S10e no download mode, no TWRP, strange Black Screen / Brick Issue? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

After i tried to solve another issue with a custom Rom and installed a TWRP for Hades Rom, my S10e doesn't start normal, download mode also doesn't work.
Only thing is, if I press Power + Bixby and Vol down, it vibrates and the Samsung logo appears shortly.
After that the PC (if USB is connected) shows the folders but display of the phone is still black.
Funnily i can tab on the phone screen and it vibrates on some areas, so I assume it is in TWRP but with a black display.
I'm completely stuck now, searched a few hours on google and XDA for a solution but nothing works.
Power and Vol down mages a restart, if USB is connected the folder appears after a fw seconds on the PC, Display still black. When i tab on the phone it vibrates but no display, so no idea what i'm doing.
Download mode or "visible" TWP doesn't work, tried also several button combinations, nothing works.
So, how can i get in download mode to do a reflash? I've no data on the phone so wiping is no problem. Any ideas?
Edit 1: It seems i could solve the issue by draining the battery completely and go into download mode afterwards, so - solved for now

Bump, having the same issue

Hold power and volume down to get out the black screen

Phone freezed after rebooting!! HELP!

FIXED
After rooting my Samsung Galaxy S, it got bricked and got stuck on the black and white logo sign. The home buttons would light up but I had to take the battery out to turn it off. When I plugged in the USB at the battery sign, I pushed the volume up and volume down and power button at the same time and let go of the power button when the screen flashed back, then let go of the volume buttons after awhile. That took me to the download mode. I tried other methods like one click un brick but it didn't work. After following the instructions to the link below it now works fine!! I'm so glad because I almost sent it to Samsung for $70. I hope this will help anyone else who is having the same problem! If I can do it, I think anyone can do it! This was my first time trying to root a phone without knowing anthing.
Here's the link:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Also some helpful tips when using the Odin program:
-before you plug in your USB cable, put the tar and pit files into the same folder as the extracted odin file so you won't run into any problems
-then after plugging it in, if the box in the Odin program doesn't turn green then disconnect/connect USB cable again and it should turn green
so I found out it crashed because i was using root explorer >< I had no idea it could do that to my phone. anyways I looked up how to hard reset the phone when its frozen. is that the only way? because its not working. the first thing to do is hold the volume button down and then press and release the power button then three things are supposed to pop up. but everytime i try to do that, it just goes to the black and white screen >< any tips or advice?
You should press the volume down + home button + power button, then the phone will enter in download mode and from there you can flash a new working rom with odin.
Or if you want to wipe data you can press volume up + home + power and it will enter in recovery menu.
thanks, but I think I really screwed up my phone. because I tried that and all the other ways to put it in recovery mode but everytime I push those buttons the black and white screen keeps blinking
Can you put the phone into recovery or download mode with adb?
adb reboot recovery
or
adb reboot bootloader
That sounds way too complicated after looking it up. I don't think I should mess with it because it might mess up even more. Do you think how much it would cost if I went to a phone repair shop? If it's more than $20, I'm gonna do whatever I can to do it myself. T_T
So i found out that if you push the volume up ANd down button ANd power button at the same time it will let you clear all data and restart the whole phone. I did that and when I turn it on it makes the tmobile sound but it still freezes at the black and white sign. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay $70 and send it in to samsung T_T also, I forgot to mention but I used root explorer to try to change the framework. would that have been the problem? or would it be the installation of bug busy installer? because after I installed that it kinda froze on me. But I used root explorer before and didn't have a problem with it. Anyways, anyone can help me on how to get it off the black and white screen?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II 4G (SGH-T679) Can't Boot

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, ...

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

What if u try it again. Hold all 4 buttons, while the phone is connected to power for 10sec. After that release the power and volume up button. So u hold volume down all the time. See what happens.

You can only try to flash ifwi and dnx as I did but I also had no success and also Moto themselves couldn't fix the phone.
If your phone is still in warranty it will get replaced, otherwise you can throw it away.
i had this problem when my battery was deeply unloaded. i had to load it with an powersource with 1A and a factory cable. that worked for me...
Help ,, please emergency !!!!
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. Please help.

