I really have no idea, and I dont want to pin it to the "magic button" but what I did was
take the battery and sd card out and press the "button" under the battery cover for like a minute. And then hold the power button and 1 both while I plugged in the charger *without battery in* then, bam! Dowload mode!
Oh and before pressing the "magic button" I had tried tis method without it, and it didn't work, but I'm skeptical as to this button so maybe it was just coincidence.

**Edit**
okay so now i odin'd a fresh EC05 install and still no samsung splash screen and i still cant turn it on normally on can get into download mode and turn on with method posted below. does someone think doing a bootloader update with odin will help it? if so can someone provide me the file name required in an odin tar to be able to check the " update bootloader" option?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all backgroun info, I recently odin'd Stock EC05 selected repartition with the pit and auto reboot nothing else and it passed like normal, then I booted it up, selected debugging, and one click root, now I noticed the once click root took longer than usual this time but It finished and rebooted like normal.
Okay now here's the issue I'm curently running my phone, everything is fine... except for one small thing I can't turn it on! no button combination works when its off the only way I can get it to turn on is by
1st plugging in charger without battery
2nd replacing battery with charger plugged in
3rd waiting until charging screen comes on(and It only comes on with this method)
4th turing it on normally with power button.
and once this is finished it turns on, but I can't get into downlod mode or recovery this way, and what I didn't notice at first boot was that the "samsung" screen at start up didn't show up.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I can't do much right now, and I'm afraid I can't get into download mode.

Sure sounds like a bad flash. Seems like the bootloader is wonky. Since you repartitioned, are you sure you used the right PIT?
For stock EC05 I've always had the best results by using the old official Samsung EB13 installer they had on their website for a while, then letting EC05 download OTA and install itself. Once that is done you can use one click to root.
I know the EB13 tool is around the forum somewhere, just don't know where!
Edit....just realized you said you can't get into download mode. Hmmm...... guess my comments won't help much then. Sorry

Thanks for the input, Hm next time ill keep that in mind then, let's hope there's a next time.
Yeah I don't know how I can get into download mode. I was going to try the acs updater t install a recovery and kernel would that work? Or would it still need acess to a recovery to install them? And yeah I used the right pit, if I didn't id be sitting here with a nice permabricked phone, since I hit repartition.

Any help you guys can offer me?
Is there a way to use odin without going into download mode?
Maybe replace the zImage file written to phone with one click root, with another full recovery?
I can use usb debugging if that's hepfull at all

you shouldn't have to worry about the repartition aspect of Odin until a standard flash won't boot.

Hi i flashed CM7 to my Samsung epic 4g and tried to flash back to stock... it said error and i just rebooted my phone... i forgot to flash back to CM7 and now it wont go on... it starts up to only where it says Samsung that's it... it goes into download mode and all that but it doesn't show on Odin.... when i try to put into CWM (Volume down + Camera + Power button) it just restarts to the Samsung screen again... i don't know what to do about this.... if anyone had this problem and fixed your phone, please let me know how to fix this. PLEASE!!!
Have you installed the drivers for the phone on your computer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
First of all RELAX! Take a break, go dor a walk, and then comeback to your phone.
Try taking out the battery and the memory card out and leaving bothout of the phone. Plug in your phone, it will look like it's gng to charge, try to go into download mode.
You can also try another USB port. Try another USB cable. Restart your computer.
I had something like thathappen to me the other day, and taking the batt and memory card out worked for me. Good luck my friend. Report back to see if it worked for ya.

Hmmm...out of curiosity, how long do u hold down the vol down+camera+power button? For some reason, when booting into CWM on CM7, if u hold down those 3 buttons for too long, you'll get continous reboots. Hold down the 3 buttons only until the lower 4 buttons on the screen turn on, then let go. Your phone will seem to reboot, but then actually boot into CWM.
This is assuming of course, that your holding down the 3 buttons and its continously rebooting. If this isn't the case, click on the link Kenny posted above n follow instructions. Good luck!

