First of all sorry for my poor english.
I would make my old Galaxy Gio ready to use for my Mom. For that i tried to flash a stockrom because i was using CM9.
But it seems that something went wrong while flashing the device.
I can't start the phone any more and also not access recovery mode or what ever.
If i press Volume Up + Home + PWR i get the Emergency DLMode but that mode seems to be absolutely useless. Odin can detect my device but i can't flash the stockrom.
If i press Volume Down + Home + PWR i get the Message 'Downloading...' written in yellow letters in the middle of the Screen. But in that case Odin doesn't detect the device.
Does any one know how i can fix this or can i throw the phone in the garbage?
Any help would be great.
seems that my device is to old? is there no one who can help me pls?

I have a Samsung W which is not rooted, with Stock Rom as i bought it. Everything was ok until yesterday. I put it in my pocket and the phone was Suddenly turned off. Since then the phone won't turn on except that the screen sometimes flashes when pushing numerous times the power button.
When i press the Vol+ + Center Button + Power Button to enter Recovery mode nothing happens.
I will charge it overnight to see if something changes tomorrow.
Need Help please!
Finally Turned it on, But Samsung Kies and ODIN seem not to working at all. Samsung Kies stacks at "Connectind" & ODIN detecs the phone successfully, but when the phone restarts it won't turn on, i have to remove battery and Open it in Download mode again.
Try to enter download mode press vol down + home+ power button if you can enter download mode flash it with odin

maybe the power button has the problem.
I disassembled the phone and the power button is working fine. I can't enter Dwonload Mode. the phone won't turn on at all :/
Since it is not flashed / rooted & with stock rom, just sent in to a service center, it's the safest thing to do right now i think.
After that you can do with it what you want
Hello! I cant sent it to a service center as it has a big mark on the top of it and they will ask me to pay in order to fix it. I finally Managed to Turn it on in DOWNLOAD MODE. I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128 this thread with ODIN and Samsung KIES. Samsung KIES stacks at "Connecting". ODIN detects the phone, downloads data , but when the phone restarts is dead. I have to remove battery and turn it on in Downloading Mode

What 'big mark' making it cannot be sent back to Samsung lol? Maybe you should install CWM and do a full wipe first before you flashed the ROM with Odin (anyway sending it back to Samsung will still be the best solution as you may accidentally void the warranty when you are trying to fix it)
Well, i believe for ODIN to work first u have to kill Kies Process using the Task manager or you will get some conflict between the two.
Also, if your phone has a scratch on top of it, then your fine. However, if it has a big DENT or if it is broken somewhere, then they will probably assume it was a problem due to a fall or something. However you can always try and send it to the service center and they will probably sort it out or replace your phone as a last resort (even if it has a scratch on it xD).

Make sure you were actually in download mode when you flash with Odin. (power + volume down + home key. Then press volume up when it prompts you to go into download mode) otherwise, have you tried flashing a different custom rom? It might just be a bad kernel.

(eg: for Odin)
Unplug the USB cable.
Shut down the phone.
Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.
To get out of Download Mode, simply press and hold the power button until the phone restarts
for recovery mode
Unplug the USB cable.
Shut down the phone.
Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds to enter Recovery Mode.
[edit]Download Mode

So dude, make sure you're using the right ROM for the right model. since you didn't provide any of that info in the OP you may not get much help from here.

I updated adaway and know the phone is stuck at the samsung boot logo. Tried going into recovery but phone wont go to recovery mode . Could be because of the sticky power button issues ?
What are my options here reinstall stock rom . I had slim beam installed with TWRP recovery. Tried these steps 2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP , phone vibrates and then its back to the samsung logo.

Hold volume up and down, press power button until it vibrates and let go of power button only. This is for T989. The procedure for T989D is different.
Using Odin and installing stock Rom manually
Hey, it sounds like you have the same problem i had. What i did to fix it is download the stock ROM for my phone and download Odin. The i reinstalled the rom ontu the phone and it worked fine. Just look uo how to do this for you type of phone included moded for example i had a tmobile samsung galaxy s2 t989.
Phone was fine for few days , restored it with odin now same issue. Phone shows samsung loho and nothing happens . Not sure whats causing this or its the not good build quality of of these phones..
Dear all,
Here is the story what happened exactly to my phone.
2 weeks ago my phone restarted by it self and stuck on the Samsung logo, I download the stock rom and flash it with odin. (My power button wasn't working very well but it did the job), after a while my power button completely went out of service. so whenever I needed to restart the phone I always do the battery trick and I have no problem with that.
4 days ago my phone restarted again and stuck on the Samsung logo and sense the power button wasn't working, I couldn't get access to the download mode, so Yesterday I bought a new power button and its working perfectly. but now I cant access the download mode.
Here is what happened to the phone when I pressed the vol down and menu button + power button the Samsung galaxy note II GT-N7100 logo flashed for a couple of times then it loads to the Samsung logo where it is stuck.
I tried the vol up + down with the pc cable nothing, i tried to get into the recovery mode nothing, and still note able to get in the download mode.
So please help me to get into the download mode so i can be able to flash the stock rom through odin again.
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.

Did they repair it?
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.
