Huh....really, i press power+home+volume down button to perform hard reset, it been more than 10 min, can I just take the battery out?

Dont take out yet,wait for another pro advice,but for me 10min is quite long

where are u stuck at? u want to go into recovery mode? no need 10 min, 10 sec enough ady usually.

Is in recovery mode, it just show downloading.

That is DOWNLOAD mode. You do hard reset through RECOVERY mode : Vol UP+HOME+POWER . It is vol UP not vol down
Hardreset just take 2-3 mins to complete including reboot
From the recovery menu select wipe data/factory reset and than select reboot

it is better to perform hard reset for new phone???
I just got my phone this morning too.

No, I think like what uncle Benny said, I press wrong mode, I think I need to perform again

not required. don't do it unless necessary.

Just switch off phone or take out battery and boot to recovery mode

Added on June 12, 2012, 1:56 pmI ALWAYS do a factory reset first on any new phone . I would say is a good practice. Choice up to you

What lemond ask is are you in that mode? If you pressed volume down, you're in Download Mode. Since you wanna go to recover mode instead of download mode
1. Just press+hold power button to reboot the phone; OR
2. Take out the battery, it won't hurts

Then try to go to Recover mode again

I always do that as well. Nothing to lose there.

Had just perform that & clean all the user setting. Finally completed.

Uncle Benny, any recommended roms to be used for now? Waiting for my card to arrive before doing anything lol.

Disclaimer: I don't have an S3 (hopefully, yet). But I do have a Galaxy Nexus.

I used MyPhoneExplorer (MPE) to backup/transfer my contacts, call logs and sms from my SE Xperia Arc to my Galaxy Nexus. For apps, I didn't bother as I just reinstalled manually, to avoid any incompatibility with ICS. For specific app data like Whatsapp data, I never bothered as well, as I use Whatsapp for purely non-work related stuff. However, having said that, I think you can backup and restore apps as well with MPE.

You will need to install an app/client in your phone as well as a program on your PC. For info, visit here: www.fjsoft.at/ If you are facing any problems, have a read of their forums. Good troubleshooting resource.

If there are no problems, this way is pretty convenient to use. You can use MPE to make periodic backups and to sync with your MS Outlook and other similar clients too.

All the best. Cheers.
