HELP**Urgent** 'unit won't hard reset'

My usb cable detached during the rom update ... now it won't start and neither soft or hard reset works.
Please ... any suggestions

Plug it back in and re-run the update

It won't start so it makes no connection to active synch on the pc

Have you tried the boot loader mode. TO activate this mode, hold down the power button, lights button and press the reset button. The screen should go blank and have serial written on it. Once you plug in the usb, this will change to USB. Start the update again.

thanks both of you - worked and so relieved.

My atom did not run in to bootloader mode

Please help in this matter..
thanks.

Thank you for your help to save my S511

I am a Chinese and used this phone in China, when I get the phone, I must change the original ESN and IMSI, AKEY which the device to my own, so, when I doing near ending, the device reboot, but only can turn on to the first page, it is showed "HTC SNAP", can't open continue.
I have try to save it, but it seemed I can't turn it on:
when I press the volume up + volume down + power, in the tri-color bootloader screen is "trigger ramdump mode",there is a "serial" showed on the bottom when I connect the phone to PC via usb, it will change to "USB", but the ActiveSync is can't identify the device.
when I press volume down + power, in the tri-color bootloader screen is "CEDA200 SPL-0.34.0000 MICROP-WILLOW#C(LED) V58B",there is a "serial" showed on the bottom when I connect the phone to PC via usb, it will change to "USB", but the ActiveSync is can't identify the device too.
And I have "cold-boot" it tooress volume down + send + power→ "this operation will delete all you personal date and reset all settings to manufacturer default press volup to restove manufacturer datault of press other keys to cancel " It can't save the device.
I know before I ask for anyone, I must search my answer through the internet and I do it well, but I can't find the way to save my phone.
I have find a 6.5 rom for it, but "It is HardSPL? Does the bootloader say 0.34.Hard? If not, you have to wait for an official ROM to be released." my S511 isn't HardSPL, and it is can't turn on, so I can't copy the JumpSPL.exe to it and can't flash any costom ROM in it.
Cause my poor english, maybe you can't understand which I said full, anyway, thank you for your kind answer.

haha
same as me

SM-T530 can't enter in Download mode (Recovery mode OK)

Deal All,
My first goal (before rooting, try custom rom etc.) is to update with official rom from Android 4.4.2 to 5.0.2.
Samsung Kies ask me to use SmartSwitch which said "your device can't be upgraded" or something like that.
As said in title, I cannot enter in download mode. Pressing Vol+ Home and Power display the usual warning message, Vol+ to continue / Vol- to cancel.
Pressing the Vol+ just reboot the tab.
Entering Recovery Mode work fine with Vol- Home and Power.
I found some info about an eventual "OEM lock" to turn off. I followed instruction but no way, no "OEM lock" appear in Dev menu...
The tab as been wiped thanks to the recovery mode.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Edit: Resolved, it was a faulty volume button

i had th same thing but on lte version i just went to settings, delevoper options, end unlock bootloader or smthing like that it magically started working

Thanks for your reply. Basically those are instructions I followed without success:
1 - Turn off the phone.
2 - Turn on the phone by holding down the volume up button.
3 - The phone will enter official recovery mode.
4 - Wipe cache partition.
5 - Wipe data/factory reset.
6 - Reboot system.
7 - Log in to your Google account and your Samsung account.
8 - Go to settings and enable developer mode.
9 - Enter developer mode, enable "OEM unlocking" option.
10 - Now you will be able to enter the DOWNLOAD mode
I can't find any settings in dev mode meaning "OEM unlocking" or "unlock bootloader"...
I tried also to communicate with Odin, but the tab is only detected in regular mode, not in recovery mode.
I know it's kind of old device, but I can't be the only one, a solution should exist...

Ok, so it's resolved, and was even more stupid than you may think: my physical volume button was faulty and didn't catch each time when I pressed Vol+ or Vol-. Using a small tool did the trick.

Can't unlock bootloader

Hi,
I have trouble unlocking my A40. It's 2nd piece I own and the problem is the same.
When I follow the steps from this forum;
Go to Developer Settings and enable "OEM Unlock" option
Power off the device and boot in download mode
In download mode, you will see the long press and volume up option to unlock the bootloader
Unlock the bootloader. That will wipe your device so be sure you made a backup of your data
After bootloader unlock, boot up the phone and make sure it is connected to the internet or it will trigger rmm prenormal
Setup the phone without google account and others
Reboot in download mode and flash the recovery and vbmeta images
Boot to TWRP
Format data in TWRP
Flash the Multidisabler zip
Now you can reboot

I'm stuck at the 3rd point.
I don't see ANY instruction about Volume UP + Power in download mode. Nor FASTBOOT see my device to run actions with it.
What I see is only "Volume down key + power key for more than 7 secs Cancel (restart phone).
And holding Vol UP + Power doesn't do anything.
How to make this work?
Thanks.

You did enable OEM Unlock, correct?
Turn the device completely off, without any cables connected. Keep a USB cable ready that's plugged into your PC.
With the device powered off, hold both Volume buttons, and plug in the USB cable connected to your PC. Do not press Power. You should see a prompt on either a green or blue screen; select the option for Device Unlock Mode.

Finally.
Thank you for making me try for another time
