Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge not booting to download mode. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, i'm trying to boot into odin mode or even to recovery mode to flash the firmware as i keep getting an error "Android Keyboard AOSW has stopped working" , but when i try to go into recovery mode with volume up + home + power button, it does not give any options and restarts automatically.
i tried to put phone into download mode to flash it with stock firmware, but it isn't booting into download mode (volume down + home + power button), when i try to boot into download mode, phone turn on automatically, not going into download mode to flash firmware..
any idea or solution to put phone into download mode??

Hold power and volume down and when it blackscreens immediately hold power and home and volume down that'll get you to download

It WILL go into download mode sometimes it takes multiple tries. When I say multiple I mean more than 3 you must keep working the buttons.
Your phone isn't bricked

When I said multiple I'm not talking about 3 or 7 times I've had to keep working the buttons for a half hour a friend of mine two hours or more.
Hold Power button and volume down and immediately at black screen hold Power and home and Volume down
Keep working the buttons
Its very stubborn and frustrating

Is Android Keyboard Aosw(?) preinstall stock keyboard?
If yes then I'm afraid your device might be not a genuine S7 but a clone.
And that will answer why you can't enter recovery or download mode with this method.
Since stock keyboard on S7 is called "Samsung keyboard".

Be sure oem unlock and usb debugging is enabled, obviously no, you know that. Power on pc, run odin and connect the phone to the cable and try. already you tried?
your installed cyanogen on the phone?
never happened to me and it is very rare

I agree. Booting into odin is ridiculously easy.
At any time You can hold:
Home+vol down+ power
And from any kind of screen it will boot into ODIN mode.
So if that doesn't work then Your device is most probably just a clone.

Okay, this has happened to me as well. Pissed me off, best thing to tell you is. You have you phone, turn it off for a couple of seconds. Position your fingers in the Vol Down + Power and hold the middle down, try holding on the right side of the middle button. It should work, I would say if it doesn't. Once it has restarted, turn it off and give it a second and try again.

Is the phone connected to a charger or computer? I've had problems with multiple phones refusing to boot into recovery while charging.

Hi, I think your right, I bought this online saying its a version from South Korea. Do you know how we can fix it?or if you have other options that would fix it?

All android phones even clones have Android Recovery.
Try this:
Turn off Your phone and press and hold VOLUME UP and then Power, when Your phone turns on (boot logo) keep holding volume up but let go of power button.
If that doesn't work then hold volume down and do the same thing as above.
Now when You hopefully booted up recovery mode, use volume buttons to go down to factory reset, press power button to confirm and then wait until You'll see something like "Factory reset complete" .
Most clones have fastboot/mtk based bootloaders so holding volume button and power button without home button should work.

I just did that and what showed is the android robot icon lying down with a red exclamation point on it and stays there and does nothing...

That's good. Now You should press either one of volume buttons or power button (just a single short press) and recovery menu should show up. And there You should choose factory reset.

Brick Scare: Can't Access Recovery From Hardware - Only From Software

So I have this strange issue. I just tried shutting my tablet down so I can reboot to recovery to flash something. (Mind you, I haven't flashed anything in a few days)
So I shutdown and I can't access recovery. It just wont boot. Vol+, Vol- and Power at the same time. I tried going power first, then volume and vice versa but no dice. My volume buttons and power button work perfectly fine while in the ROM.
Now at this point I was like, "Screw it, I'll boot into the ROM" but no.... It wouldn't even turn on. I tried plugging it in and nothing (~70% battery when shutting it off). Then I plugged it into my computer and it showed "Device driver software was not successfully installed" with a device named "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
Quick Google-ing made me think I bricked the device. I ended up just holding on the power button for a good minute and it finally booted into the ROM. I'm still unable to boot into recovery via Power + Volume Buttons... I have to use an app to boot me into it.
Why? What happened / is happening?
I'm not sure with the N7, but with my SGS III that's what happened when it bricked.

Yeah... very strange. I'm able to get into the bootloader without a problem... only through an app.
Can you attempt to reflash your recovery?

Could you double check you are pressing the right buttons based on these instructions:
[Info] Guide to entering safe mode, bootloader, stock recovery
You are NOT supposed to press 3 buttons, Vol+ and Vol- and Power as you described, rather just 2 buttons depending on whether you want recovery or bootloader.

Well now I feel like a total dimwit.
I guess I was so used to my Galaxy Nexus... I did a Google search on how to access the N7 recovery but I guess I glanced over the instructions too quickly.
This thread can be locked, lol.
BTW sorry, I fixed the link.

Need help! S4 can't go in recovery

Hello! When I power the device on the Samsung Logo appears for 1 second and then it turns off. I can go in download mode but can't in recovery. It just flashes again the Samsung logo and turns off. I tried to flash stock firmware via Odin. It was a success but again the same thing happened. Did I brick the device? Thanks!
When you flashed recovery, did you uncheck auto reboot and boot into stock recovery to perform a factory wipe before booting for the first time?
Does the rom boot?

The actual way to enter recovery is.
Volume up+home+power button
As soon as you see the Samsung logo..leave the combo then within a jiffy press the volume up+home button (no power button...NO POWER BUTTON!!!)
You will enter recovery.

the far simpler method is boot off, then hold volume up and power together (nothing else) until you see blue text at the top of the screen. at this point you instantly want to let go of everything, and that's it...
I've bricked my phone before with mobile Odin and it took out my recovery so I guess it's possible the OP might not actually have one.
@3mel, the stock rom combo is vol up + home + power button.
What you are reffering to is the custom rom combo. For some reason they are different.

Stuck at boot screen

Recently tried to flash a new bootloader and modem in my S7 Edge through Odin, but now the screen is stuck in the Powered By Android initial boot screen. I cannot turn it off by using the power button, the only thing that works is if I press the power button + volume down, however that does not take me to the Download Mode but instead just restarts the phone and back into the Powered By Android screen. Volume Up + Power does not seem to be working.
Am getting desperate now, please help!

Managed to fix it
What I did was keep holding volume down + menu button + power without letting go. It rebooted into the Powered by Android many times but after about 3-5 minutes of holding it straight it finally sent me to the download mode where I was able to install stock S7 Rom.

Phone stuck at bootloader exception

Hello, for some reason my phone got stuck in the bootloader exception. I know I could potentially fix this through odin but I have quite the problem. I use a chromebook! Also Odin is a windows app so I was wondering if there are any other options for me to try to fix my phone?
trying to get into recovery mode/download mode fails as well. Only thing I could do is turn it off briefly (volume down + menu + power) then it goes back into bootloader.
Cant send it in back cause I bought it from a different country. (will visit that country soon but I need to get this phone working for travel/communication purposes)
Are you sure you can't get into Download mode?
I had this problem and it was hard to fix, but after holding -Vol, Home, and Power, after about 8 reboots it worked and I fixed it with odin.
Hold, keep holding these buttons until Download Mode appears.

Power/home/volume up is the combination for recovery, not download. Try again with volume down.

Are you sure you are flashing the correct firmware? Download the latest one and try again.
Honestly it could just be a busted battery instead causing this issue, had this happen before for a client on a s6.
If you already tried flashing SM-G935FD firmware with CSC file which makes the phone automatically do a wipe data / factory reset in recovery mode then you probably have an hardware issue instead.

I think so. After a night powered on (since i couldn't turn it off) i plugged the wall charger and the blue installing system update screen appeared and the phone soon rebooted after ten times like these the blue screen disappeared. How can i check the battery life to decide if it is the responsable? I've measured the absorption of the phone with his stock charger, it is 0.49 ampere does it mean something?
