Download Mode? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

My S4 broke and my friend lent me his GNote II in the meantime. I do not feel it is authentic. I am trying to root and flash a rom to improve performance but when i try to enter download mode with Volume Down, Home and Power but when I do , it takes me to Android System Recovery 3e and I can't even choose anything like i usually can when I press power. Power does nothing and home removes the menu. Any ideas?

Method 1 -
Does it give you 3 options to choose from (in download mode)
1) normal
2) fast boot
3) recovery mode
If so, yes I am pretty sure that this is fake/clone samsung note II.
Method 2 - via IMEI number
you can check IMEI number www.imei.info for some fake/clone phones you will noticed that it will show Nokia or some other company.
Method 3 - via Samsung Kies
Connect your phone to your PC and if samsung Kies does not detect it, then it may be fake/clone.
Hopefully, this will work for you as it did worked for me in identifying fake/clone samsung note 3.

If it is a fake or clone, am I unable to root ?

Its not fake -- that is the stock recovery for all Samsung phones. You need to root using chainfires kernel, then flash a custom recovery. Both of these procedures involve a PC and Odin software. Everything is spelled out in several threads.

Yeah just read the stickies man
.odin takes 5 minutes to download and root.
you sure your holding down volume? Up volume is recovery down is download.
Power off phone. Then hold vol down, home, and power. Once you see logo release ONLY the power while still holding down and homs.

bell Recovery mode trick

1. download and open odin 4.03
2. With oden 4.03 running connect the phone
3. remove battery
4. hold volume- home and power while inserting the battery
5. smile you should be in recovery
(worked for we with a bell phone with 3 button disabled with the connect to computer screen)
getting into recovery mode isn't hard -- you can use ADB tools and it's MUCH easier
the problem is getting into download mode -- I was told these are different ?
You can go into download mode with adb too or something similar, i'll try to find the link when i get to my desktop

Can those who have 3 button disable try wht the OP suggested ? I dont understand wht u 2 are talking about :S
Yes getting into recovery/download is easy w/o 3 button when u have a working firmware, its when u don't u end up a with a $600 brick. If what OP says is true, it should allow u 2 enter recovery/download even in a situation like the one previously described.
Wow - if this works it could really help a lot of folks out... anybody without 3-button recovery want to try this?

Tried the procedure described but no luck at all (at least with my phone). Thanks for the trick though.
I'm already sick and tired of having to cross my fingers every time I flash a firmware via ODIN, knowing that I only have one shot to get it right.
Assuming if this procedure works, will the phone be able to get into recovery mode the next time without connecting to Odin?
If it doesn't, the phone is still going to be a brick when it fails to boot.
anyone got link for Odin4?
i'm still using Odin3
I tried this also. Doesn´t work for me.
Seems rather pointless plugging it in to Odin if the computer cannot recognize the phone, if it could...then we wouldn´t have a problem to begin with.

[Q] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II soft brick

OK I was trying to flash an unlocked kernal via ODIN last night, something went wrong and now phone is stuck on the phone--!--computer screen. I cannot get past this screen. vol+home+power doesn't do anything but loop to the same screen.
It shows ODIN MODE in red at the top of the screen, but ODIn won't recognize the phone, nor will Kies (not running at the same time). Computer makes USB connected/disconnected sound when I plug and unplug the phone.
I have tried One-Click Unbrick, did not recognize that phone was connected.
Help!!
which model of Galaxy S2 do you have?

there''s currently nothing to flash this phone
it came out only 2 days ago
DEV are still working on finding root
so, the best suggestion is to take it back to the store and get it exchanged
or wait a few more days/weeks until a flashable release becomes available to fix the mistake
I know, I was hasty and now this. Even when there something available to flash, the device isn't being recognized by ODIN. Any troubleshooting help for this?
When I managed to get my Vibrant into that mode I could pull the battery, hold volume up, put the battery in, press and release power (still holding volume up) and it'd kick back into download mode everytime. Once in download mode I could plug the USB in and a running ODIN would see it pop up. If ODIN wasn't running and USB was already plugged in things wouldn't work right.
I haven't tried ODIN on the GS2 yet (I'll wait for a root ). I did find the vibrant nearly impossible to brick though... trust me I unexpectedly tried quite hard.
You might need the newest ODIN for GS2 support, and possibly newer drivers.

I'm a bit new to this, but a custom ROM shouldn't affect your recovery mode. Are you sure you are using the correct buttons and methods to boot recovery?
Might want to make a new thread instead of necroing something from when the phone was 2 days old.
I have GT I9100 and done the same thing and got the same result . stuck at setup connection with odin
Please Help
Go into device manager when is plugged in and if it says qhd-usb or something like that its a hard brick. What tipped me off was you said it makes two noises when you plug in. that's a tell tell sign your hard bricked

You should try to uninstall then reinstall driver, and try another usb port. In my experience, Odin seems to be picky, it only recognizes your phone if you plug it in the usb port that you used in the first time.

