I recently unrooted my phone but then tried to reroot again using ODIN, i tried to flash a CF Autoroot file on odin i found online and disabled autoreboot like it said
since then my phone will boot at all, it is stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not go anywhere, it will not let me into recovery and it will not let me into download mode, when i hold volume down and power it just reboots back to this screen.
after waiting over 14 hours i finally think i've managed to drain the battery, the issue is when i charge the phone again it switches itself on automatically for some reason and goes straight to that screen, i haven't tried to connect it to a computer yet as im at work and not at home.
please help, anyone have any ideas how i could fix this or is it fully bricked? I've rooted multiple phones in the past including this one and never had any issues, i've soft bricked before but managed to just get back into custom recovery, obviously i cant do this this time as the phone isnt rooted
thanks

its probably just a case of having to hold the bixby button, vol down, and pwr at the same time for long enough. also, try holding all 3, and releasing only the power button. May have to do this a few times, but hard-bricked devices dont even usually show the samsung logo

cf autoroot dosent exist for n960f. you flashed something that isint for the note 9. your recovery is probably screwed up because if this.
dl mode should still be accessible. search and read.
Open Odin with stock firmware and take the down button and Bixby button at the same time put your cable on the phone to go on dowloand mode
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------
And flash the latest stock firmware for your version
connect usb cable to pc and hold vol down+ bixby+power button together. when your phone screen goes black to reboot insert usb cable to phone and release power button only it will go to download mode. this is the only way to get in download mode when phone stuck on samsung screen or is in bootloop. or let the battery drain out and phone turn off. Then hold vol down + bixby button and insert usb cable in phone. Do not press power button. it should go in download mode.

Is it possible to have a phone that can't enter recovery mode?
My phone is rooted and I can enter recovery mode through Rom Manager but I can't get there by holding volume+- and power. I'm afraid some day I might mess up my phone and be unable to fix it because I can't enter recovery or download mode.
Am I just doing it wrong, or are there phones that cant?
I'm still within 30 days of my phone purchase, should I exchange it?
Same here. I can't get the phone to boot into recovery to update packages to install root. Any suggestions would be appreicated. I just exchanged my phone for a second time for a media player crashing issue, I called AT&T and they told me to bring it in for exchange. I can't get the new one to boot into recovery.
Mine only seems to work if I plug in a usb cable while holding the buttons though I'm sure I just haven't found the right timing the usb cable seems to help for some reason. And no I'm not getting confused with download mode.

I was able to root using the one click root method, the one that's stickied in the development forum. It doesn't require you to manually boot into recovery mode.

Hmm I guess I should exchange my phone. What should I say? "I can't get my phone to boot into recovery mode, I need a different one please." lol

I downloaded the oneclick however it is a .rare file and I can not extract the data with my pc for some reason. This is not my first time rooting a Captivate either so I have the tools and drivers. I just can't get into recovery mode and I am frustrated because without root I can not access my backup of Titanium or ClockworkMod.
I also am having problems getting into recovery.. Just got my phone today... I've tried about 30 times, and it absolutely will not go into recovery mode.
Works every time for me if i power off. Hold down volume up and down and power. Wait for the att screen to go off and as soon as it comes back on the second time let go of the power button and continue holding both volume button down until you see recovery booting. It works the same with a usb cable plugged in for download mode.
have you tried to get into recovery via adb , i always found that way a lot easier then pressing those buttons, pressing the buttons always hurt my fingers too much anyways.
From terminal in tool in the android sdk directory, you can do adb reboot recovery

i had the exact same issue of mine not working.. somewhere i had read it was to only hold down the UP arrow, not both up and down. I Just did exactly as you said and it worked perfect.
I am on my 3rd Captivate and it appears that the last two won't go into recovery mode using the button combo at all. My first Captivate did with ease, go figure.

Thanks I did it as you stated and it worked on the first try. Thanks a lot, you just saved me from agonizing over making changes to my phone in fear of not being able to get to the recovery screen.
If people are still having problem is suggest
1 turn off phone
2 count to 30
3 pull battery
4 putt in battery
5 hold both +,- vol buttons and the power
6 let go of power button when you see the att screen
Note: if that doesn't work than in step 5 hold the - vol and the power only or try to hold the + vol and power only.
Hope that helps even though it was said in the thread b4. Im just trying to make it clear
I've tried vol +&- with power.
vol - with power
vol + with power
I've tried letting off power at the at&t screen. I've tried one click root.
Nothing is working.
Edit: Lol, win 7 needs x64 drivers then I got it done through sdk. Still no hardware recovery boot though.
any chance this would work for our phones? Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (GT-I9000) Software Upgrades for Handsets with Original Production Software
.by Samsung Mobile Canada on Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 4:14pm.A software upgrade is now available for Bell Mobility Galaxy S Vibrant handsets, provided the device has original production software (JG9). The latest version of Kies has been tested and will resolve the three-button recovery issue
I've read on a forum once(can't remember where) that there are different models of the at&t captivate, some ship without the ability to use the buttons to boot into recovery/download. It also said that if you call at&t and tell them you want a phone that boots into recovery they'll send you one.
I told them that this was one of the principal reasons that I won't be keeping my Captivate. I returned mine today (the second one i have had, and after a Nexus One and EVO as well).
Ok i had the same problem i broke the screen on my captivate went to at&t
did a upgrade went to root it and could not get into recovery after reading all the
post and calling samsung (what a wast of time) i took the back cover off my broken phone looking for numbers what i found was a batch # under the sn#
my old phone had 1007# my new phone had a 1008# went back to at&t we looked
at all the captivates until we found a 1007# poped in a battery and went right in
to recovery i'm thinking mabe the new batch# had something different but it worked for me thought i would share

