My S7 edge often dies suddenly and everytime I need to restart or wait until it is out of battery to restart it. However today, unlike usual I couldn't restart my phone after waiting it out of battery. I even tried to hold volume down + home + power constantly in order to access to download mode, but nothing happened except a black screen.
I wonder do we have any way to fix this problem? Can a jig usb fix this problem?

So, I've been trying to restore my phone after some modding gone bad...but now, I've gotten to the point where I can't even get to the green battery screen. My phone won't turn on, and it'll only display this screen with a phone icon connecting to a yellow triangle which is connecting to a computer.
Has anyone gotten this before?
More importantly, is this fixable? Or am I gonna have to file an insurance claim for a "phone that got dropped in a lake" this week?
Use the search option. It will do wonders. This has happened plenty of times before. ODIN can fix the problem.
1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)
2. Don't turn it the phone on!
3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen
IF the phone screen does show the battery charger or something else on the screen after being plugged in without you hitting the power button, so far so good.
5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up and volume down buttons.
6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.
7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But DON'T let go of the volume buttons!

The best luck i had getting my phone into download mode was pulling the battery, putting it back in. holding vol up+down and plugging it in. instead of going to charging, it goes to download immediately.
All messages related to "3 hardware key combo to get back to download mode so that you can use ODIN to restore", or "use adb to get to download mode so you can use ODIN" only work when the 3 hardware key combo work in the first place, or your PC can recognize the phone for adb to work
I am one of the unlucky one that does not have this 3 hardware key combo working, and am also in this sad state (Phone-!-PC). As a result, PC is not seeing the phone, so adb is out of the question right now
My phone has been like this since last Thursday (a failed attempt to use ODIN to flash JAC's OC/Ext4 kernel). All my reading so far does not give me a fuzzy feeling that I can ever get back to Download mode (ON MY PHONE)
I called my carrier for a replacement, and it should arrive this morning...
If someone can actually get to download mode WITHOUT the 3 hardware key combo OR adb access, I would love to know how
Had the EXACT same problem. Here is how I fixed it:

Glad that this work for you
But not for me, for some unknown reason

Bam! Phone-!-PC
Update: Got my replacement phone.
Have SIM in
Have SD Card in
Leave Battery in
Turn off Phone
Hold Volume up/down
plug USB cable to phone
plug USB cable to PC
Instant Download mode!
Just as I read, it's a luck of the draw whether you have a TMobile Vibrant that has the 3 button key combo disabled. My first one doesn't have it. My second one does
Dont know if any one is facing the same problem.
Installed Lollipop in my S4 over the air, 2 weeks ago.
A week back, my phone entered into BootLoop mode. Phone gets re-started. I can see Samsung logo and it gets restarted again. I tried removing the battery and kept it back. Started working fine then.
Since today after noon, my S4 is in complete boot loop. Tried removing the battery and kept it back. Yet it is in bootloop.
Unable to enter into Developer options also. Please help
I hit the Power Button against a Flat Surface. It Vibrates and shows the Samsung Logo. But then it turns off.
Is the battery empty maybe?
My guess is that your power button is faulty. Either try to wiggle it lose or replace it. It's really cheap
If it reboots in download mode and/or your recovery then it's your power button.