I had to constantly change usb ports find the stock dk18.md5 file flash it...
Then root with the superuser.zip file..
And now I'm running viperrom v4.2 and switching between it with superhero v for vendetta rom.
They both work great, but I'm trying to flash syndicate 5.0 but I can't find the file.. its okay tho.
It wasn't me holding down the buttons to long its just that it wouldnt go I accidentally deleted the files to flash into the phone so I had to do all the stress again..
Thanx everyone for the help!

Bleh just got my Optimus yesterday, came stock with zv9. Decided to root today and had no trouble, flashed TWRP recovery using FreeGee then updated to the newest TWRP version using GooManager. Made a backup using TWRP then used GooManager to download Lifeless ROM. Just downloaded, didn't flash. After the download was done I shut off my Optimus but when I went to restart it, it powered on, showed the LG logo for half a second then just went to a black screen. Can't boot to recovery. Whenever I try and turn the phone off it just restarts again showing the logo for brief period of time then black. Any ideas? It's gotta be bricked but I just don't understand how or why. Probably going to try and take the battery out and see what happens.

okay well your not bricked if you can get even a little life like an LG screen. hook phone up to computer and use adb to get into bootloader and try to reflash the recovery img again. it just sounds like you need to reflash your recovery. thats why it didnt flash. lemme know. ill keep checking back on the thread for awhile

Okay perfect I appreciate it. Downloading SDK right now, I'm away from my desktop and didn't have it on my lappy. LG has a program similar to ODIN too right? Would that maybe work as well?
You would need LGNPST. you can find it in the IRC if you can get to download mode you can flash back to stock and start over.

Just because the screen doesn't come on don't think the phone is off. Plug that sucker in. If you see the logo you should be able to get in download mode. Also, if the phone is on, you will eventually see some green android screen.
The same thing happened to my phone once. I only know of one way to hard brick this phone. I am not telling anyone how. But, I doubt you did that. It isn't something you would accidentally do.

It's on but it just shows a flat black screen. No matter how long it is on it doesn't get passed that. Also, when it's plugged in there aren't any charging lights. Not sure what to do since adb doesn't recognize it.

Hello guys !
I have done something terrible and phone is not booting up part recovery now.
I had rooted the phone with one-click universal method without any hasstles and then try to reboot into bootloader by pressing VolDown+Power button.
Eventually ended up rebooting in original android recovery. I tried rebooting with option in that but it was not responding.
While trying it out, I mistakenly wiped cache partition.
Now NO MATTER WHAT COMBINATION I TRY, phone doesn't boot up past the recovery.
Please help me sort out this mess. I need to sell the phone.

I posted this in the other thread you asked about this in, but here it is:
I wipe my cache partition all the time. I am rooted but still locked (I don't think that will last much longer). Anyways, in the android recovery with jelly bean, I found that you no longer use the power button for selecting or confirming. It's now done using the menu button below your screen (on the right) . At least that's how it works for my phone.
I hope this works for you.

Mate.. after getting the phone booted up I installed FreeGee app from Play store to get bootloader unlocked and flash recovery , but downloading recovery stopped due to an error. So I rebooted the phone and since then Wifi is not detecting my home wifi network.
I then tried to do erase cache partition and even factory reset but nothing helped.
Do u know what else I can do to get it right ?
Cheers !
I haven't fully unlocked my phone yet. Only rooted it. However it sounds like you might have to LGNPST to set things right. Maybe someone else that is more knowledgeable with this issue could chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that might be your only option.

