[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.
It's GT-i9500
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.

Hey fulano, did you ever figure out what was wrong? I have the same problem.

Does the volume keys works normally on recovery ?

Any solution yet?
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.

[Q] Bootloop, cant get into fastboot

Hi
I rooted my nexus 10 some months ago. All worked fine until yesterday. I wanted to go back to original firmware and used the WUGs nexus root toolkit to download 4.4.3 version and flash it. But afterwards the tablet doesnt boot anymore. Google logo appears and then the circle thing never goes away. I searched many threads, and all base on going into fastboot and flash again, but thats the problem. I cant get into fastboot. The usual combination (Power and vol+ and vol-) doesnt work! I tried many other combinations with different timings, longer press only vol+ and power ...., I always get to google logo after it vibrates.
Is there any other way to get into the fastboot mode ?
Can I connect it to the computer and interrupt the boot process when I switch it on via the PC?
thanks in advance
regards
Erich

Try to connect it to PC with original usb cable and run "adb devices".
If you see Nexus device, you can try "adb reboot recovery" and upload a ROM to /sdcard with "adb push" for flash it.

Hi
Thanks for your relpy.
But thats the problem, even if I could upload a file with adb, which is not working, how would I flash it if I cant get into fastboot or recovery mode ???
thanks anyway
regards
Erich

I think what patzzz is saying is that it depends on your bootloop, often is the case that when someone is in a bootloop the kernel does initiate and adb is functional. Not always but at times for sure.
So if so you can attempt
adb reboot recovery
Or
adb reboot bootloader
If the above doesn't work than you will have to continue trying to boot to bootloader manually with key presses (which I believe is power on while holding volume down)
Best of luck!

Hi
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it doesnt work. It made a batch file which calls adb devices and adb reboot bootloader in a loop, so it can send it to the device if it is found, but the tablet isnt regonized, tried some reboots and no luck, adb cant find it )))-:

It seems a brick, but you can try using fastboot command instead of adb:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I suggest you do a factory reset from the stock. You have gone back to stock firmware so you should have stock recovery. I had this happen once and this work for me.

Hi
I will try it with fastboot too, maybe it works....
How can I do a factory reset without recovery mode ?
thanks

Erich

1.If your tablet is on, turn it off.
2.Press & hold the Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons at the same time for several seconds. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight Recovery mode.
4.Press the Power button to start Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation point and the words "No command."
5.While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.
6.Use the volume buttons to scroll to "Wipe data/factory reset," then press the Power button to select it.
7.Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data," then press the Power button to select it.

>>2.Press & hold the Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons at the same time for several seconds. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow drawn around it.
Thats the problem, it doesnt work! Tried it a dozent times, only Google logo appears.....

Possible soft brick or hardware failure?

I think my Z1 is really dead.
The phone is stuck on logo screen and gets very hot. The battery fails from full in less than 1 hour. No button combinations will work for reboots to recovery or fastboot and I cannot switch it off (Just reboots to logo screen every time)
I can ADB to the phone but not fastboot. If I adb reboot recovery I get a messed up corrupted screen with green vertical lines and flashing colours. Same for adb reboot bootloader (but only green vertical lines)
I searched around but no-one has this exact problem. I have tried QFIL but I can't get a port as adb reboot edl looks like it goes to the same corrupted screen and nothing happens
So is the phone dead or do you have any suggestions? Any help appreciated

Bro i recommend you to try pressing power button and both volume buttons at a time so you could go to recovery mode.If u try normal recovery process buttons at this time won't work.

Ok first thing try pressing both volume buttons and power button for 10 sec at a time. And as soon as the phone restarts leave the power button and press both the volume buttons after the vibration to go to recovery. If that doesnt work then use adb commands to restart it.

Finally had some time to look at this and amazingly that works (holding the 3 buttons). I thought I had tried every button combination going. Rebooting by adb didn't work either before. So thanks

Hardware button don't work in bootloader?

Hey guys. I just got LG G6 H870 model. Unlocked bootloader without much problems, but issues came later. While being in bootloader I can't do anything, hardware buttons seem to not work. The only way to get out of bootloader is to use "fastboot reboot" command, but that prevents me from getting into custom recovery after flashing it. Only entering download mode works (holding volume up and plugin in usb cable). Non other key combination work until I boot into system.
Can this issue be somehow resolved?

I had similar problem myself with entering recovery more and the reason behind it was that I didn't press the button combo in proper way. what you actually have to do is while you in fastboot mode you press down and hold power button and volume down button. phone reboots after a moment and you should still be holding these keys and when lg logo appears you let go of power button for brief second and then press it back again and then when a prompt on white screen appears just go yes two times and phone shall boot in recovery mode . I had watch a tutorial movie to figure that out. other easy way is just to have adb enabled and reboot it with adb reboot recovery command via USB cable

No, because I had G5 and I know the proper way to do that. Problem is I can hold the power button as long as I live and the phone won't reboot, regardless of pressed combination or power button solo.

and the adb command way ?

Well... Nevermind, turns out vol down button isn't working at all.

still good way around is adb reboot recovery

Huawei P9 Lite Bricked

Hello everyone. Huawei P9 Lite 2016. It doesn't go into Recovery, nor eRecovery and Fastboot also does not load, in general, not one combination of buttons does not work. I think the system is removed, what should I do? How do I achieve something myself?

Well, if your phone is unable to go into fastboot (hold volume- and plug it into a computer), I have some very bad news for you... What did you do??

Nothing at all.. It had very strong lags, I couldn't make anything, I restarted it delaying the power button for 10 seconds and so several times, and then made through the buttons hard reset, performed successfully, already turned on but still had so strong lags and now it isn't react at all, just a black screen and the red indicator is constantly on. I think that simply the system has been deleted and it is necessary to write down again, but how, the combination of buttons doesn't work at all

Yes, but the sense of that? It's necessary to work with buttons and not one combination of buttons doesn't work. Hisuite asks me to click on the power button and on the volume down button but nothing happens it doesn't go in Fastboot mode or in Recovery nor in eRecovery.

Yes. It makes nothing. Black screen and red indicator always.

Do you still have warranty on it? If you did not even unlock bootloader, then try to send it in for a warranty repair. Something on the motherboard must have gone bad..
