You need to press VOL - first, then press HOME key without letting go of VOL -, then press POWER button. When you feel the unit vibrates you can let go of POWER button until Downloading mode is displayed.
hi,
i do c the android logo on d scree with the text message, odin can see the deivce on com5, but just stays at the line saying connecting to deivce. The phone it self is working, but i am not happy with the upgrade, so wanted to roll back. Please help me solve this problem. The rom i upgraded to was I9003JPKP5.
The mistake i did, i think, wast not to upgrade to kpe first and then come up to kp5, i directly did a kp5, misssed that part.
Please Please help.

you need to flahs xxkpe twice to avoid camera problem too.
Weird!!!!!!!!
Tell me the method using which you flashed the firmware. Give me all the steps!
I will tell you where you went wrong!
U need to switch the phone off to get to download mode.
Also XXKPH is a final GB release. Install that by first flashing XXKPE twice, then using the single XXKPH file as the PDA in Odin with nothing else.

hi friends,
thanks for your help. I was able to get to the download menu, i removed the battery and inserted it back and used the assigned keys to get to it, the reflashed the same set of files i had, now i am getting the download menu and the camera is working fine.
Will download KPE and follow the instructions given on XDA step by step for the upgrade.
Thanks a lot for you help. I really appritiate it.
Hi. I tried the method up there to go to download mode but so far I can't get there. It's so weird. I can go to the recovery mode but not the download mode. Are there any more methods to go to download mode? I press all three buttons for roughly 1 min but no vibration at all. after I let go the power button, it go to the startup and stuck there.
Thanks in advance for any opinion.

I NEED TO KNOW DID I BURN IT OR THER IS A WAY TO SOLVE IT ?
THANKA
For the recovery you have to press the power + the central button, and when the samsung logo compares, keep pressed only the central button.
Once in the recovery, do a wipe/data factory reset and try to reboot.
If you don't understand something or if i haven't understood your problem, please reply
dear, i am really thankful for your replay, my problem is my phone is dead, i can't log into recovery mode (by the way you mentioned ) i just can inter to download mode, so i tried to use ODIN to replace the rom and rerooting the phone, but no luck.\
the odin finish his job perfectly and it mentioned that ( wait your phone until reboot) but my phone didn't show and logo or any thing just the secreen flashing shy light .
i really so appreciate your concern
Ok, so you can't go to recovery mode, don't you?
But, now can you go to downloading mode?
If you can, try to reflash the stock rom.
Go to samfirmware.com
Sign up
go to "firmwares and files"
insert the type, os and model of your phone and your country
download the rom and the flashprograms
And try to reflash
You can read that guide: http://yagyagaire.blogspot.it/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html#.UCexfBc0NIk
or somewhere here on xda
Please tell me if you solve and good luck!
thanks again for your time, but unfortently i tried toooooo much and i flashed more than 4 roms from sammobil but no luch.
i can inter to download mod normally but i cannot inter to recovery mode, when i flash rom throu odin it's goes normally but when the phone reboot same think happen (nothing just back light flashing ).

Download odin and stock rom files to flash with odin (make sure you use correct files or a brick will happen)
Shutdown the phone (if needed hold power button 10+ seconds until bootloop stops).
Plug phone into computer and turn the phone on and as the phone vibrates release the power button, then hold down the volume down button and home key. then follow onscreen instructions.
for flashing instructions please search the mobile section of these forums.
I followed all the intrusions given and the only thing that as changed is the cwm. its still stuck on the Samsung screen and not moving.

I think I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I

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.

SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 ACE SM-J110H wont turn on, neither go in recovery or download mode

my friends j1 ace was having a bootloop issue, no custom rom, no root, just a stock phone.
i used odin v3.09 to recover his phone, odin completed its task within 3-4 minutes then the phone vibrated, odin stated : Passed and device removed while i didnt unplug it but the phone is now not booting up, cant go in download mode or recovery mode. there is no vibration when pressing the power button, battery level was ok as it was charged for around 2hrs before starting this work
Any help will be really appreciated.
