open odin, and hold down volume button and plus usb in. Its either that or up,

i have Odin 3 v1.85 version i opened it and hold down the volume button but phone didn't turn it on.do u have any other solution which can help me to on my phone or go to download version

It may look like the phone isn't "on" but it is. The same thing has happened to me before, as long as your USB cable is plugged in and Odin is open, you'll see on the left side of the screen (under ID) it'll be yellow and say COM#. You'll be able to flash a ROM onto your phone.
I recommend you try the new gingerbread rom leak (KG4):

Note though that there'll be a new custom version of the ROM released soon.

when you plug your phone into odin does it say COM:4 or whatever number there is under that box which it does all the rfs converting and stuff if it recognizes you phone its good so unplug your phone from the computer and mayber try another usb port and plug the usb back in computer hold down vol up and down and same time and plug in usb should put you in download mode

Listen to this man the instructions he its giving you is right...concentrate on odin and the com port
From a sammy with no hammy only jammy..

Try doing a battery pull first. Then put the battery back in, hold down vol + and -, then plug in the usb cable. That should get you going.

Do you mean Odin didn't see your phone? Are you in download mode? What do you see on the screen right now? Sometimes I have to try different USB ports and close/re-open Odin for it to finally see my phone.

Yes, Odin don't see my phone. and i can't boot it in download mode! When I replace battery,press both volume buttons and plug usb my phone freezes ((((

I'm trying to picture this in my head so humor me and try this.
Unplug USB cable from phone and PC.
Plug USB cable into PC ONLY.
Take battery out of your phone (by the way, your phone will go into download mode without the battery in. I've done it).
While holding down both volume buttons, plug USB cable into your phone. Continue holding. Eventually you should see the download mode confirmation where it says volume up to continue and volume down to cancel.
Release both volume buttons.
Put your battery back in
Press volume up to continue to download mode.
If you follow these steps and the phone goes into a black screen with a phone, a right arrow and a PC, that is the "I'm messed up so you need to fix me now" download mode, but it is download mode nonetheless and Odin will recognize that mode.
Let me know how that turns out.

sorry for my english )))

Looks like maybe a few things
1. Battery may be completely Dead, leave it plugged in for awhile and see if your able to do anything.
2. When doing recovery are you releasing the buttons when the Samsung logo shows? Same with download mode, also looked like you may have been holding the power when trying DL mode.

Watched your video. I don't have headphones at work today so I have no sound but I get the gist of what you're doing. I noticed at the very end you were only using one finger to hold down both the volume up AND the volume down keys. Is it possible that your finger is slipping off and only one is being pressed by the time you plugged in your USB cable? The phone is reacting as if both buttons are not being held down at the same time. Again, just an observation
The important part is that you need to hold down both volume buttons at the same time while you plug in the USB cable. Also it's worth mentioning that the only buttons you're supposed to be holding are the volume buttons. So do not hold the power button at any point during the process of putting it into download mode. The phone didn't react as if you were holding the power button but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Tried your advises and nothing happens... ((

can not boot

One day I went to use my tablet after a long time not using it. It was on the stock OS. And it stops at the Asus screen with the spinning circle I know sometimes this might take awhile so I let it sit for 24 hours and it still is there. I tried cold boot and reset to default and also the recovery image. With the recovery image I get a dead droid with a red ! above him. When I plug it into my computer I hear my computer detect it but I can't access it.

Guessing the OS is corrupted. Bring it back to stock again using easyflasher. You will lose all data by doing this.

You need to be in apx mode to use easyflasher. Press power and volume up for a few seconds and connect to PC. Your tablet should be recognized however the screen will stay black. Then you can use easyflasher. Good luck! Also, try to never allow the battery to go completely flat. If you will not be using it for a while power off.

it is not letting me go into apx mode. When I try turning it off it restarts and goes to the boot screen and freezes there. Is the recovery image on the SD card? I can get to the recovery so I might just put the stock zip on it and try it.

