Hello,
(Posted this earlier, but just saw it was in the category of General S5830.. appologies for that)
Unfortunately I've got the same problem. I can't get my S5830i in download mode.
I know that it's Volume up+down and power button. Screen light up and off... Then up again .....and that's it. Black screen with the backlight turned on.
What happened?
I tried installing custom rom (RazoDroid) and during install it froze.... Bricked my phone. Was able to go into download mode and used Odin v1.84 to unbrick. After that I installed RazoDroid and tried to patch some system files to get arabic language working (patch found on this forum)... Didn't work...so installed Retribution, but patch also didn't work on that one.
Decided to install middle eastern rom on the phone (as it's for a friend who's english is bad but arabic is perfect)...tried going to download mode...and nothing..
Solutions
1) Tried depleting phone completely and holding buttons then installing the battery... No success
2) Tried removing battery and inserting USB.. then volume up+down then inserting battery... No success
3) Tried removing battery and inserting USB...then volume up+down+power then inserting battery.... No succes
4) Tried number 2+3 with non-standard USB...no success
5) Tried OneClick soft unbrick..... no success
6) Installing different custom roms.... but understand that this doesn't change boot
7) Internet/forums are out of solutions..... Posting this post ....success?

I had the same problem as you, I tried for hours to get the dam phone into download mode without success.
When I try to put the phone into download mode I just get a constant black (but 'on') screen. I found that even though this is the case the phone is still recognised in odin, as is the yellow bar would appear in odin. I was able to unbrick my phone by reloading a stock rom and then re-put retribution back on the phone but even now if I try to put the phone in download mode I still get the black screen.
Ive learned to live with it.

Lee,
Question... I thought I needed the phone in download mode in order to reload/reflash a stock rom. Could you tell me how to do this....
I tried Odin before and it was just waiting to connect to the phone...
What I want to do is get a middle eastern stock rom installed and give it to my friend. I'm not interested to have download mode working.
Many thanks for the support!

GUYS after some trial and error I got it back to work...
apperantly there are 2 download modes..
1. emergency download : volume up + volume down + power
2. "standard" download mode: volume down + power
the emergency download mode pops up (white letters on screen) when booting the Phone with: volume up + down + power.
if you use volume down + power you get the download mode with yellow letters !!!
if you get the yellow download letters:
1. go to odin (i take it that you have the right version and the rom) install the rom. Check odin to see if it has installed everything = pass
2. The Phone reboots -> diconnect the usb cable to finish the install (odin is waiting for reboot but ignore that).
3. Reboot the system in to recovery mode: POWER + HOME button
4. from the Recovery Menu, select “Wipe data/factory reset” then select “Wipe Cache Partition” and then select “reboot system now” to reboot your system.
5. wait for about 5 minutes and the Phone starts os. Connect to your google account and you are finished!
I had a completely bricked Phone but now I got an official factory version running on it again!
I hope this is off some help for others with the same problem!

Hello
I have the next issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500
And it bricked when I closed odin 4.36 after, when the phone was in downloading mode due that there was no completion. I wanted to install a newer version of the clockwork (mod) recovery.
I installed an old version but was unable to install the CyanogenMod (hte one from psyke83) that I wanted. And after I wanted to try a newer version of the clockwork (mod).
And now the phone is with the PC---to Phone icon brick mode.
I tried the volume down + main button + power off and isn't working
Also i tried to run the one click unbrick and isn't able to connect to the phone. Seems that the phone doesn't reach the computer
I tried an usb list (lsusb) in the ubuntu and does appear if i connect it.
I tried both in windows 7 and ubuntu
Do you think is a softbrick? Any clues? recomendations or questions for more details
did you find any solution..
i have no warranty since it as directly imported..i have the same problem ..
i was trying to backup my rom when it bricked.. (using rom manager) .... i tried volume down + home + power button (disconnect button) but nothings showed up.

I had a problem with the buttons on the phone the volume down wasn't working.
What do you mean by home button the one with the home icon or the main one with the metal borders because is that button the one that you need to use.
I also tried the resitor of 301kohms between the pins 4 and 5 didn't work.
Now i have the 2.3.7 working stable at the moment
try that combination of buttons if not tell me
I am pretty sure there is nothing you can do about it, if it is completely bricked.
And the phone won't turn on, in any case what so ever?

