Hold the volume up AND down button down along with the power button till the vibrant screen flashes once. the let go of the power button but keep holding the volume up AND down button untill it goes to the download screen

I just spent the afternoon recovering my phone after the OTA update.
I was able to get into download mode using the following:
With the phone powered off hold BOTH volume keys while simultaneously plugging the USB cable(that is already attached to your pc) into the phone.
Worked every time for me. Hope this helps.

Hi I have tried that and other buttons combination for the past 30 mins and found nothing. I have read into that any vibrant from the batch in august have been disabled for the download mode, is this true?

Pull the battery out first.
plug in usb
hold up, down and power buttons
reinsert battery with free hand.

That's how it works for me.
If I hold the power button while doing the above I only go into recovery mode.

i'm starting to get worry because i tried everything and nothing is happening. it is as if my phone has disable the recovery mode.

The volume up/down button thing never worked for me either. For me, the only thing that works is adb (the android debug bridge). Download/install the samsung drivers, and the android SDK (see messages on this board for links & instructions).
On the phone go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check the USB Debugging box. Connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable, open a command prompt & type 'adb devices' w/out the quotes. You should get one listed device if you've done the above correctly. Then type 'adb reboot download' to put your phone into download mode.

[SOLVED] [Q] Rooting Grand 2 with broken power button?

I own Galaxy Grand 2 G7102, but it has partially broken touchscreen (menu and back button won't work anymore) and broken power button. Rooting requires go to recovery mode so power button needed and volume down and home button as well
So how I can rooting when power button broken (which it required for recovery mode access)?
While I find parts for my Grand 2, find some solution for me to make rooting without power button needed (I don't need "just replace the power button" topic)
Thanks
UPDATE: I've successfully go to recovery mode via ADB, but I was stuck and I can't select anything cause of broken power button. How I can escape from this before I bring them to repairment? Tried connecting USB while "recovery mode" won't work and it won't detect on my PC!
UPDATE 2: Problem solved. Had I bring them to service center to repair power button

Remotely keyboard? How? Using USB OTG?

Here’s how to enter Safe Mode on a Galaxy S10 smartphone:
Shut down your Galaxy S10 smartphone
Hold the Power button key and release it when the SAMSUNG logo appears on the display
Right afterward, press and hold the Volume Down button
Hold the Volume Down button until the device boots up, and the Safe Mode text appears in the bottom left corner

Put it in download mode. Hold bixby, volume up and power, plug in type c connector, and then usb to pc. You should be in download mode now

[GUIDE] Booting your OnePlus X with a broken power button

Got a broken power button and need to turn on your OnePlus X?
As long as one of your volume buttons and your microUSB port still work, you're lucky.
If the volume down button is working:
1. Press and hold the volume down button.
2. Connect to a USB power source.
3. The phone should vibrate and boot into the recovery. You can release the volume button at that point.
4. If you have the stock OnePlus recovery installed just tap "English", "Exit" (if present), then "Reboot".
5. Your phone should now boot up!
If only the volume up button is working, things get a bit tricky.
Before you start, read through all of the steps and the paragraph below to make sure this goes as smooth as possible.
1. Connect your device to a USB power source without pressing any button.
2. Wait for about half a second, then press and hold the volume up button.
3. If you've hit the right moment, your device will boot to fastboot mode.
4. Connect to a PC and run the command "fastboot reboot".
(If you don't know what fastboot is or you haven't set it up yet you should be able to find plenty of guides online.)
A word of caution on finding the right moment to hit the volume button:
Start with longer delays and work from there. If you hit the volume up button too early the phone will enter EDL mode, which can be hard or annoying to get out of. EDL is Qualcomm's low-level Emergency Download Mode which allows flashing the device.
When entering EDL mode the phone won't vibrate and the screen will stay off. The phone remains in EDL mode after disconnecting the USB plug.
Normally you could press and hold the power button until a hard reset to get out of there, but in this case you have the following options:
- Unplug the battery to power down the device completely if your device happens to be open.
- Wait? For as long as it takes for your device to reset from this mode on its own or for the battery to run out. idk, good luck.
- Use an EDL mode flashing tool on a PC to send the power reset command to your device. This could be viable if you have already used such a tool before, e.g. by following the "Mega UnBrick Guide" by Naman Bhalla. Alternatively you could dive into this cross platform command-line tool, which works on WIndows, Linux and macOS. Using this approach is a bit overkill and quite the tangent from what you're actually trying to do, but being able to make use of EDL can come in handy in other situations as well when you're tinkering with your Android device so taking that detour might just be worth the time.

Awesome, it worked for me.
-Incase you have entered into EDL mode, then continue charging your mobile, it will be back to old state after sometime (12 hours maybe).
- To get fastboot mode, first insert power cable then wait for vibration/ screen light illumination after that press volume up button. if you press volume up button before inserting power cable, then it will go to EDL mode, so be careful about it.

Root not working on One UI 3

Has anyone managed to boot into magisk mode on one ui 3? Power + bixby + vol up doesn't seem to be working anymore.. I also tried with the USB method but still no luck..

Recovery Mode UI 3.0
1. Turn off the device,
2. Connect the phone with a USB cable to the computer,
3. We wait until the screen showing the start of charging and the percentage of the battery appears,
4. Press the Volume + button and then the power button and hold both buttons until the device turns on -For older devices, such as Galaxy S10, it is required to hold the Volume +, Bixby and power buttons

I can enter recovery mode just fine, the problem is that I'm not being able to boot into root (magisk) mode anymore after the update. Vol up + bixby + power (and USB) is only taking me to recovery mode now.

So far TWRP doesn't support android 11. Maybe the next version will support it.

I'm in the exact situation. I think nobody understood the question. He wants to boot into MAGISK MODE (Root) which some time ago it was made by pressing vol + + bixby a couple of seconds then releasing both buttons at the same time.
Now with UI3 we are left with recovery using USB cable or normal mode but no MAGISK.