Recovery is accessed by holding both vol + and - while starting the phone. Hold them both while pressing the power button, then release the power button when it vibrates, keep holding the vol buttons till you see the recovery screen.

i tryed this but still odin does not recognize my phone. (no yellow box shows up)

[Q] can't use recovery mode.

Hello my friends.
I got a Galaxy Note II here - but my sister decided to play with it and now its locked on the 'too many wrong patterns screen'.
To make things even worst i haven't associated it with a google account (i recently bought it from a friend of mine).
When i try to hard-reset it the phone goes to the famous android logo with red exclamation - i think he rooted the phone and didn't told me.
Anyway when i get on this screen if i press the 'back' key on the phone i can access the 'Android System Recovery' - but i can't select any option.
I know i should use vol up/down to scrool betweeen options and power to select - but i press power and nothing happens.
Tried also pressing the menu button - nothing happened also.
Another problem is, for some reason i don't know the phone won't connect to my computer - only in charge mode.
Tried tons of things lots of times but it isn't showing up no matter what i do.
I tried also to call me from another phone and get in any menu - but when i do that i can only select normal options (send an sms, refuse call, accept).
I would like to hear suggestions from you guys since i've ran out of resources - i don't know what else i can do in order to recover the phone.
Thanks in advance
additional note: i just know its model is i9220+
It accepts WCDMA and a GSM SIM.

oh yeah

This is what i want.
But my computer do not detect the phone so i can't go into download mode.
I don't have anything important there - not worried about what is on its memory.
like i said when i plug the phone into the computer it only starts charging and nothing more.
is there 'any trick' i can try heh ?
ps: i installed kies, uinstalled, installed samsung usb drivers, installed, etc...well what i mean is that i tried most of those tricks to get the phone detected but no success - maybe flashing directly from my SD ?
also - i 'suspect' my phone is that n7100 . since i don't have its manual and can't access its menu either i just suspect because its from brazil and those n7100 models are like 'international'.

ok from how you are explaining stuff I'm not sure if you understand the flashing procedure thoroughly and risk involved
1. flashing can be risky
2. you need to download Odin example version 1.8
3. when your phone just powers on you need to know the EXACT model number example N7105 or N7100 or any other version..this is very important as if you flash a wrong firmware you could destroy your phone completely
4. find a stock ROM for your phone on xda or at samfirmware.com
5. install Samsung drivers or install Samsung kies but while Odin is on Samsung kies services must be closed
6. keep your phone in download mode by switching off your phone then HOLD CENTER/HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON
7. your phone may warn you and I believe may ask you to press volume up button to continue
8. then you are now in download mode.
9.open Odin
10. connect your phone to your pc via USB cable..give it time to register/install itself as a new hardware..etc etc as you may see new hardware detected pop up if running on Windows
10. a yellow COM port will appear on Odin showing the phone is connected
11. place the stock ROM file on the PDA section UNTICK REPARTITION , TICK REBOOT
12. this should flash your phone....however my procedure is a vague way of how to go about it... you may need to see a detailed step by step procedure on XDA if you are new to this.
I take no responsibility for any damages...I hope you almost everything we do here on XDA had risks involved
or the safer option take to a Samsung repair center!!

To get into download mode all you need to do is turn of the phone and hold power home volume down until you see the warning sign.

Put device on download mod and tell us what information it displays
You need not to connect device with PC to get downbload mode. Do this.
Vol Down + Home + Power
then vol up in warning screen to finally get download mod.

Okay
when i put the device into download mode (vol down + home + power) - it goes to a 'factory mode'
then options i have here are:
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC
Version
Reboot
And i can't choose any of 'em , no matter what i press.
Same happens when i go into recovery mode.
For getting into recovery o mode i i press the following combination: vol up + home + power
Then i get the android logo when a red exclamation - but when i press the 'back' button i can get into the "Android System Recovery <3e>", where i have the following options:
Reboot System Now
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
and same thing - i can't select any of 'em - no matter what button combination i press.
I tried plugging the phone into three computers none of 'em detected the phone.
Sometimes after many power on/off the computer detects it but instantly loses also - its something very quickly.
I can't get into any of the menus of the phone since i'm stuck in the 'too many wrong patterns' screen and i have no associated google account.
Also when i plug the phone in the pattern screen the only thing it says its about charging - nothing about plug in usb or anything like that.
I'm a bit used with flashing (did it a lot on my RAZR XT910) and i know all risks.
I've also found out my note ii is model GT-N7100 (this is the one sold in brazil) - i couldn't get its manual but my bet is going to be this - samsung service center won't repair the phone without the fiscal coupon .
I'll try more and keep this post update - but if anyone got an hint about this just tell me
Thanks in advance

