How do you put the tablet into "download" mode, so you can run Odin, if say the tablet will not boot, or if the bootloader is stock/bad/inaccessible?
Many thanks
Have never had a problem with Power + Volume down + Home. Has always dumped me into download mode.

Is this on a Galaxy Tab S LTE ? Mine simply switches it off when I do that. On my tablet:
menu + vol down + power == switch off or on
menu + vol up + power == go into bootloader

It's switches off because to get into bootloader mode the tablet needs to reset, you then continue to hold all 3 buttons until download mode appears.
MENU + VOL UP + POWER is not the bootloader that is recovery mode.
Anyone who states those procedures do anything other than the above is purely pilot error.

I am sorry, it seems I made a mistake. I switched the tablet off. Then I pressed menu + vol down + power and after a while it got me to a download screen, first time I see this screen and I have flashed the ROMs like a dozen times

Hey all,
I just bought a Note 2 N7100 for my husbands Bday gift and we are unable to get it into download mode to root it. We're no strangers to rooting but this one has us both stumped. After making sure usb debugging is enabled we power the phone off. Then pressing vol down & home & power but only get an android guy with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Any suggestions on what we may be missing or need to do?
Thanks.

It is recovery mode. If I press the home button I get the android recovery menu. No way to post a pic at the moment.
recovery - Vol up+ Home +power
Download mode - Vol down + home + power
If you are getting recovery menu by pressing vol down+home+power then you must have rule out device is not a replica. can you tell what you can see in recovery menu?
Try the volume up button + home + power instead. Or you can download the toolkit in the original android development tjread and have it do it for you.

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!

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.
My tab 10.5 got stuck in download mode. I was trying to use JOdin, being that i'm on a mac.
I booted the tab into recovery via terminal and then attempted to use JOdin.
Once I started, I got an error saying I needed a PIT file, so it told me to restart my tablet and try again, the problem is, I cant restart it.
its stuck in download and I cant pop the battery out, of course.
I don't know the answer myself but maybe someone will help. I wonder what happens if the tablet is left on to let the battery run out. When it runs out and is recharged again and you power it on will it start at the boot screen and allow you to get into download mode or continue being stuck?
Someone else on these forums said to hold the POWER button, VOL - button and HOME together to exit download mode... for about 8 to 10 seconds. Does that work for you or is it completely stuck?

For me it worked, i.e. it ends Download Mode. But it reboots rhight away again into Download Mode. So the only way to get out of it is to flash using Odin.
I think it is caused bei Knox. You can one-click-disable Knox bei SuperSu App.
Before knowing the key combination, I did a full run down in Download Mode. Took approx 30h from 80% charge.
just press the download mode button combination... in the start of the download mode it will ask you a question to press down to cancel (reboot to system) or press up to enter download mode.... just press down... your device will reboot.
Press and hold Home+vol down+Power
It rebooted to download mode because you used the key combo to reboot back to download mode.
Next time to reset the device hold POWER + VOL DOWN only.
No idea why people keep posting the wrong key combo for reset, I've posted it a thousand times already.

Probably because you are the only one in this thread that provided a key combination for reset mode (as opposed to download or recovery mode) and nobody here has seen your other posts.
As an aside my tablet would not reboot at all with anything but POWER + VOL DOWN (no HOME) - mine is a Tab S2.
If you are used to using the phones, most of the older ones you can simply pop the battery out if you get stuck - no need for a forced reboot. That ain't so easy with their tablets.
I had same exact problem with tablet getting stuck saying getting pit file, I made a new admin account and used a different USB
Port and had no problems after that. So I would say its def your operating system. I would try using a live CD of Ubuntu if you don't wanna
Change your os. I'm pretty sure your tablet is fine mine got stuck at that point like 10 times and I reset it with key combo with no I'll effects.
Key combos
Reset: power + volume down
Download mode: power+ volume down+home
Recovery: power+volume down + home, then when screen goes black release volume down and hold volume up until recovery starts
Also just to clarify, volume down is the button closest to the power button
Galaxy Tab A

What are you aiming to do?
Actually it was bought from China and as usual, no google services were working. Later I tried to root the TAB and it worked. Later I downloaded another beta rom from the internet and tried to deploy it. Since then it stuck on that screen, not booting fully.
Now please help me to boot the TAB, as it is stuck in ODIN mode. I tried all suggested way (Volume down + power button / volume down + power + home button) but no change. It is not booting, nor even shutting down.
Please help.

So basically you need to install the stock firmware.
I suggest you find the Hong Kong firmware as this is usually compatible with the Chinese models plus it includes GAPPS.

Actually it's just volume down and power. Home isn't required.

I tried to flash a ROM and when it tried to reboot it was stuck at the logo screen. Before I flashed the ROM I did a backup with TWRP. Now I can't get into recovery mode but I can get into download mode. What or how can I fix this problem via Odin ?
This is a T800
USA area
Thanks in advance
Your need to boot into Download mode by simultaneously pressing and holding Power + Vol down + Home. After the tab has booted into Download mode, press Vol down for cancelling the download mode. Then you must be quick: before the boot screen appears, you need to press and hold Power + Vol up + Home to boot into recovery mide.
Best, maris

If you search Q&A Help and Troubleshooting this problem has been covered many times.
The problem is purely user error and timing.
From power off simply press POWER + VOL UP + HOME. Hold until recovery boots.
If you are stuck at boot screen then hold POWER + VOL DOWN + POWER. As soon as the screen goes blank change to volume up whilst still holding the other buttons.
Guaranteed to get you into recovery mode.
