Download Tools

The default power menu in Samsung Galaxy S3 is limited to Power off , Data network mode, Flight mode, Restart and sound profiles. So if we want to boot our Samsung Galaxy S3 to download or recovery mode there is no one click option rather than the key combination method. The key combo method is not practical always as it needs our both hands.

In this post I included the steps to install extended power menu mod (Recovery, Download, etc.) in Samsung Galaxy S3. We should thank XDA Recognized Developer AndiP for making this mod. Currently, extended power menu mod is only available for selected ICS and Jelly bean versions.

Note:
- Make sure to download the correct odex or deodex firmware versions file. Check if Odexed or Deodexed ?
- This mod is only for Galaxy S3 with Stock Rom.
