Hi everyone. First time poster here. I'm having problems with my Samsung Apollo (i5801). I was at first going to root my phone, but before even getting to there, I was trying to access recovery mode so that I could fix a USB error (USB would not be detected when plugging into PC, only charged). I don't know what ended up happening, but now I am stuck in a rut.
Trying to hold Volume Up + Down, Home, and Powering on leads to the exclamation mark triangle android screen. Pushing the home button after that just leads to a reboot.
Holding Volume Down + Home and powering on leads to a blue "DOWNLOADING DO NOT TURN OFF" screen which I get stuck on.
Holding Volume Up + Home leads to a "Forced upload by key pressing" screen.
My phone still cannot access any boot menu and still cannot connect by USB to my PC.
I have not rooted anything and the firmware was on 2.1 Eclair before this whole thing happened.
Any ideas or suggestions would be grateful. Thank you!
Well seems like you can access Download mode just fine, so how about flashing it?
2 things here
you cant actualy access a boot menu on a stock apollo, you need to flash a firmware to it first
and the reason your pc cant connect to the handset is you most likely dont have the samsung drivers installed

this thread should help plenty same handset, just called something else
hope this helps
I have managed to "soft brick" my phone and I basically have bootloop where nothing except turning off from boot window is functional.
Volume Up/Down + Home + Power doesnt work. Aka recovery mode or neither Download mode.
At the moment I use ODIN program in computer.
The question is, that is there an alternative way to access in Download mode. I was told face to face that other devices have an schematic when/where cable and buttons should be pushed down.
At the moment I am waiting for JIG USB device that should allow bricked phone automatic access to Download mode. Then use ODIN to Flash ROM to reset everything.
Rooting was done by SuperSu program which also lead to brick after wrong update option. (Used HTC update)
Everything is OK.
The problem was that I was trying to go download and recovery mode after I had runned the system once before.
It should not be forgotten that button combination works only when everything starts from 0. Remove the battery and then press the buttons.
I have tried the power + volume down and plug the usb into the pc and I get to the Modified recovery where you can go into safe mode or factory reset, etc. I have done it before but it was Kingo root that did it. It's not working because I can't get to usb debugging mode. I need to go back to stock. Thanks

If you are using the LGUP method, you do not need to even go into download mode. If you are on the Verizon bootlooped screen you should be able to flash it back to stock right then and there.
Also there is no real recovery method that you can use so you will have to wipe it completely clean unless you have backups.
LGup says phone 'unknown' so it won't work. It worked yesterday. Not sure what happened. Tried the battery pull method but it still doesn't work.

I had the same issue with my VS990. LGUP was not seeing the phone. Using the Recovery menu via power + volume down, I booted my phone into USB debugging mode. LGUP was then able to recognize my phone. I then chose the tot file, chose upgrade instead of refurbished, and clicked start. It auto restarted my phone into Download Mode and started the upgrade. If you can get the phone into USB debugging mode, you'll be set.

Plug a USB cable into your phone with your phone powered off, hold down on the Vol Up button and plug the USB cord into your computer. It should immediately boot into download mode. I have verified this works on my Verizon V10.

I just confirmed that works good job
Huh. I did mine from a regular boot up, but in debug mode. LGUP commanded it to reboot into DL mode for me.
Download mode on the LG V10 is achieved the same way all other recent LG smartphones have been. Power the device off completely by either the power menu or battery pull. Plug your USB cable into your computer. I didn't have an issue with USB 3.0. Hold Volume up and plug in the phone to the computer. Keep holding Volume up until the phone says download mode. It will do a small loading screen then it will change, this is normal. You can leave download mode by pulling out the battery or by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.

I think you might be doing it wrong...
Download Mode -> Hold volume up, and plug into usb while STILL holding volume up, release once in download mode
Reset Screen -> Hold volume down + power, then plug into usb whil holding down buttons, release when screens comes on.
Ok, now for my problems. I got my phone into DM, used LGUP to install VS99026A_00_0118.kdz on my VS990. I let it go overnight. Came back to see it failed at about 73%, Error "can't get laf property", ever since then I can't get back into DM again, my LG splash screen will come up, then I get the android guy saying "Erasing...", then it reboots to splash screen again, waits a sec, then turns off. I managed to get into the reset screen with vol dn + pwr + usb method, tried to go into safe mode, now I have same issue getting back to that screen too.
Any help?
my lg v10 stops at download mode screen and don't go furhter
I have a V10 stuck in the bootloop. I was able to get it to boot past the lg screen 1 time but it very quickly rebooted again and is still stuck. And when I try download mode using LG Bridge, my computer says "no phone connected" and my phone stays on the "Download Mode" black screen. How can I fix it?

Hi,
I own galaxy s3 i9000, currently on custom rom. My phone automatically rebooted and got stuck on bootloop. If I am able to enter in recovery mode, i can wipe cache(which may can help to get out of bootloop). But the problem is I am unable to enter into recovery mode because phone's volume up button is not working and my phone auto reboots every time after power off or reinserting battery. Is there any other way to clear cache or enter into recovery mode?
I dont want to flash my stock rom via odin (because i didnt backup my some important apps and msgs), this will be my last option.
sorry for my bad english
The normal way I get my phone into recovery mode from the PC is using ADB and the command: "adb reboot recovery". However, I bet this won't work in your case for one of several possible reasons: depending on when the bootloop occurs in the boot process, the phone may never reach a point where ADB is able to see your phone in the first place; if this is happening after a flashing a new custom ROM, then also it's unlikely that USB debugging is turned and the PC is not yet authorized to connect with it over ADB.
Another thought, could your power button be stuck down? I had a GS3 SCH-I535 several years ago and the power switch went bad on it, it would keep rebooting, shutting down randomly, or I'd be unable to turn on the screen. I had a switch replaced and it was fine after that. I don't think it's normal for the phone to automatically boot up when you reinsert the battery, that's why I bring that up. Maybe you can wiggle the power button a bit and try to unstick it if that's the case.
I tried to remove and stick back the power button again, but still it didnt worked. By the way fixing power button will not help me to get into recovery mode as my phone's volume up button is also not working, and recently I found out that I cant enter into download mode too because when I press respective buttons (volume down + home + power) for download mode, it gives warning msg to click 'volume up' buttton to enter into download mode or 'volume down' to reboot. Therefore again volume up button is required to enter into download mode too. So the only option remained for me is to visit service center and fix the volume up button.
After an unsuccessful update, the phone was bricked. It cannot be turned on, but when is connected to the PC, the Qualcomm Port 9008 port become active.
Is it possible to unbrick the phone via Qualcomm EDL mode or any other way?
What? What do you mean it cannot be turned on? Even when breaking a samsung phone's firmware, "download mode" should still be active and working. In that case, you have to reflash a whole firmware again. Unfortunately, there's a chance that you will have to give up on your data.

I actually found a solution. I left the battery on the phone to be completely discharged. Then I pressed 3 buttons (volume (+), volume (-) , and power) and connect the computer via USB cable with the phone. The phone went into an emergency recovery mode. I tried to use Odin, but didn't work out. After pressing the power button (for 5 sec.) The phone restarts and the update started over.
Nevertheless, thank you.

Try entering download mode.
Power off your device.
Press and hold volume up and down buttons at the same time, then connect it to your PC while you still hold them. It will automatically enter download mode.
Flash firmware.
