Question Can't get into recovery - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Hello,
does anyone else have this strange issue?
I can't get to recovery no matter what...
I've tried around 30 times, any suggrestions? Thank you.

What did you do? Usually, average players don't need to get into recovery. So, what did you do and why do you want to get into recovery?

I want to factory reset it from there, nothing is wrong but I've wrote about it here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/z-fold-3-eux-issue.4378283/

You have to use your cable. Shut off the phone with cable connected. Then push the buttons

Anyway, thank you.

I connect to my computer then do the button thingy to get into recovery mode. Not sure if just a cable will do.

did you install a FFF bootloader? or keep the OtterX bootloader?
couple of other options
order or make a Fastboot cable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53652317&postcount=2

Even though twrp reported battery at 100% it could have been wrong, or battery is failing.
Could leave connected to pc for a few hours

[Q] help, phone won't turn on after flashing 20b

Hi, I tried to flash 20b through twrp tonight.
I did factory reset, then flashed the bootstack, then flashed the system. But after that, my phone won't power on. I tried to remove the battery, holding power button for a long time, or power+volumn down.
The phone just does not respond at all. Can anybody help? Thanks!

take the battery out and put it back in and try to power it on. Repeat a few times, if that doesn't help we'll try other things.

when I had that problem I figured out that it was the battery that was making the phone act weird. Since LG sent me another battery when they had the promotion I used the other spare and that fixed it for me.
This happens right after I flashed the new system, I doubt it is the batter problem. If I plugged into the computer it still won't power on.
(If I remove the battery and plug into computer, the screen of the phone does show some symbol, probably regarding missing memory).
Let me try to see if I use kdz flash to reinstall the system. Thanks for the help.

No it just shows regular LGE com port and I am not able to flash anything. You are right, it's hard bricked I am not sure what went wrong with my twrp flashing procedure though. Will contact with LG for repair.

This is why You don't flash the boot chain unless you absolutely must. I was running 20B with the old boot chain (other than rpm, that was updated) and it ran just fine. If you get a bad flash on the boot chain your sol.

[Q] Wind Mobile SIII Hard Brick

I've already gone through a ton of posts regarding hard bricks, so there's a couple of things I would just like to confirm with an expert
How I bricked my phone - One day it suddenly started randomly doing a boot loop, and in order to fix it I booted my phone into CW recovery and tried to restore from an old image. Half way through my phone turns off and gets stuck on the boot screen so I take the battery out and was not able to get it to boot into recovery or turn on ever since
I also bought a USB Jig here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/191271190580?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT but it doesn't work.
The only other alternative solution I've found in the forums is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 I was just wondering if this works 100% so I can go out and buy a 32gb microSD card; also I was wondering if it has to be class 10 or not?
Any help is appreciated! :good:
What happens if you take out the battery, and put it back? Does the phone do anything at all? Assuming it has a charge. The unbrick method works, but don't try that yet. And yes it has to be class 10

If you connect the phone to a Windows PC, does the phone appear in device manager as Qhsusb_dload? If it does, the de-brick method would be one choice. Paying for a jtag service is the other.
Yeah, try the debrick if there is no response. Or jtag as the above poster replied

When I connected it for the first time on my new computer it successfully installed a driver that had Qhsusb_dload in all caps. I'll start with the debrick method thanks!

Bizarre sudden death.

I'm quite perplexed. I was using my p600 today, and it worked fine like normal. Tonight I took it out to do some reading, and noticed some flickering streaks across the screen. I thought nothing of it, and did a reboot.
It turned off, but never rebooted. The back and menu buttons flashed once, and then went dark.
I've been trying without success to get it to boot for a half hour, nothing. There is no response to plugging it into a charger, and my computer does not recognize it as being plugged in. (Currently have no access to windows, so unsure of ODIN).
I was running Tamasek's unnoficial 18.1 build at the time.
Any ideas. Would greatly appreciate any help, even just to get some notes off if it is indeed dead.
while plugged into charger (to rule out it hasnt died while youve been messing with it) long hold power button... i forget if its 10 seconds or 30 seconds. same sorta thing happened to me on temasek, flicker screen but then it died itself, and i got a response from my tablet by long power button hold. not sure if we had same cause but thats what worked for me

Doesn't seem to work for me.
Update:
Holding the power button gives no response, no matter the length of press. However, apparently randomly it will turn on, as the back and menu buttons will light up. If this happens I am able to successfully connect to a computer and view files. I was able to connect to ODIN, however since I am unable to get into download mode I am unable to do anything.
If it is in the state where the buttons are lighting up and I then try to boot it it turns off and is completely unresponsive.
Any ideas? Is there a way to remotely boot into download mode?
Cheers

When lights come on, attach to computer and run the command adb devices... if you dont know about adb then there is plenty of info on the net about it. If adb devices gives you a response (which it will if yoi are able to view files on yoir device then that means you will get and adb response as long as you set up the adb program correctly) then run adb reboot download and then youll be in download mode and flash with odin

I am unable to get the p600 to show under adb devices. However, adb does work successfully for my nexus 6 so it appears to be generally working.
This is on mac, so I don't believe it could be a driver issue. I spent a good while trying to get adb working on windows with no success for either device (killed and restarted adb server, tried reinstalling drivers, different cables, etc).
Frustrating, because the p600 will connect fine to the computer, and I can view files and interact with it. Odin also recognizes it.
I appreciate the help, and any further ideas.
if odin recognizes it then why dont you just try to flash stock again?

It appears to still be hanging on SetupConnection.

Hmm i guess its not in download mode then... the only thing i could think of is that for some reason it keeps booting to recovery mode which would make both adb and odin not work. Although idk why youd have a blank screen cuz that doesnt tend to happen for recovery. When the menu buttons light up, do they give you haptic feedback (do they vibrate)? If so, maybe you recently dropped it and the ribbon cable for screen beca,e disloged. Id stilll see if you get any responses from ppl who know more than me before you go pulling your tablet apart tho.
The only other thing i could think of to tell you to do is to keep trying to access download mode by holding the appropriate buttons during boot and then try to flash stock with odin. Sorry, i dont know enough to give any more advice from here

Thanks man, you may have just solved it, I feel like an idiot. I hadn't considered that the ribbon cable might be loose, and as I was examining it with a bright light I could see items on the screen. Was successfully able to boot into download mode and flash the stock rom, the screen issue was not solved, but I think it flashed alright.
When I have some time I'm going to take off the back and check out the ribbon cable.

The ribbon cable coming loose is a very common issue on this tablet (even without dropping it) as it's connected rather poorly. Fortunately it's also relatively easy to fix as per the below:
Fixing Note 10.1 2014 ribbon cable
Especially the screen flickering when it "died" sounds familiar.

Then how do you not have any files on your phone? Sorry, I'm just a little confused. Have you tried flashing nitrogen and the twrp installer zip again?
Your device switched slots when you flashed the rom, usually flashing it again will work.
connect the phone on computer if you hear it connected its fine. Just hold the power button + Vol up to go to recovery then factory reset or reboot to bootloader.. i had the same problem 5 hours ago..
its so hard to install a rom, sometimes if you get successful one, once booted up, there's an error ecc..
goodluck.. dont panic.
