Reboot / Reset button? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I am stuck with chainfire liveboot.
Any way to go to recovery while the phone is on? Previously I can just press and hold the power button and it will reboot and I can quickly press bixby and volume up.
But with liveboot running, it does not work anymore.
Any other way for me to enter recovery?
Using ADB form PC also does not work because I think need to press some button on phone to accept the permission, and while liveboot is running, nothing else can be seen.

[Q] Recovery boot loop Help!!!

Hi,
I have a recovery bootloop and i cant get it into download mode nor can i restart into system.
I have taken the battery out for 24 hours and still when i switch it on it just boot loops in recovery
Please help! What can i do to fix it ?
Take battery out, put it back in but don't press power on.
Instead, press Vol Down + Power + Home buttons all at the same time until something comes up on screen, then press Vol Up, to go to download mode.

How to Enter Bootloader/Recovery

To enter the bootloader: with the phone off hold volume down and press power. Use the volume rocker to scroll through the options
To enter Recovery: Once in the bootloader screen use the volume rocker to bring up the Recovery Mode option and press the power button. This gets you to the dead Andy with the red triangle. Now press volume up and you should have the stock Android recovery.
I'm guessing the bootloader is locked? :X

Once at dead Andy, I (at least) had to press power and vol up to get to stock recovery. Vol up alone did nothing.

This has been happening to me too. Vol up and Andy just lays there, red triangle in hand, laughing at me.
EDIT: Nevermind............ I was missing the point. All good now.
Weird. I'm not able to get past the dead android.
I get into the bootloader fine, can select Recovery Mode, phone reboots and I get the dead Andy with "No command".
Tried pushing vol up... nothing. Tried pushing power and vol up... nothing.
I'm just trying to wipe the cache partition... which I've done before... but can't get past the dead guy.

in the dead andy screen press vol up + power for 4 seconds. if nothing happens try again, is a little tricky.
I have found that mine seems to work better if I hold the vol up for a second BEFORE I press power. Hold vol for a second then continue to hold it while you push power and let both go. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks guys, I'm in.
Man... that's a fine line between holding the buttons long enough to get into recovery, and holding them too long so as to shut your phone off!
X_man, that trick of holding vol up first before pressing power did actually seem to make it easier.

No prob. Glad to help. I myself actually restarted a couple times by accident before I figured out you can hold the vol first. lol
You should only need to tap power while holding the volume Up button.
1. At the bootloader screen, select Recovery mode.
2. Wait for the dead Andy.
3. Press and hold volume Up.
4. Tap power and release (still pressing volume Up).
5. Recovery should show in a second or less.
€DIT: deleted, here was crap
Correction!

@Moondroid, I tried what you suggested many times, but to no avail. Finally I figured out that you had steps 3 and 4 in the wrong order! So for anyone that's still trying to figure this out, press and hold power button, then tap volume up button and release .

Update 2.0.2 killing opened apps disappear

With 2.0.2 I can see all open apps by pressing square button. But I have to close 1 by 1. With 2.0 and 2.0.1 I could close all in 1 time by pressing cross button... Any solutions because with 4 gb ram the phone keeps a lot of open apps in memory.
But isn't that the point, keep apps in ram so it helps performance, drop them when more ram is needed. I would have the ram full all the time as long as it performs perfectly.

Enable google app & you could see a cross button
me too. same concern. Google ia enabled already on app managemnt

1. Power down the OnePlus
2. Hold the power down button until Android starts to boot up
3. As soon as Android starts booting up let go of the power button
4. Then immediately start holding both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons
5. Continue holding both Volume buttons until it boots into the OS
Once it fully boots up just reboot the phone as normal. No need to do anything else.
:thumbup:
It worked thanks a lot!
Nice one.
Didn't work for me
I rebooted into Safe Mode but the close all recent app option still doesn't appear. I have the Google app uninstalled, do I need to install it for this option to show up?
Yeah I would try that
no luck yet
Installed Google app, restarted in Safe Mode and still no close recent apps option.

I have already booted in Safe Mode and rebooted the device. Still doesn't work.
Maybe try and reflash the OS and see if that fixes it.

Stock recovery XT1642

Does anyone have a working stock recovery for the XT1642. Everthing i find and flash gives an error (file not signed or corrupted) literally everything gives me this. I now get the "no command" error when i open the recovery from the bootloader. I'm looking for one cuz i just got the nougat update but i cant update with twrp or a broken "no command" recovery.
Can anyone help?
As long as your recovery flashes with OKAY at the end of your command, the recovery should be flashed. Reboot into recovery to ensure it's not overwritten.
With the no command in recovery, press the power button, and whilst holding the power button also press the volume up button, then release the volume up button and then the power button. After a few seconds of pressing that combination, you should enter the recovery options with 'Apply update via SD card', 'wipe cache' and other menu items.
Hopefully you'll be able to install your update - in the event you get an error 7, you may have to re-flash Marshmallow or flash the fastboot Nougat ROM. Good luck either way

To piggyback on this reply, it can take a little practice to press both buttons correctly and get this to work. Or maybe it's just me

When I do this it just boots to system. Maybe I didn't press the volume button good enough??

It's possible, as Mistersteve posted and I concur, the key combo takes some time to get used to, also, I recall the top option when you get into recovery is 'reboot to system', so that might have been accidentally pressed. Thanks google....
All I can suggest is be a bit slow with the key presses, I think the key combo last time took about 5 seconds. It's fiddly, though hopefully you'll get there!

Okay, starting from the top: (credit to the steps listed in the Motorola support document: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/105537/p/30,6720,9390)
1) With your device powered off, hold both the power button and the volume down key until the device powers on, then release.
2)This will boot your device into the bootloader/fastboot mode. Use the volume keys to select Recovery. Press the power key to boot.
3)At the No command screen, hold the power key and then press, then release the volume up key, then release the power key. You should then be at the recovery menu screen. This step might take a few tries.
You may choose to skip steps 1 and 2 via adb, so whilst your device is powered on and booted, plug your device into your computer (checking that USB Debugging is enabled), and in the adb terminal execute the command 'adb reboot recovery'.

It did work, sadly the update failed anyway. I thought fixing the recovery would make the update work but no.

2. press and hold volume down and power button.
3. then release power button and keep pressing volume down.
4. now i'm into recovery
Now i stuck into dowload mode with this method.
Is there a way without using adb?
Thanks a lot.

Power off your device
Connect your device to charger
When you see battery charging animation
Press and hold volume up and power key together
Release power key only not volume up key when you see android logo
After few seconds you will be booted to recovery but wil no command user interface
Dont panic
Hit volume up+power key+home button(fingerprint senser) together for once
You will get the recovery
Tip: dont use any sideloaded into recovery, this will brick your device
Nokia doesn't support sideloaded process
Hit thanks button if you find this useful
Happy flashing
Thank you very very much!!! This method works perfectly!
Thank you! The method also works for me.
Thanks it worked for Nokia 6 TA-1033 !
