Hello,
I've read a lot of threads trying to figure this out on my own with no luck. No matter what buttons I try, I cannot get the Maintenance Boot Mode menu to appear so I can enable USB debugging. Has anyone had this issue before? I have the SM-G920A Galaxy S6 64GB (AT&T) model.
Here is what Ive been trying:
"Once the S6 is switched off, hold the Volume up, Home, and Power buttons down simultaneously.
Kept the buttons pressed down until the phone loads into the boot menu."
When I try the above, it just keeps booting up with the Galaxy S6 black and white screen over and over until I let off the buttons, then it boots up completely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

i too same scenario my phone is a samsung galaxy note 4. My guess is that my service provider at&t will not allow me to access this function.

My Galaxy Exhibit II 4G is about a year old, rooted and i have CM11 installed. Everything was fine, I had it plugged in (charging) and i was downloading an app (Camscanner) from the Mobogenie store when suddenly the phone shut off and the battery icon appeared with the loading circle in the middle.
This did not stay on for long as the screen would go off and this would again appear. After pulling the battery and removing the charger, then reinserting the battery, the phone would just flash the SAMSUNG logo in this very same manner.
I am unable to get into either recovery or download modes and when i try this combination (VOL UP + VOL DWN) i get:
RAMDUMP MODE
Cause: Force Upload
I have been reading forums for hours and i have found nothing. Is my device bricked? What can I do to recover it? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated :crying:
What happens if you try vol. up + power, or vol. down + power?

Thanks for replying. Nothing happens. It just continues to reboot like I'm not doing anything. The only way I'll get a reaction out of it is with vol up + vol down
It can be tricky. This post may be clear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32437850&postcount=6
The link you sent me to sounds similar to my problem, except I wasn't trying to update the firmware. The crash was spontaneous.
However, neither of those methods work. As soon as I put in the battery the SAMSUNG logo appears, then disappears and reappears and it continues like that... Pressing the power button does nothing, whether by itself or with the volume up/down button
I am beginning to panic
What happens when it's connected to power?

Anyway, after many hours of investigation I discovered it was a hardware problem. The power button was stuck and so it forced it to reboot repeatedly. It also explains why it (the power button) was unresponsive. Disassembling the phone and freeing up the power button solved the problem.
P.s. Your build of CM11 is boss
I have same problem with power button. Had to tweak it hard cause it was so sensitive.
It's the first time it's happened to me. Probably because I dropped it so many times
Strange, ...

I also get ram dump mode error when trying to manually boot recovery.

OK so I'm no expert or anything but maybe my experience with this Model might be able to help you a little bit. I have the same model and it was doing the exact same thing however I haven't rooted it. And I've since corrected the issue on mind particularly it appeared that it was the charge port and/or USB that either had a bad connection or possibly it was boot looped. However with me not rooting the I didn't understand how it could be booted Looped so I started playing around with holding the power button playin with USB things of this nature and what I found was that if I hold the USB to one side either left or right, this allowed me to help a boot farther into it sequence at first to just show the Samsung logo over and over then I could get it to get to the boot sequence about halfway through the boot animation until I finally got to the exhibit screen where displays its model and 4G status. I accomplish this by holding the USB to one side and pushing and holding the power button intermittently throughout the boot. Once I hit the unlock screen unlock the device and I immediately factory data reset it. I'm under the impression that mine was possibly I think that mine was somehow a corrupted bootloader or software still I don't know what caused it to backed up to this day occasionally it'll shut itself down and reboot on me that's why I'm here today I've got all the parts and pieces I need to flash a new rom and hopefully new software the new work over I'll be good to go I also cleaned the USB port made sure that it was still snug to the board all of the good stuff. I don't know if it'll help you but I had the same situation I thought you'd like to know that it was probably not what you were doing with the phone it may just be the software itself with this particular phone see I done nothing that you didn't had the exact same problems. I hope it was somewhat helpful if you haven't gotten it unlocked or re-booted yet. Then maybe just play around with the power sources and power buttons. And see if you can get the same results I did
Hey guys,
so I think my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 died
It was not rooted or flashed.
I tried to get into boot menu by holding down power- home- and volume-up-buttons, but it did not work. (volume down instead of volume up, did not work either). When I try to turn on the phone I get a weird screen, I have never seen before:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1228620&d=1343546815
And after that I cant turn it off, I have to take out the battery.
So what can I do to save it?
thanks.
Edit:
I get the same screen, when I plug the phone to my PC
So I have been looking for weeks and I have not found a single person with the same problem as I do. Let's start off by saying what's wrong with it. I was on my phone, using it as I usually would when all of the sudden, it crashed and went to the Samsung Galaxy S6 boot up screen (It continued to stay like this forever), by the way, my device is NOT rooted. I'm unable to turn the device off manually so I have to wait for the screen to turn off on its own. When the device is off, holding the power button does absolutely nothing. The only way for the device to turn on is for me to plug it in. The two things I'm able to do is perform a stimulated battery pull (Volume up + Power) and get into download mode (Volume down + Power + Home). I cannot get into recovery mode with the device on or off either (Volume up + Power + Home). I've tried Odin and that doesn't work. It passes, but my device just resets and goes back to the boot screen forever. I've tried Samsung Smart Switch, but cannot do that either due to the program crashing every time I confirm my model number and S/N. I was just wondering if there's any other way I can fix my device on my own without getting a replacement. Thanks.

I had the exact same issue with my S6. You'll have to send it to Samsung as the Main Board has a fault

Same fault
Hello XDA members,
Recently my S10 randomly rebooted and is since then stuck on the splash screen. It wont let me turn the device off or boot into safe mode, download mode or recovery. It simply is stuck onto the samsung logo screen.
After draining my battery, I tried to charge it but it instantly goes to the splash screen again (not the charging screen) and again, it won't let me boot into any other menus. I tried all the button combinations.
The S10 is 3 days old and has not been modified. It has been updated to the latest may patch.
Any help or suggestions would be appriciated!!
Kind regards,
Samuel
Hi....
Put the phone on the charger and then press Power + Volume Down button and hold it for about 8 seconds until it vibrates ... so you can turn the phone off .
When the phone is off, press the Power + Bixby + Volume Up button and hold it until you enter into recovery mode and then wipe data / factory reset.
If you fail then you must send the phone to repair immediately... Good luck..

Thank you for responding.. Sadly it didnt let me reboot to any mode in any way.. I contacted my service provider and they offered an repair without costs.. So I guess I gotta wait another 2 weeks to enjoy the S10 again
Sorry my friend, I empathize with you. I had a similar situation on my original S9 Plus back when it was originally released and what a bummer - waiting until the replacement came in. All will be forgotten once ou get the replacement and you are able to enjoy the S10 again - so hang in there - Best of luck and I hope you get your replacement soon.
The update is what did it. Samsung just pulled the latest update for causing phones to lockup. I don't know the way forward for you though. With it being a couple of days old I would think that you could go back to the store and get it replaced.
Hey Everyone, Hoping you might be able to help me.
My Samsung Note 8 SM-N950U (Verizon) has been in a drawer for almost a year and a half now. I puled it out so I could use it to play one of my games while leaving my actual phone available for use.
Upon plugging in and trying to power up the device, it will only boot up tot he "Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Powered by Android" screen, then it starts over from the beginning. I've tried booting into the boot menu by holding the Power and Volume down buttons but it does nothing.
If I hold the Power + Volume Down + Bixby button, the screen flashes a sort-of "teal" color, but then flashes to black and I'm unable to read what might have previously been on the screen.
Any recommendations? Appreciate your help.
