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

recently soft bricked my new AT&T S2.I have clockwork recovery installed (4.0.0.2), and the only buttons that work are home (goes back to the first menu), volume up/down, and power to hide the menus. I can't select anything at all, it seems like I have the international version of the recovery, not one for the S2.Anyways, I can't get into download mode by holding down the home + Vol up+ power, and Odin can't seem to connect to my phone if it's in clockwork recovery and not download mode.Would the jig work? Or is having no ability to boot into download mode pretty much a killer? I can access my phone through ADB, I just don't know my way around adb as well as I would like.Is there any way to flash a different recovery via ADB? Any other solutions to get my phone up and running again? Because right now it's not booting at all.
EDIT: Managed to get back into the system. It's running the International ROM instead of mine though, so the buttons are wonky. Does anyone know where I can find the ODIN files to flash back to stock AT&T S2?

:facepalm:
First off, that's not how you get into download mode. Turn the phone off, hold both VOLUME BUTTONS ONLY, and plug in the USB cable.
With my phone, If I hold down both volume buttons and power on, it goes to clockwork recovery. If I turn the phone on holding the volume up and the home button, it goes to download (now).
I fixed that issue already though, the problem at hand is that I have the i9100 boot and firmware on here, and need the stock Odin files to fix. Can't find the files though. : /

Also available in the Download Repository linked in my signature.
...me too....
WOW DISREGARD - too stupid to realize soft buttons work with CWM recovery. They didn't before...very premature post, my apologies
For the bootloop, I selected Advanced in CWM recovery, and then selected "Fix permissions" then I installed update from SD card. Now it works! Back to being a noob and hating my life.
-----------
I seem to have bricked my phone too...I was using ROM manager to install cm9 update (yeah, I NOW know I should not have used ROM manager). I used ODIN to re-flash cwm recovery enabled kernel. I can go to recovery, but it does not let me select any of the menu options. And when I boot the phone, it still sends me into a bootloop.
One time it did say "signature verification failed" but it doesn't say that anymore, it just doesn't move. I've read around about signature verification issues, but I haven't found anything that gets me anywhere.
I know this is pretty noobish, but I really appreciate any help!
hi all
i cant put galaxy 5830i in download mode not by volume down+ home+ power and by cmd .can any one help.
thanksssssssssssss
it's volume up+ volume down + power dude
That's right, volume down + home buttom + power button. you've put it in download mode ever? may be that the carrier has blocked.
thankkk alot
Out of idea's
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!

I'm trying to fix a friend's note(sgh-i717r) and it won't boot into recovery. When pressing the button combo, it just keeps vibrating and when I let go it's stuck on the samsung logo. I can still go into download mode and flash different custom recoveries or firmwares with odin but I can't get past the samsung logo.
I'd really appreciate some advice because my friend can't even use his phone at all until then.
Is your power button getting stuck? ?
This problem is very common ...and the device just loops ...g
I don't think so since I can get into download mode without problems
What button combo are you using? Make sure you let go of the power button after the first vibration and continue to hold volume up and down or it will keep vibrating.
Gubment Cheeze
With the right combo...even a device that is stuck, is not really stuck, as the same combo will boot you to either the recovery, or the DL mode.....
Are you sure that recovery is present ??
You did mention that a flash of recovery was successful, but have you seen it ??....as it may have failed, even though odin says "pass"....g

For download mode I use power + vol down, and recovery I use power + vol up + vol down and after the first vibrate I let go of everything except vol up. I was able to enter into recovery before trying to flash superuser but now it's stuck.

The recovery is there as I used it to try and flash superuser but it gave me an error about an incorrect md5(and I know it shouldn't be giving that problem because I used the superuser file from the stickies that the majority of people had no problems with) so I tried using the latest version of twrp instead of cwm.
Well...
I suggest you go into download mode, and push a factory image to the device via Odin, and start over completely...
It's looking like the device has a bad recovery image, but if DL mode is still there, you are able to save it by a restore.....
Go into the super thread at the top of the general section, and scroll down the first post to the restore area, and you will find the links and instructions to put the device back to stock, and re-root....
At least that way, you know where you started from, and the device will get cleaned out for a fresh try again....g
So, I was off attempting to root my phone with CF-Auto-Root. I have an S6 Edge from T-mobile, and so I selected the one for the SM-G925T, which was my phone's model number. On using Odin, following all the steps from the youtube video titled "How to Root Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge!" by Max Lee at High on Android (Sorry I can't post a link, I'm too new) Anyway, once I got to the part where I was rooting, upon restart, my phone seems to be locked in the startup screen. In the upper right corner in red, it says "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" other than that, the screen is black with some white text that says "Samsung / Galaxy / S6 Edge / Powered By / Android" With each "/" representing a line break.
When I hold down the power button, nothing happens. Did I just ruin this phone, or is there something I can do to fix it? (I fear I may have unplugged it too early... I waited ~5 minutes before I figured it was totally frozen and that I would need to do something. Hopefully that didn't ruin the root...)
Thanks for any help!
Disclaimer, I'm no expert.
First, take a couple of deep breaths, your phone is not lost to the world.
Sounds like your stock firmware is kicking up a fuss about being booted from a non-samsung recovery.
There are several threads about this particular error already, but the general gist seems to be to get your phone back into Download Mode (power button + volume down + menu button) and flash your stock firmware back in.
That will probably remove root and clear your data though.
Do a Google for "Recovery seandroid enforcing s6" if you havn't already

