Can't enter download mode - Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers

I've tried entering it by holding volume up & volume down & then plugging the phone to a computer to no avail. I've also tried holding up + down + power - still nothing.
Also, the way I got here is I have flashed magisk 24.1 on twrp & rebooted & now I can only restart my phone.

I faced this problem too. Oddly enough, while flashing the ROM the charge state was around 60%, but just before flashing, it suddenly acted as if there was no charge and turned off. When I try to turn on the device, the Samsung (Knox) screen comes up then was suddenly shutting down. I tried VOLUP+VOLDOWN+POWER with USB plugged in. For 1 second, the charging screen was showing and closing. I also plugged the USB-ni and kept it pressed for 2 hours on 3 keys (up+down+power) (I still can't feel my fingers). Then, I unplugged the USB again and tried to enter download mode and it worked. The problem was solved by itself.

POV: device off: hold both volume buttons and connect USB.

Hi BrotherBoard!
Thanks for your help but I actually solved the problem already a while ago but I couldn't find the way to close the thread. Do you happen to know how to do that?

How you solve it?
I have a Galaxy A10 that doesn't go into DOWNLOAD mode too. I tried the HIJACKER program and also the common way which is by holding the volume buttons and connecting the cable. He is TELCEL. Can you let me know if there's anything I can do?

[Q] Cannot Root After 2.3 Update

I just updated to Android 2.3 but I don't like it. So I decided to flash back to 2.2 via ROM Manager. I tried to root the phone with Super One Click v1.9.1. But it got stalled at running psnueter and later gave an error message. I tried a few other tricks but nothing was working. So I decided to do the manual flash with Odin. When I tried to boot into download mode, the phone jut booted as normal. I tried by turning the phone off, plugging in the USB cable and then booting it while holding the volume buttons. I tried again using the similar method but with the battery pulled then reinserted. Again, it booted as normal. I then tried using my jtag dongle which I made a long time ago, and the phone still booted as normal. After some playing with the phone, I have found the phone doesn't seem to be entering debugging mode (when I plug in the cable with debugging mode activated, I just see a USB symbol and I can open the notifications menu and select it where it allows me to connect to phone to the computer as if in mass storage mode.) I am stuck and have no idea how to fix this. Anyone out there have any ideas?
I found out, with Gingerbread 2.3 you only hold the volume down button. Hope this helps others!
Did you perhaps also install a different bootloader? They change the shortcuts used to get into download or recovery mode sometimes, so try booting holding down just one volume up or down button.

Actually it is like this: recovery= volume down+ power and download mode= volune up+ power.

S2 I777 Won't Boot Rom, Won't Boot Recovery, Won't Boot Downloader HELP!

I charged my phone all night last night.
I woke up, phone was fine. Set it down on the couch, came back to it noticing beeping every 5 seconds or so, as if it was being plugged in and then unplugged repeadidly.
I also noticed that my phone though it was charging, even though there wasn't anything charging it.
Wiped Battery Stats - Still Funky
Cleaned usb port/ battery with nail polish remover - Still Funky
Updated ROM (newest ShoStock)
Phone would not get past the 'GALAXY s2' Black Screen.
No big deal right?
But now I can't load CWM from the internal memory AND I can't boot it from an SD card. It won't do anything besides give the black Samsung 'GALAXY s2" screen!!!!
When it is plugged in it won't even give me the Samsung screen, it just has a frozen charging screen on it.
HELP!? :crying:
Your title says "won't boot download" but what exactly did you do to try to enter download mode?

I forgot which it is
Vol Up + Power + Home (<--I think it's this one)
or
Vol Down + Power + Home
I've done them both.
Do you have AT&T SGSII, SGH-I777?
If so, then download mode is:
With phone off, hold vol- and vol+ (but not power) while plugging in the usb cable.

I followed your guide that I found elsewhere.
You are a god, my friend.
Thanks again (if my phone still has probs, at least I can send it back)
PEACE! :good:
Next time, maybe a bit of reading and searching would benefit you greatly. I'm not saying it to be rude, but it's what I and some others did and it really does help to have patience, not freak and post right away and just take a breath and search.

[Q] Broken power key, how to turn it on?!

Hi,
So, I somehow manage to break the button key (it's dead, I also opened the device and there is nothing to fix this), and the device is off, and I'm looking for a way to turn it on without the power key.
I tried to insert the battery while the phone is plugged but it won't help. I also tried to start it from the ADB but for some reason the computer don't read the phone (even in download mode).
What I think might help is to install any rom/kernel that turn on when the phone is plugged to the charger, if you know one that can be installed through the ODIN it might be helpfull.
Any other solution that will work will be good
Thanks

[Q] Won't boot - white screen with speckles looping

First off I searched the forums and looked at the thread suggestions as I was posting this but nothing is like what I'm experiencing.
I was in the process of using Odin to flash a ROM to my phone. My phone was in download mode but before I could start anything, my wife said she needed the phone. Now I know it said "do not turn off target" but at this point I had done nothing other than enter download mode. I figured I was safe so I unplugged the phone from the PC, tried to restart the phone, anddddd nothing. Black screen.
When I get home from work I try charging the phone. Not even the charging icon appears. I try plugging it into my computer and it IS recognized but the phone only shows a white screen. And then it reboots. White screen again. It keeps doing this. I have tried all kinds of button combinations and taking out the battery/putting it back in. I took a video of my problem but it appears I can't post links where I am a new user. If you would be so kind as to google "youtube geiger9" you should get to the video pretty quickly.
What can I do about this?

I think it's important to note that your phone is a T959P Telus.
Yeah, if you had not tried to odin anything yet it would be safe to unplug
I'm not super familiar with this model but I'll try and offer some help
Will it go into download mode with battery out and then connecting to a charger?
I would try and remove your sd card, sim card (i believe this model has one?) And your battery when connecting up to use odin.
After you have safely made an odin connection you can reinstall your battery
Also, try rebooting your pc with phone usb unplugged,,,
If still fails
try different usb port,,,
If still fails
Try different usb cable,,,

First off thank you for replying.
I tried the steps you suggested but it isn't working. Without the phone plugged in to the computer pushing the vol up/down and power buttons does nothing. I can't seem to enter download mode again no matter what combination of buttons I press.

Yeah It is only supposed to go into download mode by:: if you remove battery and connect to a charger/usb to it,,, or by having battery in and holding volume down while connecting charger/usb

[Q] Leagoo Elite 2 Boot Loop-tried everything!!

Went to do a wireless update on phone and it crapped out. It's my first android and i've tried everything:
Android drivers download, All MTK Usb Drivers
Sp-Flash, won't work because the phone keeps rebooting and i can't update driver
Put Leagoo firmware version 5 then 8 on sd card and it wouldn't let it install
Flashboot wont work adb will connect through sideload but no help
PdaNetA4150 won't work
I don't think i put it in debugging mode, i remember looking at it and thinking i should check it out some time!
First off all:
Make sure you can get your device turned off: using the Power + Volume up + Volume Down combination
or hold Power for 10 SECS! (count slowly)
or removing the battery (only when it's not integrated!)
Then hold the volume down or volume up while connecting your phone with a USB cable connected to the computer ( this should get you into a sort of flashing mode...)
Reply when this worked plz.
Greetings