Oh okay.
I tought it also but wasn't sure.
I'm really sorry for taking your time
It was looking like Samsung because of its back
There's an stick with:

FCC ID: A3L SHI9220+
For information call: 1 888 987 4357
Bluetooth
CE01688
IMEI
and Made in Korea
There are also entries to:
WCDMA SIM
GSM SIM
and SD Card
But when i power it on there's nothing related to Samsung in fact - i never get anything related to Samsung.
Only android logo like a rocket.
It seems to be running an android 4.1 because of the interface
Anyway i'll see what i can do and thanks in advance for all the help

HELP! Bricked SM-T800

I have bricked/soft bricked my sm-t800 trying to flash bliss rom. I can only boot into download mode. Can anyone please point me in the right direction for a factory image for the USA model. I cannot find it on sammobile or anywhere. I have found one xda thread with stock firmware but it fails in odin. The thread states that it does not wipe data. I cannot access recovery at all just download mode. Anybody who can help me fix my device I will make a generous PayPal donation. I literally have had my tab s for a day. I will try to return to bestbuy if I cannot fix it but i;m unsure if they will take it with knox tripped. I also cannot power off the tab my options are the powered by android boot screen or download screen.

Then power off the device then hold volume up,home,power really quick till it boots into recovery. If you get in, now just transferr a custom rom from your pc over to the tab s on flash it with twrp.
If that doesnt work, try plugging the tab s into your pc when the tab s is fully off. When the tab s is fully off, plug the tab s into your pc and do the button combo to boot into recovery.

If that doesnt work if you got adb installed on your pc, type in adb reboot recovery in adb and see if that works.
I will be back tomorrow as I have to sleep, try these and ill check back in the morning. But anyway you probably cannot save your data since it wont reboot in recovery. But if the twrp trick worked then you may be able to save them

Not sure if this has been answered in another forum or in this thread. But it was quite difficult getting into recovery mode for my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 as I had planned to downgrade from the dreadful "Lollipopped" back to KitKat.
So I took the advice from a previous poster in this thread to Press the volume down key + power button until the device reset and as soon as the screen turned off I quickly pressed the volume up + power + Home key. This got me into recovery mode to do a factory reset, wipe cache and now I have succesfully downgraded back to KitKat.
I had some pry tools ready to open up the back casing. Luckily I decided to give it another shot.
Thanks for the posts guys n gals...

Tab S4 can't enter in download mode, Bricked!!! help!!!

Few days ago i flashed the Twrp recovery and yesterday i decided to remove it. I locked OEM and it bricked(take a loot at the picture).
The problem is that i can't enter in download mode since i bought it. To flash TWRP, I had to use adb command to reboot the tablet in download mode, but now, bricked, there is no way to use adb.
I had many Samsung devices, so i know how to enter in download mode , in this case power volume + volume -.
Does anyone know some kind of software that when you connect tablet with PC, tablet will enter in download mode?
I think that warranty is voided, so i just don't want to go to a samsung service center.

You forgot to unlock OEM vin dev mode indeed. The only way to get ride about it is to reinstall stock with Odin. I'm really surprised you can't natively go in download mode with hardware buttons. Have you also tried with buttons with your tab connected to an electrical plug?
You can't enter recovery mode either?

You forgot to unlock OEM vin dev mode indeed. The only way to get ride about it is to reinstall stock with Odin. I'm really surprised you can't natively go in download mode with hardware buttons. Have you also tried with buttons with your tab connected to an electrical plug?
You can't enter recovery mode either?

I don't know why but after i tried with cmd with "fastboot reboot", i am able to use 3 buttons to enter into download mode. Thank you any way.
Good thing. I advise you to use Samfirm.exe to get the file to flash with Odin. It's depreciated but still works 100% fine.
Hello, I had the problem similar to yours. in practice I have an unlocked OEM S4 tab and Magisk 18.0 installed come on, only that my problem was that I suddenly used the device my device lost the root rights. Then I restarted and reinstalled with TWRP Magisk 18 I restarted in System and everything was ok! yesterday I started reading my message (photos you uploaded on OneDrive) How did you solve it? I have read the discussion but I do not understand how you shave the command .. I see that I can not go into download mode or recovery mode, help me I'm not a newbie so just explain to me how did you use Fastboot? Thanks again

I "quite accidentally" discovered that the physical key combo of POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN got me out of the "Security Error ...) state and into Download mode and I could then flash a Stock ROM using Odin...oh my...what a panic I got into after trying for hours on end to get the device into Download...Smart Switch app couldn't detect the device at all for me to run a recovery...