My Nokia 7 Plus does not boot at all or stuck on Android One logo

My phone suddenly restarted and stuck on Android One logo and not booting further. I've turned the phone off and started after few seconds and it was still stuck on Android one logo. Then I've tried to get into recovery mode by pressing Vol Up + Power but it was not working. Also it's not responding to the charger. No battery sign and nothing. It does not respond to power button many times. I've also tried to get into fastboot mode (Vol down + Power) and even it was not working. Please help!
It's not rooted and didn't try to flash/install custom ROM.

Take phone to discharge batttery and automatically turn off. Plug in to charger for few minutes and press and hold volume up,volume down and power for 2/3 minutes. He should be turn off and then you can go in to recovery.
Suffering the same problem.
I'm having the same problem. Exactly what you said. I didn't root my device or even attempt to do anything. I bought Nokia because they were purely stock and delivered some quality mobile phones. I've got only this phone as my daily driver. So tell me if you have got the issue fixed and how much did it cost and how long it took. It's been stuck with that 'android one' logo and a small message that reads 'Download mode' on top. I've tried everything. And what I'm worried about is, my phone's out of warranty and I'm a student. I hope you got it fixed for some reasonable cost. Please reply to me ASAP.

Possible brick after updating twrp

Dear all,
I was on beyond 5.3 with twrp 3.3.1.7 and I wanted to update everything. Magisk, root etc was working fine.
I downloaded the patched twrp file from the beyond telegram chat and flashed it as image into the recovery partition.
The installation was finished in 2 seconds, but stupid me chose to power off instead of rebooting the recovery.
So I tried to enter recovery using the button combo but nothing happened and I was stuck with the samsung logo.
The current status is that my phone only shows the samsung logo.
Holding the power button for a minute doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for recovery mode doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for dl mode makes the phone reboot. It vibrates for a sec, then the samsung logo shows again.
If I keep pressing all 3 buttons the phone keeps on rebooting and vibrating each time, but dl mode never appears. If I let go of the power button the logo stays and again, nothing happens.
So basically I can't enter dl mode nor reboot.
Should I let it run dry and try again or just throw out of the window immediately? :crying:
I let the battery drain over night. Phone was finally off.
So when I plug it in, the Samsung Logo appears and doesn't change. It just stays like that forever until the battery drains.
Pressing the power button doesn't do anything, no matter how long. It doesn't reboot nor does the logo disappear.
Pressing vol+, bixby and power again does nothing.
Vol-, bixby and power makes the phone reboot. The screen turns black, the phone vibrates shortly, the logo reappears. If I keep pressing the buttons the phone reboots again, and again, and again, mever reaching download mode.
If I let go of the power button and keep pressing vol- and bixby the phone stays black and won't even show the logo. Nothing happens. If I let go of either of the two buttons the logo appears again.
It won't boot, won't go into recovery or go into dl mode.
I'm doing all this while it's plugged into the usb port of my pc, and it doesn't get recognized. Samsung 300k tool doesn't recognize it either.
Now I know the meaning of "bricked" lmao.
Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
Pressing only the power button for a minute literally does nothing. Like hell, how is that even possible?
You can try this to go to download mode:
Vol down + bixby + usb cable connect to PC
It's advisable to charge battery first before flashing firmware.

I tried that for like a thousand times already but now it chose to magically work somehow.
I think I peed myself a little when that ugly turquoise screen appeared and I screamed from sheer happyness.
THANK you!!!
The problem that doesn't stop giving lmao.
Got into DL mode, got odin to start, but after like 10 seconds my phone dies and odin fails.
Now I cant get into DL mode, but rather only the "an error occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."
Could it be the battery that simply dies?

Yes most probably a discharged battery. Hopefully you can go to DL mode again after charging your phone.
hello,
I've and S10e and because an important app to me I need to go back to android 9 where it works.
I've read a lot info about downgrade, but no one says ROOT/UNBRICK.
Can someone inform if there is a way of downgrade without ROOT (maintaining the warranty).
thanks in advance
P.S.: Maybe too naive question, sorry for that
