Skip the reinsert battery part in your item #1:
1) Remove battery
2) Hold Volume plus and minus keys down
3) Insert USB cable while still continuing to hold down those two buttons.
WIthin 1-2 seconds you should have download mode. When download mode appears, then re-insert battery. For sure you're not going into charging mode with no battery to charge. This is the method I always use, and it always works (aside from hard-brick situations, but you can access battery charging mode/graphics, which surely means that ain't you).
not works.

What does your computer say when you plug it in? If in Windows check Device Manager and see what your phone is being recognized as. Can you access the phone's contents via USB cable from your computer? Does ADB recognize it at all? Or does it just loop like that, not starting?
Also, it sometimes takes several tries to get it into download mode, as if you're holding the buttons down and not timed just right, the phone ignore your attempt. Make sure you do not let go of both volume buttons even after you plug in the USB cable, you must continue to hold them down for a couple of seconds (until the DL mode appears). Don't even think about putting the battery back in until you see that download mode box. Try that a few times maybe? If it doesn';t work ,maybe you're boned.

remove battery and place it again. then press both volume+ and Volume - . By keeping pressed both buttons insert your usb cable. don't release pressed buttons until its in download mood. by the way install unified adb driver for android by koush if your using windows 8.1 otherwise lg official driver is ok
Hi everyone, I have an IMPOSSIBLE MISSION to propose!
I have an old T705 LTE tab with the broken motherboard, I found very little a wifi T701 model card sold for inoperative, it actually works or better has the POWER ON BUTTON broken, missing and it is impossible to replace because the part is was damaged !!
After so many research I managed to figure out how to turn it on (disconnecting and recharging the battery quickly !!!!)
It lights up and works and here begins the problem and the mission is impossible to unlock it and make the WIPE !!
The s tab is switched on with fingerprint or backup password !!
The English ebay user who sold the card did not know the password was actually amazed at how she managed to make it resuscitated.
What I would like to do is ENTER in RECOVERY or ODIN mode to format it, but how do I do without the power button?
I tried:
1) With ADB commands but the tab does not have active usb debugging and can not activate it because it does not enter the settings (tab with locked screen!)
2) Enter recovery or Odin mode, but also doing the task remove and put battery + vol on or vol down + home does not enter the desired mode, it normally starts. Most likely, you need the POWER key.
3) I tried with kies and Smart Switch but also tells you to reset it, now go into download mode with the vol keys down + power + home.
4) I tried turning it off to connect it to the pc hoping Odin recognized him (nothing)
5) I tried to short-circuit the power button area, but nothing to do.
No other ideas come to me !!
In a nutshell, is there an alternative way to unlock or format it without the cursed POWER ON button?
He loves the word for this impossible mission !!
Thank you and I hope to have some help from the community!
On the SM-T800, the power-button is a part of user-replaceable assembly, the one that includes also the volume buttons, the left speaker, and the headphone jack. I had to replace it because dropped the tablet and damaged the headphone jack.
Hi there. After (an attempt) to unlock the bootloader of my A50 and installing TWRP Recovery (TWRP_A50_Magisk_Prepatched) i find myself in an orange bootstate. I can't get it into recovery, download or fastboot mode. It seems like a full brick. I can't even power off the device. Only Volume up, Volume down and Power button let's the device reboot but then the same boot problems appear. Is there anything i can do to recover my phone?
Text of first screen when booting up:
"The phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's software integrity can't be verified. Andy data on this phone may be vulnerable to attackers. Don't store any important or sensitive information on this phone". Press power key to continue"
Text of second screen when booting up:
"The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security and you won't be able to install software updates"
Any ideas!?

Try connecting your phone to your PC with the USB Type C cable, and do VolDown + Power to reboot the phone, and the moment the screen turns black, press VolUp + VolDown. It'll bring you to a different screen where you can press VolUp to go into download mode for flashing the stock firmware via Odin. I got my stock firmware from https://samfrew.com/all/page/2/#t (you'll need to search for your Model Number - SM-A505F/SM-A505FN/SM-A505FM, and select the correct Region. Also, select the correct Modem Version (the last 4 letters/number of the item to download). Then, follow the "Flashing Guide" at the bottom of the Samfrew page where you downloaded your firmware.

