig for a different phone before... No idea if I still have it somewhere.

just an idea and i think the last thing you can try..or you can try pull battery, press volume down and home button, insert battery, see if it can go download mode
Certainly worth a try... Thanks!

Nope, battery pull/power+vol don't work. Tried that already. Does reboot straight into CWM again (no download mode, or else)

looks like your final hope is usb jig, or samsung center..
Nah.. My "final hope" will always be Obi-Wan Kenobi...
Get the feeling that I f**ed up a perfectly fine $600 phone. Great! :banghead:
What's the deal with the Samsung website?

Looks like your much luckier than I am. Can't believe this really happened to me. It's a first for me, though
I guess I'll try some more "rescue stuff" when I get back home. Don't have any way to tinker with the phone here at work...
Thanks, guys.
[SOLVED] I9300 stuck in CWM > Back in ODIN mode!
Geeez... That was a close one!
Apparently, and in order to get into ODIN (Download) mode on the S3/I9300, one has to press & hold...
1.) Volume down
2.) Home button
3.) Power
Once I did that, my S3 (I9300) booted into ODIN Mode. [ Big sigh of relief!!! ]
I thought it was just Volume Down + Power... but apparently I was wrong. Guess that happens if you don't use Odin for flashing all the time.
Can't wait to get home and flash a proper recovery, so I can get my phone back into work mode. It sucks not having a working phone, trust me on that... ;-)
Thanks for your input, guys!

the drivers should automatically install as soon as you connect the phone. did you try all the usb ports on the pc/laptop? sometimes might be faulty usb ports also!
