Hi ok so my cousin gave me her old phone for me to use when i checked it has a cyanogenmod installed in it but it's having problems like after turning it on an error about DUI always comes up but there is only an "I am feeling lucky" option to click so i decided to flash XKP9 stock room back but i can't seem to get into recovery and or download mode. I tried pressing eveyrthing but everytime i release the power botton the Samsung logo appears then the cyanogen logo and it just turns on the device. any help on how i can flash the stock rom or how to get into recovery and download mode?
Go to settings/about phone/ tap 7 times nuild number and a new option is shown/developer options/ enable advanced reboot from here or just download an app like rebooter to do this.

Hi there. i flashed my SGS to the new 2.3.3 using Odin my kernel is DamianGTO beta 7 the problem is that i can get into recovery mode but i cant see the menu. instead i see the galaxy logo. i know that im in recovery mode because when i click the home button the phone reboots and start normally but when i go down with the volume buttons and click. the phone will not respond cause i clicked on some other option than the reboot. so what can i do in that case ?
and sorry for my bad english.
No one had this problem before? Im out of clues.
I have the same problem, so I'm too stucked now because CWM cannot boot into recovery mode too (i can only see the Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG logo ... it reboot by pressing home buttom, so my guess is the same as you, the recovery mode is there but you cannot see the menu... )
i have a samsung vibrant galaxy s. ive been up all night trying to fix this but i cant seem to find a solution. it appears im the only one with this problem. i recently tried to flash 2.2 froyo with odin and now my phone imediatly boots into recovery mode and the ok button which is the power button does not work to select an option but the up and down buttons work. i cannot boot into download mode to reflash, ive tried every button combination. i cannot get past the recovery mode screen when i turn on my phone. please help
I flashed CoreX rom on my i8262 and added some modules via xposed. When I tweaked my status bar icons in xblast and rebooted, all the apps that has settings on it (Settings, Xposed, Xblast) started crashing. Rom Toolbox didn't so I immediately rebooted into recovery and reflashed the rom. I noticed that there's no progress in the reflash for 20 minutes already, so I decided to remove the battery. Now I'm stuck on bootloop, and I can't seem to enter recovery mode. As for download mode, since I got this phone, I can't enter download mode (even before the incident happened. It will show the warning screen, but when I let go of the hard keys it will start to reboot.
Hope someone can help me with this one. Thanks in advance, guys.

Lol man...when it show the warning screen
U should read the instruction
U better press thanks if I helped
YOu're doing it wrong. lol
To enter the download mode, press the vol down + power + menu button together. Now as soon as the vibration starts, release the button. And you will be in the download mode.
Now flash recovery again and restore a backup
Ok, so I tried to root my phone using odin and cf auto but at the end of the process when my phone got rebooted I was stuck on the logo screen for ages and this small red text showed at the top saying something like recovery is not seandroid enforcing. So after searching through solutions I tried formatting the phone but when I tried to go into recovery mode it just rebooted back to the logo screen. So I then tried to reinstall the firmware but after doing this Odin said failed and then my phone got rebooted and is now stuck on the message "An error has ccured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." But Samsung Kies and Smart Switch says my device is not supported and when I try to go into recovery or download mode the phone just turns of and goes back to the error screen. Can anyone please help me. This is a new phone and my parents would kill me if they found out I screwed it up already.

Put your phone in download mode and use odin to flash ROM. It will work.
Good luck
1) smartswitch or kies wont work at all because you already tripped your knox
2) recovery is not seandroid enforcing <- this text shows you have custom recovery installed.
3) you possibly didnt turned knox off. settings>lock screen and security > find my mobile> there will be an option to switch it off
now solution
1st of all you havent bricked it! its soft bricked and not hard bricked(hard brick wont even turn on)
what you can do is let the battery drain off totally charge it and try to put it in download mode > odin > flash stock rom first(important step).
from there try to turn it on if it does you great. and dont use cf auto root if you are not familiar with it download some other roms which are way better than stock touchwiz,pre rooted and way better than it(like the note5 rom for s6 by arter).
by the way keycombinations >
downloadmode = vol down+home+power to switch off download mode vol down+ power only
recoverymode= vol up+home+ power
if you can put it in download mode follow my steps and hopefully you can,just keep trying

My phone wont go into download mode. When I press the button combination, the phone reboots and goes back into the screen saying the software error again. And the first time I tried to flash stock the phone is how the error message came up.

Ok so I let my phone completely drain of charge, then the second I put it on charge, the phone goes to the software error screen. Download mode just reboots phone into the error screen and recovery mode doesn't seem to do anything. Ill see if Odin recognizes the phone though
Ahm probably you missed something that could help you resolve your issue in much less time.
1. Press Vol Down + Power Button for 5 seconds until it reboots. After the screen is off then quickly switch to Vol down + Home + Power button to access download mode.
It is the key combination to safemode but it your case, it will just force restart your phone. No need to drain your battery.
2. Maybe most of the newbies always missed this part before doing anything to their phone. Backup (either on smart switch or Nandroid*best option)
3. You need to have proper samsung usb drivers installed and check in odin if your phone was recognized.
The only thing I see from your first post is that the firmware installation (odin) was interrupted. Please let it finished installing before doing anything in ur phone. Check faulty usb ports/usb cables to ensure your pc/laptop works well with ur s6.
Let us know how if u still encounter any issues.

do as the guy above said in 1st step thats a key step to put it in download mode
Thank you guys
The phone is all good now. It turns out that the software error screen was also the download mode. So I flashed the stock rom and everything is fine now. Thanks for the help.

Even though knox is tripped you can use smartswitch.
I know this because I have done it.
I rooted my phone, installed custom kernel, etc.
I then broke the screen, and since it was a hardware issue, I got it covered by my phone provider. (I am in Aus, we have different warranty laws compared to the USA.)
But I had to return it to stock. So I used Smartswitch to do so, even with knox tripped.
My phone is Galaxy S7 SM-G930F on stock Rom, bootloader,,,etc. Never flashed or rooted. During a call it froze and rebooted into Download mode.
Since then I am unable to reboot to any mode but Download mode. It exits by pressing power and down or all buttons together but boots only into download mode.
Before that I noticed that the phone was becoming hot during calls and battery life was much shorter.
Any Help with this problem?
Thanks
Try flashing the same ROM to the phone using Odin.
Sounds like you need to reflash the stock rom via Odin, but before you do that last thing to try before going down that route is to boot into recovery and do a wipe/reset. Be aware doing either of the aforementioned options will unfortunately mean loosing all your user data and apps.
I can't tell from your post but it seems that your handset seems to not want to stay off after pressing the power and volume down buttons? If this is the case then do the following to get into recovery -
Press power and volume down untill the phone powers off, then very quickly press and HOLD the "volume up, power and home" buttons to get into recovery before the phone has a chance to reboot. Then you will see the reset option to set the phone back to factory defaults.
If the above doesn't work then your gonna have to download the latest version of the stock rom from sammobile for your country and then follow this little guide on how to flash a stock tom via odin.