I had the same problem and managed to get back to the Download Page.
How do I find out what is the correct region of the correct Modem Version of my phone? It's an S10 (intl unlocked) that I bought in the US from Amazon.

You can find answers in the S10 forum. But I think the steps will be the same (this is A8 device/forum).

Have you got the a21s? As can't root it, as every twrp source I use soft bricks the phone, or just bootloops, or goes into error at boot up and stops half way. Was thinking trying other custom recovery. Any tips m8?

I HAD the same issue an I resolved it.
There are 2 methods to overcome this problem.
I even wrote a PDF and attached here in this post.
Below is SOME content from the PDF so it could be easy for users to find it on Google. I still strongly recommend you to refer to the PDF attached as it has pictures as well.
Samsung Galaxy M31 / Samsung M31 Screen is stuck on the following error message / error screen:
‘This phone’s bootloader is unlocked and the software integrity can’t be verified. Any data on this phone may be vulnerable to attackers. Don’t store any important or sensitive information on the phone.’
‘The phone is not running Samsung’s official software. You may have problems with features or security. And you won’t be able to install software updates.’ (error screen looks like below):
I was using correct TWRP and I was on Android 11 One UI 3.1.
Just to experiment, I flashed wrong TWRP version which was meant for Android 10 while being on Android 11. And so this problem started. Stuck on the error screen. Phone will not power off or on. Could not even enter the bootloader screen. Nothing works whatever keys I press. The same screen comes up. When the phone goes off and the phone will not accept charging that mean even you it whole night connected to charger, phone will not be charged- the same error screen.
So, the battery was not charging (my battery was at 24% just before this tragedy happened. It was late night and I thought of waking up tomorrow and plug in charger for an hour thinking if its battery is quite charged then I will follow Fix Method 2).
I woke up next morning and the phone was off (Battery drained fully). To this I was happy thinking that I can now hold Volume + and Power key and connect USB cable to enter Bootloader. When I did that phone would enter bootloader and gets switched off automatically (remember the battery was drained completely, charger too failed to charge battery and phone is not drawing enough power from USB port to stay on bootloader. On bootloader screen the phone’s display is fully on so more power usage).
Now I knew that the USB port is not proving enough power so that the phone could remain On while in bootloader when I hold Volume + and Power key and connect USB cable to enter Bootloader. I know for sure that Fix Method 2 will fix this for sure but it’s quite tiring.
So I referred to my PC manual to figure out which USB port provides maximum power. I found the right port (refer pic below):
So now I figured out 5 Volts port and plugged the original white Samsung M31 USB cable into one (refer the pic below):
If you don’t know which USB Port is 5 Volts then I recommend you to try all the ports and try getting to bootloader screen.
So when the phone was off, I pressed and hold the Volume up and Volume down key and with other hand I connected USB cable and now the phone went in bootloader and then I quickly flashed the right TWRP. Disconnected the USB cable and put the phone to charge and now it was accepting charge. Phone was back into life.
So I resolved it by Fix Method 1 below:
Fix Method 1: On my PC, I located the 5 Volts USB port and plugged the original white Samsung M31 USB cable into one (refer the pic below):
Entered Bootloader screen.
How to enter bootloader screen:
Assuming your phone is unlocked and the developers options are on and you have enabled USB debugging in Developer options and you have little knowledge of flashing firmware or TWRP via Odin.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume down keys together with one hand and using other hand, connect USB cable to phone and release all the keys. Now phone will show bootloader screen which looks like below pic:
I quickly flashed the correct TWRP via Odin:
Flashing TWRP:
· Make sure OEM Unlock is ON in developer settings;
· Turn off the phone;
· Press the volume down + volume up button whilst the phone is connected to a pc to boot in download mode;;
· Long press vol up then confirm you want to unlock bootloader (this is needed one time only);
* Please be aware all your data will be erased including internal storage and phone will reboot!!
· Let the phone boot normally, pass the setup and connect to internet (wireless or mobile data) in order to unlock RMM;
· Make sure OEM Unlock is ON in developer settings;
· Turn off the phone;
· Use Vol up + Power + usb cable plugged to a pc to start the phone in download mode, short press vol up to confirm you want to go to download mode;
* If by any chance you see RMM state=Prenormal or KG state=Prenormal, factory reset data and redo from step 5!
TWRP screen was up. I tapped on Reboot and it did not reboot because the battery was not enough charged however I saw that TWRP Menu this means TWRP was working so the phone will boot up once it is charged.
Now I plugged in charger and was happy to see the correct charging screen (refer below pic):
I would turn power switch Off and On it quicky to know the charging percentage.
When it reached 20% I started phone (obviously by long pressing power key and it booted up just fine).
I loved myself
Fix Method 2:
Remove the phone’s back cover.
Be careful while removing the back case as you could screw the finger print sensor.
Disconnect the battery connector from motherboard and reconnect it.
Do not turn on the phone. As turning On will again get you back to the same error screen.
Put the back cover on.
Connect charger. Do not turn phone On yet. Wait for 5 min.
Do not even touch the phone.
Now you need to know the percentage of charge so do not hit the power button yet instead locate the main switch to which your charger is connected. Quickly turn Off and On and look at phone it shows charging percentage.
Once charging percentage reached around 20% you can touch your phone and power it on and it should boot up fine. It should not take more than 5 min to boot up.

