Can't get into Download mode.

Hi guys i have an SM-N9005. The phone is from a plan Vodafone Australia.
I want to root my device the steps seem easy and simple enough.
However I cannot get into the "download mode"
whenever I do the 3 button step.
All that appears is the "android sytem recovery <3e>
it didnt prompt me to press Volume Up to continue.
Proper samsung drivers are installed but since it can't get into download mode.
ODIN on my PC is not detecting the phone.
Any ideas?

The three button steps consist of either Volume UP or Volume DOWN - try switching - both go to different modes, off the top of my head and the fact I'm not long out of bed I can't recall which is which

Download mode = Volume down, menu and power button.
Recovery mode = Volume up, menu and power button.
You have gone into recovery mode...

worked like a charm! Thank you. Wonder why in all videos and guides they say volume up.

samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n900
i can't really get into download mode with my samsung galaxy note 3 though it will accept the 3 buttons press, but when it pop-up with
1.) press up to enter download mode
2.) press down to cancel
that's the point where even if i press up several times, it will never go into download mode so that odin can recognize it. And the volume keys are working perfectly.
Please how can i go about this issue????

Some xposed modules such as wanam, xblast have 4 way reboot option(reboot, hot reboot, recovery mode, download mode). Try with them to get into download mode.

Let me be more clear about my issue, the phone was working even after I root it and I am running lollipop OS (v5.0). I downloaded TWRP from playstore, it requested for updating which I did and on rebooting the phone, that's when the problem started. If I on the phone, it will just show Samsung galaxy note 3 SM-N900 and that's all. Please help me as entering download mode seems impossible as my volume buttons stop working whenever I am to press up to enter download mode or press down to cancel.
Help!!!!!

If you're running with stock rom, then impossible to use xposed.
As i mentioned earlier there is xposed module to make it entering download mode.
If i were you i'll flash twrp with terminal emulator, then flash a custom rom. From there no need to use combo button anymore. If it work, you can back to official firmware by odin.

[Q] my tmobile g2 is hardbriked :( help me

such friends have a big problem with my G2 I want meti up the volume on the stock rom kit kat and so we change the audio xml file I saw in a tutorial here in HTCMania, but restarting the phone will stay locked in bootloop where it says tmobile.
then proceeded to do hard reset thinking that would be solved well but after performing hard reset STAYING was still locked.
well I'll have to reinstall the software and told me when I headed to want to put the phone in download mode (off the phone and press Vol + connect usb cable) to my surprise the phone did not enter the download mode. the only thing it does is connect the cable to charge on and get off.
and since then I can not find a way to revive him because I can not install the software, and "NO I HAVE INSTALLED A CUSTOM RECOVERY" so do not'm desperate someone could throw me a light? if somehow you could do enter download mode on the phone in an alternative way?
my device is a rooted

First i would try getting in to recovery using the hardware keys. Look it up on you tube. Then you should be able to use a back up if you made one.
To get in download mode you need to power off then while powering on hold the vol down key and plug in the usb cable. That will get you in download mode. You shouldn't have to do that though if you have a back up. Your phone isnt bricked?

sorry friend, but is that as explained in the previous post: long press volume + but does not go into download mode, this as locked or not happens.: Llanto:

Jesus Christ.
Press and hold power and volume down until the display shuts off and the LG logo appears. Then, try pressing and holding volume up and volume down until a hard reset option appears. Reset the device and try booting it up. You will lose all data on it, but that's what you get if you're not smart enough to back it all up.

A hard reset will not help if he made changes to the system partition (which it sound like he did). If he has a recovery installed (kind of a weird sentence in the OP) this would take him into the custom recovery though.
@tuberodx7 If all else fails I'm convinced you can get it into download mode if you do it right, something like that should definitely not kill that. From there you can flash a factory image (Search for the return to stock thread in the General forum)... Your device is far from hardbricked, please do your research...

THis is general thread. Post it at Q/A.

Ok, if you're absolutely definitely positively sure you're doing it right and it still doesn't work, you might have to manually reflash some of the partitions... Refer to this thread (and be careful) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

[Q] Problem with download mode (N900)

Hello guys.
So I just flashed the russian Lollipop firmware that came out for the N900 into my device. I followed all the procedure to the letter (I am really cautious and it's not the first time I've flashed stuff); went to download mode, connected my Note to the cable, added the MD5 to Odin and started flashing. The procedure finished and the phone restarted, but I got a black screen after the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen you get when you start the phone, but that wasn't really the problem since I read that a lot of people got that black screen and solved it by flashing the firmware again. My problem is when I go to download mode (power off the phone then volume down + power + home) I get the "Warning!!" confirmation screen, and then I press Volume up to continue, nothing happens!! Even when I press Volume down (which should get out of download mode and restart the device) nothing happens!
In case you're wondering, I can get with no problem into recovery mode.
Is there a way I can fix this and get into download mode? Maybe a way to get directly into download mode without the confirmation screen (I did read somewhere that holding volume up + volume down while turned off and then connecting the cable to the phone should get it directly into download mode, but that apparently doesn't work for me)
Help would be much appreciated, and sorry for the bad english.

A3 2016 bricked

Hello,
I bricked my A3 2016 a3exelte while updating TWRP to 3.7.0_9-0.
The phone boots but gets stuck on the very first screen (the one with "Samsung Galaxy A36 powered by android").
I can boot into Download mode but the volume up and down keys don't respond (it's been like that for a while, even before the phone was bricked), so I can't get into Download mode.
Any suggestions to get it back to life?

Hi, not sure i understand, you can boot into download mode, but you cant use up and down keys?
To get into download mode you have to use the down key atleast?
Because i had the exact same problem as you, twrp 3.7.0_9-0 also bricked my phone.
but i used XDA version of odin and another TWRP version to get into twrp to start over.

That's exactly what's happening. Is there a combination of keys that could "unlock" the up and down keys? Or something else?

But if you are in download mode, cant you use odin to flash twrp 3.6 ?
Also if its because it ask you to press up to enter download mode, just press button below screen to get into download mode

Below is the screen where I'm stuck. Up, down, home keys are ineffective.
I'm note really familiar with Odin, but if I connect my phone in the state below and I open Odin, nothing is shown. But I guess it's normal as I'm not really in download mode.

Well like i wrote, if you press any button other than down it will go into download mode, even power button.