Which update? The JH7 one? I can't boot into recovery either. I'm running JH7 on an AT&T Captivate unlocked and using it on Rogers in Canada, with "1008" on the back of the phone. Maybe they DID remove recovery mode since the "1007" phones?
EDIT: 3-button combo fixed using C3P0LOL's fix.
Hi guys and girls, i came here looking for some help.
What has happened?
My friend tried to root his samsung galaxy note 5
By the look of things it hasnt gone to well.
So im sat here trying to resolve the issue
What i think the issue is!
I think he has soft bricked the phone because when i turn it on its just boot logo looping.
Now when i try and do a recovery / download mode i think its a full brick reason being i cannot put it in to recovery or download mode.
What have i done?
Ive tried to put it in recovery mode
Ive tried to turn the phone on
What was my results?
Turning the phone on i got boot logo loop.
Ive held power, volume and home button all together.
Now there is 3 options i have got
[Recovery]
[FastBoot]
[Normal]
When i try to select one of these using the volume button it doesnt work, how ever the phone says {Volume_Up to select. volume_Down is ok.}
Now this is the reson i think it is fully bricked is due to the fact i cannot boot it in any of those options and it wont even run in download mode.
So what kind of information have you guys got for me on how i can fix this issue?
He tried to root the phone yes but he previously rooted plenty of phone, so what can i do and how can i do it?
I hope there is enought information here for you guys but if not ask away
When you try to boot the phone pressing power, volume down and the home button, does it not go into download mode?

Mine did the same after gettimg the no signal issue and then i flashed a rom hoping itd fix it but it still got the 30 second or so reboot, never getting out of the initial boot phase and appearing to boot loop at the splash screen. Its hard to get into a download or recovery mode ar that point since its already trying to do so much and times limited by the time it received a recovery mode request it was rebooting. The fix for that issue is letting it bootloop to fully dying, some say without sim card in and in download mode if possible, i think just letting it die will do trick and u can then see if you got the no signal issue if it boots correctly after charging a little

No, it doesnt even get to there, last night after 3 hours of playing around with it i managed to get it to a android logo saying no command then 10 mins later i managed to get a list up and then clicked something and it would let me go back so we had to wait for the phone to die and now it wont load back up to where we had it

You finally managed to get the device into factory recovery....you're not bricked it's just frustrating and timing is important...do this...hold vol down+home+pwr for up to 2 mins and see if you don't come to a screen saying press vol up to continue or vol down to cancel, choose to continue and you'll be in download mode, use odin and flash factory firmware

Hey,
I have been reading around, but this is my first thread, and I'm looking for some help.
I got a G920T, and I was trying to get a custom rom installed, got twrp working, but after running xtresolite, twisted and VN-ROM installers (yes, i checked to download the ones for my model) and factory wiping had no luck, phone was just stuck at "powered by samsung" screen. So I decided trying to go back to stock, but ODIN gave me only fails.
Tried: AOCG, COF6 and EPD1 getting failed on writing from ODIN, then I realized i couln't get into twrp anymore, so I tried to get to download mode BUT then I couldn't get to it, just got to the green custom os warning screen and pressing any button doesn't get me anywhere, from there I can only turn phone off.
Tried to emergency recover with Smart Switch, but since it doesn't get to Download mode, it's not recognizing phone, and neither does Odin.
So:
-vol down+home+power=green screen/turn off
-No Download mode
Any ideas? I found another guy somewhere asking for same issue, but he got no answers.
Thanks in advance!!
Power off phone first don't restart and try it
Download mode usually always exists even with software screw ups
Power down first then hold volume down +home button then power button keep holding till screen comes up then chose volume up to continue to download mode .
IT takes like a few seconds to get it to power to download mode sometimes between 2-6seconds in my experience
For Odin try newest version and just reflash the idle kernel 3.0.2.0 twrp for s6 6.0.1
Very important you unchecked auto reboot in Odin before you flash twrp again .
You have to manually reboot after it flashes
Then you should be able to swipe to allow modifications then either restore rom backup or sideload a rom.
You can also recover your phone I'f you mount USB otg in twrp and down load a rom to it on the flash drive just a idea
If you wanna go to stock Download uvu3epd1 from Samsung site