Depends if it is hard bricked or soft bricked. If the screens turns on and appears the PC---/!\ --- phone. The he can try to use the three key combination or the usb homemade jig. Otherwise he can try to find someone with the JTAG
search in google JTAG galaxy for more info.
sounds like a hard brick. People claim that taking the battery and sim out of the phone for 30 mins (min) and then putting back in and booting to download mode sometimes works
You could try that
MY BROTHER IS IN THE WAY YOU DOWNLOAD but equally can not install any OTHER ONE IS A STRONG BRICK
On galaxy s this also happens from time to time, even i had it once. Try if Odin possibly connects anyway and flash again, if not, remove your battery leave it out for 60 seconds and then try if you can get to download mode again. You definitely have not hardbricked your device...

Did you already try: vol up, menu, power on (by this order, holding them all together in the end) ???
(It might be that for your device you should press and hold: vol down, home button, power)
Did you try taking out the battery (for 10 - 15 secs) and trying the above combination again???
Also you might find this page of interest for your case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. Credits to @neerajganga
Please take a look at your PM messages.
A last comment; in my experience, using the latest version of Odin and firmware from the links I sent you, never required extra files (like pit or any other type).
Best of luck! :good: Share how it goes!
Hi everyone, I need help because I have probably bricked my Xperia Sola. Yesterday I tried to flash ClockWorkMod recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766892 ). I flashed kernel.elf via fastboot and after flashing I unplugged the phone and I pressed the power button, the phone vibrated and the Sony logo appeared then the phone vibrated again and the blue led turned on and.. nothing else! It doesn't boot and i don't know what to do I noticed that if i press volume up while the blue led is on, the phone goes into recovery mode but I don't know what to do! Can someone help me?
p.s. Sorry for my bad english!

Well, if you clicked the volume up while he was with that blue LED, and opened his recovery, he may still go start the kernel... remove and replace the battery and turn on the phone, maybe it solves.

I can't remove it! The phone has a non-removable battery!
OK, do the following, click the power button and hold it more or less by 10secs and release when you feel three vibrations . It will reboot your phone .
I followed your instruction but the phone didn't vibrate 3 times.. I'm desperate, do you think that if I bring my phone in a Sony support center they will fix it?
He turn on a Red led when you pressing the power + up vol? have to be pressed in the same time.. you can fix it easily here. you dont need to go to a sony support center now. If reset dont work , you can use flashtool to make it stock again.

If you want , flash this rom , its have root and CMW -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908 you can use adb to flash , or with flashtool , what is much more easy to use.

Out of curiosity, were you on GingerBread or ICS when you flashed this ? And is your bootloader unlocked ?
Flash a Stock as mentioned before and you should be fine.You can go Either Stock ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914264
or GB (as in the previous post).
And the Force reboot is Hold Vol Up + Power for around 15 sec. You will initially have one vibration, then three. After which it turns off.
What were you on? ICS or GB?
It's just an incorrect kernel flash. Phone can still be fixed.
I've first hand experience with this >_>
Don't send to Sony. They're useless.
Hold power + vol up for 10 secs. The phone will vibrate once, keep the buttons pressed until the vibration is felt 3 times.
Let go of Power, keep the vol up pressed. Then quickly shove the USB port in.
Flash these kernels via fastboot, depending on which version you were on.
GB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908
ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029
EDIT:
Or you can save all the trouble with the following:
Download Flashboot. After the 3 vibes, quickly hold vol down and shove the USB port in. Flash the stock ICS rom (includes kernel) which will fix your problems as well.

Oh my god! Thank you so much! My phone works again!!! I flashed the ics .ftf file and now my phone is working!!
So I tried to root my Galaxy Note and The root kernel I tried to flash was the wrong one so Id screwed it up royally. I'm on Official 4.0.4 UCLF6
but the I'm pretty sure the root method was for Gingerbread. So I tried to get stock back by using Samsung Kies and that didn't work. So now when I try to use Kies it will only let me do emergency recovery and when I go through all the prompts it gets to the screen that says "Proceed to firmware emergency recovery" But the progress bar does not move and stays at 0%. Even when I pull the battery and put it back in the only screen that will come up is the emrgency recovery screen asking to select recovery mode in Kies.Someone please help I had this phone sold and was gonna put on the ROM that the buyer wanted and now I've fuqed myself out of some money that I was gonna use to put towards my engagement ring for my girl. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help!!!!!
Try using Odin to get back to stock GB and root from there.

