I heard some people have broken power button where the power button is always in the "enabled" state, and that will cause volume buttons to not work. I wonder if you have the same issue though, if thats the case you will have to either replace the power button or send it to Samsung.
I don't have the Nexus S right now, but have to tried the command: adb reboot recovery. Also I thought you can boot directly into recovery by power + volume up.

If your power button is broken you are stuck there on that screen.
Does the phone boot up into the os? If so reboot into recovery from the os. If you flashed a ROM I assume its rooted. Can use any app that allows booting into recovery ( quickboot goomanger ROM manager ROM toolbox etc) or in terminal type such and hit enter. Then type reboot recovery and hit enter.

the problem is the i did a flash a rom and now the rom dont boot up or anything and i did a back up but i cant use the buttons to make a selection to get into recovery over the fast boot as i show in the picture!
the only way i get into the fastboot is holding the volume up and connect the usb into the port and them get into the fast boot screen but no more from there

That's what I figured. At that point you are pretty much screwed,
You need to get the power button to work / unstick so you can fastboot in order to do anything.

Hi there. Have you figure a solution. I ran into the EXACT SAME ****ty situation and samsung says they have no fix no parts for it!

Samsung can fix it if you send it. The solution is to get your power button repaired. There's nothing else to really do.

Unless they got the part, then it's a no. Every so said "solution" ends up failing, you're just pushing a bit the date. Only replacing it really works.

i have temp fix
this is what i did may be you can fix it like this
i take off the battery out,
place back
Hold down volume and power
now connect the usb cable from the pc
keep holding the buttons we dont need to go into bootloader, if you can see the lower lights on you okay
now check the usb icon in your computer and if your computer recognize you are cool
Now before i have this problem i did a back up of my rom and i install touch recovery
now you have to see your options and if you have the twr recovery even better since you can transfer files over your phone while in recovery mod
okay i did install this toolkit
Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
and since my computer recognize the usb and my nexus phone
i did get into reboot recovery mode in the advanced utilities you can figure out the rest since i dont know much!
since i did a back up i just restored and i did flash another rom which let you wake up the phone by the volume key
so i transfer the rom files and flash then while on recovery mode try installing the goomanager to get into recovery since this means your power button dont work
this is the rom
CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 14 Hybrid Mix ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
if you have luck flashing this rom
just go into CyberGR-MOD in the setting section and select lockscreen options and check volume wake
now to lock the phone just install any app from play store like Lock Screen Widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget
and remember if you battery dies, just connect it into charger or usb cord and the phone ll boot again
Hope this help some of you who have this problem
thanks and any question i ll check later!

Galax S7 does not turn on – Nothing works

Hi,
today in the morning I couldn’t turn on my S7. It went off while charging overnight. Then I tried to hold the volume down and the power button together for twelve seconds and the S7 turned on. Unfortunately it just boots to the Samsung logo and nothing happens since then.
I wrote to the Samsung support and they told me to send it in. And they also said that I will lose my warranty if I make a hard reset. Is that true? Because the other thing is, that I really need some very important data from just one app. I already did a hard reset in the past and the data from this app didn’t get lost. I don’t know why (no cloud synchronization) but it worked. My plan was to try a hard reset but my phone is fully charged and I cannot turn it off to get into Recovery mode.
So basically I have three questions:
1. Will I lose my warranty if I do a hard reset?
2. Is there any possibility turn off my phone or to unload my battery? (And after that to try a hard reset.)
3. Does anyone have any idea how to save some date by any other way?
Thank you very much for any help!

Samsung are full of sh** if they told you you would lose warranty by performing a full reset, nothing of the sort
Warranty is checked by KNOX 0x0 = valid (Or 0x1 if it is tripped) which is only tripped by flashing something custom / rooting
Try booting into recovery and clearing only the caches, see if you can get back in that way
Otherwise, flashing the same stock ROM over the top with ODIN may work

Thank you for your answer.
Any idea how to boot into recovery mode? The problem is that in the moment I cannot turn off my phone and it's fully charged. I guess it would last some days to wait until the battery is empty. And unfortunately you can't remove the ****ing battery.

Volume up & Home & Power
Keep those buttons held in until the phone reboots, continue holding them and it should reboot a 2nd time, this time hopefully entering recovery
You can try the same for download mode, which is the same combo, only volume down instead of up

I did this combo. Following message did pop up:
"Warning

First i pressed the volume down button and then nothing happened and it booted again until the Samsung logo. In my second try I pressed the volume up button and now I am here (see attached pics).

Well that's download mode where you can flash the stock ROM with ODIN, so you can at least flash stock again, which may work, but I would try recovery first though, the first combo I posted with Volume Up

I tried the combo with the vol up key and I came to the exact same menu which I described above. (Then I pressed the volume down key and the phone boooted to the Samsung logo).
Now only the combo with the vol down key works. If I press vol up + home + power nothing happens. I don't get this ****.