So when the phone was off, I pressed and hold the Volume up and Volume down key and with other hand I connected USB cable and now the phone went in bootloader and then I quickly flashed the right TWRP. Disconnected the USB cable and put the phone to charge and now it was accepting charge. Phone was back into life.
So I resolved it by Fix Method 1 below:
Fix Method 1: On my PC, I located the 5 Volts USB port and plugged the original white Samsung M31 USB cable into one (refer the pic below):
Entered Bootloader screen.
How to enter bootloader screen:
Assuming your phone is unlocked and the developers options are on and you have enabled USB debugging in Developer options and you have little knowledge of flashing firmware or TWRP via Odin.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume down keys together with one hand and using other hand, connect USB cable to phone and release all the keys. Now phone will show bootloader screen which looks like below pic:
I quickly flashed the correct TWRP via Odin:
Flashing TWRP:
· Make sure OEM Unlock is ON in developer settings;
· Turn off the phone;
· Press the volume down + volume up button whilst the phone is connected to a pc to boot in download mode;;
· Long press vol up then confirm you want to unlock bootloader (this is needed one time only);
* Please be aware all your data will be erased including internal storage and phone will reboot!!
· Let the phone boot normally, pass the setup and connect to internet (wireless or mobile data) in order to unlock RMM;
· Make sure OEM Unlock is ON in developer settings;
· Turn off the phone;
· Use Vol up + Power + usb cable plugged to a pc to start the phone in download mode, short press vol up to confirm you want to go to download mode;
* If by any chance you see RMM state=Prenormal or KG state=Prenormal, factory reset data and redo from step 5!
TWRP screen was up. I tapped on Reboot and it did not reboot because the battery was not enough charged however I saw that TWRP Menu this means TWRP was working so the phone will boot up once it is charged.
Now I plugged in charger and was happy to see the correct charging screen (refer below pic):
I would turn power switch Off and On it quicky to know the charging percentage.
When it reached 20% I started phone (obviously by long pressing power key and it booted up just fine).
I loved myself
Fix Method 2:
Remove the phone’s back cover.
Be careful while removing the back case as you could screw the finger print sensor.
Disconnect the battery connector from motherboard and reconnect it.
Do not turn on the phone. As turning On will again get you back to the same error screen.
Put the back cover on.
Connect charger. Do not turn phone On yet. Wait for 5 min.
Do not even touch the phone.
Now you need to know the percentage of charge so do not hit the power button yet instead locate the main switch to which your charger is connected. Quickly turn Off and On and look at phone it shows charging percentage.
Once charging percentage reached around 20% you can touch your phone and power it on and it should boot up fine. It should not take more than 5 min to boot up.