This is quite normal. The same thing happened to me.
If you've got as far as flashing TWRP via Odin then it should just be a matter of booting into recovery. As you're in a place where your phone will keep trying to boot even if you power off, it's just a matter of timing.
To shut the phone down you need to hold Power and Vol Down for about 10 seconds. What you'll find though is the phone will boot up again straight away and show you the annoying Seandroid screen so what you need to do is power off the phone then as soon as the screen goes black hit Vol Up, Home and Power. Keep holding them and instead of booting to Seandroid it should boot to TWRP. If you get Seandroid just try again. You need to get those buttons pressed as soon as the phone starts to boot-cycle though.
Once you're in TWRP you can install root, and then install the kernel which will allow the phone to boot normally again.
Good luck!

Yeah, I was just googling around to see if anyone had more luck. I'm currently downloading 5.1.1 (I didn't know that Samsung changed the bootloader, so I'll have to wait for that root to come out. Oh well...) Hopefully it goes well I'll update with results once it's done downloading!
The s6 is weird. This is the first Samsung phone that when using cf-auto root it soft-bricks my phone. You have to flash recovery through odin, then root through recovery for it to work. Dont forget the no sleep fix while you're there.
Here are the steps and links:
1. Download ODIN v 3.10.6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2711451 and extract it to a folder.
2. Download TWRP v2 by eousphoros (Odin Flashable Version) from https://mega.co.nz/#!aQhTnQRR!k-M-j9...swZO3CWYi0mMtI
3. Download the latest SuperSu Beta from http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps...v2-05-t2868133 and transfer it to your internal storage on the phone.
4. Download Deep-Sleep flashable fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=56 and transfer it ot your internal storage on the phone.
5. Put your phone into Download Mode. Power Off, then hold Power+Home+VolDown. At the warning press VolUp to continue.
6. Connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable.
7. Launch ODIN.
8. You will see the text Added! in the status panel (left side).
9. Checkmark the box beside AP and then click on AP.
10. Browse to the TWRP tar.md5 file you downloaded earlier and select it.
11. Wait a few seconds for MD5 check to finish successfully.
12. Press Start. You will see the progress bar at the top and when it's complete status window will have message "All Threads Complete (Succeed 1, Failed 0)".
13. Boot into TWRP (Button combination Power+Home+VolUp) and then flash/sideload SuperSu beta zip and then the deep sleep fix zip that you have on internal storage.
14. Reboot to system. Congratulations, your phone is now rooted.

This is quite normal. The same thing happened to me.
If you've got as far as flashing TWRP via Odin then it should just be a matter of booting into recovery. As you're in a place where your phone will keep trying to boot even if you power off, it's just a matter of timing.
To shut the phone down you need to hold Power and Vol Down for about 10 seconds. What you'll find though is the phone will boot up again straight away and show you the annoying Seandroid screen so what you need to do is power off the phone then as soon as the screen goes black hit Vol Up, Home and Power. Keep holding them and instead of booting to Seandroid it should boot to TWRP. If you get Seandroid just try again. You need to get those buttons pressed as soon as the phone starts to boot-cycle though.
Once you're in TWRP you can install root, and then install the kernel which will allow the phone to boot normally again.
Good luck!

