Alright guys, back in Feb I soft bricked my note 4 and resolved the issue (link)
Now I'm wanting to sell my phone as I've upgraded by putting the stock firmware on it. When I try and put the stock firmware on with Odin it always fails and then won't boot into the OS, I can then use all samsung recovery to get it to boot back up into the OS but it's as if nothing has changed.
I cannot access recovery mode by holding vol up, home and power, it quickly has some writing at the top and then goes straight into download mode without asking for the up vol to confirm, and has this text at the top:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
I can access download mode normally with vol down, home and power and doesn't say the "Could not do normal boot", and if I just turn it on like normal it will boot into the OS that is NOT root.
Any help on how to get the recovery mode back? Or how to get the phone back to completely stock.
Many thanks!

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 updated TWRP to 3.1.1.2 inside TWRP. The issue I encounter now is that my S8 stucks on the very first booting screen. You know the very first screen where it stated "Samsung Galaxy S8" and down below "powered by android".
I can't do anything. It's just like the phone has frozen at that state. Nothing works anymore. Even If I try to turn it off by pressing Volume down + Bixby + power button, it just restart and get stucks at the boot screen again and again. There's NO boot loop.
I'm on europe version of the Galaxy S8
stock rom and rooted (Magisk)
Got TWRP installed but after updating TWRP the phone freeze at the very first booting screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for your efforts!
First of all - make sure you have the correct TWRP for your device. I know for myself that by searching google I got the S8+ twrp at first and flashed it by mistake without noticing.
Then try this-
Connect your device to a power socket (pc or wall, doesn't matter)
When you are on the very first screen, turn off the device by pressing Power + Volume down. Your device will shut down and you will see the charging animation.
Once you see it, disconnect the device from the USB and try one of the following:
Power + Volume up + Bixby for recovery mode
or
Power +Volume down + Bixby for download mode
I think the download mode will work, then just flash a stock rom or the correct recovery and try again
I failed right at the second step. Once I connect my S8 to power socket and tried to turn of the device by pressing Volume down + Power, the device turnt off for about 2 seconds and then reboot again to the very first screen. Even if my S8 is on power socket, I do not see the charging animation. So that is why I cannot continue with step 3.
Any Ideas buddy?
EDIT:
I got it enter the download mode
I downloaded the TWRP img from here https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/
After enter the download mode, I flash TWRP via odin. It passed via Odin but my S8 doesn't enter TWRP but instead stuck at the very first boot screen.
Any ideas, buddy?
EDIT:
I've solved it myself. Thanks for your efforts!
I got the exact same problem but how did u do it please help me
Hi I just got the exact same problem as you but I cannot get how I would fix it please help???
Edit: I got it to download mode but I do nut understand how I would flash it
The only way around this I found was to Odin back to stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444
Then follow the instructions to reinstall twrp using odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-s8-exynos-t3847712/post77735501#post77735501
Hi, my phone is currently keeping on restarting to the samsung galaxy s8 logo, and then shuts off after a few seconds and then it boots back up again. it goes in a loop. it can go into download mode, tried using odin, boot was successful, but it didnt pass the icon still. Cannot go into recovery mode since there is no way shutting the phone off, vol. up +bixby+ home does not work.
XAA version
I am stuck as well on a bootloop. Tried everything but I cannot get back into Recovery (TWRP).
I can get into download mode but if I try to flash anything with Odin it "fails".
I would appreciate any help....
PM me maybe i could you guys help
try this
connect to charger and press volumne down + power button, phone will go off and you can see the charging screen.
now vol up + power + bixby - it will go into recovery mode and you have to wipe data to make ur phone work. since it won't work with wipe cache.
good luck mate.
Hello! Here is my story:
I had a rooted stock os where i just changed the boot anim and everything was fine. I rebooted my device yesterday , the boot anim was fine etc. until today. When i rebooted my phone today , it booted into download mode with no reason. I didnt do any crap on it and it was fine until today. When i was in download mode i remembered i had a custom rom on my sd card so i wanted to flash twrp. I flashed it without factory reset and it didnt work. Now im stuck in a boot loop and i tried entering recovery but doesnt work.
Ok so i saw you can enter download mode with some key combo but u need the home button which this phone doesnt have (on screen controls).
Is there a way i can go in download mode and flash stock firmware with odin or unbrick the phone?
Enter Download Mode : Turn Power Off. Press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key, When Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until Android Recovery Mode Appears.
I managed to find this method a long time ago so its fixed. Thanks for responding doe.
Hey guys, yesterday I tried to reset my phone and lock the boot loader because I was going to sell my phone but I got stuck on (ODIN MODE : AVB Fail ) screen. and no matter what key combinations I use the phone goes back to the same screen and wouldn't let me go into recovery or so.
I saw online that some said to flash the official ROM in ODIN and it will get back to working again but my laptop doesn't recognise my phone when I plug it in
Please help me if someone knows a fix for this.
I use a MacBook Pro M1 if anyone is wondering
I have S10 stuck at Download mode as well (though of a different reason).
For me at least putting into recovery mode works like this:
turn off the phone
(it automatically goes to download mode)
plugin the phone to the PC (this step might even be optional; but is required for me for some reason)
cancel Download Mode with keys as instructed on the screen:
Volume Down + Power (more than 7 secs)
IMMEDIATELY after try to put the phone into recovery mode:
hold Volume Up + Bixby + Power
Then from recovery you might be able to do smth
