S3 download mode not opening

[Dhirvash_singh]

so i'm trying to get my S3 into download mode so I've followed to necessary steps (Holding down power, Home and Volume down and it takes me to the warning screen. now here's the issue, to continue, i'm supposed to press the Vol up button and when i do that it does nothing. no matter how many times i press the vol up button nothing happens.. though when i press the volume down button to reboot the phone as normal it works fine... my volume buttons are both working fine so im not sure what to do now.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Thanks in Advance

Welcome to the forums. You can set up your PC to use ASB commands, and then you should be able to use the adb reboot bootloader command to bring you to the download mode screen.

Check this out...this video explains how to place ADB on Windows, Mac and Linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo6kqcn8WCo&list=FLlMLVjsALU_oHfD0fnndLcg&index=54