OK, it's possible that recovery got corrupted then
Right, so grab a stock ROM from here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=G930F
Extract and Load the .MD5 into ODIN AP section
Put the phone into download mode and hit start
It should reboot hopefully into a working OS
if not, try entering recovery again

No, as I said earlier, warranty is only affected if you flash something custom
Stock Samsung ROMs are not custom

For a very short time my phone startet adnroid, but everyhing was black und I just saw the notifications bar. I couldn't do anything. After that my phone did a reboot and now I am again at the Samsung logo. The combi with vol up still doesn't work.

You managed to download and flash a stock ROM in that short time?
Might need to flash the entire set of files from the ROM download in ODIN, which I think might reset the phone with one of them (HOME I think)
EDIT - Another option would be firmware recovery using SmartSwitch
http://www.samsung.com/uk/smart-switch/samsung-desktop-app.html

Good day.
Recently happened to me something similar, while i was playing, the phone rebooted and got stuck at samsung logo.
The phone was rooted, with TWRP and Xposed.
Really don't know what happened. At the time, in panic, i flashed a stock ROM and the phone never booted again. Just a blank screen and a blue led.
I sent my phone to Samsung for warranty and 1 month later (5 days ago), got it back working, even with KNOX 1x0.
In most of Europe, Samsung cannot charge you anything even if the phone was rooted, with the exception if it was root that directly caused the malfunction.

I am having the same problem. the combo with Vol up does not work. Any further help, PLEASE?

Recover unbrick OP6

Hello guys,
I need your help.
Yesterday, my phone hangged and got stuck at Qualcomm Crash Dump mode.
I was just able to enter Fastboot (Power + Volume down button) but it won't wipe date, reset to factory or enter any other mode, it would just get black and do nothing, without possibility to launch the OS.
So, I used MsmDownloadTool to reformat it with the enchilada_22_H.07_180513 ROM.
The tool succeded to download the firmware to the phone but now, when I power it on, it just go directly to fastboot and whatever I do (Start, Recovery mode, Restart bootloader), it restarts directly in fastboot mode.
The problem is my device is not unlocked (I never rooted it) so I can't use the command "fastboot oem unlock"...
Due to the use of MsmDownloadTool, I know that I won't be able to recover the data but I would like to know if there is any possibility to make the phone usable again.

Try using different versions of MSM, I used the one which had OOS 5.1.5 and it successfully booted after it showed success in MSM

Thanks for your answer.
Problem is I can't use MSM as my phone is not detected anymore. It automatically boots on fastbood mode when I plug it on my computer.

I don't see the COM port "Qualcomm device" as before using MSM.

Try this:
when in fastboot mode power off the device from there and wait for 10-15 seconds once powered off then, hold the volume up button for 5-10 seconds and as you are holding it, connect your device to USB, let me know if this works or not

Ok, I will try it sunday and 'll tell you.

Hum.. doesn't seem to work...
Tried with enchilada_22_O.09_180517 ROM but when it completes the download, it just boots with the OnePlus logo (photo) then keeps black with the cyan LED light.
Is there a way for me to diagnose what's wrong ?

you know, this usually happens with me but not on this screen, you know the screen where it says "bootloader unlocked"(if it's unlocked), there's one glitchy line on the screen and when that line appears that means something's wrong and then the phone crashes to crashdump mode but usually I get out of it by simply pressing power button but it seems like the crashdump problem is different for everyone, so coming back to your problem either the flashing is going wrong or something is off, seems like even the only solution is not working for you, I can only suggest you to try it again but if even that doesn't work then I don't think there's any solution left.
PS. I hope that you are putting your PC/Laptop in test mode before performing MSM operations.

Question Recovery mode OneUI 5

Hi. I try to boot the device to recovery mode but unable to enter recovery mode I'm sure I did the right way as per YouTube a description but still unable. did Samsung change the way to enter recovery mode?

It would be better if you mentioned what exactly you did rather than say you did it correctly. I hope you might knowing, now a days you needs to keep device connected to PC while reboot to recovery.

Power off device , then connect USB C cable to device. I connect my SanDisk SSD to the other end off the cable. It should work also with USB C stick.
Push volume up and power button and hold them till your device boots in recovery mode.
If you connect your device to a laptop ,it may start charging, making it more difficult to enter recovery mode.

In this case, don't power off but connect device to PC and reboot device (force reboot (keep holdingvol down +power) if you are in bootloop ) as soon screen goes blank, hold power + vol up and you will be in twrp

Go into Magisk.

Still the same, simple operation on my SM-S980U1(Android12): turn off the phone, hold both vol+ and power until you see displayed 'Samsung' - let the power button go and after a few seconds(keep pressing vol+) you should see the recovery mode screen right away.

The problem was from the USB cable after changing the cable the device can boot normally to Recovery

I have a factory unlocked S 22 Ultra, model SM-908U1.
Did it yesterday with only using the volume UP button and the power button, in order to clear system cache. Did it again just now. Worked fine, just as it did on Note 10+ and on Note 8, etc.
Turn off phone.
Hold down volume UP button, then hold down power button at the same time.
When "Galaxy" appears (after Samsung), let go of power, but keep holding down volume UP.
After a few more seconds, recovery menu appears.
Phone is stock, purchased a this week. On October 1, 2022 Security patch.

