when I press volume down + power + home buttons it get me on a screen which says "select boot mode" which has three options
1-Recovery mode
2-fastboot mode
3-normal boot
but none of these three works
same issue with volume up as well
my device is rooted
when I power on the device it starts showing adds, automatically starts downloading different apps nothing works.
plz tell me what should I do
I think you should approach the service centre.
Because when I do that my device shows
I think that the app you used to root has accessed the boot loader partition and did that. Approach a service center And don't tell them that you rooted your phone.
And many people have this problem. I think you must wait.

Hi, I'm stuck in an app F/C loop and have read about entering 'Safe Mode' to load only system apps (NB: NOT the same as 'recovery mode' or bootloader.) I've tried all combinations of buttons till my fingers nearly bleed:
Hold down volume up & down during boot
Hold down menu "
Hold down home "
Hold down menu & home "
Can someone give me a precise instruction of what definitely works to get the Nexus S into "safe mode" please?
holding the power button continuously even after its into booting usually does it for me.
Sadly this does nothing on my Nexus S 3G. I remove battery, insert battery, hold power, and wait till it's fully booted. No safe mode. Is that right? Can you test again?
Try reinstalling your rom then fixing permissions

What exactly is your F/C loop? Do you mean a boot loop, or an app F/C on you continually?
If it's the later, how is it stopping you from using your phone?
Just trying to understand to help you.
actually it's my first time hear something about safe mode ...
if it is an application force close , try flash new ROM , this usually happens due to too many applications on your system
beside , consider the number of application of Android , i'm sure you can find some application similar
Holding down the menu button during boot up works for me

You can entery into SAFE MODE easy. Shut down your phone after that keep and don't let down volume and power till the pone is completaly open , now you can release it. You will see in the lower left corner "Safe Mode" - normal you are in realy SAFE MODE, try this till you will see the message. It's work for I9023 and perhaps for the rest.
Holding volume down + power during the full boot process worked for me. Thanks
Please help me! I own a galaxy s6 (international model, official, not rooted) which is stuck in a boot loop from hell. The led is white (not the usual "boot-up blue") and won't change colour or even turn off. It was the last straw a few hours ago when it randomly restarted, got stuck halfway through the Samsung logo and started making the loudest noise I've ever heard it produce. It was NOT a vibration. Ever since then, it has just been stuck and keeps restarting. When it does get past the "Samsung Galaxy S6" screen it just says 'no command' with the android lying on its back. I'm at a complete and utter loss. It's actually done this a few times this week, but I've always been able to at least boot it into safe mode and uninstall snapchat - which I think is the cause of all this. I can't power off the device, and even when the battery drains completely, the same 'no command' screen appears as soon as it's plugged in. I can't boot it in recovery mode as I can't get it to switch off. I think it may be battery related or even motherboard related. I can't even seem to bypass the 'no command screen. It's just sitting on my floor, charging, overheating and looking all smug. Frankly, I'm pretty damn close to hurling it out of my window.
Also, does anyone know WHY the led is sometimes white or yellow during a boot loop on newer Samsung Phones?
Put the phone in download mode by holding Power + Home + Volume Down buttons. Plug in to Odin and Flash Official Firmware or use SmartSwitch

Thanks but I've tried this several times. The device seems to be completely unresponsive to all commands except a force restart (power key and volume down). I can't put it in download mode or even power it off
have u tried using smart switch emergency firmware recovery? power key and volume down should force it to power down, than enter download mode vol down + home + power key.

Whenever I use this combination of keys it just restarts and it doesn't even show up on Smart Switch when connected to my mac
if you are not be able to take your phone to download mode then repair center is the only solution.

