I have spent the last 12 hours looking through forums and toying with my phone to try to get this error message off and as it has worked for everybody else, it still has me puzzled.
I can't get back to the download screen from where I am stuck right now. The USB isnt recognizing my phone is connected keeping ODIN from picking it up. I have tried the vol- and vol+ with the power button, but it just keeps resetting and showing the same message...I have been holding buttons for about 6 hours of my last 12...I have taken the battery out, plugged it back in holding the buttons while hooking up the USB cable, as well as doing the same with it plugged into the wall...All these methods I have gathered with no luck...Anybody hve any more or any alternate suggestions? Thanks
I was stuck there too on Saturday. Here's what finally got me into download mode:
Pull the battery to power the phone off, then replace it. Hold just the volume down button. Do not hold the power button. Plug in either the wall charger, or a USB cable connected to your PC.
This powered my phone up and loaded the download screen when hours of trying all the other posted combinations failed me.

So, I've been trying to restore my phone after some modding gone bad...but now, I've gotten to the point where I can't even get to the green battery screen. My phone won't turn on, and it'll only display this screen with a phone icon connecting to a yellow triangle which is connecting to a computer.
Has anyone gotten this before?
More importantly, is this fixable? Or am I gonna have to file an insurance claim for a "phone that got dropped in a lake" this week?
Use the search option. It will do wonders. This has happened plenty of times before. ODIN can fix the problem.
1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)
2. Don't turn it the phone on!
3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen
IF the phone screen does show the battery charger or something else on the screen after being plugged in without you hitting the power button, so far so good.
5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up and volume down buttons.
6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.
7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But DON'T let go of the volume buttons!

The best luck i had getting my phone into download mode was pulling the battery, putting it back in. holding vol up+down and plugging it in. instead of going to charging, it goes to download immediately.
All messages related to "3 hardware key combo to get back to download mode so that you can use ODIN to restore", or "use adb to get to download mode so you can use ODIN" only work when the 3 hardware key combo work in the first place, or your PC can recognize the phone for adb to work
I am one of the unlucky one that does not have this 3 hardware key combo working, and am also in this sad state (Phone-!-PC). As a result, PC is not seeing the phone, so adb is out of the question right now
My phone has been like this since last Thursday (a failed attempt to use ODIN to flash JAC's OC/Ext4 kernel). All my reading so far does not give me a fuzzy feeling that I can ever get back to Download mode (ON MY PHONE)
I called my carrier for a replacement, and it should arrive this morning...
If someone can actually get to download mode WITHOUT the 3 hardware key combo OR adb access, I would love to know how
Had the EXACT same problem. Here is how I fixed it:

Just as I read, it's a luck of the draw whether you have a TMobile Vibrant that has the 3 button key combo disabled. My first one doesn't have it. My second one does
hi, i have a milestone 2 HK version. The phone would not turn on no matter what i do (camera + volume ^; x + power) tried all that but still no hope. The screen flashes when I hold the camera + volume ^ + power but it goes off in about 5 secs. And when i plug the phone to a wall charger, the screen will flash on and off during the whole charge.
I have also tried RSD but since the computer cannot recognize the device was plugged in i cannot do anything about it. i did find the drivers for the phone but still no hope.
please help, i am really lost.
Connect it to the original wall charger... and keep it that way for a few hours.
I had the same problem long time ago, the battery was drained but somehow it took ages before it really started charging again.
Could be a defective charger, battery or phone. Just test each one and see what's the problem.
checked both...still no hope
Reinstall Driver for MS2 on PC
i have done that, but it still wouldn't recognize that a device have been plugged in
Hi guys,
I have a Nexus 7 2012 which has become almost completely unresponsive.
Possible cause:
Last thing I remember is that I had it in my pocket and when I looked at it later - it was in bootloader mode. I pressed the power button and since then I have not been able to wake it up.
The device does not charge because I cannot feel the battery to be warm after a whole night of charging. I cannot turn it on no matter how long I keep the power button presses. I have tries two minutes on the clock. I cannot enter into bootloader by pressing power and volume down, even though I keep pressing them for two minutes also on the clock.
So I removed the back cover and pulled out the battery connector. Reconnected but there has been no change in condition.
The device shows the following signs of life.
When the battery plug is pulled out I connect it to my Windows 8 PC via the USB cable and I push on the Power button for about 10 seconds, I get in the Windows Device Manager in Other Devices a new(unrecognized) device named APX. When I pull out the USB cable the I hear the windows usb disconnect sound and the device disappears.
When I connect the battery, I connect the USB to my PC. I don't push any buttons and after 15 or so seconds I get a message USB device not recognized in the USB controllers section of the Windows Device Manager. When I press and hold the Power button (or Power and volume down buttons), after 10 sec The unrecognized device is moved to the Other Devices section and again is called APX.
I cannot turn it on. I cannon boot into bootloader. I have tried almost any approached listed here an on Google (about 10 different step by step guides) and I remain in this position.
Please help me bring it back to life. Hope it's possible. What should I try. I am fairly technical and can understand most instructions.
Had same problem,the only solution found charging via dock station.My 5 years old child broke usb port trying insert cable.
Was plugging in my G2 to charge it and suddenly it had this screen. "Firmware Update. Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete."
How do I exit safely? Will I corrupt any data or damage anything? I was only plugging in my phone to a wall socket, so I don't know why there would be such a screen. Help anyone? >.<
Someone knows how I can exit safely? >< Please?
That sounds like its in download mode, which you get to by turning off the phone, then plugging in a usb cable while holding vol up. I always assumed the usb cable needed to be connected to a computer for that to happen, but maybe it works if it just senses power.
Anyway, if the bar isn't going anywhere (and it shouldn't be since its not connected to anything feeding it data) then you should be okay unplugging it and turning the phone off, then back on.
Edit: Just tried it with my phone - turned off, then connected USB cable/wall charger while holding vol up and sure enough it went into download mode. I unplugged the cable, then held the power button until the phone restarted. Booted as normal.
My Lg ls740 prompted me to do a system update 3days ago and has not came back om since. It just keeps flashing from LG logo and the android man...i have tried taking battery out...factory reset...and everything above . Can anyone help?!?!
Hi,
I have a nexus 7 2012 and it worked fine and runs CM 12. The other day I powered it off by pressing the power button then clicking the power off option in the power menu. When I turned it back on it didn't boot up and I ended up having to hold the power button for ages. Powered if off again the next day (only use it occasionally) and when I went to turn it back on it didn't boot again. This time though no matter how long I hold the button for or leave it on charge nothing happens.
I've tried everything from trying different charging cables, plugs, plugged it into laptop, pressing power + volume down and even pressing all 3 buttons. I've popped the back off and unplugged then plugged back in the battery. Nothing works there's no sign of life at all, no screen flickers no nothing I'm stumped. Think when I powered it off it was at 15% battery if that makes a difference?
Only conclusion I can come too is that the charging port is broke or the circuit. Sadly I don't have anything I can use to try and charge it using the four pin connector at the side to test it. Only thing I haven't tried is to "jump-start" the battery. Just take out battery and strip a usb cable and plug the power wires directly into the battery for half hour but not to sure whether to do that or not and wanna make sure I have exhausted all other options before trying that.
Any ideas?
