Turn off your device then hold power and volume down until it boots into download mode. Release the buttons as soon as it starts to boot.

I did it and it's still not working. There's no download mode I don't understand.

I'm confused! Download mode? Or are you wanting bootloader mode?

His terminology is definitely confusing. Download mode is only on Samsung devices. He can't be referring to EDL mode as it's essentially useless for us. So he must be looking to get into the bootloader.

Yeah, kinda figured that. I know we can access DL mode, but like you said, it's useless for us :good:

It's fine guys, I fixed it by myself after an hour of hard time. It seems that my usb went on and off while I was using the command "adb sideload" with TWRP. The installation cancels by itself because of that. Now everytime is fine. Thanks to you guys for replying.

Needs help to unbrick my note 8

USB seems disconnected during loading system to note 8 n5110 and as a result, it stocks at "Firmware upgrade encourtered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". It showed no response to power key and home key. Is there any hope to reload the boot and related files to the device again for unbrick and how? Thanks a lot.

So are you able to power the device on and off currently? Are you able to get into download mode?

Just curious but how are you turning it on? Physically connecting the battery?
Make sure you have the Samsung device driver installed on the PC. Also might try it on another PC if you have that option and see if Odin can connect to device.
If Odin will not work might try using Heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265

As I said, I cannot turn it on or off. It is on when it has power. Yes, you are right, the battery is solided on the device, so I cannot take the battery off.
I have samsung decive driver installed on my PC. Without going into download mode, the PC and Odin at least can find the device, although PC only recognized it as a moderm.

Might try Heimdall and see if you have any luck with that. Link is in my previous post. Otherwise, not sure what you can do besides taking the tablet in for repair.

First, Tablet needs to be switched off. Then, press "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons together. Once the screen lightens, release the buttons and follow the instructions on the screen.
In case you need to go to recovery mode, press "Power" and "Volume Up" buttons together (also the tablet must be switched off first).
I bricked mine trying to go back to stock rom ?

Flashed wrong boot.img and recovery.img!

Hi, i need help. My phone is on lollipop. I tried flashing a bumped recovery.img and i stupidly didn't realise that bumping was patched. But the phone still booted fine, I just couldn't boot into recovery. Today, I tried booting a modified boot.img and now it won't boot AT ALL! Every time I try and press the power button, it will come up with a message that says something like "security error - cause 2 boot certification verify" then the screen will just go black and the LED will flash red and blue constantly unless I pull the battery out. I am so worried!!!! If you want to know, I flashed the recovery and boot images with flashify. I am very very worried. Is there any way I can fix my phone? Thanks.

@GSYNCER, can you get to the download mode? If yes, you might as well flash your firmware using the flash tool. I hope I didn't misunderstand you.

I am not at home right now, so I can't check. But what I did do was connect a USB cable directly connected to the mains plug (no pc) and tried the download method and it didn't work. Should I try with a proper PC to see if it works? As I said, I cannot enter recovery mode or boot into the system. But I CAN do a hard factory reset, but unfortunately that did nothing I am getting very worried and I do not know if download mode works or not. I will try the download mode method when I get home.
@GSYNCER, do let me know if the Download Mode worked for you or not. I am not sure if plugging in to the mains will have the same effect as connecting to a PC. Hope to hear from you.

I managed to do it!! I managed to get into download mode when connected to a PC. Just make sure that the cable is USB 2.0 and it will boot into download mode and follow the steps in this video: https: //youtu. be/1WgXuxDbmbc (remove the spaces in the URL)
If you follow the steps in that video, your phone will be working again. I am even sending this message from my LG G3 itself! Good luck restoring. Thank you.

Tab S4 can't enter in download mode, Bricked!!! help!!!

Few days ago i flashed the Twrp recovery and yesterday i decided to remove it. I locked OEM and it bricked(take a loot at the picture).
The problem is that i can't enter in download mode since i bought it. To flash TWRP, I had to use adb command to reboot the tablet in download mode, but now, bricked, there is no way to use adb.
I had many Samsung devices, so i know how to enter in download mode , in this case power volume + volume -.
Does anyone know some kind of software that when you connect tablet with PC, tablet will enter in download mode?
I think that warranty is voided, so i just don't want to go to a samsung service center.

You forgot to unlock OEM vin dev mode indeed. The only way to get ride about it is to reinstall stock with Odin. I'm really surprised you can't natively go in download mode with hardware buttons. Have you also tried with buttons with your tab connected to an electrical plug?
You can't enter recovery mode either?

I don't know why but after i tried with cmd with "fastboot reboot", i am able to use 3 buttons to enter into download mode. Thank you any way.
Good thing. I advise you to use Samfirm.exe to get the file to flash with Odin. It's depreciated but still works 100% fine.
Hello, I had the problem similar to yours. in practice I have an unlocked OEM S4 tab and Magisk 18.0 installed come on, only that my problem was that I suddenly used the device my device lost the root rights. Then I restarted and reinstalled with TWRP Magisk 18 I restarted in System and everything was ok! yesterday I started reading my message (photos you uploaded on OneDrive) How did you solve it? I have read the discussion but I do not understand how you shave the command .. I see that I can not go into download mode or recovery mode, help me I'm not a newbie so just explain to me how did you use Fastboot? Thanks again

I "quite accidentally" discovered that the physical key combo of POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN got me out of the "Security Error ...) state and into Download mode and I could then flash a Stock ROM using Odin...oh my...what a panic I got into after trying for hours on end to get the device into Download...Smart Switch app couldn't detect the device at all for me to run a recovery...

Bricked my pixel 3 xl.

Hello guys. I was having some trouble with imei. After a lot of struggling(formatting old rom, new rom, deleting partitions etc.) my phone now bricked. Computer only shows Quallcom HS-USB 9008 Qpst idetifies as *DOWNLOAD* nothing more. I think I need qfil flash files. Any help is welcome.
I kid you not try holding power and volume down for something like 2 minutes, I had a Nexus phone that got stuck in download mode and holding the buttons that long is what it took to cancel download mode and go to the bootloader. Now obviously that won't fix your phone if you erased the bootloader by accident but it's worth a shot.

Wow, hadn't see download mode since the original razor. But there used to be a tool floating around that was specifically designed to flash software to your phone in download mode.

Question Nokia G10 phone is starting

So I brought a Nokia G10 for my partner's young brother and it was working amazingly fine since Christmas, but now it's stuck on "Phone is starting..." I've done a restart, let the phone die but to no avail. The phone can't be factory reset as the phone won't load, I can't get into the safe boot as I can't enable developer options and enable USB debugging.
Any suggestions?
Reboot in recovery and reset from there. You'll need to Google on how to get there.

I've tried, the only thing that pops up is "fastboot" no other options, they say you have to enable USB debugging and that brings up the settings but I can't gain access to that.

Yeah I knew how to do it, but when stuck in bootloader and usb debugging isn't enabled it was practically impossible to do. Just got stuck in bootloop .