Yeah. It looks like I have no other choice
Hi guys, this is my very first thread so here goes nothing,
I recently damaged my S8 + power button and it is no longer operational, however i have been able to boot to download mode and reset device after it going flat and not turning back on and staying in a bootloop while plugged in. Any way so my new problem is that it went flat again and i plugged it into charge and it automatically boots into recovery mode and when i manage to get it into download mode pressing volume up or down does not work. Any way to fix this and get my phone back up and running?
I can definitely see that being a ***** because you need the power button in sequence with Bixby and a vol button to get to download mode or recovery. Id prob root the phone and install quick shortcuts app that gives you on/off/reboot/restart/ options it might help you. But replacing the power button is a simple procedure and I'm sure it's very cheap to. Id fix that button and problem solved.
I have a Galaxy S6 with a faulty power button.
I took it to a Samsung Repair Centre.
After "diagnosing" the problem (which I had to pay for), I was told that the faulty power button was due to "liquid damage" (it has never been in water everything else works fine).
They said it would cost £180 to repair and would require they replace the whole motherboard.
I refused as I cannot afford that repair and would rather consult a third party shop or purchase a brand new phone.
Unfortunately, the state I received the phone back in unusable.
Before the phone was sent in, it was at least in a state where I could at least use it (providing I kept it charged and did not power it off).
Now its just stuck in a recovery mode => restart => no command (boot loop), and I cannot select an option from the recovery mode screen because the power button does not work.
I planned to flash the stock firmware to try in order to get it out of this loop, and I can get it to boot to download mode as the volume buttons and home button work fine.
However, now when I'm at the cyan warning screen it prompts me for volume up to continue.
I press volume up and nothing happens. I know that these buttons work for a fact as in recovery mode I can navigate up and down.
Any ideas whats going on? or what I should try next?
Videos of the issue
(Tinfoil theory: Did they purposefully lock down download mode after inspecting it?)
If you have time, continuously keep pressing volume up and power until it gets you into Odin. Best of luck.
We're on slightly different devices, but mine has the same defect. The power button failed overnight, it worked to start the device but afterwards, the power button became stuck in the pressed state and I couldn't lock the device (not mechanically, it is still clicky). The volume down button still worked (I don't have to hold power to force a restart because it's stuck in the pressed state), I wanted to take a look at the knox status in the download mode, it didn't respond to volume up, this means that it's dependent on not having power pressed. I somehow got the restart confirmation to show with the power button, twice, so it's not completely defective. The volume down button cycled through being stuck and non-clicky, working normally, and being stuck while being mostly clicky, like the power button, though it doesn't seem to be stuck in the pressed state. It's likely because I kept pushing Volume Down for hours in a terminal emulator. Today, it takes 5 mins of torturing Volume Down to restart the device. Eventually, it might fail completely. This device seems to be able to ignore volume up / down if those buttons are stuck and work almost completely normally.
Hi Everyone,
Phone decided to randomly turn off (at around 80% charge) and now won't boot. Have tried all the basic TS guides.
have tried:
-Charging - no on-screen displays
-Holding power button for various intervals
-Button combinations (Power + vol up....etc)
Connecting to PC gives me an indication that it has detected a USB connection, then consistently after ~40s I get the disconnect notification sound. Then off for 20s and the the cycle repeats.
I'm assuming it is stuck in bootloop for some reason but still nothing from the screen.
Phone hasn't been dropped, rooted, is running stock ROM etc...
any ideas?
Assuming the bootloop isn't caused by hardware failure then you can try forcing your phone into its Recovery mode by holding down the power button and volume down button simultaneously. From here, you may be able to roll your phone back or restore a previous backup. However, this often results in data loss, which isn't ideal, so you might have to weigh up your options.
If this doesn't work, you'll need to enter your smartphone's Safe Mode. When your phone is booting, and you see the manufacturer's name appear, press and hold the volume down button to put your device into Safe Mode. Here, you can follow prompts to hopefully remove whatever program, app, or software updates forced your phone into a bootloop.

It won't boot at all, the screen doesn't turn on. But surely something like this doesn't just randomly fail
My recommendation: take phone to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.
