This is an easy way to get into fastboot mode for the F3. This will NOT unlock your bootloader. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
This method requires that you have ADB and FASTBOOT already configured on your computer. If you do not, please set it up, and come back to this.
I am not responsible for a bricked device. If you follow the instructions perfectly, you should see the same results as I have gotten. I am posting my findings and what I myself have done, and this work is the sole work of BlondGod.
Backup your device in CWM to external sd prior to attempting!
---------------------------------------------------------
Boot your device normally and run these commands through ADB:
adb shell
su
dd if=dev/zero of=dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
reboot
This will boot your phone into fastboot.
---------------------------------------------------------
After you are finished with fastboot, enter cwm recovery and select backup and restore,
then advanced restore from external sd, then restore boot
This will restore your original boot.img and allow you to reboot your phone normally again.
---------------------------------------------------------
To get into fastboot again, simply re-follow this guide.
