I have tried Vol UP/DOWN+HOme+Power also but the device
does not enter recovery mode. Till the buttons are pressed the device
boot up remains halted. Once I release power button the device boots
normally.
Pls help

Great to know that. but how?
Pls tell me the exact sequence you employed.
I am pressing first Vol UP and then Home button
and while keeping these pressed I am pressing
power button. Samsung model number is flashed
for few seconds and then screen goes blank and
remains blank unless I release the power button.
Once I release the power button the phone boots
normally. Pls help.

You need to press and hold the home button LIGHTLY and just press the power button. DO NOT HOLD the power button just press it.

Good work. Thanks

hi
if i root with this method, and then hard reset my device then will i have to root it again or it will remain rooted after hard reset.
is there any method of unrooting?
explain me some details of the risk involved in rooting, i have purchased the phone last week and dont want to loose it so early. can i brick my phone while rooting?
is it possible to fix the bricked phone?
thank you in advance, and sorry to ask too many questions, but i am new to android.
i have flashed many symbian phones with CFW but in symbian i can always restore original FW if the CFW didnt work or something went wrong. I am learning android please help me...

If you follow any instruction to the letter, there won't be a chance of bricking
You can unroot any time by flashin a stock ROM.

You need to press the home key LIGHTLY. Pressing too hard will press the adjacent key/s. I had the same issue, but once I learnt to press the home key lightly it works consistently all the time.

off topic: do you guys have problem when holding the touch on this device?(like when you have to change a icon position on the launcher)

@abbas
You said in your first post "I modified this update.zip file for Galaxy y pro ...". Could you please give me a link or post the original update zip for the Galaxy y pro (not your modified one for the duos), please?
thanks in advance

thanx a ton Abbas, tried all possible methods till i read ur advise and it worked in one strike, appreciate it.
Thank you once again.
For the benefit of other members who are trying a factory reset if you have forgotten the password, once you get into the recevoery mode you will be prompted for a password again. Do not worry, enter incorrect password 3-4 times before you get a warning for a factory reset by the system, click on yes and you are back to your new phone (of course if you do not have your data backed up, it will be lost) Also, please ensure to remove your sd card before the factory reset to avoid loss of data.
Hope this helps all.

thank you abbas for root package, can you provide the unroot zip package also. it will be great to have method to unroot for all the users because in the worst case if we needed to go to samsung people..
thanks for the root package, rep+

Flash any stock rom with pc Odin, wil make totally stock rom.
Usually unroot tools leaves some foot print on device. So above said method is best n safest.

When I used SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse to root my phone it showed no device connected after some time. Actually, Samsung Kies does not recognizes my device. Can you elaborate your process?
Trick of recovery mode worked!

Volume Up + Power button only
Volume UP + power button. thats it. no home button.

Gear S2 3G can't booting (only flashing "SAMSUNG GEAR S2"

I have a samsung s2 gear 3g of Korea, after a firmware update 3g gear s2 is to hang (can't booting, only flashing "SAMSUNG GEAR S2")
how to get back to normal, whether by means of Odin?
and how to flash rom using Odin?
any body help me ?
Thank U

Hi, have you tried recovery mode?*
-switch off device*
-press and hold Power button, till you get the Samsung Gear Rebooting.. Screen.*
-press power button several times very short
-the bootloader menue should open
-select recovery by pressing the power button.*
-apply selection by pressing and holding the power button*
After that your watch should reboot in to recovery system. Then you can recover your old settings*
Pls try it.*
BR*
Benedikt

Dear Benni;
I have tried to position recovery mode and all the procedures I have done, but still have not succeeded.
still come out blinking "GEAR SAMSUNG S2"
What should I do ?
best regards
gdarwanto

Hi, if this is not working, you can just send back your watch or contact Samsung

I have a similar / same problem. I think I will need to get it to a service point.
While it performed a firmware update the HR-app did checked my heartrate and I guess this stopped the firmware update.
What now happens is: vibrate-samsung logo-screen off-repeat
When I use these steps:
-switch off device*
-press and hold Power button, till you get the Samsung Gear Rebooting.. Screen.*
-press power button several times very short
-the bootloader menue should open
-select recovery by pressing the power button.*
-apply selection by pressing and holding the power button*
The option recovery is not available, only continue download and Power off.
I guess there is no software left to recover.
Do you know if there is anything I can do myself now?
(There is no wireless download option also, only normal download)
With thanks and greetings wishing everyone a nice day

This just happened to me when installing the latest S2 update. Did you find any solution?

