[Q] Not booting to Download Mode - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi guys,
I just rooted my Galaxy S4 M919 using Odin. All worked fine till i removed CWM recoverly from the phone. Currently i cant boot the phone to download mode so that i can install a custom rom. When i press the power + volume up + home key, it takes me to android recoverly mode. How can i fix this to take me back to Download mode when i press this keys

Press and hold the power+home key+volume down ---- when the warning screen appears let go of all and quickly tap the volume up key.

[Q] Getting problems after failed flashing CMW

Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :
- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)
- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)
Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen
Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone

Can't even go to download mode when you switch your phone off and use the combination of power home and volume up?

pull your battery out.
insert again, go to download mode
and try to reflash CWM via odin, make sure you tick the "auto reboot" in odin.

You need to push power button + volume button + menu button
volume up = reboot bootloader
volume down = reboot recovery
volume center = reboot
However, if you had an unsuccessful root, you might ending up in a soft-brick. There is a posting about how to get out of it somewhere here on xda, but you have to search for it.
Good Luck,

[Q] Can't get into recovery

I tried to flash a ROM and when it tried to reboot it was stuck at the logo screen. Before I flashed the ROM I did a backup with TWRP. Now I can't get into recovery mode but I can get into download mode. What or how can I fix this problem via Odin ?
This is a T800

Thanks in advance
Your need to boot into Download mode by simultaneously pressing and holding Power + Vol down + Home. After the tab has booted into Download mode, press Vol down for cancelling the download mode. Then you must be quick: before the boot screen appears, you need to press and hold Power + Vol up + Home to boot into recovery mide.
Best, maris

If you search Q&A Help and Troubleshooting this problem has been covered many times.
The problem is purely user error and timing.
From power off simply press POWER + VOL UP + HOME. Hold until recovery boots.
If you are stuck at boot screen then hold POWER + VOL DOWN + POWER. As soon as the screen goes blank change to volume up whilst still holding the other buttons.
Guaranteed to get you into recovery mode.

What is the secret gesture to enter into Download/Recovery mode?

Hello,
Can someone give me the EXACT procedure to enter into Download and Recovery mode please?
If my tab (SM-T830) is switched off, and I switch it on by pressing Vol down + Power and I keep pressing both buttons, it will boot until the first splash screen (Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Powered by Android) then after this screen, it will reboot..
If I release buttons during this splash screen, it boots up normally
I already succeeded to enter to download or recovery modes before but I have no idea how. I guess I must release 1 or 2 button at the point but when ?
Thanks
Hello,
Hopefully this will be helpful, the following procedure worked for me:
make sure the tab is off
plug the USB cable in your tab (but not in your computer)
hold down both volume buttons together
plug the USB cable in your computer
then the tab start (you may release the buttons) with a menu allowing you to choose (Vol +/-) between download mode and reboot.

It works perfectly, thank! That's a weird way to go to DL mode but it works!
And once I'm already in DL (and flashed a tar with Odin), do you know how I can restart directly to Recovery mode without rebooting to system?

This is really late, but go to recovery and select download mode.
Power off
Hold down all three buttons (power, vol down, vol up)
Once it vibrates let go of power and vol down, continue to hold vol up. Never fails.

Did this several times exactly the same way it's described and it fails every single time. Other way worked perfectly and easily on my first try.
