About download mode and recovery mode

I got my new galaxy s from Bell last week. I have read how i can go to download mode and recovery mode.
For recovery mode, i can go in and there is few option i can do. Normally i just bootup.
For download mode, i can go in also. But there is a yellow construction logo, and it didn't disappear. Is it normal? It was just saying downloading and do not turn off target forever. Then i have to turn it off by pressing power button for 5 seconds. And it will reboot to normal mode.
Do i get the bad version of i9000m? And my series number is end of 60xxxxx
Thanks you.

don't worry that is normal
the contrusction screen (download mode) is meant to be that way.
it is only used to flash the phone with new version of the ROMs
you got a good phone!

Thx a lot!!
Because i saw my series number is 60xxxxx...and it match the number the website mention.
Anyway, very happy with my new phone!

I got my SGS on the first day it launched, but Im a little nervous to test the recovery mode items (lack of experience with Android OS). I've looked, but was wondering could someone describe to me what the need (and difference) is between recovery mode and download mode?

check out the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
it can't be any more clear than that

Yes, don't worry. It don't damage the phone. Just press 3 buttons when you power off the phone.

[SOLVED] Tried to flash bootloader while no apx mode deteced

Hello,
I was trying to flash the Skrilax Bootloader with the backthund3r flashing utility and something goes wrong.
Now I have a black screen on my tablet, led on the flashing is stuck halfway.
I hope somebody could help me.
Here is what I have done exactly :
Plug the tablet.
Run blackthund3r A500APXFlash.exe
Enter SBK
Choose V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx
Choose the automatic method.
Click enter APX Mode --> black screen on the tablet / let on.
I have had a warning about a bad Acer driver, so I had to reinstal the driver using the link that was provided by the software.
AT THIS STEP I HAD TO UNPLUG THE TABLET TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE...I DID IT WITHOUT QUITING A500APXFlash
Once the drivers are installed I clicked "Try again" to got to the APX Mode.
I thought it was ok but because I had the black screen on my tablet but in fact the device was not connected "No APX mode detected", I guess I didnt focused on that...
What next is that I click next anyway and didnt cancel the flash.
Had the message box for the bootloader check, I clicked 'No' because the tablet didnt load into the bootloader.
Now backthund3r is stuck halfway and the tablet is not responding (blackscreen, led on).

Are you able to put the phone in download mode (vol- + Home +Power)?, If you do download ROM from any of the sources around and using Odin install the ROM. Do not checked the re-partition box in options. If you're not comfortable doing this or not sure do some reading on installing firmware using Odin.

SM-T580 Stuck in Installing System Update loop

Hi all,
My Wife's tablet seem to be stuck in somesort of system update loop.
I can't seem to put it into recovery mode using
HOME + Volume up + POWER
I can put the tablet in DOWNLOAD mode using HOME + Volume down + POWER, but my PC does not seem to detect the tablet
Using OdinV3 3,14 with the Samsung USB drivers installed.
Is the tablet a lost cause or can i try something else to fix it?
Here is a screenshot what i see on the screen for a brief moment before it reboots.

Thank you for your time!
=========== EDIT1:
So i was able to hook the tab to the PC using another cable i had lying arround, and i wanted to flash TWRP:
But reading the manual, it instruct me to enable OEM unluck in developer options. But this is something i cannot do because the device won't boot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666
What should i do?
=========================================
====Edit2
So I found me some firmware for my device from sammobile, I hope I can use Odin to flash this on the tablet
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2016/firmware/SM-T580/PHN/
=====
======EDIT3
So the flash process was stuck in hthe initialization phase for to long and I decided to unplug the device and try again. Now don't ask me why but this time the device automatically booted up in recovery mode and I was able to factory reset the device. It now boots up fine... Can someone explain what is going on? All seems fine now.
Kind regards,
Maniak
