1. power off ur phone
2. hold the volume up+down and plug in the usb cable
3. u should enter recovery mode with the picture of the green robot digging
4. load all the neccesary file in odin and start flashing!

ohhh wait i forgot to mention one more thing u dont hold the power button during the process just only the volume up+down button

power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers

You need the Nexus S drivers.

None of this iis working!

ok .... first you need to find a flashable vibrant 2.2 kernel, that has the new edifiy script (I used eugene's 2.2.1 deadhourse kernal with added edifiy) .... go into recovery, flash the kernal, then from the recovery ,reboot recovery .... DO NOT TRY TO BOOT UP THE PHONE ....then you will need ODIN and JFD stock rom ...set up ODIN ,pull the battery ,and replace it, then press and hold vol up and down and plug in the usb .. the phone should now be in download mode .... make sure you use a pit file and select reportion in ODIN.... hope this helps .....

I just had this problem. Easiest way for me to get my PC to recognize my phone was to connect it to kies mini and then have it download the drivers. It will download the nexus s drivers and then Odin will recognize your phone. From there, you're good to go.

[GUIDE]How to recover your tablet (no apx mode,no uid and NV flash)

If you where like me who tried to flash the ICS recovery and bootloader only to get stuck in the starting kernel screen with no adb,no recovery and couldn't connect to the computer well here's something that might help. I found this app in the Andoid general section its universal flasher AIO by fonehacker and it got my tablet up and running in less than 10 min here's how I did it.
1. Download the app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28719715
2. Download your HC recovery
3. Make sure you have a HC rom in your SD card prior to running any thing.
4. Place your tablet into recovery by holding power button and the volume down tell your bootlader starts and click in the fastboot option from the recovery screen.
5. After you extract the files run the app and click on the flash recovery option.
6. Find the recovery you downloaded and click on flash with fastboot wait tell it does its thing
7. Reboot into the bootloader by holding the power button and volume down button your gonna have the same screen as before but this time scroll to the reboot recovery option and it should boot into recovery.
8. Once in recovery flash your rom that you downloaded earlier and flash away as always.
I take no credit for this app I only used it to fix my tablet this app was made by fonehacker so any thanks go to him not me I only wanted to share this app because I no so many people are lost using the apx method and don't have there uid. If you need any help feel free to pm me and again I take no credit for this app all credit goes to fonehacker.

You mention this will help if you can't connect to pc but surely you need to connect to pc let the program run. Or am I missing something?

Yes when your stuck on the loading bootloader screen there's a also the option to go into fastboot the PC well recognize it then and then run the program and your good to go but like I said this is for the people stuck on the loading bootloader screen.

You don't need to go to download mode to flash tars. If you boot the phone, the first 5 seconds you can click fastly on the start button in odin.

You can connect it via adb and type reboot download. Alternatively use terminal emulator to do the same. Or use ruben's method.

This is already covered in stickies, also your odin information is unhelpful - not specific enough for noobs who could brick their phones as a result.

Or you can go to stock recovery and use adb sideload su-binary1.25.zip path. Download from chainfire site.

Problem entering recovery mode

hello, as any other user, I wanted to install CWM recovery on my s3 neo-I9300I GT. The problem is that when I go into recovery mode, enter the download mode. Then install the TWRP think the error is solved. I was wrong because it also entered into download mode, I need help, someone can tell me to do?
here I leave a picture of what happens when I want to enter the recovery mode
Regards

I don't know what button combination you follow to enter to recovery mode.
To enter into recovery mode follow the below key combination:
Volume UP keys
+ Power key + Home key
Also see the below link to flash a recovery on your Neo (if you dont have one)