Hi, friend. I have the same problem. But I don't even have a bootloader. When I log in, I just get a black screen.
Unable to boot into recovery or Download mode on Samsung Note10 Plus SM-N975F Exynos version. I usually remove/bypass FRP (google account) on devices for customers.
I have a customer's Note10plus devices which is still on pincode lock screen trying to hard reset and remove FRP but can't enter into recovery mode. Tried to enter into download to flash with new firmware but unable to boot into download mode either. Looks like the device is remotely locked via Find my mobile which is preventing to hard reset the device, anyone knows about any new security feature ?
RECOVERY MODE:
1: Begining the process by holding the Volume Down + Power key in order to shut off the phone.
2: As soon as the phone is off, hold the Volume Up and Power button till the Samsung logo appears
3: Let go of held buttons when the SAMSUNG Galaxy logo pops up.
4: At this moment i should be seeing the Recovery mode but no its rebooting and getting error : "[PDP] backup fail: setup-wizard finish"
I'm a pro in rebooting devices into recovery and download mode usually get success in first attempt but sometime have to try 2-3 times as well as timing is the key in pressing and holding the combination of keys so surely not the timing issue on this devices.
Can't even use the ADB method as well coz the device is on lock screen, Can't enable USB debugging or see the pop-up on screen to enable it due to being on lock screen.
.\ADB DEVICES - Not reading or showing the connected Note10plus via the official USB cable.
Any help or information would be very helpful and highly appreciated Thanks.
This don't even make sense. If the customer can log in on the pc and lock the screen and such they can also log in and remove it. This whole shebang seems shady and more than likely you will find no help here. Most of us do not support bypassing of frp especially since you stated the customer obviously has access to the device in some form

Samsung recently changed the download mode entry process.
1. Power down device
2. Hold volume down/up buttons and keep them pressed
3. Connect phone to a pc using usbc cable

Plug the phone into a pc with USB -c cacble whilst the phone is on and you inside of windows, in other word you need to be logged into windows 10.
Power off the phone (keep cable plugged in and pc on at all times)
Hold Volume Up + Power Button until you get into recovery mode.
plug in the official earphone the original one from the box, then try to enter to the recovery mode

Thanks man... It worked
After the second android 11 update, "recovery mode" can be accessed as follows: turn off the phone, wait 10 sec. , connect it to the laptop with the USB-C cable. After the battery percentage appears, press BIXBY + VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON. When the logo appears, release VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON and press VOLUME DOWN without releasing the BIXBY button.

Can someone here plese help me. Easter Sunday I get a text gif from my Sister and now I cant do anything with my S9. I read here about plugging S9 into windows machine but that scares me. I'm ready to call it quits with Samsung. This is the second device in a few years that has locked up on me. Could this be a hack or maleware? The new login feature for widows that includes a pin didnt work today either. I can get into windows fine with password. I did go to Google find my device and a map shows Africas west coast. HELP

Any solution in this problem.......?
Hi, I have a similar problem. My Note 10+ stuck at bootloader page and will not power down. I could not use normal procedures to go to download or recovery mode. I drained off my Note's battery but once I plug the charger back to charge its battery. The bootloader page shows up. Any suggestions that can resolve this problem? I attached a screenshot here. Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
I've got some possibly important questions:
Does the Samsung logo show up on boot?
How did you try to boot into download- or recovery-mode, specifically did you press the power- and volume buttons to boot, just pressed the volume buttons, with/without plugged-in USB cable?
Does ADB/Fastboot/Odin/Heimdall/Smart Switch or anything recognize your device?
Any idea of what had been flashed onto the phone?
Does the battery percentage thingy show up when you plug a charger into the phone?
Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening.
Cheers

Does it boot if you press the power button from that screen.
I believe that screen appears after bootloader has been unlocked....which probably means device is rooted.
You should be able to boot into the system by tapping the power button from that screen.

