Hey People,
maybe someone of you can help me.
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!!!

Hi All
After successfully rooting I though I would go the next stage and install CWM , in my haste I must of done something wrong and after resetting the phone it wont turn on. I have tried a factory reset, wont turn on, tried pulling battery etc no luck. When I plug it into the computer I get a searching for QHSUSB_DOWN driver which never succeeds and running the LG update utility just says phone not connected...ANY help would be sincerely appreciated...!!!
Can you get into download mode by pulling the battery out, then put it back, press and hold volume up button and press power button.
If download mode works, then follow the unbricking solution.
Thanks for the quick response and nope no luck!

You can't get into download mode like that (just tried it to verify). You have to power off the device, hold volume up then plug in usb to get into download mode.
either way have had no luck, seems it is going back to warranty....

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.
Hi guys. Im pretty experienced with android but this one has me stumped. My buddies brother has a stock/non-rooted optimus g e971 on Rogers. He changed his screen lock password and forgot what it is. Of course he never register a Gmail account so I can't recover that way. I figure no problem. Shut down, pwr+vol down to factory reset. Well nope doesn't work. It flashes the lg logo twice then boots like normal.
Ok so I figure I'll just put it in download mode/fast boot to do the factory reset. Tried pwr+vol up. Nope. Vol up+vol down+pwr. Nope. Vol up+vol down and plug usb+pwr. Nope. It just flashed the lg logo twice then boots like normal. I've tried multiple variations of each holding the pwr for different lengths of time, always with the same result.
Anyone have any suggestions? It's not bricked, and the vol keys are working, it just won't go into any modes.
also I dont know if he has hardware encryption enabled (of if thats even an option on this device) but would that even prevent me from getting into factory reset / download mode?
Also I check that the vol rocker is working. when it is on but screen is off, if i click the vol rocker either way it wakes the screen.
I have a similar problem.Here's a thread I made about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-intl/help/enter-download-mode-t2883542.A couple of guys had some ideas.None worked in my phone but maybe you're luckier.
If you haven't done that already you should try going into download mode by pressing power up+down and plug the cable, don't press the pwr button.
If you find a solution pls let me know .
Yup, you shouldn't need to press the power button for download mode.
First, make sure you have the LG United Mobile drivers installed on the PC you're using. Then plug your USB cable into the PC (not the phone yet). Simultaneously press and hold the Vol +/- buttons, and hold for 10 seconds. Then while still holding the vol buttons, connect the micro usb to the phone.

Doesn't work either. If I hold +/- for 10 sec then plug in the usb it flashes the lg logo twice, then goes to the battery charging screen. If I hold +/- for 20 sec then plug in the usb it flashes the lg logo twice then boots like normal.
after reading this post i went and tried if i also cant get into the recovery and the same happened to me, the LG logo just flashes and nothing happens. mine is stock E975 (4.4.2).
worked for me.

Android has SD card encryption disabled by default - but if it was enabled it shouldnt disable recovery/fastboot - right?
Even if the bootloader is locked, i should still be able to get into fastboot/download mode, and/or recovery, right?

That's what i figured, but i didn't know if there is some quirk with this device i wasn't aware of.
Is it possible i have a corrupt boot loader? Again this device I'd completely stock.
anyone?
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.

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.
Has anyone figured out yet how we're going to get into "Recovery Mode" now with the "Bixby Button" missing? I used to "Clear Cache" weekly and thought of it this morning... don't dare experiment and "Brick" a brand new phone - hoping someone with insider info had some data on the subject? Thanks in advance!!!
Power off, then power the phone on while holding volume up and power (bixby) button together

Also works on Sm-n986b [Exynos] bit not on 9860 SD, it works only if you plug on pc via USB, it may be a Bug
Power off phone wait few seconds hold both power and up value button same time for 10 seconds. Bam your in recovery mode. Worked for me N20U1 Unlock Snapedagon chip.
Hello guys
Im in the same situation, i cannot boot anymore in the stock Recovery mode.
I booted one before, then i changed CSC with Samkey and i flashed lastest unbranded firmware with Odin. All the processes were successful without problems but the combination Volume Up + Power doesn't work anymore, i tried every combinations.
After booted up normally despite holding the Recovery combination keys, in the homescreen a grey pop up say to me: [PDP] Back-up file detected.
My Note is an SM-N986N - Snapdragon
Any suggest ?
Thanks
You must connect to pc with usb cable and then try
Same here! HK version N9860
Haven't test on it via USB to PC
after update to android 11, the phone must connect usb-C to either pc or ear phone, then power n vol up.
I confirm last statement. I've updated to Android 11 and spent more than 20 minutes trying to go to both recovery and download mode. Only way i managed with by plugging in my earphones... thank you seanmcs
Didn't work for me in first place. holding power (bixby) + volume up just restarted my device. i connected the phone with PC and tried same thing and it worked.
I am using note 20 Ultra (Exynos version) with One UI 3.0