Thanks mate.. will try this
OK.. mate I tried the LGNPST method. Downloaded LGNPST and stock v9 bin file. Used it to flash the stock rom back to stock.
howvere even after full completion of the process without any errors , the phone stucks at LG logo forever. I have tried the process twice.
Is there something I might have missed. I followed the instruction to the line from the pastebin link. Do we have a different Dll for the stock rom then whats there in the LGNPST repository named LS970_LGNPST.dll or something ?
Hopefully this will get you going.
If you downgraded from ZVB to ZV9 heres some needed info:
If you're stuck at the 4glte screen: To get to stock recovery - Power off phone. You need to hold power button for about 20 sec to get it to turn off. Then press and hold vol down+power - The LG logo will come on, then the capacitive lights. Immediatly let go when the capacitive lights turn on.
It takes a few seconds to work. Data wipe/Factory reset. Reboot.
And if you happen to reboot into recovery after this upgrade? Use the "menu" button on the led lights (far right when holding it) to get it to accept your commands. power button won't work.
---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------
If that doesn't work try this.
Get into DL mode and run "teeny bin" from the post I sent you to, to get LGNPST. Try the main one first, then the optional one if it still doesn't get you into TWRP. You just might have one of those "haunted phones" that seem to be poping up.

Thanks again mate.. I was able to install Teeny bin and then flashed a AOSP rom. Now I have my wifi working again without any issues.
Do u have a link of any stock based rooted deodexed rom for this ? I don't want to flash bin images via LGNPST but want the stock look and feel
Imperium and Lifeless are our only 2 stock ROMs so far. In the Development section. Both are very nice.

Hello to all the xda pros had recently bought an s3 so happy that i had finally got it and wasted no time in rooting using causal worked great then i made the biggest mistake ever i didn't flash a recovery or different rom. Could not choose to many new and cool looking roms. Had got called in to work early and left my new phone at home another mistake. My lovely wife found it and seen att send a update notification thinking this is what i wanted since it was all i could talk about she took the 4.3 update!!! I cant really blame her because she knows nothing about rooting or flashing roms she thought she was helping but now am left with a messy slow laggy phone. I tried to reroot using casual again and it looked like it was working but after it reboot it was running even slower in "safe mode" and supersu says that i have to reroot manually after 4.3. Have tried to root via odin but phone wont go in to download mode no matter how many time i try it always ends up booting in to "safe mode" the only thing i am doing in adding to the custom binary download counter am up to 3 and the warrant counter is at 1. Any advice from the pros would love nothing more to return to custom rom tw 4.3 is acting alot like ios 7.

I cant really blame her because she knows nothing about rooting or flashing roms she thought she was helping but now am left with a messy slow laggy phone. I tried to reroot using casual again and it looked like it was working but after it reboot it was running even slower in "safe mode" and supersu says that i have to reroot manually after 4.3. Have tried to root via odin but phone wont go in to download mode no matter how many time i try it always ends up booting in to "safe mode" the only thing i am doing in adding to the custom binary download counter am up to 3 and the warrant counter is at 1. Any advice from the pros would love nothing more to return to custom rom tw 4.3 is acting alot like ios 7.

So you're phone can't boot into download mode? Home+Volume Down? And what type of S3 do you have? Which carrier? Model?

Then do you have a USB JIG, I hear that will force you're phone into download mode. Do some research on it.
Thanks I will sure wish it was easier but it was my mistake for leaving my phone half ass should have seen it all the way through

Hello to all the xda pros had recently bought an s3 so happy that i had finally got it and wasted no time in rooting using causal worked great then i made the biggest mistake ever i didn't flash a recovery or different rom. Could not choose to many new and cool looking roms. Had got called in to work early and left my new phone at home another mistake. My lovely wife found it and seen att send a update notification thinking this is what i wanted since it was all i could talk about she took the 4.3 update!!!

To disable Safe Mode
1. Press and hold the Power button
2. Select Restart
3. Select OK
Then if you in normal mode try get to download mode. Volume down + Home Button and Power button. Hold all anthill you see Warning screen then press Volume Up.
If Safe Mode continues to display on the Home Screen after restarting the device and a Factory Reset does not resolve the problem, it may be due to a faulty Home button which would be considered damaged hardware.

If other method not gone work you can try to get off safe mode by :
Go to Settings
1.Select Apps->All (Look for ALL on top menu or swipe to the right to get to ALL)
2.Select Google Services Framework and tap Clear Data.
3.Turn off (shut down) your phone and turn it back on.
See if the phone will be out of Safe Mode.
I don't think you can get to download mode longest you are in safe mode.