Hi,
I have tried every methods that I could think of. I left it drain the battery three days ago and once I plugged in my phone charger and immediately it show this screen. The only way i can do is press vol dwn + power, it rebooted and came back to this screen again. No metter how many times I "reboot" it still come back this.
The last flash i did was used the odin to flashed the Magisk in "AP" cause I lost my root for some reason. I followed Magisk instruction to create a patching tar from the phone itself. Then re-flashed with odin. My Rom was using "N975FXXU6FUCD". After odin prompted "pass" and I left it to reboot. It usually will show this screen a while after rebooted.( normally it'll take around 45 sec to full boot but not this time.) No boot to Android page after left it about 10 minutes thought it still initialize.
I left it almost half an hour and phone still show the bootloader page. What i did was try to reboot or power off by press power button. I couldn't power off it even i hold the button for about 15 sec. Next move I just tried press vol up + power , vol down + power, insert USB plug while holding the vol up + dwn + power. I tried the combination of buttons and last I left it to drain out power.
I'll try if any other suggestions. I don't think there's a reset button unless open out its case..

Hey there,
With my N10, the combination for getting into Odin-mode is vol-up + vol-down and having a cable plugged in to a computer. Please try "rebooting" your phone (while having it plugged into your computer) and immediately after the screen goes blank, press vol-up + vol-down (without the power button).
I would recommend first trying to flash the full stock ROM (AP, BL and everything else you get) and if it boots, try modding it again.
Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening.
Cheers
So I have spent hours now looking around for an answer the phone is find my phone locked and I can't remember my pin code. I have done all the tricks with the combination keys.
The usual way to get into Recovery mode is Hold V+ and power until the phone vibrates and you should be in recovery mode release the keys. (Doesn't work)
Iv read that you should have the USB cable connected from pc/laptop while you do the same holding V+ and power button... (doesn't work ether)
and download mode should be very easy just hold V+ and V- plug USB cable from pc/laptop and you should get into download mode by pressing V+. Will only show charging Icon and that's its.
So is it possible to turn off this modes from the manufactor? Or is this a completely new security future? How can you use odin? How can you wipe the cache? If you end up having some issues.
Im going nuts....
No way to get into fastboot ether. So if anyone know why this is happening to me or got any solution I would appreciate it.
Plug in your cable with the phone turned on. Hit Power Off and wait for the phone to fully turn off. The charging logo will show up so let the animation do its thing. After maybe 20 seconds, press Volume up + Power and keep them pressed until you boot to recovery. If the command wasn't recorded in the first place and the phone is still off after more than 15 seconds, let go of the buttons and press them again and keep them pressed until it boots in Recovery

It will not work. How the hell should I be able to cle3ar cache if I got a boot loop ??? They can't just turn off recovery mode mand download mode??? This is so strange even paying for a frp reset but not even he does know what wrong??? Can they turn off fastboot, recovery mode and Download mode on this new phones? Is it because its locked with find my phone? 1 week researching now. It will only vibrate. And my PC cant find my phone anymore worked fine 30min ago nothing has changed... So annoying never seen this happened before every combination with buttons to get in any mode doesn't work only vibrates and go to pin lock screen...
Take it to a Samsung Experience center at best buy. Or send it into Samsung for repair.
download mode:
Turn off phone
plug cable in pc but not in phone
pres "volume +" and "volume -" in the same time
plug cable in phone
recovery mode:

press "volume +" and power
wait until see recovery mode

thats a solid advice assuming his bootloader/recovery/download mode is fully functional then this advice works, in his case and in mine too it does not work and trying to get to the root of the problem is the key. In my case recovery mode gives error on screen so it may have to do with the way firmware is installed as these modes are not accessible.
have you sorted it out? Its nearly a year onwards =)

This, at index 2:48 minutes.
It needs to be connected to the PC. Another screwy quirk Samsung added recently. Your button timing/sequence matters as well.
On my N10+'s you can go into recovery directly with a restart if you do it right. Otherwise they will puke on you.
