I know that u can enter download mode without a battery....isn't it holding down volume down and power button and plugging in a PC?
Hi!
Download mode can be entered by pressing HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER.
Not sure, though, if you would be allowed to go into Download mode without the battery. If it works, you would need to press the buttons (and keep them pressed) before you plug the USB cable. Buttons have to be pressed before power comes in.

I'm trying to follow the root how-to over Dev. When I hold down both Vol Up and Vol Down and press Power to turn on, it goes to a blue screen with bunch of Warning lines: a custom....then won't go into download mode. I've tried several times, same result.
Has anyone seen this?
never mind. Wasn't supposed to press power button lol Power Up & Down together then plug in the USB cable. I had the USB cable already plugged in. This is where the issue is lol
Trying to reset my AT&T OGP following the directions posted here but I can't seem to get my phone to go into download mode. The instructions say to power off, the hold volume down while plugging the micro-usb cable into my pc. Did that, all I get is the battery charging icon on the screen after the LG logo.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
UPDATE: I got it. I had to hold volume UP & DOWN while plugging in usb.
Hello
Press vol + and vol - together
Then plug the cable
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.

Power OFF
hold volume + and volume - , keep both pressed ( with the phone off ) , and THEN connect to PC ( keep pressing those buttons ) until the download mode screen appears , then you can release them !
I have tried some of everything. Nothing will work it just keeps restarting.
Just go into recovery mode - with phone off, hold volume UP and insert USB cable (with USB already connected to PC), or hold volume down and power, and then choose "Reboot to bootloader". That's Download mode.
You need to have usb plugged in!
When I was going to root my phone, I must have taken a wrong choice on the download screen (I can't remember what) because it got to another screen like the attached screenshot over this text: "Press power key to continue", but pressing that key does nothing. Every time I start the phone, that screen comes up for about 10 seconds, and then it boots in an apparent normal way.
The same screen of the screenshot keeps coming back when I press the keys for download mode (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power). Pressing the keys for recovery mode (Volume Up + Power, from off) nothing changes. However, I pressed that keys for over 2 minutes and the phone entered in recovery mode. Then, I could wipe everything and rebooted, but the problem persisted exactly as before.
I can't get to the download mode, so I can't download any ROM. What can I do?
Just confirming, you've plugged in the usb cable before pressing the buttons to go to download mode?
Might also try using ADB commands to get to bootloader...