May be it's only on "U" version

[Help Fixing unusual bricked] samsung sd-t510

Hello everyone im glad to be at your presence but not for great issue.
Ive bricked my tablet, softbricked that turned into hardbricked. Long story short:
1 unlocked boot loader
2 installed twrp
3 installed wrong version of postmarketos
4 cannot boot into OS but in recovery mode
5 in recovery mode Ive updated twrp with a unstable version
6 cannot boot in recovery mode
7 cannot boot into twrp, cannot boot already into OS
8 RESULT: completly fail, not recovery mode, not twrp, not os. Only bootloop samsung logo and the message warning that the boot loader is unlocked, forever.
9 solutions failed count: pushing buttons to enter download / recovery mode, using fastboot from the pc, using adb from the pc in both cases the program awaits devices forever never showing the brick, already change usb port and cable.

your samsung device have fastboot? sure it's sd-t510?

Hello, sorry i mean sm-t510
Im not sure if it has it , but I have run it from windows as last resort to unbrick the device, I ve run adb but nothing.

Re-flash tablets's Stock ROM by means of ODIN. Requires matching Samsung's Android USB drivers gets installed on PC.

you don't need adb. you can enter odin download mode when tablet is powered off completely. hold volume down + power for ~ 30 sek to force power down. if nothing works let battery drain (may take up to ~ 7 days)
when device is powered off, press and keep holding Volume down + plug in usb wall charger until you see blue screen. then press volume up to confirm odin mode. you can now let charge for ~ 5 min
for flashing connect to PC, install drivers, use Odin3 for full flash BL + AP + CP + CSC.
Note the current bootloader level is important when flashing stock ROM. you can't downgrade bootloader, choose wise which Android version you want to flash.
for example
RP SWREV: B:5 = 5
T510XXU5CVG2 = 5
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T510

IT cannot, by any means login in bootloader or dowload mode. I already tried pushing and mantaining vol up + power button and any other combination.

let it boot-loop until battery is drained (see my previous comment)

Already did that, i gets in the same loop, even I disconnected the battery , reattched it , let it run dry, just connecting the power cable. Everything went to bootloop forever until the battery run dry.

if you disconnected battery (you did open back cover?) press and keep holding Volume down + plug in usb wall charger + connect battery (in this order)
you can use a hair tie or something.
other combination for older Samsung devices: Volume Down + Home + Power
the volume keys determining boot mode are read from aboot_init() function. this is way before boot or recovery mode is loaded. if you can reach boot-loop, for sure you have passed aboot before.

Im for sure that I ve pushed the vol down , vol up+ power, the vol up and down combination in the exact same order you gave me and it keep looping for centuries

... then fix your volume down button
as I said odin mode is decided from sboot. it will work. unless you flashed modified sboot* with download mode forcefully disabled, like retail or MDM software.
*partition name varies abl/sboot/aboot/uboot/lk
press and keep holding before device get powered on by USB plug:
- VOLUME_DOWN and HOME keys for old samsung devices
- VOLUME_DOWN key for new samsung devices

Update: I gave you wrong advise. This tablet is bit different from other Samsung devices. as you already pointed out it requires both volume keys for download mode.
Magendanz said:
UPDATE: With the right timing, you can break out of a boot loop into Download Mode...but it's tricky:
Insert USB Type C cable connected to your PC
Press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys for exactly 7 seconds (hard reset)
Release the Power key and press and hold both Volume Up & Down keys (enter Download Mode)
If you don't see the blue bootloader unlock warning screen, keep repeating the above two steps
The trick here is that you're trying to time your switch to the Download Mode keys for the exact moment the hard reset takes effect. If you see the boot logo while still holding the first key combination, it's too late. If you switch too early, you won't trigger the hard reset.

It took me an eternity to enter in dl mode. It is so annoying. Thank you for the pain is relieving, now i can sleep.
But, it is recognized by odin added, and is stuck in setup connection.

re-install drivers. maybe use another usb 2.0 port. try older version of Odin3.

Now it says unknown usb device, on windows, device descriptor request failed , in device manager

Yes, my guess is that after 24 hours in dl mode, the tablet is going unstable

there is mentioned a timeout not sure this affect the device descriptor, though. you should see something like 04e8:685d device, without that usb connection you can't flash anything.
Now that you know how to enter download mode, should be no problem to repeat.
note there is a fork of heimdall with precompiled binaries for windows/linux you can try (in case Odin3 deny flashing even on successful connection)

The thing is that the exact timing for entering dw mode is like win the lotery. I managed to enter in it only 2 times in 2 weeks. Technically is not bricked but practically it is... I cannot enter it anymore.

I believe usb port plays a role here. forget the power button, only use volume keys + usb cable to power on. maybe replace usb jack pcb board?