Hi! I managed to hard brick my galaxy s7 edge and i wanna see if someone here knows if its hard bricked or soft.
Got root and had renovate rom 2.0 ( n7 port) then i wiped my phone and flashed renovate 3.3 (s7 edge stock)
my phone worked fine on startup and i started to restore my old apps through gmail. i thought it would take a while so put my phone in my pocked and let it be fore about 20 minutes then when i took it up it was complete dead. i had about 67% before it died i tried everything (vol up down home all together) for at least 15+ sec. had it charge over the night ( i noticed that the phone didnt get warm or any leds shown) in the morning i tried everything again and nothing. when i connect my phone to my computer i hear the connect sound and then it disconnect a sec later. if i hold power button down and connect it ( and dont release power) my computer recognize it as onyx8890 and if i release powerbutton it disconnects. cant boot it in any way whatsoever. so what do you think? its only a week old thats the worst part of it!
I have left it to the store I bought it from for warrantable but its still rooted and have a rom on it. well if its complete dead they cant see if its rooted so thats one good thing.
still want to hear you opinion
sorry for bad english
so, from what I understand, u cant boot into any mode, are u even able to see something on screen? (logo, boot screen, etc.) U can try JIG (it somehow make any samsung device go to download mode). otherwise idk.
Hi guys, I have the same problem with my S7 Edge.
Can anyone help?
OK. So I managed to recover my phone.
The phone was dead because of a software crash(nothing on display, no LED light, power+vol. down for reset not working) and when connected to my PC - nothing (just a connect and after 1 sec. a disconnect sound).
But if I kept the power button pressed without letting go, my PC would detect the phone as exynos8890.
I tried to keep pressing the power+vol. down while connected to PC and I realized that the combo worked because after ~7 seconds the phone would disconnect and reconnect itself (but still as exynos8890).
But I tried a different approach. While connected to the PC I tried to keep on pressing power+vol. down. And I could hear that it disconnected and reconnected. But I did not let go of the buttons. And again a connect and disconnect. And again. And after literally 5 minutes of the buttons kept pressed down without letting go and countless reconnects there was finally a change. The disconnect sound was not heard after the connect sound. At that point I stopeed pressing the buttons and when I looked at the phone I could see that the battery icon appeared. Since the phone was connected to my PC, after 1 min. the battery started charging (it was charged 31%). And after that my phone booted fine.
wow
Hi I have just bought an s7 which turned out to be a Korean G930L but I cant get any response out if it apart from the 2 bottom leds and and the blue one. No response from trying to get into recovery or download mode, basically a black screen though it does vibrate on what i think is start up. It is found by pc and Odin and charges ok, I can tell as I can see properties on pc. But no other response. Is it possible that the previous owner tried to root it using non korean rom or TWRP? Any advice on how to fix either getting TWRP on or screen to light up. I am sorry for being so vague I have pulled it apart and checked all of the connections, screen, motherboard etc but nothing. Or chuck it out or put back on eBay. I tried your idea but it only booted once in that 5 minute period so I tried without it plugged in and rebooted several times but still no screen response.
So recently my SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE volume keys broke and now my battery just died and i can't get a new one. I want to recover my data but the only way to do that for me is to enter Download Mode. I'cant enter download mode because my phone wont start because it doesn't have a working battery, sometimes my pc recognizes it when i plug it in. Is there a way to enter Download mode without the phone buttons and without a battery, i tried Smasung 300k tool to force it to Download mode but it doesn't work. When i plug the phone to the pc the LED indicator is red meaning that is charging but i don't have a battery on it but when i try to power it on it shuts down.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Hello,
a friend of mine dropped his phone into water. However, I dried the phone as good as possible without opening it. Now when I start the phone it gets stucked at the Samsung Galaxy A40 secured by knox display. I let it for hours but nothing happens. When I restart the phone by holding volume down + power and after that I press power + volume up I can enter the recovery mode. Before I make any mistake I wanted to ask if I can get acces to the internal storage of the phone to get back the pictures and videos. May it help to wipe the cache? Or can I install any apk to get the phone connected to the computer?
Kind regards
Stefan from Germany

Has your phone screen cracked, leaving you unable to access your data? All is not lost! We'll show you various solutions on how to recover your data!
www.nextpit.com
This site shows the option to connect A40, if still Android 9.0, via usb hub to external screen and mouse and unlock. For Android >10 this doesn't work anymore
I have the same issue and neither usb-debugging on nor fastboot enabled. A40 doesn't show up in adb. So I also read when putting A40 via Power and Volume up into download/recovery mode, at least a backup of data should work.
My current idea is I have to replace display in repair shop or unlock via usb-hub + mouse.
Something I don't get right. How do you power off the A40 without screen to get safely the SIM card out? Power and volume down 7 sec, then release power off, then volume down? When I do this the A40 reboots with vibration. Power and volume up apparently reboots to recovery mode. Long pressing Power also doesn't turn off A40. Also in the A40 manual nothing is written on this
I'm having a similar, but worse problem: a friend of mine let her A40 fall into the toilet at a party. When she came back home, the phone wasn't working anymore and the battery was swoolen. We've tried to dry the phone with the good old bag of rice for a week, then I dissassembled it to take out the battery and see if there was any damage inside.
While there is no visible damage, the phone doesn't give any sign of life, not even with the usb cable plugged in.
So I have two questions: is the A40 supposed to boot without a battery plugged in, just using the USB cable as a power source? In the worst case, is there a way to recover the data from the phone if it's not possible to boot it (I bet the answer to the last question is no)?