Hey,
Thanks a lot for your answer androidddaaron!
It came to the point it went off and it wasn't charging when connected. No powered by samsung message, no download mode, nothing, so, in my desperation i placed the phone over a qi charger i use for my nexus7, after about 30-40 minutes, i grabbed it, it was very hot, and not even powering on (just grey battery not moving), so i decided to go deeper, took advantage of the heat to remove back cover and began to strip it apart.
I bridged the power on/off contacts directly on the board, and what was my surprise, powered by samsung message. So i got to figure out the combination for vol- contact on the board (3 contacts for volume: gnd, vol+ and vol-). Turns out i could get this time through and got to download mode . I'm waiting right now for software download to complete, it will probably take a couple hours, since i'm only getting 1.8Mb/s.
Before starting software download with Smart Switch (Odin not working here), i made tests for buttons, they seem to be closing circuit as expected with tester, BUT, when attached to board, i'm not getting the correct behavior, so i'm thinking i might have a faulty vol- or something, right now, working directly on board (no back cover, no aluminium), no buttons, bridging contacts as needed.
I'll wait for smart switch to finish and hopefully getting phone to work. I'll report after that. :fingers-crossed:
Umm.. I don't know what your saying sounds like you tore apart your phone.
The button combo works as I mentioned how to.
Flash the right twrp.. as mentioned with the procedures .
Then USB otg flash a rom
OR try odin flash stock
Best of luck

Hi all, this is sadly my first thread in xda, sadly because two things: for being a help-ask thread and because the reason im posting it:
So i decided to flash the new ASIG firmware to my S10, and I don't know what went wrong because odin flashed all right. when i rebooted my device did the key combo to get into recovery mode but it didn't work. Can't pass from the first boot screen because it keeps rebooting
some info to feed your sugestions:
-i was rooted and running a custom rom (August securitypatch on BeyondRom)
-patched AP file in magisk
-ianmacd TWRP
I have tried to get it into download mode, recovery mode, normal OS, magisk boot.... nothing works it keeps rebooting. I remember the battery was like 60~70 % and have been like 7 hours and keeps rebooting.
Also i have tried to get it to boot in download mode waiting till screen goes black pressing voldown and bixby and catching the right moment to plug the cable in it and stops rebooting but doesn't boot either. If i press power button starts again rebooting and the same happen if i disconnect-reconnect or free-press any of the button combo even for one second...
so i have been tweaking my devices like 3 years and this is the first time i think i screwed up one, i always tought it was not possible (hope don't) but this time i think i made it
Do I? there is no fix?
i'm waiting to the phone gets fully discharged to see if powered off can i get it to boot into download mode and fla**** again
is there another way to get it to go into download mode? like old phones with the usb jig
it is a way to turn it off??
do you know what could be the reason to get in this state?
sorry for too much questions but i had a s7 edge before and i messed with it a lot, one day deactivated oem unlock, flashed wrong custom roms and broke it (software way) a lot of times and i always was able to get into download mode and fix it but this time i can't get it to work
so please help me and thanks for read and try to help (if anybody) lol r.r :crying::crying::crying:
FIXED
i'm happy to have been right, its hard to hard brick a device hehehe just after some minutes after (panic atack) post battery went out of energy pressed key combo comected cable to pc and booted un DM im sorprised because did not lost a byte of data
When the S9-S10 Starts bootlooping and won't go to DWNLD mode or Recovery, Just hold Power + Vol DWN + BIX for 5 seconds, release, repeat for ten seconds, release, Repeat,
After that the "upload mode" should appear. and you can just hold Power+Volume Down until the phone reboots. This time the keys will finally boot you into the desired mode...
Yesterday I was trying to install gsi havoc rom on my s10 g9730f and seem to have bricked it. I was following this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Quba4DSvLc
and installed this rom:
ARM64-AB: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hav...mg.xz/download
from this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...e-development/havoc-os-3-3-gsi-archs-t4076903
I managed to flash TWRP with odin fine and booted into twrp recovery. I then performed the wipes, flashed dm no verity and then the rom. The rom booted first time (but didnt go into any set up, just went straight to the rom as though I had already set it up, which I thought was strange).
After looking around the rom and not liking it much, I shut the phone down with the intention of going back into recovery to try and flash a different rom or flash it back to stock. The phone shut down but is now stuck showing the charging circle only. It wont turn on, I cannot boot into download mode by pressing Vol down + Bixby and plugging the cable in, and I am unable to boot into recovery by pressing power, vol up and bixby. The phone seems completely dead. My computer/odin wont recognise it if I plug it in, and adb devices doesnt find it either.
All I can think of now is to leave it long enough so the battery might drain out and then I might be able to get back into download mode to flash back to stock.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything I can do? Or is it totally dead? Any help would be massively appreciated!!
Download Official Rom from Sammobile and flash it via Odin from PC.
ok crisis averted, i was too quick to assume it was bricked, i just tried again and have somehow managed to boot into download mode after all and am flashing back to stock now

im not quite sure, i was trying all the different button combinations again (which i had tried many times previous), and i think it was when i was holding power and volume down for a while, that suddenly the white charging circle went off and after being completely black for a few seconds, the samsung logo appeared, at which point i managed to boot back into the device. It obviously wasnt bricked but was definitely stuck. I shut it down again and this time it shut down properly, then managed to boot into download mode and have just flashed it back to stock.
i wish it wasnt so difficult to root s10s, its frustrating
