Hi! I accidentally went to download mode and this "downloading don't turn off target message" appeared. It took me at least 20 seconds before I finally pressed volume down + home button + power button. My phone seemed to have rebooted after I did this. Was any harm done? Did my phone download something? Kinda worried because I'm not sure if it damaged my phone or something. Thanks!
Nope. That screen on download mode appears whether or not you were downloading anything. Since you weren't downloading anything, it's fine.

My phone model is I9500
It was just rooted nothing else done worked well since 5-6 months
Then suddenly it went off and the caught up in a boot loop.
I am not able to also open up the recovery or the downloading mode as the phone restarts as soon as i enter the downloading mode.
What to do Help ? :/
Rooting your phone doesn't brick it.
You pressed the wrong volume key so your phone restarts when in download mode warning.
As you have a GT-I9500 i assume you have never updated it (pre-knox) so you should be able to flash it with any firmware by Odin3.
This sounds like a stuck volume button. Give the phone a sharp tap on a table and see if the automatic reboot stops. If it does one of the buttons on the motherboard is stuck and needs replacement.

Don't you mean his power button?
No, volume button. Reason being that it immediately reboots when he enters download mode, as if download mode were cancelled. With the power button, there would be a significant delay before rebooting.
Nevertheless, the buttons come in packs of three. Might as well replace them all.

Aha I understand
My phone wont start anymore it just goes to the att logo and freezes and i also wont go into recovery mode. The model number is SM-G935A.
Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge completely.
Boot into Galaxy S7 recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S7 screen flickers and you see a warning sign.
Press Volume Up to continue to the main screen of Recovery mode. Or, press Volume Down if you aren’t sure and want to go back to the normal mode.
You can also try from totally off, press volume up, home, and power.
Last, it sounds as if you recently tried to root?
If that is the case just get into recovery, I know sometimes it can be a pain to get there, and then factory reset in there and you should be back up and running.

It wont boot into recovery mode it just show recovery booting flashing in blue letters then it restarts regularly
If you do not know what you are doing best bet for you is to take it somewhere to get restored. Safest way is to take it to the Samsung reps inside a Bestbuy call ahead and explain the model so they can start downloading the correct firmware.
Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me?
I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?
Hello, some days ago my phone suddenly got black screen, the buttons light ON, it also vibrates, if i double press the home button it enter the camera because the shutter souns, led notification also lights, seems like everything work but the screen keeps black..
I tried sme of the method around the web:
Power button + volume down (FAILED)
Power button + volume up (FAILED)
Power button + volume down + Home (FAILED)
Power button + volume up + Home (FAILED)
Delete cache (FAILED)
Factory Reset (I THINK IT FAILED, IT WAS HARD TO ENTER TO RECOVERY AND SELECT FACTORY RESET SINCE THE SCREEN DOESNT TURN ON)

Fast fast try to return it before Trump wins . He will build the wall you know... Jk...
For my opinion LCD has to be changed. Due drop or in your pocked from high pressure i think its gone ...
Since as you said phone is working you can take pictures or receive calls but screen is always black.
Can you see its black color or screen isn't turning at all.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Mine started with green stripes allover the screen and few days later - "black screen"
Samsung change the whole unit.
But if lcd doesnt work so, it wont recognize when i press the screen, can it?
Anyone with this problem

S7 Edge BSoD Extra Info. needed
Hi,
Phone: I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935FD
I was using my phone to send a txt (and at the same time I think I was receiving a text or call because the menu and back touch buttons were lit up) and all of a sudden the phone crashed as I tried to finish my text but the touch wasnt responding, then the backlight turned of like it does if the phone is not being used. But the strange thing was that the menu and back touch buttons stayed lit up (Solid).
I tried many methods to restart the phone:
Power button + volume down (FAILED)
Power button + volume up (FAILED)
Power button + volume down + Home (FAILED)
Power button + volume up + Home (FAILED)
So I thought I'll let the battery die and then recharge and hopefully the phone would automatically restart like normal, however the phone does not show sign of charging now.
So I tried to connect to the PC but it wasn't being recognized however when I press and hold the power button a sound of detecting a device sounds and then when I take my finger off the sound of detaching occurs. But I couldn't see anything happening, until I went into device manager, under "Other Devices" , "Exynos8890" appears which I know is the chipset.
This is as much as I know of the problem. How do I solve thins problem without trying to factory reset the phone and lose all my data?
PS: I didn't backup my photos (My baby children only copies) or Notes in NotePad, which has some very important info.
Hello,
I've recently tried CF auto rooting my S7 edge, as I've rooted all my previous phones. I must of flashed the wrong ROM and am now stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" screen with the "powered by android" on the bottom. I'm unable to power off the phone, nor go into recovery mode (or any other mode for that matter). When holding down the Volume down + Power + Home button, the phone seems like it 'restarts'. The screen goes black but then it goes right back to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen. Is there anything I am able to do to restore the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
As the phone good black, release the home button, but keep holding the volume down and power. This should place you in download mode.

I've tried every possible button combination, nothing happens. I did manage to solve the issue, I let the phone die then as I plugged the phone into the charger and tried booting into recovery again it worked. No idea what that did, must of been a fluke.
