[GUIDE] How to get into RECOVERY & Download Mode

I couldn't find any information about how to get into download mode using any method other than using ADB and thougth to myself, "There has to be a key combination" so I had a play around and there is.
DOWNLOAD MODE:
1) Power down the camera.
2) Whilst holding down the Shutter Button press an hold the power button.
You will then see the following screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then just follow the on screen instructions.
In fact, you can do it using the zoom rocker too.
Now, I have been trying to find a combo to get into recovery, I have got it to flash up, but not stay, so it has to be in there, just a case of figuring it out.
UPDATE:
I've figured it out!
To get into RECOVERY MODE:
Make sure the camera is off first.
1) Press the shutter button HALF WAY IN and keep it held in that position.
2) Press the power button until you see it turn on then let it go, but keep the shutter button in the half way position.
You will then enter Recovery.

I keep doing this accidentally, so it wasn't hard for me to find . Must be something about the way I'm holding the camera sometimes when powering up.

I've figured out the combination to get into recovery, first post updated.

nice.. have been trying to figure this out myself,,,

Thanks for this! I'm trying to help someone recover from a bad stock update and we could find the info anywhere on how to get to recovery mode.

Ok guys. I tried all your suggestions and none work. I will tell you which one does. Download quickboot from play store and it allows you to tap on option to go into recovery. Works like a charm. none of this other nonsense.

You actually need to hold longer and it will enter the mode you want.

Hello ,
camera samsung galaxy EK-GC 100 asks for update and does botloop.
I was loading CF-Root and it did not help.
Flash -Odin and Z3X didn't help.
Can you remove the update from the system and make a flash? e.g. reverse enginering. Regards Michał

I'm pretty sure there is a way to fully restore the tablet. For example, to open it up, get the sd card and format it and I'm pretty sure there will be a stock image

(( no, that did'nt help..

Try holding both volume buttons down at the same time, then press and hold power button. See if that will put you into the OEM recovery screen that may have the option to do a factory reset or flash a ROM from an external SD. Keep playing around with combinations of this procedure, it may be your best bet.

I tried with holding volume down, volume plus then power, ...then only volume plus then power button, and every possible way of pressing thorugh.. now after these..now it seems to be fully dead... Anywa when i connect to pc.. it makes a sound on pc.. like connected.. but when i type adb shell on cmnt promt.. it says..
-Exes/system/bin/sh not found ..or something like.that.....
Now what should i do....,:-s

what you have to do is hold vol up with power button ( you'll see a androbot lyieng down there) then just leave the buttons and again hold vol up button and then gently tap on power button (you should see a recovery console).

HELP: accidentally turned off Android System and can not reboot

Hello everyone,
I need some help. I was using package disabler to disable some apps and I accidentally disabled Android System. This is now causing the phone not to boot pass the ATT logo screen. The phone is vibrating multiple times like it would normally do when starting up but it is not going pass the ATT logo. Any ideas how I can possibly fix this without resetting my phone? I am not rooted and am on the latest update from ATT.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

The only thing i could suggest is to hold the power, up and home buttons until you see be blue lettering in the corner then let em all go, after that use the volume keys to scroll down to factory reset then press the power button to reset

Thanks for the suggestion....i have tried to get it to boot into safe mode but it isnt working....i am not sure if I am doing it wrong or just that the phone is so screwed up that its not going into it....thanks tho!

You may just have to face the fact that a factory reset is necessary. Not ideal I know, but short of getting safe mode to work it looks to be your only option...

Stuck after flashing the combination file

Hello,
My phone stuck after doing the following guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516 - guide A

Hello,
I too am having this problem and cant figure it out. I have a Galaxy J3 Achieve/SM-J337P and it's stuck. I can't go into download mode. Also, where can i find the stock firmware for this model? It's a rare one to find. I can't find it anywhere. Can I flash with another J3 model's stock firmware?
Thank you,
Please Help!

Was this ever resolved?

I was able to boot into download mode using Miracle crack 2.58. From there I flashed the stock firmware and phone booted up no problem

Thanks all. I finally did it. Sorry for the late reply

Been stuck on this screen for the last 6/7 hours. Pressing power plus volume down restarts the phone then rapidly goes into this screen and starts loading the update. After 100% it stays, nothing happens. The recovery menu never comes. Mine is SM-A205U Full Stock ROM

Restart the phone using volume down and the power button.
After the screen turns off but before it turns back on, let go of volume down and hold volume up instead along with your power button.
Either wipe your phone or format data from there. (Either option will leave you factory fresh in this case)
Unless you wanna use odin to push the update instead of relying on the inbuilt updater.
In which case you hold volume up and down along with the power button before using a computer to do your update.

So it should revert back to its original firmware?
Always wondered about this situation on unrooted phones. It can happen too easily with auto flashing.
