You need to push power button + volume button + menu button
volume up = reboot bootloader
volume down = reboot recovery
volume center = reboot
However, if you had an unsuccessful root, you might ending up in a soft-brick. There is a posting about how to get out of it somewhere here on xda, but you have to search for it.
Good Luck,

Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :
- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)
- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)
Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen
Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone

Can't even go to download mode when you switch your phone off and use the combination of power home and volume up?

pull your battery out.
insert again, go to download mode
and try to reflash CWM via odin, make sure you tick the "auto reboot" in odin.
My Tab S 8.4 is still unrooted.
I tried going into download mode to just check the KNOX status.
Unfortunately you cant turn it off or pull the battery out!
Doesnt work when pressing Power + Vol UP + Menu or Power + Vol Down + Menu or just holding the Power.
Here's what i did. In Download Mode, Press and hold Power + Vol UP + Vol DOWN
It should restart the device successfuly.
I hope it helps.
On my 10.5, power + Vol Down is enough.
Thanks
Thanks - that had me puzzled for a bit!

first thing i did before bought this tab is check download mode.. and yes. hold vol up+down+power about 10seconds and the tab should be restart
Thank you so much
Definitely thought I'd made myself a paperweight

Absolutely correct. :good: All that is required is hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER nothing else until it restarts.

All you probably did there was as above as you had the VOLUME DOWN button pressed.The procedure can be used anytime the tab s is on. Its the equivelant of a battery pull.

Thank you....it worked...I was trying to root and this happened!!!
Thank you, My Samsung 8 Note was stuck in the "downloading" mode. Pressed the Vol + and - and power buttons at the same time for about 4 to 5 seconds and it reset to a screen showing 4 options . use the Vol - to # 4 "power off phone". After it powers down turned it on and it was back to normal.

Hi. Try rebooting into recovery and factory reset. You can enter this by holding and pressing power,volume up, and home buttons all at the same time. Since your in a bootloop, hold power,volume up and down, and home button all at the same time until the screen goes black. Then quickly hold and press power,volume up, and home buttons. That should reboot into recovery. I'm unsure about using odin since there are no firmwares for T707A. To reboot into Download mode, hold power,volume Down, and home buttons all at the same time. Then on your PC, download and install Samsung kies and restore. Here's a video https://youtu.be/LqoX7wNhotk on how to. If that fails then your out of luck Hope this helps.
Got to odin mode, it says it is downloading do not power off
I assume, it is recovering and downloading the OS via ATT?
Ok, cant do this at work, will try when I get home, PM me your paypal account email for $20 if this works
or email it to me: gssp at mchsi dot com

Nah, it's just in download mode. You have run it through kies on your PC. Just watch the video. I cant guarantee it works as... there are no firmwares for T707A. Running kies might be the only way. If that fails, your gonna have to take it to att

Just edited my post. Autocorrect sucks. I cant be sure if you can get it recovered. There is no firmware available and I'm unsure if kies will work. If all that fails, then you might need to take it back to att
The T707A Tab S is not compatible with Kies,
To turn off from a boot loop, you must plug in power, hold down all: Volume up and down, home, power
Here is what fixed it, from a Samsung agent:
Cavin: Power the device off
Cavin: Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
Cavin: When the device vibrates; release only the Power key.
Cavin: When the Android system recovery menu displays; release the Volume Up and the Home key.
Cavin: Navigate with the Volume keys to the wipe data/factory reset option and press the Power key to select.
Cavin: Navigate with the Volume keys to Yes-delete all user data option and press the Power key to select.
Cavin: After user data deletes, press the Power key to reboot system now.
Cavin: Are you able to follow the above steps?

Hi guys,
I just rooted my Galaxy S4 M919 using Odin. All worked fine till i removed CWM recoverly from the phone. Currently i cant boot the phone to download mode so that i can install a custom rom. When i press the power + volume up + home key, it takes me to android recoverly mode. How can i fix this to take me back to Download mode when i press this keys
Press and hold the power+home key+volume down ---- when the warning screen appears let go of all and quickly tap the volume up key.

Hello,
Can someone give me the EXACT procedure to enter into Download and Recovery mode please?
If my tab (SM-T830) is switched off, and I switch it on by pressing Vol down + Power and I keep pressing both buttons, it will boot until the first splash screen (Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Powered by Android) then after this screen, it will reboot..
If I release buttons during this splash screen, it boots up normally
I already succeeded to enter to download or recovery modes before but I have no idea how. I guess I must release 1 or 2 button at the point but when ?
Thanks
Hello,
Hopefully this will be helpful, the following procedure worked for me:
make sure the tab is off
plug the USB cable in your tab (but not in your computer)
hold down both volume buttons together
plug the USB cable in your computer
then the tab start (you may release the buttons) with a menu allowing you to choose (Vol +/-) between download mode and reboot.

It works perfectly, thank! That's a weird way to go to DL mode but it works!
And once I'm already in DL (and flashed a tar with Odin), do you know how I can restart directly to Recovery mode without rebooting to system?

This is really late, but go to recovery and select download mode.
Power off
Hold down all three buttons (power, vol down, vol up)
Once it vibrates let go of power and vol down, continue to hold vol up. Never fails.

Did this several times exactly the same way it's described and it fails every single time. Other way worked perfectly and easily on my first try.
