HOW DO I enter downloading mode!
i press volume button down, home screen button, lock screen button i let go of lock screen button after i saw the screen on and i continue to press it as long as i can hold and it just gets stuck at downloading screen i cannot go to select anything what can i do???
huh what? you want to get into the download mode? well the downloading screen is the download mode... its what you use when you've messed your phone and you need to flash it using odin.
Now if you mean the update/boot mode where you can apply update.zips, then thats volume up + menu + power.
instructions are on the wiki

with big pictures too
Just so you don't feel silly for asking, you don't need to let go of the power button to enter download mode.
You are in the download mode, you can't do anything with it from the phone, you put your phone into this mode in order to load a rom onto it from your computer. To get out of the dl mode just pull your battery.
You can just hold down the power button to restart the phone.

have you tried just taking the battery out? waiting a few minutes and then putting it back in?...
I stucked the same way in recovery mod, take out battery then back after 15 minutes and boots back to recovery where it not allows accept anything.
With adb command i was able to reboot into bootloader mode, and phone works.
But i dont have working recovery mode, cannot enter download mode, and the phone not rooted.
I TRIED EVERYTHING the phone will NOT get into download mode... i forgot my got damn password to my gmail and now i cant even activate the phone.. i found out i can use odin3 but the thing is no matter what i do it will NOT go into download mode
Pull battery. Plug phone and computer using usb cable. Hold both volume up and down. Insert battery. Works everytime unless of course you flashed i9000 boot loaders in which case only hold either up or down.

Do this + try tapping the menu key and or the home key while holding down the other buttons.......... there is a timing trick to this but one of these will work . Also in Q & A S14274N Noob bible has all the other ways check it out.
as a last resort u can always get a usb jig to get u into download mode!

If thats red recovery, voodoo, then go down to voodoo and in there should be reboot to download mode.
If its not there or you dont see red then search in recovery as some have dl mode. Also if you have adb set up on your computer and you can get to recovery then in command line type adb reboot download.

Try this:
Take the battery out and put it back. Then you should hold both volume keys while plugging the usb cable to the phone. Don't release the keys until download mode appears.
maybe ur hardware locked? s thats why u cant get into dl mode!

What ROM are you running?
If you are completely stock, then use Kies to update to the latest official stock ROM, this will fix your 3 button issue via a SBL fix.
I love the SBL fix.
I tried unrooting my phone, but it got stuck in a boot loop.
When I try to enter to recovery mode to factory reset I get an android lying on its back with a red triangle.
I've tried a bunch of combinations of buttons, but the phone just turns off if I hold power + volume up.
In cmd prompt on the PC type: adb reboot recovery. That should work.

that is the stock recovery. what you want to do is flash the factory img via the bootloader/fastboot.
You have the buttons right, but you don't really hold the two down. It's a bit tricky but once you figure out the exact way to do it, it's easy.
Press and hold the power button then immediately after press volume up. Then let go. The menu will appear.

Reinstall the usb drivers and turn on usb debugging in settings/developer options.

Your device should be called Nexus 4 and not Samsung. Install the drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051, after that connect the phone through usb, look in device manager and delete the device. Reconnect again and choose manualy wich drivers to install and choose the driver you just installed. Now your device is called Nexus 4.
your stock recovery over wrote your custom recovery and that made the little android with the triangle come up. all you have to do is reflash a custom recovery using fastboot.
go to zedomax channel at www.nexus4root.com and he gives you video instructions using the cmd on your computer
Try this:
Go into bootloader and recovery
You will see the android with the red triangle
hold power and press volume up (tricky part)
wipe cache
If this doesnt work try doing a factory reset instead
please help, woke up today with phone in boot loop and very hot, tryed odin to flash new firmware it was working fine, but near the end i get fail, so i used smart switch for phone initialization, with model and serial, it did his thing, but when it finishes and goes to reboot device it goes back to boot loop, what can i do?
So i take it from the lack of replies it's dead, so is there a way i can pull photos and videos from the internal memory? it still powers up, just stuck in boot loop, i can still get to download mode, just cant get into recovery, is there a way to get to the files?
If the phone is in bootloop she's not dead.
Try wiping it trough the fast boot menu and start over.

Search for fastboot and ADB in either the forum or Google.

Ok, i searched and donwloaded platform tools to get ADB and fastboot, but from what i read i need to be in recovery for adb to pick up my phone, and i cant seem to get into recovery mode, pushing vol up + home + power does nothing, holding power to turn off phone also does not work, as soon as i connect phone to charger it turns on and goes into boot loop, only thing i can do is enter download mode, but in download mode i cant seem to get adb to find phone.
Put it in download mode, push an original OS from Samsung on it and after that you should be good 2 go.

adb reboot-bootloader

tryed those, but it seems i cant get adb to recognize my phone, maybe it's because it's in download mode?

So you already did this;
Phone in recovery mode; wipe it completely and restore to factory settings.
Phone in download mode; original OS via Odin.
After those steps it should work. Had to do the same to my phone last night. Lol.

the only part i didnt do is
Phone in recovery mode; wipe it completely and restore to factory settings.
because i cannot enter recovery, it supposed to be vol up+ home + power, but i think it requires phone to be off, and i cant turn phone off, holding power to turn it off does nothing, already let batery die, but as soon as i plug the cord it turns itself on, and goes back into boot loop, so again when i try the combo to go to recovery it does nothing (because i think it really needs to be off to enter recovery) so all i can do is do vol down + home + power and go to download mode, but i'm not getting adb to recognize phone in download mode, so i could command it to reboot to recovery =(
If you hold all buttons down it will restart the phone. And as soon as the screen goes black release all but volume up and power you should get into recovery mode

I'm having similar issues with my Galaxy S9+. When you say "Wipe it completely" I should do the standard wiping or advanced wiping and select all folders?
Hello,
Maybe someone can help as it looks like Samsung has changed download mode on the Note 20. I tried following the instruction for the S20 and go into recovery mode, followed by selecting reboot to bootloader, but I am greeted with a screen that does not look like the normal Samsung download mode. Has anyone had any success in getting into it as I would like to flash the TMB image on my unlocked model.
Thanks!
Same boat as you...the screen almost looks to be the bootloader screen from a pixel phone. Something has definitely changed...FYI to get out of that screen make sure it says Start at the top then hold down the power and vol down button. That should reboot to recovery where you can just hit restart system.

Exactly, looks like something out of a Pixel phone, but ya Power + Volume down will reboot back to recovery where you can restart. But for the life of me cannot find Download Mode.
Try the Power/Vol Up. That'll take you to Recovery, then scroll down to "Reboot to Bootloader"

That is what I have done, and I can get into recovery, but once you select "Reboot to Bootloader" your taken to a screen that looks more like a Pixel bootloader and not Download Mode.
Power off. Connect USB to computer. Hold volume up and down at same time connect phone

Thank you, it works.
I also got this issue. Try to use ADB command, adb reboot download.
why do ppl have different ways of doing this on the same device?