Or get in download mode and flash the correct kernel with Odin.
The only problem is I can't get the phone to work with odin. The phone won't go into "download mode", just "Recovery mode". Samsung Kies won't fix the phone in recovery mode, so I'm in a bad place.

Also when I plug in the phone it comes up COM4, but the square is blue not yellow!!
It does not matter if it is yellow or blue. And are you going into download mode correctly? It is volume down and power.

Yes, I have pulled the battery put it back in, held down the voldown button then pressed power. It went to the first screen prompting to hit voldown to cancel or volup to enter download mode. When I hit volup to enter download mode, it goes into "recovery mode" that you would use for Samsung Kies, but it won't go past 4% on the 2nd stage after it decyrpts the binaries

You could pull the battery and write down your s/n. Then in Kies click tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. It will ask for the model number then serial number. See if that works and good luck.

Download mode (for I7I7MX Devices)
1. Turn off the device.
2. Press Power and Volume down together.
3. When phone vibrates once get off with power button but keep holding the volume down Button untill you see a warning.
4. Then press Volume Up to get in to Download Mode.
Seems like you do not have drivers installed properly.
P.S: You did not mention which variant of Galaxy Note You Have. Members can help yo properly if you mention your model
Hello experts,
I am not able to get into Download Mode with my Mega 6.3 running stock Android 4.2.2!
What I've triedwith phone powered down)
* Vol down + Home + Power ---> phone vibrates, display comes alive from black to grey and gets black again and shuts down (buttons still pressed; if I release any one button, normal booting is the result)
* Vol down + Power ---> same as above
* battery out, Vol up + Vol down, connect with USB-cable to PC (with Odin running and tar-file inserted) ---> same as above but battery charging symbol appears
Any suggestions are very well appreciated!!!

* Vol down + Home + Power ---> phone vibrates, display comes alive from black to grey and gets black again and shuts down (buttons still pressed; if I release any one button, normal booting is the result)
* Vol down + Power ---> same as above
* battery out, Vol up + Vol down, connect with USB-cable to PC (with Odin running and tar-file inserted) ---> same as above but battery charging symbol appears
Any suggestions are very well appreciated!!!

Will your mega actually boot and run? If so I'd suggest, of your rooted downloading something like quick boot or another menu boot app that will automatically be reboot you into download mode. Also make sure when you hold the buttons that you hold volume down and home then press and hold power. Sometimes phones can be a bit wonky with button commands

My Mega will boot and run normally! It is not rooted and therefore Quick Boot or any other Menu Boot App unfortunately won't work!
And I tried a gazillion times the button combination...
Any other tips???

Adb command to force boot to download but that's pretty advanced tbh...and you can't root without download mode....maybe do a hard reset and see if that helps

Damn dude that's a weird issue honestly... im trying to think of another way... Try doing the home and volume down then power from your home screen... im guessing you've only tried from being powered off?

You've gotta hold home and volume down,...then press and hold power usually hold all 3 for like 10 or so seconds until it reboots, keep holding and bam.
Again no succsess! If I hold Vol down + Home and then press Power (from Homescreen) the phone shuts down and stays that way no matter how long I press/hold the buttons... The moment I release the buttons the phone boots normal!
I tried other buttons:
Vol down & up ---> phone starts in "Secure Mode"
Vol up ---> phone starts in "Recovery Mode" (can I use this mode for rooting?)
I am absolutely frustrated... but thanks for your help!!!
It all sounds quite a lot like a problem that I have. My screen broke and when the phone came back from service, my download mode was gone. It turned out that it was just blank graphically. One problem is that that when you enter download mode normally, you let go of the buttons when you see the graphics. If you keep pressing the buttons, then the device restarts after a while. I wonder if you can time it so that you enter download mode ( if your problem is the same as mine) and then press power and then volume up (the normal way to set download mode to receive flash) and then see if Odin recognizes the phone? I ordered a JIG to see if that would give me graphics in download mode, but it didn't. It worked the same way as the "blind key combo" so I tried flashing despite no graphics and it worked as it should. It felt a bit scary flashing through a broken download mode but I did it... That's my story
You can use Wanam Xposed (you have to be rooted and have installed Xposed Framework). In Wanam -> System you will find future 'Enable 4 way reboot menu'. Tick it and in 'Power switch menu' under 'Restart' you will find 4 Reboot options:
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Hotbot
- Download
It could resolve your problem, at least temporarely.
Of course there will be not 'download mode graphic' either but you can be sure so you are REALLY in download mode
Ullebear stated that his/her phone is not routed, so maybe Kingo root would be a good idea. I haven't tried it but I'm fairly certain it does not require you to be in download mode for the rooting process. Xposed and Wanam-stuff can be applied after that in order to more easily reach download mode without having to time the button pressing combo.
Please ullebear, let us know how it goes. I'm really curious about whether your problem is of the same nature as mine.
Kingo Root is working flawlessly on Mega GT-I9205, I have checked it myself.

