I got my new galaxy s from Bell last week. I have read how i can go to download mode and recovery mode.
For recovery mode, i can go in and there is few option i can do. Normally i just bootup.
For download mode, i can go in also. But there is a yellow construction logo, and it didn't disappear. Is it normal? It was just saying downloading and do not turn off target forever. Then i have to turn it off by pressing power button for 5 seconds. And it will reboot to normal mode.
Do i get the bad version of i9000m? And my series number is end of 60xxxxx
Thanks you.
don't worry that is normal
the contrusction screen (download mode) is meant to be that way.
it is only used to flash the phone with new version of the ROMs
you got a good phone!

Thx a lot!!
Because i saw my series number is 60xxxxx...and it match the number the website mention.
Anyway, very happy with my new phone!
I got my SGS on the first day it launched, but Im a little nervous to test the recovery mode items (lack of experience with Android OS). I've looked, but was wondering could someone describe to me what the need (and difference) is between recovery mode and download mode?
check out the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
it can't be any more clear than that
Yes, don't worry. It don't damage the phone. Just press 3 buttons when you power off the phone.

Hi,
i got the following issue with my A5:
I accidentally dropped it in the sink on Friday, then turned off the device and let it dry.
Tried turning it on on Monday and it was unresponsive. Left it just like that and roughly 15-30 minutes later it did turn on just to turn itself off a while later. (Note: Tried to charge the device and it said the battery temperature is too low to allow it to charge)
It hasn't turned on since then, i can't boot it with any conceivable button combination. Not even Recovery Mode, the only mode that boots is the Download Mode. Screen looks fine, and it still turns on, great.
So i decided to take an eternity with my 384 kbit/s connection to grab some firmware and flash it.
Firmware in question is the following from Samsung-Firmware:
PDA Version: A510FXXU4CQH2
CSC Version: A510FOXA4CQH2
PHONE Version: A510FXXU4CQH2
Filename: A510FXXU4CQH2_A510FOXA4CQH2_A510FXXU4CQH2_HOME.tar.md5
Odin does recognize the device and flashed it with these messages and settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem now is that it still doesn't boot/restart, and still only goes into Download Mode and i am unsure how to get it to work at this stage since the hardware seems to be fine overall.
Any help would be appreciated.
Greets,

Bumping since i still haven't found a solution to the problem. Should also note that i typo'd on the thread title and meant Download Mode, not Recovery Mode.
Hello,
I followed the guide at http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138.
I went from having TWRP installed and just having blinking white LED to now booting into Android recovery screen (shown here)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now that I'm at the Android Recovery screen, someone mentioned I should just be able to hit wipe data/factory reset option and it should boot me into the OS. However, what actually happens is the unit reboots, shows the motorola sign, buzzes, goes black, shows the motorola sign again, goes black, then boots back into Android recovery screen shown.
I'm not sure how to continue troubleshooting.
The one thing that stuck out to me is it said "Flash signed images after reboot if needed"
Is that what I'm missing? If so, what does that entail?
Any help is much appreciated. Concerned I may have fully bricked the phone.
Thanks from your frustrated friend,
Connor J.
P.s. Model # is XT1625-SS
I realized I forgot to add the model number which is XT1625-SS.
I've bought another moto g4 in the meantime that I'm using.
I originally went wrong by installing the SuperSU in a link from a youtube video that was a link to an older version of SuperSU.
So I know I messed up there.
But I'd like to know if there's a way to remedy it because other than my failed tinkering the hardware on the phone is perfectly ok.
Hi all,
My Wife's tablet seem to be stuck in somesort of system update loop.
I can't seem to put it into recovery mode using
HOME + Volume up + POWER
I can put the tablet in DOWNLOAD mode using HOME + Volume down + POWER, but my PC does not seem to detect the tablet
Using OdinV3 3,14 with the Samsung USB drivers installed.
Is the tablet a lost cause or can i try something else to fix it?
Here is a screenshot what i see on the screen for a brief moment before it reboots.

Thank you for your time!
=========== EDIT1:
So i was able to hook the tab to the PC using another cable i had lying arround, and i wanted to flash TWRP:
But reading the manual, it instruct me to enable OEM unluck in developer options. But this is something i cannot do because the device won't boot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666
What should i do?
=========================================
====Edit2
So I found me some firmware for my device from sammobile, I hope I can use Odin to flash this on the tablet
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2016/firmware/SM-T580/PHN/
=====
======EDIT3
So the flash process was stuck in hthe initialization phase for to long and I decided to unplug the device and try again. Now don't ask me why but this time the device automatically booted up in recovery mode and I was able to factory reset the device. It now boots up fine... Can someone explain what is going on? All seems fine now.
Kind regards,
Maniak

Now my phone don't work, all i can see it's a black screen and nothing work's, no download menu, can't connect to Odin.....can i save the phone or just stay 2 months and buy a new phone. I found this pdf any of you know if it's a scam or it's actually true ?
And i'm sorry if i posted in wrong topic!
Don't know much about Samsung phones but mine can not boot into download mode using Home+Vol.Down+Power anymore.
However, it works if I do the following:
1) Open Odin
2) Power off device
3) Hold Power+Vol.Up+Vol.Down, while doing this plug in your cable.
4) Maybe you have to long press Vol.Up now
4) Odin should detect phone and phone should be in download mode
Don't know if that still works since I'm refering to my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which is really old (highest official Android OS was 2.3.6).
If it doesn't work, someone else may help you.
I try that but is not working.... Thx for reply
My ZE553KL (I use it as a home device control, small tablet) keep loading/reloading for 3 hours now. I CANNOT SHUT IT DOWN. everytime I have this vibrate boot, ITS SUPER ANNOYING.
It show the bootloader then reboot, then show the bootloader and so on. Buttons are unresponsive.
Only think I can do is press up and get to screen number 2 for exactly 6 second (my computer then recognize it).
I cannot remove battery (hello soldered battery). or shut it down, I guess at some point It will drain battery but.
I have no idea what is happening, please help?

Ouch
Play with it. Proper button sequence and timing is everything. It's easy to not hit the right button at the exact moment. Allowing the battery to auto shutdown may break the cycle. Don't attempt to solder the battery without a good iron and skillset. You need to be fast about it.
If the OS is pre Pie it's suspectable to rootkits that require a reflash to erraticate.
A hardware failure is also possible.
A bad coded 3rd party apk can also boot loop you. That's worse than a normal boot loop though.
It's definitely corrupted... hopefully someone here who has seen this before and/or knows more about that line of phones advanced troubleshooting can help you.
