[Q] Can't boot into download mode/recovery mode

Hello,
For some reason, After unrooting my Galaxy S4 i9505 by supersu and resetting the brinary counter i can't seem to get to the download mode or the recovery mode. I tried holding Vol down + Home + Power button to go into download mode but instead it boots into OS, and same for the recovery. i also tried factory reset but the same result (btw in the factory reset my twrp recovery showed up to create partition etc.)
Can someone help me with this, Appreciate any help also i am new here

Thanks, its worked by adb but I can't go into the download mode or recovery mode by tapping those home+volup+power button.
Is there a way to fix that or i have to every time go to the download mode by adb ?

Download your stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com and flash it with odin,
after that flash philz touch recovery with odin too.

I don't have a direct solution but you don't need to press the Home button. Just holding Power and vol + or - also should do the trick.

Try this:
Hold VOL + Home + Power buttons until it vibrates
then let the power button go
and wait untill the android logo shows up.

[Grand Neo] how to enter download mode with broken home button?

Hi,
i have a grand neo and i have my home button broken.
As you know, to flash stock rom or recovery you need to enter download mode by pressing power + home + volume up buttons together...
I tried "adb reboot download" but it didn't work, it just reboot normally...
Is there any other way to do it? Can i flash using adb instead of odin?

Hopefully it's work.:good::good:

[General Info] Entering recovery mode on the Redmi 3S

If you flashed the twrp recovery image from http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/ and cant boot into the recovery using vol down + power ( which is basically fastboot ) or the volume + up ( which is just booting into rom )
To boot into your TWRP Recovery or any other recovery that you've installed
1) Power off your phone ( Don't have any cable connected to it )
2) Volume up + Volume down + power button and hold
3) When you see the Mi Logo appear , Let go of ONLY the power button
4) If you've successfully flashed the twrp image on the recovery, you should be entering twrp mode now.
5) Disable dm-verify from advanced settings.
You're done :good::good::good:
The only reason i made this post was for all the android phones i've used, volume down+power button meant going into recovery mode, and not fastboot mode. this was the first phone with different key mechanics and I thought you guys should know as well
TL;DR? Volume up + volume down + power = Recovery
Volume down + power = Fastboot mode always
Volume up + power / Power button = Normal boot

Great information ??

Your method works not every time. From time to time its different.
Here is what for me works.
WITH OPEN BOOTLOADER
I flashed TWRP with Fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
>>>directly after flashing<<<
1.) Push Vol+ and Vol- and Power at the same time
2.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
3.) With a little bit luck you are now entering TWRP
4.) If not, do not release Vol+ and Vol-, the Devicescreen went totally black
5.) Do not release Vol+ and Vol- and push now the Power Button
6.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
7.) Then TWRP starts (for me)
8.) A few times i landed into the chinese menue, then push the recovery button, with a little bit luck you arrive TWRP
9.) If nothing helps, and the device starts normally, imho the process changes twrp back into the original recovery -- then flash twrp again and start from Point 1.)
NOTE!! If you enter TWRP the first time go to Advanced Settings and tap on --Disable DM-Verify-- .
After i disabled DM-Verify and flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom the above worked for me without every time flashing twrp.
I worked 6 hours at this workaround

Glad buddy

Thanks, OP.
Just would like to confirm that disabling DM-Verify option does not make the phone go into Recovery/Bootloader mode via Advanced Power Options menu while the phone is ON.

If you can’t laod into download mode, ur toast. But I think you can,a sun you are just confused.
Power device completely off, wait a minute or two
Hold both Volume + and - buttons, do NOT press Power
While holding Volume buttons, plug in USB cable connected to your PC
Device should start in download mode.
