So here is the deal.
This device (Galaxy A32 5G - SM A326B - Android 12) does not let me boot into the download mode in order to unlock bootloader and for eventually rooting it.
OEM unlock has been selected in the dev options.
No button pressing configuration is working.
Trying to access the fastboot mode in the recovery mode only shows a black screen with a red writing on top that fastboot mode is being loaded, but nothing is happening and Odin doesn't recognize the device.
I just want that turquoise, blueish download mode screen, but for the love of it, it just doesn't work getting there.
This is my backup device and I just want to root it. Coming from OnePlus I am spoiled but the fact that I can't access this mode with all kinds of button tryouts is just nagging on me.
Anyone experienced something similar?
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I have the SM A326U but unfortunately I tried to see if I had the OEM Unlock options in the Developer Options Activity, and it's not there.
Do you know what the hidden activity might be when you click on the OEM Unlock? Maybe we can bring it up with an Activity Launcher?

Yes, among other things. It just never enters that mode. It either restarts, goes into charging mode or reboots to recovery.
It's weird
maybe try "Samsung 300k Tool?" It looks like its designed specifically to reboot Samsungs into Download mode

Thx for this useful information. I could enter the download mode with this program but interestingly there is no way to use volume up button for proceeding to unlock the bootloader. Odin recognized the device properly but no way to unlock the bootloader. Isn't that strange? Also I did not see the warning screen, it went straight to the download mode screen.
I did not expect this to be such a pain...
Glad it worked! Samsungs always seem to have some sort of strange issue. I was recently stuck in a bootloop for a half hour until I finally got the key combo for recovery to work. Since it never turns off it becomes a pain!

I actually figured it out without the need of any 3rd part software.
There was obviously one option that I haven't tried yet. Pressing both volume buttons and then plugging in the USB cable till the warning screen shows up. That's it
Anyway, thx for taking your time to reply.

Hello Pal, were you able to root the device? I have bought an A33 5G, not sure if I will be able to root it. Extracting the boot.img file from original rom, patching it with Magisk and flashing back to the phone works? Can you use fastboot for it or do you need ODIN?

Hello again.
Yes, I managed to root the device.
I used Odin for flashing the patched boot image. AFAIK, using fastboot isn't possible, hence Odin.
But make sure you have a backup in place, coz in my case, initially applying a patched image, led to another factory reset (the second one after unlocking the bootloader).

The good thing about development phone like Moto G are that you can never brick your phone. It is very much recoverable. Try unlocking bootloader and then flash official firmware from this link http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Use this link to unlock bootloader,

You can bring your phone back to life.

I would not wait for two weeks for replacement when we can bring the phone to life within 30min.
I agree a risk element in it. If the phone is basically faulty, then it is not worth trying the way I suggested. Has this worked before you started mess around?
Good luck..

If the phone is basically faulty (a potential hardware issue) the last thing one should do is unlock the bootloader and lose the warranty.

If you have ordered from flipkart Just call them and pretend that its not turning on at all.....and they will give you a hand to hand replacement!
I can return phone but it cost more then 60 EUR via DHL and i must wait long time...
Today i will try to unlock bootloader and flash firmware. Thanks you all, have you more suggestions?
I dont know what happened. This is strange problem because telephone work fine 5 hours and after power off, i see only Motorola Logo. I hope that i will not miss guarranty when i unlock bootloader.
Unlock device is finished. Can you give me tutorial for flashing stock firmware? I am noob
U used this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/
but after flashing i have the same problem
Is there any solution? If not, how i can lock bootloader because now i lose guarranty

I had exactly the same issue, after I unlocked the bootloader this happened to me, don't worry is not bricked just a software issue with some providers firmwares, what did I do? The good about this is, you should be able to put it in fastboot.
Read all before try it please
* I unlocked the bootloader (seems like you already did it)
* I flashed CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599
Here the next issue was I needed to flash a ROM but I wasn't able to put any file in my device even mouting the USB in CWM or adb push, so: sideload
* I downloaded this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943 (you could use other but that worked for me)
* I Put the zip file in the fastboot directory
* I turned on my device in recovery mode (CWM, you can do it by the fastboot, select recovery, use vol up to enter, vol down to move, power button doesn't work here).
* Wipe factory, cache and dalvik (just in case I think factory wipe is enough)
* I went to the option flash from zip file, flash from sideload (or similar not sure about the name but it says sideload)
adb sideload myromfile.zip
once the adb finish, CWM will notify you and you can flash your rom regularly. It will finish, then you should reboot, It should take about 5 minutes for the first boot. Then my phone worked again.
Sorry if I said something wrong, first time I talk here and I felt identified with your issue and wanted to help you.
Thank you. I flashed CWM but i can not enter to it. When i hold volume down + power button i enter in fastboot flash mode. How i can enter to recovery cwm? When i enter to recovery trough fastboot mode nothing happened. Phone has restart and appeared moto logo. When i flash it i got ".mismatched partition size".
Is there any tutorial for me ? I am very frustrated with this phone
sounds like the phone might be faulty if it happened and you didnt do anything to cause it ,
anyway another option for you is to try a external reset,you have attempted too flash other firmwares so not 100% sure it will work but give it a try through fastboot recovery.
click the link below and halfway down the page follow the instruction for "external reset"
https://motorola-global-portal.cust..._detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050/action/auth
This is my steps:
-Flash this falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB via this tutorial http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/
-flash CWM V3 or V2
Do i need to flash some other stock ROM before i do external reset? EDIT; external reset does not work becase i can not enter to recovery and wipe data/cache...

