Tab S2 stuck on boot screen (not animated Samsung screen, not loop)

Stuck on the boot screen, won't turn off, not in boot loop. I've held the power button for a while, nothing happens. Waiting for it to run out of power to see it I can then charge and try to get it into download/recovery mode.
Any suggestions?

Hold POWER +VOL DOWN

Never mind. I had tried the power button but not the combo for recovery (didn't work) or download (did work with the quick change over to recovery once the screen went black).

Not sure why I didn't originally just try this, but I guess I figured if the power button alone didn't do anything.....
Wasted a good deal of time searching, everything I found was for loops or downloads screen. Well maybe this simple thread with the title will help someone else.
Now I just need to figure out how to get Xposed on the thing. That's what I was trying to do when it locked.

That just causes my screen to go dark and then the same screen reappears. I've tried POWER + VOL DOWN, POWER + VOL UP, POWER + VOL BOTH, POWER + VOL x + HOME. I guess I'll wait until the power dies unless someone has another way to force power off

Well of course it causes the screen to go blank its a hard reset.
What screen are you talking about.

UPDATE: after letting it sit for 2 hours, POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME triggered download mode.

Power down device without touchscreen???

So, long story short, wifes s6 was dropped. Screen wont turn on and her damn alarm keeps going off. Is there a way to power this damn thing down without having to use the screen? No I did not have USB debugging checked it is 100% stock. nothing shows up when I try to use ADB...

Try holding power button down for 15 or 20 seconds. Should power down

Yeah tried that, no luck.

Home Button + Volume Down + Power Button will reboot the phone then press the Power button.

If you get stuck in download mode hold down power and volume down, it will exit download mode but will just reboot your phone.

How do we get into Recovery Mode on the Note 8?

On my S7E, it was holding down the volume up, home key and then power key, and it would boot into recovery (power off first). But I can't figure out how to do that on my Note 8. I've done some searching, but no joy so far.
Anyone figure it out yet?

VOL up Bixby and power.

Its power button, Bixby button, and volume up(or maybe volume down, can't remember which).

Recovery Mode = Volume Up, Bixby, Power
Download Mode = Volume Down, Bixby, Power

Go to recovery, highlight the option using volume buttons and press power to accept...

Be prepared to wait at least 30 sec pressing volume down and power to get out. I thought my phone got stuck in download mode, don't think ever had to wait that long for phone to reboot.

Thanks much!
It didn't work at first, since I'd used Bixby Button Remapper. I had to fully uninstall it to get it into recovery. But I found that using bxActions will still let me remap the bixby button, and be able to get into recovery.
Life is good!

Hard rebooting is 10 seconds of holding Volume Down and Power buttons together. If it took 30 seconds you must have been on crack.
I'm just joking about the crack. :highfive:

You should be able to get into Recovery Mode using the standard vol up, bixby and power button combo.

Turn the device off. While plugging in the USB cable, hold the volume down and Bixby button. Phone should go into download mode. Worked every single time I've done it. I even just did it using my zero lemon battery case without a USB cable.

Is the Bootloader & Modem the correct ones. When I follow the link/URL it says S9 & S9+ NOT NOTE 9. This could be the reason my phone is stuck in Boot Loop.

turn off the device and connect the cable while pressing and holding bixby and vol down button the press the power button.

I don't seem to be able to enter download mode as well. I have tried all the methods provided and still unable to achieve this.
Anyone can help with this??

Hold volume down and bixby button together only.. Not power button. And then holding the buttom down and bixby put the cable in it should then go to to the download mode

download mode
I recently acquired an unlocked note 9 that kept giving me playstore has stopped working messages. I fixed this, but am pretty sure its a crappy android download that was making this happen. I want to install a fresh copy of android (8.1 is what is on this phone) and I can't get into download mode to do it. When I use the buttons, I got several chinese characters that when translated were not much help. Using the buttons and cable method only caused the phone to reboot back into the crappy android I want to replace. I attempted to sideload the adb and got file error messages saying it could not be read. Any help is greatly appreciated. SM-N960F is the model number. I've wasted so much time on this and just really would like to get it working correctly.

u sure its not a fake? lol
to get to downoad mode u simply hold vol down power and bixby from powered off state
or power off hold vol down n bixby while plugging it in
its that simple
or go to stock recovery then reboot to bootloader from there

None of this works. I never even thought it could be fake since it has all the original parts and box. How would I tell if this is the case? It certainly could be.
Thanks

I'd first look at the S-Pen. The butt end will click in and out of the pen, and the tip should be plastic that's a little soft to the touch. If the tip is metal, it's most definitely fake.

well change usb cable. may be usb cable have some issue.

Hard Bricked Samsung Note 9!!!

Hi,
Currently my Samsung Note 9 is stuck in a bootloop after trying to flash it. (Passed but died)
It is stuck in a cycle of Turning on and off - "WARNING: CMDline Parameter modified" with the "Samsung Note 9" loading screen.
I can't put the device into download mode - vol down + Bixby / vol down + bixby + Power - neither work!
Any ideas would be great.... Thanks in advance:good:

i remember back when the non-removable batteries (well, non removable by means which normies were accustomed to using at least) first cropped up in the forums and the "let the battery die and itll work" was laughed at. Those who laughed before arent laughing anymore. This is one of the biggest reasons i was ticked about the static battery launched in the S6. The "why does this bother you? all you need to do is a button press to simulate a battery pull" always baffled me especially when it came from devs

force reboot it with:
vol down + power
continue holding and the instant you see/feel it restart, do the DL mode procedure:
vol down + bixby while plugging usb from computer
its all about timing. get help from a friend for the DL mode procedure if you have trouble holding the buttons and plugging the usb cable coming from a computer.
what phone model do you have?
what did you flash?
