How do I enter download mode?
I tried turning my tablet off. Then holding down the volume down key and power but the download mode screen never comes up. It just keeps restarting the tablet because the power button is being held.
I have developer mode on as well and using the SM-T830 version. Thanks in advance.

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.
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.
Folks,
After I hold buttons down I keep getting to into warning screen for custom os and when I push the volume up button to go to download screen it just goes blank/black but power is still on. FYI, USB debugging is checked. Any suggestions?
Does Odin sees it?
I installed SuperiorOS R41 rom for my s9 phone. The phone is stuck in the bootloader. It does not go into recovery mode and download mode. If anyone knows a solution, I would be glad if it helps.
Are you sure you cannot get into Download Mode? Have you tried:
1. Turning off the device by pressing power + volume down for ten seconds.
2. Pressed down power + bixby + volume down all at the same time for a few seconds.
If this does not enter Download Mode, then get back to me.

I've tried all of them. unfortunately it does not go into download mode. It does not go into recovery mode.
does all the keys function properly?
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...
