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

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.
Quick question.
I have had red recovery (voodoo lagfix for a while now) but i have been wanting to upgrade to a 2.3.3 rom and noticed that my 3 button combo does not work anymore. When i reboot my phone in recovery it does not go to the stock recovery. It just goes straight into clockworkmod recovery. I don't have to choose reinstall packages or anything like that to get to CWM recovery. Even when my phone is off and i plug in the usb cable,and the battery icon comes up and i try to boot into download mode, it doesn't go there but goes straight to the red recovery. Is this normal or not and is there a way to get back the stock recovery so that i can get my download mode back?
Well i seemed to have done something to get download mode back. But is it suppose to boot straight into clockworkmod recovery without the stock recovery first?
Not sure what rom you are running? If you have voodoo recovery should be red. Some roms have it when you hit the power button you have the choice to boot into the download mode
usually you power off, then hold all three buttons down. when you see the vibrant screen flash up the second time, let go of the power button and keep holding the volume buttons...for recovery not download mode.
With the CM7 Clockwork recovery you will not go to stock first. You will go straight to CWR. For download mode simply turn off your phone. Plug in your USB and hold up/down volume. You'll go straight to Download Mode. I hold the volume up and down then plug it in.
Easiest way to download mode is hold volume buttons and plug your usb cable in...

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.
Hey so im not really new here just made a new account because i forgot my old one......so i recently bought an s6 edge plus and decided to root it with arter kernel....i did everything oem unlock usb debugging....then i download the kernel and super su and put it on my phone......then opened odin put the recovery in AP....then put the phone in download mode and clicked start.....so it said pass and then it was still stuck on downloading so i rebooted by holding volume down and power.......then my phone turned on as usual so i switched it off and entered the recovery again and the samsung default android just popped up....ive seen a guy on youtube doing the same thing and he got to the recovery but fore the same old samsung recovery kept popping up....any ideas or help ?
Before you flash a custom recovery on odin you must uncheck autoreboot on odin and then once you flash custom recovery you have to manually turn of phone and turn on using recovery combo

Don't switch it off. Straight after it starts up after using the download combo move you finger from the volume down to the volume up button, then you should be in custom recovery.

Hello,
I bricked my A3 2016 a3exelte while updating TWRP to 3.7.0_9-0.
The phone boots but gets stuck on the very first screen (the one with "Samsung Galaxy A36 powered by android").
I can boot into Download mode but the volume up and down keys don't respond (it's been like that for a while, even before the phone was bricked), so I can't get into Download mode.
Any suggestions to get it back to life?
Hi, not sure i understand, you can boot into download mode, but you cant use up and down keys?
To get into download mode you have to use the down key atleast?
Because i had the exact same problem as you, twrp 3.7.0_9-0 also bricked my phone.
but i used XDA version of odin and another TWRP version to get into twrp to start over.

That's exactly what's happening. Is there a combination of keys that could "unlock" the up and down keys? Or something else?
But if you are in download mode, cant you use odin to flash twrp 3.6 ?
Also if its because it ask you to press up to enter download mode, just press button below screen to get into download mode
Below is the screen where I'm stuck. Up, down, home keys are ineffective.
I'm note really familiar with Odin, but if I connect my phone in the state below and I open Odin, nothing is shown. But I guess it's normal as I'm not really in download mode.
Well like i wrote, if you press any button other than down it will go into download mode, even power button.