Except it isn't a development phone and of course you can brick it. Try erasing the bootloader and recovery and see how you get on then. Im pretty sure it'd be bricked??
To OP - you should have returned phone especially as you are a noob, no offence but a noob trying to recover a phone which has 'broken' by itself is not going to end well especially as its impossible to tell if its hardware or software issue in the first place.
I wish you luck though.

To get into CWM after flash it, go to fastboot mode, then in the menu, use ONLY vol down and move to the recovery option, once in the recovery option push vol up.
It also could be you phone has a fault from factory.

You can perfeclty recover an erased or corrupt bootloader, and from there flash anything you want, including recovery. Yeah, it's an unbrickable phone.

Your phone seems to be fine. the only option worth a try is to flash official firmware that should go ok with a locked bootloader forget about custom recovery and rooms
and in any case do not unlock the bootloader until you some how solve this and in the picture you posted the phone already is in flash mode just make your PC to recognize your phone by installing the necessary drivers and flash

Hello everyone, i have tried to recover and bypass my password on Z3 D6603.
Cannot remember the password/PIN Code at all, so i cant turn USB Debugging or anything else ON. I have tried to flash custom roms and new firmwares and unlock Bootloader with FlashTool/Emma and any attemps dont give results. Also IMEI Unlocker what comes with Flashtool doesnt work. Tried multiple times with code what i got from Sony's site,
My warranty is gone so i cant give my device to them for unlocking or master resetting, so i need to do it by myself, are there any tips how i can bypass my password or master reset whole device without USB Debugging? I really want get access back to my device, its too expensive to leave it because i have bad memory.
Attached a .JPG with this thread, that picture tells my phone information what is possible needed for unlocking this.
If you can help me send Private Message or just post to thread, Thanks in advance everyone!
http://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-z3-d6633/ try option 5 it'll allow you to factory reset in recovery mode
You will not be able to enter recovery unless you have installed one. The info on this site is incorrect.
It also says it if for the D6633 not the D6603 which this user has
I have tried it on my D6616 variant and was able to boot into recovery. Here's the step to get into it, Power off your device while it's off hold both volume up + down then hold power button after 5-10 seconds it'll vibrate and load the sony logo the moment it does release the three buttons and press and hold the camera button until green android guy shows up, that should allow you to factory reset your device.

That would work only a locked bootloader
The OP here has not confirmed that the boot is locked or unlocked. He says he has no warranty (Suggesting it is unlocked) so this will not work.
The best way will be to flash a FTF with flashtool, there is no need for USB debugging in order to do that

All my xperia devices have never had a stock recovery, whilst other devices do that allow updates and adb and backing up user data etc.

You MUST flash the correct firmware for device and region.
1. Uncheck "auto reboot" in Odin
2. Flash firmware again
3. Disconnect phone Do Not Power On!
4. Wait 2 minutes
5. Boot into recovery volume up+home+power
6. Wipe cache, factory reset, then reboot device.

If it doesn't shut off after you flash firmware do a force restart by holding volume down+home+power. As soon as the phone goes off and before the galaxy splash screen appears you press volume up+home+power. If the splash screen appears before you do this then you are too slow. Repeat the power off process and try again

Ok the only reason it will not boot after a successful firmware flash with Odin is if the EFS partition is corrupt or missing.
You need to tell us exactly what you've done with the phone before this happened.
What country are you in?
What firmware did you have on your phone originally?
Where have you got the firmware files from?
Does Odin says "success" when flashed and "passed"?
Does the phone reboot after Odin flash?
Have you ever flashed a custom Rom to the phone?
Have you in any way modified the bootloader?

