I have a galaxy s2 and I cannot get the phone into ODIN download mode. When I plug in the USB, while holding the down and up volume button it goes into recovery mode A3 but no DL mode. I can't get a USB connection to the computer for the phone to be recognized so I was trying to get into ODIN DL mode to see if I can get a connection this way but no luck

Are you trying to recover from a bad flash? Did you already root your phone? Did your try to wipe cache/factory reset from recovery? Is your phone unable to boot?
No
I've never flashed the phone before, it's not rooted and there is only the built in recovery mode. I have factory reset once but its when I first got the phone.

Did you try turning off your phone, pulling out the battery for a couple of seconds and then, press power + vol(+) + vol(-) and release the power button when it vibrates once?
Yep

Basically, with the SGH-T989D, pressing both volumes buttons at the same time while loading will bring you to the recovery, but it's not supposed to be the same with the SGH-T989... Did you tried booting while holding only 1 volume button, bottom or upper?

1-use ODIN to flash cwm (clockwork mod) & root your phone First
2-after that u flash any custom ROM while in cwm.
How:
1- your pc has to have samsung usb drivers (one way to do that is to downlaod samsung Kies)
download to your pc these files:
“recovery-cmw-hercules.tar”
CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip
get them from here http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Now, to put phone in download mode: Turn phone off- take battery out Then put it back in- hold vol+/- down & plug usb cable in phone
screen will come on- move vol up -----> u in download mode. (at this stage only usb cable or you following steps can make this not work)
Start ODIN........u can see the rest from link above.
After phone is rooted and has cwm installed Now u can copy any ROM to scdard and flash it through cwm.
to put phone in cwm (recovery) same as above except Hold vol+/- & power button (no USB cable) samsung will show up on screen Let go of power button and keep holding vol+/- ----> now u are in recovery ....install your rom + gapps and reboot
Two importand thinhs: after rooting and installing cwm ------back up your current rom & make sure make sure you flash ROMS for your device (Hercules) only ....u flash a rom/kernel for another device YOU WILL brick your phone,
after the first time....its super easy
Hit thanks

Pull the battery, plug the cable into the phone, Hold the up and down rockers, put the battery back into the phone and power it on while holding the rockers. A yellow screen with a warning will come up. Pressing the Up rocker will get to DL mode. Pressing down will reboot the phone. But unless your phone is connected to the computer/power, DL mode is difficult to get to. Hope that helps
when do you put the battery back in?

To go Into recovery mode hold Home +Volumen up and Power button , when you see Samsung Logo hold only Home and Vulome up for the next around 20 sec that you See the recovery menu.
Please help me !
I have the same problem, I've took the steps to aquire recovery but nothing happens
On my 8.0 recovery is power+volume up, no home button. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Try downloading an app like " rebooter" from the play store. See if that will get u into it.
Also I use power/vol up to get into recovery.

dude where can I get the recovery? please do share tge link ... I'm having the same problem!!
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids version (SM-T2105). It is only a Wifi tablet. I never rooted and USB debugging is not enabled (Keep this in mind). It is pure stock firmware. My 9yr old daughter has locked herself out. The Lock Screen password does not work. Because I can not gain access, I do not know exactly what firmware version it has or enable USB debugging (again - keep this in mind). The tablet will not boot to recovery mode, no matter what button combination I use. It only boots back to the Lock Screen. I tried in Regular Mode and Safe Mode. The only other mode that works is Download Mode (for Odin).
I am trying to do a Factory Reset, but I can not get into Recovery Mode. I tried flashing the stock firmware using Odin, but that does not work even after everthing PASSED with green lights (Odin 3.10.7). The tablet just reboots back to the same Lock Screen. Also, because the tablet is not enabled with USB debugging I can not do anything with ADB.
So basically I am stuck on the Lock Screen, and cant get into Recovery Mode in order to do a Factory Reset. Also, Odin flash is not working, even though everything says completed successfully. I have read in another post that other people are experiancing the same issue not being able to get into Recovery Mode (even when the tablet is not locked out and working fine). See this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-kids-t2105-t-t3294954
Can anyone help me. I beleive the tablet is stock in a soft brick that doesn't allow access to Recovery Mode. And the Locked Screen password is preventing me from getting into the table OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And my 9yr old daughter will be happy again...
Thanks,
ggee
Hello,
I'm not sure which one of these did the trick for me, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'm not sure if your three tables are rooted or not, but I don't think it matters. Try these two methods:
Method #1:
Technically, I think I just stumbled on to this one after successfully completing Method #2 (below). But it's worth trying it first before moving on to Method #2.
-Hold the Home + Volume Up + Power buttons together at the same time (just like the normal process).
-Now, you will probably need to try this next step a couple of time before you get it right. This is because it happens pretty fast and you need to time it perfectly.
-Notice that when the screen turns on, the actual first thing that happens is that the the screen backlight turns on and glows first. This happens first and a split second later the first Samsung logo flashes.
-You need to let go of all three buttons at the same time as soon as you see the backlight turn on, but before the Samsung logo flashes.
This is the sweet spot, and it happens pretty fast. But once you do it at the right time, the tablet will go black again and then the recovey mode will show up. It works for me every time.
Method #2:
I thought somehow the recovey mode portion of the firmware had become corrupter somehow. So I decided to flash a custom recovery using Odin (since at that time I hadn't stumbled onto Method #1 yet). Make sure to download and flash the CWM or TWRP .tar file for Odin (I personally have always liked CWM over TWRP).
-Make sure you have all the correct USB drivers for the tablet installed on your computer.
-Open Odin and load the .tar file that you downloaded into the PDA or AP slot (depending on your Odin version).
-Let Odin check the m5d verification for successful authorization.
-Once Odin is ready, then boot the tablet into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down + Power button)
-Connect the table to a USB cable that is attached to your computer's main USB port.
-Odin should now recognize that the table it connected to a valid COM port.
-Click <Start> button on Odin and it should flash the costum recovey .tar file pretty quickly.
-The tablet will simultaneously flash a progress bar and start to automatically reboot (also pretty quickly).
-Disconnect the tablet from the USB cable now.
If the tablet does not automatically reboot to the new custom recovery screen, then just power off the tablet completely. Wait 30 seconds, and then boot the table to recovery mode use the Method #1 shown above. You should now be able to go into the new custom recovery mode you flashed with Odin (CMW or TWRP). It should all work now.
From this point you can download and install SuperSU to add root (if you want to).
Let me know if this works for you.

