Unable to get in Download Mode on Samsung Galaxy A5 SM-A520F - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hello,
I have a locked Samsung Galaxy A5 SM-A520F.
In order to unlock it, I have to downgrade the firmware from A520FXXU2BQIE to A520FXXU2AQF5 using Odin.
The only problem is that I cannot get into Download mode.
They key combination Vol Down + Home + Power will just boot the phone normally
They Vol Down key works fine when the phone is on.
It's really frustrating. Does anybody have any idea to overcome this problem?

You should be able to do it with the hardware keys and I'm not sure why that's not working but have you tried rebooting into Download Mode via ADB? The command to do it is "adb reboot download". Don't start an actual adb shell, just run the command from your PC. It should work without root access.

same issue, phone turned off automatically cant go into download mode no button combination helped.

1. Turn off your device.
2. With the device turned off, press and hold the Vol UP + Power i think or Vol Down + Power and Factory Reset should appear.
3. When in the menu press POWER again
Have been trying and cant seem to get it... ive been wondering how to get into download mode as well cant seem to anymore after installing cw,m
Download mode vol up +vol down same time. Keep hold and connect usb cable. When see downloadmode release vol up and down

Anyone can guess a reason that factory reset wouldnt work? it just boots in to bootloop with power + vol down.

[Q] Tab Pro 8.4 won't turn on

Hello everyone! My Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 won't turn on anymore. I tried charging it, that wasn't the issue. I left it on the charger and nothing changed. I plugged it into my PC and it didn't make any noises and it doesn't even recognize it as an unrecognizable device. Is there any button combo to see if it's 100% fried or not?
A couple of weeks ago I rooted it and updated it to another ROM, but it had been working PERFECTLY since then! WEEKS!
Any suggestions?
power button
Press and hold the power button for 30 - 40 seconds and see if it powers up. I had this problem yesterday.

This did not work
Hold the power button down for 2 minutes and don't let go, also hold vol up while doing it to see if you can get into recovery.
keep it plugged into the charger while you do this.

OK, this worked. How can I unroot and restore the OEM bootloader and everything?
Before flashing I made a TWRP Backup, as well as a Flashify-backup.
I have these two folders on my desktop.

to restore everything you will need to boot into download mode , if you are in download mode now you can use kies or odin to flash the stock firmware and this will correct everything.
to boot to download mode its either (Power + vol down) , or (power + vol up) , try both until you see it say download mode., or if you are currently in twrp you can select reboot->download mode
you can get th stock firmware here

That sucks to hear man. But are you sure that's the right combination to get into the bootloader?
I'm on the tmobile version note 10+ and you have to shut the phone off and press and hold the Bixby button and the volume up button. Not sure if it's the same for other regions though.

phone plugged into pc.. press vol down and side key until screen goes off.. quickly press vol up vol down and side key until dl mode comes up, basically when screen goes off hold down all buttons until dl mode comes up..
if u end up trying to hold vol down and side key what happens is if its taking a while u end up doing a hard reset and device will seem to not be doing anything bcuz u keep resetting it. at least this is how i get to dl mode in these type situations.

Samsung Galaxy A50 Issue after Update

Hey People,

I made a normal Update of my Phone 5 days ago after the Update my Phone went off and now it shows a Blue Screen with the Information that something went wrong while the Update.
I tried to repair it with the Smart Switch Pc Software but it don't worked.
I gave it to the store where i bought it but they want that i pay for the fix. Honestly i didn't tried to root it because i needed it for work.
Had someone that issue and can help me how i can fix that by myself?
Kind Regards
Saint
yes you probably can fix it easy
connect your phone to a pc with the usb cable
hold vol- and power to force the phone to reboot.
when the phone shut down, rapidly hold vol+ and vol- .the phone should enter download mode
use odin software to upload the latest firmware of your phone
download mode

That's because only the first part is needed. Just turn off your phone normally and then turn it on simultaneously pressing Volume Down and Power.
It finally worked after....

Thanks for your reply. I did as you suggested but that gave me a normal boot. I tried as someone else suggested, pressing power+UP volume and that did finally get me to recovery mode! Played around with that for half hour
Thanks again! Now if only can get the transfer working in OTG!!!

Reboot to EDL/BROM (search for right key combination) and reflash ROM using SP Flash Tool. Then flash latest Magisk
I have let the phone run down battery, pressed vol up and power, but still nothing.

I have already tried key combinations, but still the same.
@hainguyenthao helped me out. Showed me how to get into downlaod mode without pressing power and vol down!
Let the phone power down, leave it for 30 mins or so. then press vol up and vol down and insert USB cable.
OR if phone is in bootloop, press vol down and power till phone reboots, then VERY quickly hold down vol up and vol down and plug in USB cable
Dude, To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable.
But for your problem you have to put your device in recovery mode then flash ROM. Still the problem continues, you can try this download link
I've the same problem with my Note 10+... Was on Dr. Ketan Rom and update with magisk app ends in a boot loop, I couldn't break -.-
@vinokirk could you solve the problem?
Edit: Thanks to @starpandi2004 - on the first try I can break the bootloop, but just to the first screen. After choosing download mode, it comes bootloop again -.-
Is it worth to try to lock bootloader and factory reset phone? What will happen? Is the original rom somewhere packed and would be installed again by factory reset?

Bro what about TWRP recovery? can you able access it...
if yes then dirty flash KETAN ROM..it will solve...
just had same same problem.
i connected mine to the pc and use power+up volume until twrp appeear and them restores from last backup
I got the simplest solution for this issue!
If u r stuck on Samsung logo, then try this method.
Turn off the phone by pressing vol down and power button. Once the phone is shut down, release and press again the vol down and power button when u see Samsung note 10 plus screen, then release the power button but keep pressing vol down. Once u see the "Samsung" logo, immediately release the vol down button and quickly press vol up button.
This will boot up without any problem!