HELP: stuck in Smart Switch mode

Need serious help. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is soft brick I think.
I was able to go into recovery and download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER + HOME keys).
Now it's currently stuck in Smart Switch mode.
I cannot take out the battery so the phone cannot be switched off that easily.
Does anyone know how to get out of Smart Switch mode?

Press 'Power' + 'Home' + 'Volume -' for about 30 second, phone must restart that way. Just reflash your phone using latest Odin 3.12.7 (and latest Samsung USB drivers) to latest stock firmware for your model (you get it via SamFirm) then flash CF_AutoRoot & TWRP and do what you want!

I figured out how the DOWN POWER HOME button works only while usb is connected.
I can now use odin.. but now I get NAND failed during flash

So can be just hardware issue, for example eMMC broken.

check drivers or change usb port on pc/laptop

Yes you can check also on another cable or/and another USB-port or even on another PC... But I don't think so that help... Did you tried like I told HERE?

Help me out please!!! error installing twrp, the phone does not start, when logo appears, all the headers went green and then black screen!!

I saw a way to root an A30s, but when i did the procedure with odin in android 11, i got an error in download mode after odin finished, error Error Verifying VBMeta Image OK_NOT_SIGNED(3) and i saw a solution that was install the twrp to fix that, the set up in odin was sucessfull but after that my phone when i rebooted it show me the logo and the letters or headers of android and 5 seconds later all that goes green and the screen goes black, but i can access the internal storage, but is blanket, what should i do to fix my phone. Please help.........
​

I tried to make root my a30s and after i used odin i got this error with the patched firmware: Verifying VBMeta Image OK_NOT_SIGNED(3), and i saw a video with a solution that was installing twrp but that process destroy the android boot like i am showing in this video:
After the black screen the phone appears in windows, and you can see the internat storage and sd card but i dont know if there is a solution for this problem.
If somebody knows how to fix this, it will be awesome. Thanks for the attention.
​

you have to install twrp on your phone with Android 10, cause with android 11 doesnt work

Im stuck in that problem. I flashed twrp and after it my A30s only turn on if I press volume down + power, and then show the logo and got a black screen. In my computer open the internal storage. I cant acess recovery mode and download mode, I dont know what to do and idk if the a30s has bricked

Exactly the same happened to me and I can't access recovery nor download mode, same model aswell. It's probably bricked but we can still turn it on and the pc reads the storage even tho is encrypted or corrupted. I'll see if I can find any solution and I'll tell you. We f*cked up big time....
If you have the same problem get to work and let's try to fix it lol

I JUST F**CKING FIXED IT LIKE WHAT IN THE ACTUAL JESUS FRICKING CHRIST F**CK HAHAHHAHA LIKE I JUST SAID TO MYSELF "oh.... would that actually work?" GUESS WHAT IT WORKED FIRST TRY LMFAOOO
I guess you want to know how to unbrick it lol, here's how + ur welcome
Press down vol- + power until it powers on and keep on holding down, as you can see it keeps on rebooting as long as u keep on pressing down the buttons, now we have to get in download mode, its kinda tricky tho -
First put the usb into the charger BUT not completely, halfway. Now press vol- + power and hold until it restarts AND as soon as the screen goes black
1- completely connect the USB
2- release the power button (dont release the vol - button) and at the same time press the vol+ button
Thats it, u should've booted into download mode - if it didnt work and the screen went green and crashed, keep on trying and do it as quickly as you can. If you cant pull it off, ask me. at least your phone isn't bricked, it's only tricky to fix it.
Once you're in dowload mode, use EFTSU flash tool and flash it with your firmware version (you can find it in etsu . com)
and this time around be careful trynna twrp flash, me too ofc, i wont even do it anymore, i was just messing around lol