I just tried updating it and I keep getting the same dead droid and it keeps rebooting when I try to power it off so I cant enter apx

Try holding POWER and VOL UP and it should enter APX even if it isn't off first.

No matter what I try and how many times I try when I push the power button it just restarts. if I hold the Power and Volume up it restarts and sticks at the Asus screen. In the Device Manager for a description for the tablet it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

I had that error and it was a bad USB cable. My cable still worked with the stock charger, just not for USB (MTP/APX/ADB)

I do have 2 cables and last time I used then both did work so I know that is not a part of my problem.

You won't see anything in APX mode and may think the device is powered off. So connect it to your computer first, then try to go in APX. You should hear the computer detect the device.

I know how to get into apx mode. I have used it several times before but it will not let me. No matter what I try it keeps rebooting.

Does it still reboot when you try entering APX mode if the USB cable is disconnected from the tablet ?

yes it reboots if it is hooked to the computer or all by itself. If I try to enter apx by itself or hooked to the computer it still reboots.

If I can't get into apx does that mean that I have a brick?

Possibly, or your power / volume buttons aren't working properly / getting stuck pressed in
Might be worth taking it apart and disconnecting the battery for a while / checking buttons are working without the plastic bezel over the top of them
Check no cables have come loose causing weird behaviour

I opened it up cleaned the buttons unplugged the battery and looked for loose cables. Plugged the battery back in and rechecked for loose cables. I tried going into APX and that is a no go. I have not reassembled the unit back together yet.

So what should I do next?

I got it fixed!
I unplugged the battery plugged it back in, did a cold boot then enter apx mode

Must have been some weird bug in memory that was being kept alive by the battery

NEED HELP - Can't turn on, strange problem!

Hello, i bought a NEXUS 5 off of a guy, who said that he plugged in the charger and went to sleep, at the morning the phone was dead, no reaction etc. I tried pressing power+vol up, nothing happens, power+vol down, nothing happens. Then i plugged it to my PC and when i press power+both volume buttons, the pc recognises a "Quectel QDLoader 9008". When i charge, no lights come up, i tried those power+volume combinations and the screen is not turning on even for a second. Only the thing that i can do is plug to pc and power+both vol to get it recognised as "Quectel QDLoader 9008".
Any help would be appreciated!!!

I just disconnected battery and reconnected it, now it does like that:
I hold power button
windows shows unknown device malfunctioned
nexus 5 screen is black, no signs of life

Seem like Bricked :/
But it can be fixed as far I know with fastboot flashing

Samsung J4 Core Bootloader

Hi guys, I can’t seem to find this anywhere on the forums.
I’ve inherited a Samsung J4 Core for a work mobile. It currently doesn’t turn on properly, but I know there is charge.
When I hold down the power button + Up & Down keys, this should boot into the Bootloader. My issue is that it boots up, but then quickly shuts down after a brief blue screen with what looks like a yellow triangle and the laying down Android robot.
Being as I can’t access the Bootloader, it doesn’t appear I can wipe/clear the rom properly. Does anyone know a work around as I obviously need this for a work mobile.
Thanks.

Download mode is Power + VOL down + VOL UP with USB cable plugged in.
The blue screen you are talking about is recovery mode. If it shuts off like you say the battery is completely flat.

It's bizarre as I've had the phone charging via the normal wall charger overnight and it still has the same results. Likewise with your above method with all the keys held down I'm still getting the same error. I'm now at a point where I haven't a clue what to do.

If you don't see the charging symbol it won't charge in this state.
The only method I know is to boot it to the download mode confirmation screen and leave it in that state while charging it overnight (may even take longer). There will be no charging notification.
Once it has at least 1% charge it should be possible to boot to Recovery mode with the USB cable attached and charge it properly.

Thanks, but even with that, it won't boot into the download mode either - just flashes and turns straight off., even with the USB cable plugged into my laptop.

Are you talking about download mode itself or the blue confirmation screen?

Everything. Using the method to get into the download mode itself, the phone turns on and for a brief moment a blue screen flashes with the yellow warning triangle and some, what I presume, error messages and the phone turns off.