This is your problem. Even when the phone boots on your going to have a major problem getting past this.
Look for a guide on how to bypass FRP Lock on Oreo, it can be a tedious process of installing TWRP and flashing combination firmware. Never ever ever ever flash anything with FRP lock on it causes so many problems and there's lots of threads about it here.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/frp-lock-please-help-t3925674
for me it helped only flashing the AP and nothing else .. but you are already beyond that point becasue you flashed the bootloader BL i think ,
once the recovery and system partition are stock you should be able to boot (frp lock blocks modified recovery twrp or system , you must enable oem unlock in the developer options or it will frp lock for customizations you probably disabled it without knowing what it is(like me) ) ..
but ive red some other stories here , and they all boiled down to NOT flash the BL becasue it messes up the flashing for the otehr partitions ...
TRY FLASHING without BL !
i hope its not hardbricked or needs tons of tinkering
try to flash this AP : it worked for me , maybe it works for you ! (lets pray) (its from german vodaphone but it shouldnt matter)

This method is not for the faint of heart; it involves downloading 1) the factory binary for your phone, and 2) the correct firmware for your phone (which you can find at sammobile). I don't know if it will fix your particular problem but if everything else has failed, it's worth a try. You will basically be taking your phone back to its state when it was first set up at Samsung factory, before the firmware for your region was installed. I used this to get past a drk imei error, it's worth taking a look. Anyone else who knows more than me, please weigh in on what you think about it.

I've had some troubles trying to root my new phone, as above mentioned in the title. First off, when I try to boot into recovery mode via "adb reboot recovery" command, the phone restarts into a black screen with a dead android with a red triangle and 'no command' below. I haven't yet attempted to actually root my brand new phone yet because I wanted to backup my entire phone (stock ROM/Firmware, etc,.). I am afraid I will end up bricking it and have no ways to back it up. I had the same issue with my older LG G5 with the dead android. Why is there no recovery? And why have I been able to easily backup and root older phones from 2012 from LG but not my newer models?
It's really frustrating.
BTW, I posted this thread in the wrong area and I cannot find an option to delete it or move it to the Developers Section, my bad.

The same thing happened to me. I was hoping to find a way to unlock the bootloader but unfortunately, I can't find any way at all. I was also trying to find a way to boot to recovery mode but the controls are not the same as the other Nexus, Pixel & Android One devices out there. When I press the power, it automatically restarts back to the full UI.

Have you tried the simplest 'fastboot oem unlock' command (having checked the Allow OEM Unlock option in Developer's option; most Android One devices' bootloader can be unlocked this way)?
If it doesn't work, how about the below method, which I believe is the 'official' LG bootloader unlock:

I don't own the LG G7 One, am hoping to, if the bootloader can be unlocked and Magisk be installed.
All the best

Done all of that. Unfortunately, the "adb reboot bootloader" command does not take it to the bootloader screen. It just simply restarted the device.
So i updated my phone automatically yesterday from the latest update, after it was done, i haven't been able to access my phone in anyway, it keeps on looping samsung logo and a window that says "This phone's bootloader is unlocked´and its software integrity can't be verified" and so on, ive tried to enter either Download mode and recovery mode, but none of the methods seems to have an affect on the phone at all, please help, thanks
Hmm if u have PC download Smart Switch and do Emergency Firmware recovery. That should fix it totally.

- The phone does not show up on the pc either
Was your phone rooted? That could explain it.

Same issue here. s10e stuck in boot loop (between samsung logo and warning about the bootloader being unlocked) after yesterday's update.
So far I had no success putting the phone into recovery or download mode.
The phone was rooted, then flashed with custom ROM, then flashed again with stock firmware. I kept the bootloader unlocked because I read it was risky to re-lock the bootloader.
So, is it now hopelessly bricked?

Thats a good question, far as i know, my phone is unable to get any form of connection to the pc, not able to start up in recovery or download mode either. What i know for sure, there is a way out, we just have to find the way
Never attempt to update if you have rooted and made any changes to the system, deleted or added system apps, modified kernel, changed boot logo,etc.

So, here's how I put the phone in download mode.
I left the battery to drain completely, then without pressing the power button, I pressed the volume down and Bixby button; and only then I plugged the cable. Without pressing the power button, the phone started straight into Download mode.
Now Odin sees the phone, I'm about to flash it with the stock firmware and see what happens.

Maybe this thread helps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/help/galaxy-s10-bootloop-updte-to-android-10-t4023201
It's probably Samsung's vaultkeeper that caused the bootloop.

I just wanted to give an update of how I rescued my phone and kept all the information on the phone memory intact (this was one of the challenges, as I had some photos on it).
I put it in download mode by draining the battery, then tried to flash the updated firmware. It didn't work, leading once again to boot loop and all I could do was boot to the stock Android recovery - not helpful.
So I got it to download mode again and flashed the stock firmware it originally came with (prior to the update). In Odin, I put HOME_CSC in the CSC field, to keep the phone memory from being erased. This solved it.
Hope this info can help someone having the same issue.
