No Recovery, No Download Mode

Screwed up a flash of build.prop
Originally I could access both Download Mode and Recovery but in the time I waited to download new Firmware to flash, I can't access either of them.
Holding Home+Vol Up+Pwer - Bootloops
Holding Home+Vol Down+Pwer - Bootloops
Letting boot shows the splash, makes bootsound with no graphic, lights the LED buttons and then Freezes
I was using the Stock Firmware from Optus.
Someone please help
EDIT: Fixed it, Anyone else who has a similar issue, I let it boot, and then it turned it's self off, once that happened I could access Download Mode again...Thank god

No, I only saw that screen once and the 3keys worked on it.
Sorry

meh... then it's not the same
that picture above, is the ultimately bricked screen.
and only the 3 button combo can save it, but if the phone have 3 button sequence disable, you are pretty much dead in the water.

Shut this ANDROID IS killing me with my s60v5 i8910 dont have any problems at all when flashing and i flashed arround 50 times

hELLO NO RECOVERY NO DOWNLOAD MODE
i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHAT CAN i DO? THE SAME SCREEN...

see the sticky topic about the home made JIG?
use that
then you can go back to flash a good ROM

[GUIDE] How to get into RECOVERY & Download Mode

I couldn't find any information about how to get into download mode using any method other than using ADB and thougth to myself, "There has to be a key combination" so I had a play around and there is.
DOWNLOAD MODE:
1) Power down the camera.
2) Whilst holding down the Shutter Button press an hold the power button.
You will then see the following screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then just follow the on screen instructions.
In fact, you can do it using the zoom rocker too.
Now, I have been trying to find a combo to get into recovery, I have got it to flash up, but not stay, so it has to be in there, just a case of figuring it out.
UPDATE:
I've figured it out!
To get into RECOVERY MODE:
Make sure the camera is off first.
1) Press the shutter button HALF WAY IN and keep it held in that position.
2) Press the power button until you see it turn on then let it go, but keep the shutter button in the half way position.
You will then enter Recovery.

I keep doing this accidentally, so it wasn't hard for me to find . Must be something about the way I'm holding the camera sometimes when powering up.

I've figured out the combination to get into recovery, first post updated.

nice.. have been trying to figure this out myself,,,

Thanks for this! I'm trying to help someone recover from a bad stock update and we could find the info anywhere on how to get to recovery mode.

Ok guys. I tried all your suggestions and none work. I will tell you which one does. Download quickboot from play store and it allows you to tap on option to go into recovery. Works like a charm. none of this other nonsense.

You actually need to hold longer and it will enter the mode you want.

Hello ,
camera samsung galaxy EK-GC 100 asks for update and does botloop.
I was loading CF-Root and it did not help.
Flash -Odin and Z3X didn't help.
Can you remove the update from the system and make a flash? e.g. reverse enginering. Regards Michał

I'm pretty sure there is a way to fully restore the tablet. For example, to open it up, get the sd card and format it and I'm pretty sure there will be a stock image

(( no, that did'nt help..

Try holding both volume buttons down at the same time, then press and hold power button. See if that will put you into the OEM recovery screen that may have the option to do a factory reset or flash a ROM from an external SD. Keep playing around with combinations of this procedure, it may be your best bet.

I tried with holding volume down, volume plus then power, ...then only volume plus then power button, and every possible way of pressing thorugh.. now after these..now it seems to be fully dead... Anywa when i connect to pc.. it makes a sound on pc.. like connected.. but when i type adb shell on cmnt promt.. it says..
-Exes/system/bin/sh not found ..or something like.that.....
Now what should i do....,:-s

what you have to do is hold vol up with power button ( you'll see a androbot lyieng down there) then just leave the buttons and again hold vol up button and then gently tap on power button (you should see a recovery console).

Have I Bricked My Phone?

Not sure what the deal is. I've had my OP6T bootloader unlocked since Day 1 and haven't had a single issue until this afternoon.
I noticed the other day there was a notification to install the newest version of Oxygen OS but DID NOT install it. After waking my device I noticed it randomly shut down and then upon restarting flashed to the boot screen but does not go any further.
After several hard/soft restarts (holding power button down as well as power button and volume down) does nothing!
At this point I'm just allowing the phone battery to drain so that I can attempt to boot into recovery. For reference this is the screen that is currently being displayed:

TIA
UPDATE: After a full battery drain and restart, I'm back in business. Was able to not only update Magisk but the OTA.
Cheers!

Which version of OS? Regular 6T (international) or TMobile? Did you have Magisk and TWRP installed?

Unplug it from the charger.
try holding power and volume up/down.

That picture isn't a 6T!

Device was not plugged in after shutting itself down.
Equally the image I used is ONLY for reference. Obviously cannot post a screen because I cannot use my phone :/

Just an update but was able to restart device successfully following a complete drain of the battery. Not sure what the deal was...

Most of us know what a fone screen looks like, so don't confuse the issue [emoji6]

Yes, it is.
I get the same screen whenever I boot up.

Been stuck on this screen for the last 6/7 hours. Pressing power plus volume down restarts the phone then rapidly goes into this screen and starts loading the update. After 100% it stays, nothing happens. The recovery menu never comes. Mine is SM-A205U Full Stock ROM

Restart the phone using volume down and the power button.
After the screen turns off but before it turns back on, let go of volume down and hold volume up instead along with your power button.
Either wipe your phone or format data from there. (Either option will leave you factory fresh in this case)
Unless you wanna use odin to push the update instead of relying on the inbuilt updater.
In which case you hold volume up and down along with the power button before using a computer to do your update.

So it should revert back to its original firmware?
Always wondered about this situation on unrooted phones. It can happen too easily with auto flashing.
