Hi, how can I factory reset a Galaxy Tab Active 3 without the pin code? I tried rebooting it into recovery mode using the side button + volume down, but that only restarts the device. Side button + volume up + home button won't do anything. Any advice please?

Galaxy Tab Active 3 cannot get into Download/Recovery modeHello,
I have Galaxy Tab Active 3. When started it says Powered By Know. I am not sure if Know is enabled on it or not. Cannot login into it as I don't know the password. So I wanted to reset the device so I can use it as personal device.
However, when I tried to get into download/recovery mode with Power VolUp/Down these do not work. The device simply continues to normal boot mode, despite the fact I am holding Power/VolUP, Power/VolDown, Power/VolUp/Home - all combinations I tried.
Any advice how can I get it in recovery so I can wipe out everything?

I try to root my S3 with odin now the only thing i got when i turn it on it's a few second of Samsung image and after that it's vibrating and nothing more.
I try to reboot it with the volume button down or up and nothing too
PLz help it'a a S3 from Rogers(canada) SGH-I747M
To reboot in download mode you need to press all together : Volume down, home button and power. In clockwork mode you nee to press : Volume UP, Home button and power and them let go all when you see Samsung galaxy S3 logo with litte blue writing on left top corner.

Are you booting into recovery mode correctly ? Hold home and volume up and then hold power until it flashes...then let go

Yes the only thing happen i saw tje samsung logo for 2 secondes and the phone vibrate and the screen turn black
Since I'll assuming you flashed rooted firmware, you need to access recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in order to proceed. Which root method did you use?
Recovery mode: Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates, release only the power button

And if it doesn't work you can force it into downoad mode by holding down the power. volume down and power key without the battery and then putting in a micro usb cord plugged into the computer. Then put in the battery. Thats the hard way haha
Or get into recovery and clear all cache and factory reset.

Which Odin did you use?
I've been using the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822308 and never had issues.
Gotta make sure you download the one for Rogers.
So you successfully got it into download mode and flashed the stock rooted rom with no issues?
If so then you need to wipe data from and cache in order to eliminate the bootloop.
Again, recovery is: Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates, release only the power button

holding down the power button has this exact effect.
I believe your power button might be permanently stuck 'in' - if it doesn't feel this way, try slipping a pin (only a tiny way and while the phone is OFF and UNPLUGGED from any socket) into the gap between the power button and the phone casing. it's a small gap but give it a little wiggle. with any luck it will come unstuck.
good luck !
Beginning to see a pattern here folks......I've commented on two other threads about exactly this problem......it's definitely a faulty power button. Officially the only way to sort it is to get the entire main board replaced.....if you have the standard 2 year warranty....use it.....
The phone won't boot normally, so there's no way Samsung can tell what OS you're running and try to claim 'warranty void' so just go for it....
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
Just posting here to report about my phone with a very similar issue.
Like what the others have said in this thread, its the power button. I just came from the repair shop and they replace mine with a new power button. The phone works perfectly now.
thanks for the info mate. will try to change the power button.
I bought an used Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 and tried to delete all ex-owner's stuff and factory reset thru normal tablet setting menu.
All of sudden, the tablet was blacked and there is no new setup screen pop-up for long.
So I went manual recovery mode(volume up, power, home buttons same time) but stuck in 'Downloading... Do not turn off target!!' more than one hour.
How can I get into the initial setup screen?

Hold the power button until it restarts
Sounds like you were holding the volume down key - which takes you to downloading mode. Hold the power button and volume up button. When logo appears, let go of power but keep holding volume button until recovery screen appears. Use volume keys to navigate and power button to accept. Factory reset and clear the cache. Then reboot. You should be good to go
Odin Note Pro 12.2 to factory rather then Do a manual factory.
Google Odin 1.
Download the latest 5.0 Update for your model. This works for me all the time
Oh! One more thing. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING JUST FACTORY ODIN RESET ONLY OKKK! REASON WHY IS BECAUSE 5.0 SYSTEM DIFFERENT. But if your willing to flash stable roms inbox me I'll gather all stable files

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.

thats for recovery yes but seems he cant get into recovery.
I found an old while cleaning today, it powers on and seems to be working fine, there is a lock screen on it and I don't remember the PIN.
USB Debugging is not enabled.
I've been trying to boot into recovery mode with the combination
home + volup + power

But it just boots normally. I can't tell if I'm doing it wrong or if the home button is faulty (I can't use it to wake up the tablet)
Any advice would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have the same issue but on the SM-t575
Really annoying as can't get into recovery and can't do factory wipe or reset as that's not available and like you it is locked with PIN.
Hope someone knows here
