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.

You must press the volume down+home+power button and let go at the right time

You could try flashing stock 6.0.1 firmware doing the following:
1) Find your firmware here ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920F/) and download the correct one. (Extract to desktop after)
2) Download Odin 3.10.7 ( http://odindownload.com/ ) and open.
3) Click 'AP' and select the firmware you downloaded (May take a few minutes for it to load)
4) Turn phone off, put into download mode (Hold Volume down, Home button and Power button) and continue
5) Connect phone to laptop (while in download mode) and when it says 'Added' in Odin, click start.
Only solution I could think of to fixing your problem, remember to back up all data if you're going to flash.
Also clear cache before flashing firmware. (Phone off, hold volume up and power) and select the option, then go ahead and do your thing

I had to flash 6.0.1 for my UK unlocked phone and all went well, try the same firmware I used: (If your phone is UK and unlocked):
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/66426/G920FXXU3DPBG_G920FBTU3DPB1_BTU/, BUT without the pit file, when I messed my phone up, I downloaded the firmware only from this link, just one file, and flashed it without pit or anything else (and everything went perfect). Might be able to help you too, if not then I'm not sure what else to do
EDIT: Also, after flashing and everything is done, you MAY have to turn on using safe mode (only on first time), I had to as it wouldn't go past the samsung logo first time after flashing. Phone does NOT actually go into safe mode, but gets it to boot correctly (Not sure why, or how it worked after, but it did)

Well if you've flashed and the firmware boots up fine, then just ignore the last part.
If not, and you get the same problem as me:
Make sure phone is off. turn on as normal (but while holding the volume down button until phone fully boots), do NOT hold the power button all the way though, just volume down

N920PSPT2BPD1_SPR tar

Hello pals,
I haven't see this around here but here is the original PD1 tar for sprint also you can root and do the same as the previous update.
how to install.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF BATTERY TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE.
Then press the vol down + power + home button. This puts you into “Download Mode”.
NOW plug your phone in and let Odin recognize it
Let’s click on the START button at the bottom of ODIN and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SCREEN.
The phone will reboot and start up Android, and this is fine for this portion of the process.
It will reboot and you ready to go.
if you want to root again Installing TWRP the same way with odin reboot to recovery and install “SuperSU-v2.71-N920p.zip”

[HELP!!] Hardbrick after installing TWRP

Hi guys,
So today i tried to install TWRP on my Galaxy S8+ with odin
after reboot it asked for somekind of reset so i did but TWRP wasnt installed.
I tried it again but before it rebooted i checked if TWRP got installed and still no TWRP
so i flashed it again without booting in to the phone.
Phone reboots.. well actually NOT.
its not booting up and keeps showing me the Samsung Galaxy S8+ text with powered by Android below.
So now i tried to flash the stock firmware again but odin keeps saying FAIL (DeviceInfo).
i only can get into download mode, recovery mode buttons doesnt work.
also tried it with Smartswitch & Kies but after downloading the firmware it wont recognize my phone.
Please someone help? i really dont know what to do anymore...

You can download Samsung Smart Switch and choose the emergency software recovery option. You'll loose everything on the phone but it sounds
as if you're already there.
It will ask for your phone serial and exact model no., then it will download the latest release and install.
Usually will work from the screen your on, but if a prob., boot into download mode.

What device model do you have?
I assume its a 955F or FD?
Please dont tell me you have a U version.
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, S7 edge or S6

1. Download earlier firmware AQF7
2. Hold power, volume down and bixby button for download mode
3. Open Odin on your PC
4. Add the AQF7 BL and only this
5. Hit start and straight after this hold the 3 buttons in again power, volume down and bixby (this should fail at first and bring you straight back into download mode)
6. Now back on Odin spam the start button this time (this should flash the BL and have you sorted again)

This - you probably have the newer AQG5 bootloader, which TWRP doesn't support yet.
So follow the instructions above, flash back to the previous bootloader, the you'll be able to flash TWRP ok.

I had the same issue once before. What the fail device info. I think I fixed it by using the most recent update (I think). And messing around with csc files. All this was done half assed in desperation. Then went back to the unlocked firmware and stopped messing with it. Yes Smart switch didn't do crap. Use updato.com to obtain your firmwares

press and hold your phone’s volume up button for 10-15 seconds.
2. Next, without letting go of the volume up button, press and release the power button once. It will display a menu.
3. Navigate around the menu using the volume button.
4. Select Reboot System Now and your phone should be rebooting
Alternatively, you can do the following:
1. When any of the three appears, press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.
2. Then, without letting go of the power button, press and release the volume up button, once. It will display the same menu.
3. Select Reboot System Now and your phone should reboot.

Tried it now, still the same results. Thanks tho for constantly replying to my thread sir.

up please, still didn't solve my problem.

Check to see if you're running the latest odin. New odin software should be 3.13.1. Make sure to right click and run as administrator when running the application. You could also try using different computers and USB cables. Unlikely but if it works, it works.
Also, try downloading the file from a different website, there's a possibility that the file is corrupted. https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model/