Power off your phone . And click vol+ bottom ,Home Bbottom and Power bottom same time .
you will see download mode on mobile screen and connect your phone to pc and open odin.
Remember you must hav driver software .:good:
So, as the title says. My phone decided to do a little update through OTA. All fine, all good.
However, during the update it suddenly switched off and rebooted. Then a nice screen popped up with the ominous message: "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use smart switch to restore the firmware". Great!
So, hooked up the phone to that app, but it says unsupported device. The emergency recovery list also remains empty. Thus, a little Google-fu later and it seemed I could also do it with Odin. I know Odin, so no problem.
Downloaded the latest firmware with Frija, extracted, loaded into Odin. Then, I tried to enter download mode by holding vol up+down while plugging in the device. No dice, still the error message. Tried it countless times with different timings, but it simply will >not< enter download mode.
I cannot turn the phone off either. Anyone knows what to do? All stores are closed for the next 2 months due to Corona so I have no phone at the moment.
ohhhhh wait to open samsung store to fix

power button & volume - for 7 secs , release when it vibrates , and immediately power button ( for 1 sec and release ) & volume + ( keep pressed ) , to get into recovery
From recovery there is an option to get into download mode
Requires perfect timing , yes ! but you will get it right
Cheers

The buttom combos do no longer work. It seems there is no download mode or recovery anymore.
Anyway, the phone now completely died on me so I have to sent it in for repairs. It will no longer even charge or turn on anymore.

I'm having the same problem. Ugh. Can't get into recovery mode
To go into download mode at least on the n975u model you turn off the phone then hold volume up and down and insert the usb cable. It should boot into the download mode.
here is the solution
keep it running to empty out the battery
make sure its dead by powering up ur device
if u r sure its dead, keep pressing the combo and connect u r device to pc.
congrats,

And from there i think if you plug it in to odin you will find that the phone is still in download mode despite not showing the correct screen. Ive flashed firmware before with the triangle warning screen on instead of download mode, it works fine. So long as there is a blue indicator showing in odin then you can flash the device.

This is the actual answer. The error that op originally got is still in fact download mode.

My brother you saved my life thank you
To anyone coming across this thread, I had the same issue as OP. Bought a "new" Galaxy S10e SM-G970F which turned out to be SM-G970N. Everything worked except updates, but I managed to flash the latest version through ODIN.
A few months later, when I tried to flash a new version, the ODIN transfer stopped mid-way and the phone rebooted to a lightblue screen with korean letters and "Smart Switch" written in English. However, Smart Switch declared that the model is not supported for reinitialization.
I tried to reach download mode somehow, as the phone could not be turned off using a key combination or via PC at this state. What @GeeAyeZee and @pcriz said is absolutely correct, THIS SCREEN IS INDEED CONSIDERED DOWNLOAD MODE.
I persisted with ODIN, trying to flash the new version 2-3 more times (rebooting the phone and PC between attempts) until eventually the process completed! Phone is unbricked. Hope this helps someone.
Just opened the Magisk Manager app, updated from within the app using the Reccommended method, device reboots, now stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G' screen.
I cant even get it into TWRP which is a pain.

Reboot to EDL/BROM (search for right key combination) and reflash ROM using SP Flash Tool. Then flash latest Magisk
I have let the phone run down battery, pressed vol up and power, but still nothing.

I have already tried key combinations, but still the same.
@hainguyenthao helped me out. Showed me how to get into downlaod mode without pressing power and vol down!
Let the phone power down, leave it for 30 mins or so. then press vol up and vol down and insert USB cable.
OR if phone is in bootloop, press vol down and power till phone reboots, then VERY quickly hold down vol up and vol down and plug in USB cable
Dude, To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable.
But for your problem you have to put your device in recovery mode then flash ROM. Still the problem continues, you can try this download link
I've the same problem with my Note 10+... Was on Dr. Ketan Rom and update with magisk app ends in a boot loop, I couldn't break -.-
@vinokirk could you solve the problem?
Edit: Thanks to @starpandi2004 - on the first try I can break the bootloop, but just to the first screen. After choosing download mode, it comes bootloop again -.-
Is it worth to try to lock bootloader and factory reset phone? What will happen? Is the original rom somewhere packed and would be installed again by factory reset?

Bro what about TWRP recovery? can you able access it...
if yes then dirty flash KETAN ROM..it will solve...
just had same same problem.
i connected mine to the pc and use power+up volume until twrp appeear and them restores from last backup
I got the simplest solution for this issue!
If u r stuck on Samsung logo, then try this method.
Turn off the phone by pressing vol down and power button. Once the phone is shut down, release and press again the vol down and power button when u see Samsung note 10 plus screen, then release the power button but keep pressing vol down. Once u see the "Samsung" logo, immediately release the vol down button and quickly press vol up button.
This will boot up without any problem!
