[Q] Vol Down button doesnt work

Vol Down button doesnt work so is there any way to use vol up button as the DOWNLOADING mode to flash ROMS.
because if i press power and vol up..uploading mode comes instead if downloading mode comes it will be helpful for me to flash new ROMS.
I am sure Dharam,Hillbest and all will have a solution to this
PS: Samsung is asking me to replace the entire motherboard so i cannot give it to the service center costs $120

use this command
adb reboot download
Or in terminal emulator
su
reboot download
Or
Shut down phone
Connect cable and launch odin (with the phone still turned off)
Press power button
Odin will detect phone, quickly press on start, it'll go to download mode
Or
Boot into upload mode(vol up)
Launch Odin
Connect phone and press start

Use ADB and do adb reboot download. You can't change the buttons assignments as it is part of the bootloader and nobody is crazy enough to mess with it and risk a hard brick.
You could flash new ROMs using update.zips and system.imgs. If you root your phone you can install CWM and install a new ROM from in there.

You can use adb reboot download, or flash G3MOD kernel and boot into recovery and in extended power menu press download!

For download mode on your tab, you need to hold Power and Volume UP (not Down). Otherwise, you get into the recovery mode...

Yes. And you have to press Power or VolDown (I think?) to confirm -- it tells you right there. When you are finally in the download mode, you will see a message like "Downloading. Do not disconnect target..." That's when Odin should recognize your tablet and be able to start flashing.

You press Volume Down and Power. Until it appears the lobo you only keep pressing Volume down and dont power button.

[SOLVED] Lenovo A536 - how to reboot to recovery mode

Hello, I have a big problem with rebooting to recovery mode. I can reboot to recovery only with application. If I turn my phone off and then hold volume up + power, then I get black screen with only one yellow Chinese text on the very top left side and then after 1 minute it's get into Chinese recovery.. My question is: how to get into custom recovery without using applications like for example "Quick boot".
I need it, because I have to install ROM again, because I did a big mistake, when I deleted one file from the "system" folder. Now my phone boot without problem, but after that everything is lagging and all applications stop working, then it automatically reboot phone..
I can't flash firmware with SP Flash Tool, because of Windows drivers. My laptop does not recognize the phone. It says: "Unknown USB device".. That's why I need to get into custom recovery for installing ROM.
Thank you in advance for help.

This helped:
With the phone powered off
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button
When phone vibrates release power button only.
As the No Comman Screen release all buttons.
Press and hold the power button and tap the Volume Up button.
Release the buttons. You must get into recovery mode.

SM-A750F: How to exit download mode into recovery mode?

Hi,
A7 2018 (SM-A750F) vanilla
I am trying to flash TWRP on my phone using Odin: entered recovery (VolUp+Power), choose Bootloader to enter download mode, blue download screen is visible, flashed TWRP via Odin, Odin reports success.
But then, the only option to leave download mode is VolDown+Power which results in a normal boot which in turn restores the default recovery.
So what am i doing wrong? How can I exit download mode straight into recovery?
There is many tutorials on the web for A7 2018 but most seem to use different key-combi's that don't work on my phone.

When you're in download mode keep pressing all 3 buttons ( volume up + volume down + power), around 7 seconds. When the screen will go black, immediately remove your hold from " volume down" button and you will be left with two buttons. volume up and power which are used to go in recovery, when you'll hear a vibration. Remove your hold from all buttons and you'll find yourself in recovery mode
In simple steps (They're Same) :-
1. Press all Available Buttons (VOLUME +, - AND POWER BUTTON) For Around 7 Seconds
2. When Screen Goes Black immediately Remove Finger From Volume Down Button
3. Don't remove fingers from Volume up and power button ( keep hold onto them)
4. You'll hear a vibration
5. Remove your hold from those buttons too
6. Congratulations, you're into recovery mode

Yes, that worked.
However on my phone the combi to exit Download is Down + Power and for Recovery is Up + Power.

my samsung a7 2018 got stuck on download mode after i tried to download font chnger through magisk and then it asked me to reboot and now it is stuck download mode and it a loop

Question How to boot stright to TWRP from Download Mode

I'm kinda stuck here, praticing how to go right to TWRP from Download Mode. I did the Volume Down + Power to Reboot, then Volume Up + Power Straight away when the screen turns off.
The trouble is, there is a root warning that requires me to release all buttons and press Power to continue, which messes up going to Recovery. I'm on S9080, any tips would be apperciated, trying to upgrade to Android 13

In order to go to TWRP:
a) Power off you phone, i.e. if you are in Download Mode you go for "reboot" and then you power down your phone manually
b) if you want to somehow go "straigt" from Download Mode to TWRP (e.g. because you are stuck in a boot loop, like me) you can try the following:
1) You are in Downlod mode
2) You attach (or keep attached) the USB cable!
3) You tell Download mode to reboot
4) You wait for the moment when you phone has powered down during the reboot cycle (the phone should vibrate for a sec)
5) Then you press the home + volume up button.
Note: It is important that during step 5 the USB cable is connected, because starting TWRP needs *three* things: USB attached + Home button + Volume up
Maybe this works.