I'm confused... When I use the Vol Down + home + power button, it boots into the normal (as far as I can tell) samsung bootloader thing (at least, the one from 5.1.1) So I don't think I have TWRP installed even. Anyway, it shows up in Odin, so how do I start loading everything? In the Files [Download] section in Odin, I see boxes that say BL, AP, CP, and CSC. Which of those do I select to load up the full backup that I got? (It's about 4GB of data with an .iso, if that makes a difference)
Edit: Basically, I have no MD5 files in the download. (I got it off high off android)

You will not be able to flash anything in odin if youre not in download mode. If you have trouble getting in download mode, you're doing it wrong. Turn off phone, then press Vol down + power + home and dont release any of those until you see something unusual, such as an android robot. While using odin, NEVER EVER load anything in any other option than AP. As far as backup goes, I don't know what backup you made but you don't restore it though odin thats for sure, you will hardbrick your phone.

I can get into the stock Samsung download mode (light blue screen, it says downloading on it..) On the links posted in post number five, none of them worked for me... The thing is, I was trying to load TWRP while my phone was updated to 5.1.1 if that makes any difference... Anyway, it appears that the stock download mode is working, so what do I do now? (From what I've read, I can't really put TWRP on it??)
Alright, I got it working! (Hopefully this will help others get redirected to the right thread, since it took me a while to find this!) Depending on whether or not I am allowed to post links at this point, I may need to post repeatedly here, and I apologize for that, but it's all with the best intents in mind!!!
Anyway, if you do what I did, which is this:
No backup, attempt to root GS6 Edge (SM-G925T from T-mobile) with the 5.0.2 CF auto root, while your phone has already been updated to 5.1.1. It puts you in a boot loop, which really isn't fun, because it doesn't appear that you can fix it... Anyway, I went to the thread, which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...recovery-twrp2-8-6-0-g925t-5-1-1-of6-t3143002 . Anyway, what you need to do is boot into download mode (which you can still do when you are in the boot loop, just hold the volume down + home + power buttons until the device boots into the downloader screen. At that point, you use Odin, and install the file called "OF6 Stock Recovery". That should fix it! Anyway, go to the thread above, it helped me a TON!!!
This isn't really rocket science. Yes, there are different root options for 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 but this is clear in the OP when you decide which root to use.
The only things you need to consider are, if you flash a custom recovery (not the 'download mode' that you use for Odin) then the stock rom won't boot. It's not bricked but you just need a custom kernel. Therefore the steps are:
Download and copy the custom kernel and root to the phone
Boot into Download mode -Vol down, home, power - and flash recovery (TWRP etc) via Odin
Boot into TWRP custom recovery - Vol up, home, power - and flash kernel and root
Reboot
Profit
It really is just a matter of reading the steps carefully and doing exactly what they tell you.

Samsung J3 - J337P > Windows 10
Will not boot into download mode, Will not boot into recovery.
Power on > SAMSUNG J3 screen > No boot. Screen just flashes. No logo after the initial J3 screen.
Have tried every button combination / plugging USB in trick I can think of in an attempt to get to download mode.
Phone immediately attempts to boot when plugged in through USB. Im sure its just trying to display the charging screen but it doesn't even do that.
Samsung drivers are installed but do not see any USB recognition in Device Manager.
Any ideas for this newly acquired paper weight?
did you try adb or fastboot? just because its not showing in windows doesn't mean its not being seen...
i finally got it to boot into download mode by holding VOL down and the home key while plugging the usb in. flashed to stock rom with odin. not rooted but also not useless now.
I am having similar problems although self-induced. I had messed up my J3 Achieve so that it wouldn't boot. So, I tried reloading the stock firmware but had problems. I ended up loading the combination firmware factory binary. But, now I cannot get it into Download Mode to use ODIN for another firmware update. It keeps going in to the Unknown Power or Upload Mode. ODIN sees the phone in that mode but won't connect to load files.
The Factory Binary has a place to do DownloadMode, but it says Enter Password. So, I have no idea what the password would be and coannot find any documentation on the service firmware (assuming they use this at the factory to test). I can get to recovery, which will let me load from SD or ADB. I have barely used ADB and couldn't get it to connect. So, I need some guidance. Hopefully I didn't totally brick it, although I only paid about $60 for it and can get most of that back for parts.
Ideas?
OK, I got the stock ROM reloaded - finally. Now, however, I'm back to the problem that started all of these problems in the first place. When I flash TWRP, the phone won't boot. It shows the initial screen and then goes into a mode where it is either black or dark gray (momentary flashes like it's trying to do something). I've verified my version of TWRP (released in October). Any ideas how to flash this one correctly?

I know you've fixed this but the way to get it to download mode when you get the upload screen is by holding down vol - , power and home button. Once the screen goes blank continue to hold down the home button and let off either the vol- and hold the home button, or hold vol - still and home button. It will then boot into download mode.
