[Q] Volume up button doesn't work in ODIN MODE

Hello, i'm trying to go to Download mode via ODIN but the Volume up button doesn't work so i cannot Continue to enter in. Also volume down is not working so it stayed frozen in the WARNING screen. The PC doesn't recognized the device.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4 yesterday in ORANGE - Dominican Republic.

Any idea to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Press the power button for about 10 seconds and the phone will reboot. Do you have usb debugging enabled on the phone?

Yes. I can reboot the phone and use it as normal. The problem is that i want to root it but i cannot use Volume UP in Odin Mode to Continue and join into Download Mode. Volume keys doesn't work in the mode. In normal use i can control the volume normally. And YES i have USB Debugging enabled.

Hi there, I'm facing same problem and googling I found this post.
Did anyone fix this?
I've already test buttons, even change them, also tried with other LCD module to test with other home button flex.
Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for replay.
Using adb shell from computer,
adb reboot download
adb reboot recovery
works fine, I've even flashed the phone more than once, but stilll gettin' this strage error that volume buttons don't work in download or odin mode; while in normal mode the buttons works perfect, even in recovery mode I can do wipe / factory reset without any problems.

Can you elaborate what you mean by locked?
When you try to go into recovery mode what does it do?
Are you pushing the right combination of keys with the device off hold volume up + home and power till it boots up and I believe there will be blue writing in the top. Then let go and it will boot into recovery.
For download mode hold volume down + home and power

I don't know , whenever i boot into download mode, same screen comes up!
If download mode should be accessible as stock recovery then I'll try again
Are you choosing to shut down from recovery, then starting up holding vol down, power and home key?

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.
