Push the Volume Up key followed by the Power button to enter into the HTC Recovery.

Did you untick auto-reboot ?
If you did, your gear wont automatically reboot once the flash has finished.. once you confirm the flash has completed, simply manually reboot your gear into recovery mode & you will be welcomed by the TWRP logo.
The whole point of unticking the "auto-reboot" option is so it doesn't boot back into the android OS, otherwise the recovery will be overwritten with the default one.. I repeat you must manually reboot your gear into recovery mode by holding down the power button.

This is normal. Hold power and press volume up once when that screen appears to enter recovery.

Ahh good to know. I had no idea it was normal as I've never seen the nexus 6 stock recovery screen. I expected to see an android guy on his back but not the red exclamation point in the box. Thank you again!

Stuck in Kernel Panic Upload Mode

I tried flashing the latest firmware with Oden and it failed, when I disconnected the phone and tried to put it back into download mode it comes up with 2 lines of small text in top left of screen then screen goes blank for a few seconeds then comes up with a list of stuff in blue red and green text with a little android in the middle of the screen with Kernal Panic
Upload Mode to the right of the andriod.
I can not turn the note 9 off, or figure out how to get back into recovery mode or download mode now. and the battery was nearly full when this happened , when the screen goes blank again after a few minutes the led flashes, if I press any of the volume keys or the power button the screen comes back on for a few minutes and while the screen is displaying the message the LED doesnt blink, then two minutes or so the screen times out and LED blinks again.
if I hold the btton down to try and go into recovery mode it reboots after about 10 seconds, shows the normal Samsung boot screen then displays the 2 lines of text at the same time which are in pink, then goes to the error screen I mention above
PLEASE HELP
Is going to take forever for this battery to drain and the unit shut off so I can try to boot into recovery or download mode...
HUGE thanks in advance
Hi! I got this problem too!
I was following guideline in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/guide-change-note-9-csc-easy-guide-t3879473
I was following the procedure, but in very last step while flashing new firmware something happened to ODIN, it failed to flash it. I tried to restart the phone, but it entered KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE. I was trying to get of this, but I was only able to enter recovery mode which didn't work properly either. It was indefinitely looping between installing update screen and other screen with error messages.
If I try to Volume down power for some time, I get POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE.
So, no way out to get into download mode again.
Hi ckhaustralia, did you end up getting some help or an answer about the kernel panic mode issue with uour Note 9 problem you listed above? I have the same exact issue, except the reason why the firmware flash failed in my scenario was due to the charging port which I believe had a faulty sensor because I got a message half way through the flash indicating there "moisture" in the port. Now no matter what I have tried, I cannot boot into download mode to try and fix it. I think the only possible way would be to use something like a ZX3 box but it would be great to hear from someone knowledgeable within XDA?

SAMSUNG M31S stuck on M31S powered by android screen Black screen if power button is pressed Please help :(

Got this phone with black screen and stuck on logo issue.
When I turn it on it shows the first startup SAMSUNG M31S powered by android logo.
And the problem is that it stays like that the whole time. The letters darken a bit when its close to the final boot up of the system which is normal but it should show SAMSUNG animation not this screen whole time.
The screen stays frozen like that. When I press the power button the screen turns off and it doesn't come back when I press the power button again. I have to force restart it by power + vol down or just turning it off the normal way by touching turn off on the screen but of course the screen is always black until I power it on again from powered off state. When its plugged into the charger(powered off) it shows that its charging just fine.
The touch works. I hear things when I plug it in. I turned on talkback and when I touch a part of the screen it tells me what's happening but the screen is black the whole time.
Download mode works. KG state is Prenormal I have no idea why, its on stock rom. I flashed correct stock didn't help
Recovery also works. I noticed that when I clear cache or wipe data while it does wipe just fine it also shows this message before the wipe "pdp no scenario"
In the recovery logs I noticed this error as well unable to set property ro.boot time.init.mount.cache so that might be a clue.
Can someone help me with this one? Its on android 11. I can't flash combination file because of the error "please get approval to use factory binary(PIT) "and when I give it PIT file it says the same but at the end its (bootloader) instead ( tried patched odin same thing unless there exist a way to bypass that security.
Thanks!
EDIT2:Added one more image(recovery logs error message)
I was able to unlock it even though its black screen. Will OEM unlock allow me to flash factory binary?
EDIT: I checked OEM option and long pressed in download mode. The phone's screen is now frozen on the "this device has unlocked bootloader...." screen. It boots up just fine but it stays like that until I press the lock screen and it doesn't come up again..
EDIT2: I tried combination firmware it didn't want to flash same please get approval message...
EDIT3: I was able to install twrp. What now? I can see some green color does this indicate display damage? I also noticed this greenish tint on the stock recovery too but in download mode and at the first startup logo no green is present. Why would the display work on recovery and download mode and bootloader is unlocked on this device screen but not work past that????

I've uploaded a YouTube video. I replaced logo.jpg from param.bin with my yellow image to test the colors and as you can see it shows some green, same green as in twrp so ye its the display most likely.
EDIT:
After flashing the PrishKernel the screen is stuck but after sleep I can wake up the screen and at the bottom where the navigation buttons are there is some noise type of image the rest of the screen is black. And its responsive if I press power button the bottom part turns on and off.
Brother you solved the problem??