From the trade in which you wrote I assume so this dongle is working on Mega. Am I right?

Jup tested it before posting.
Normaly you have to push volume up to continue but not with the jig you go straight into download mode.
Hello everybody...
In fact my phone wasn't able to go into "Download Mode" after getting it back from a repair of my display! I guess the authorized Samsung repair changed something in the firmware which always gave me a blank screen after pressing the correct button combination...
As suggested, I tried to go blindly into "Download Mode" by pressing Vol Up at the blank screen, but it didn't work
So here finally my solution (Kingo Root was too "suspicious" for me):
I ordered a USB Jig via Ebay compatible with Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and Note (Mega was not listed as a supported type) for 2 bucks.
I powered down the handy and inserted the Jig ---> blank screen (but I hoped it would be the "blanked" warning screen before "Download Mode").
I pressed Vol Up, opened Odin, disconnected the Jig and connected the Mega via USB with the PC.
From there everything went smoothly Phone was recognized and I was able to root with installation of SuperSU!
Thanks for all you help - you are a great forum with very helpful members!!!
By the way: I am from Germany and my phone came preinstalled with French firmware!

Hi glad the jig worked for you its a cheap and simple solution.
i have i545 I545VRUFNK1 i try to root it with I545_NK1_Stock_Kernel.tar and phone stuck in update mode and don't want to accept any file with odin even nc5 full wipe, any solution ?
Thanks
try doing this
Press and hold power key volume down and home button at the same time.
A screen will come which will ask you to verify to enter in download mode
Press volume up key to cancel.
Now phone should turn on normally.
i try but it goes to update mode again
Now do this.
Press and hold power home and volume down button at the same time.
Now as soon as screen lights goes off leave home and power buttons but keep volume down button pressed.
After message appears press volume down button.
It has worked for me.
i flashed already I545VRUGOC1_I545VZWGOC1_I545VRUGOC1_HOME and when flashing system ext4 give error so phone must be flashed to work again but dosn't accept any file
You meant to say you have erased previously flashed recovery and new recovery was also not able to flash?
---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------
If so then you need not to flash again to start the device I think it had nothing to do with it. I was in same situation with same device but above solution worked for me.
yes when i go to recovery now it say like in the pic and no way to flash any firmware also fail with all odin version
My phone was stuck at 'downloading please do not turn off kernel'
Did you ever get to the screen 'warning installing custom rom may harm your device press volume up to continue and volume down to cancel"?
I don't know it will work for you or not but to enter in download mode was never easy for me. I tried several times volume down home and power key and worked after lot of attempts. I think what I was missing in the process was to keep volume down button pressed after lights goes off.
I would suggest you to try it again in the manner I told.
Do reply what happens.
i have no problem to enter download mode i can enter download mode but flash with odin always fail, i never have this warning that u have
Device is still stuck or able to boot up?
If it's showing odin mode then it can be unbricked I guess.
Please confirm from senior members.
Btw does your phone shows network signal fluctuations? I have same phone as yours but signals are either full or at zero level.
device is stuck but it can go to download mode ( odin mode ) with volume down + home and power on
Contact my whats app I will make video to demonstrate
+919403710145
+201000042380, i can't find you in whatsapp can you find me ?
I am having the same problem, stuck in download mode. Tried flashing with odin and getting fails
i think only jtag will help now
Hey, what did you Flash with Odin what what was your phone previously on? It might be failing because of a bad download or the wrong file in the wrong place.
phone was working fine and i flashed I545_NK1_Stock_Kernel.tar to root it then device open in firmware upgrade and not accept any file to flash again always fail
I'm pretty sure the stock Kernal doesn't give root... let me read through the thread really fast...
EDIT: OK, you need a full OC1 wipe and PIT... Muniz_ri should have a full wipe somewhere
