i just read this on a site its for hard reset but cant you get into recovery mode with it
Hold the Volume Down button and press and release the Power button. A window with some option will be displayed on the screen. You can use the Volume Up/Down buttons to scroll between these options. The following options are present to you on the screen: Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage and Simlock.

Ignore the home button. Try pressing just Volume + and Power.

Thx bro for answer !!!

My phone restart and black screen and restart and black screen TT
Flash a stock ROM through Odin. That should get you back to a running state. From there you can customize as needed. None of the key combinations need the home button to work, so you shouldn't have issues. But, you should repair that home button anyway.
if you still have a recovery then you need to let go of the buttons as soon as you see blue text at the top of the screen. if you continue holding the buttons it will try to boot the rom...
With broken home you can not enter recovery mode or download mode. Recommend replace a new home button or sell it to buy a new phone.
I dont think you need the home button. Press and hold volume up. Then press power button and release it after a few sec but keep holding volume up.
Same method applies for download mode only then with volume down.
@DSA: Next thing you know, he will have a way to reset the Knox flag.

I dont know which method you used but you need to flash a custom kernel after the rom afair. Did you flash the one?
Press and hold volume down, home button and the power key until you get to the Download mode screen.
Press volume down to restart.
Immediately press and hold volume up, home button and power button.
You will see a message about "Installing system update..." which will then change to a Recovery Mode screen.
Use the volume keys to select the factory reset option.
Press power key to confirm that choice.
Once the wipe is complete, use the volume up/down keys to select "Reboot device now" and press the power key.
When I hold down the VolDwn and Power Button my S7flat enters 'Maintenance Boot Mode' and offers me 4 options:
Normal Boot
Factory Reset
Safe Mode
Power Down
If i try to select one of the options by pressing the power button nothing happens. (If i hold the power button down it just reboots) There doesn't seem to be a download mode option. Am I missing something?
Did Verizon or Samsumg block this option??
I do not have root access
Running FW version Nougat QH4
Try holding down volume down, HOME, and power. Does that work?
BINGO! That did it.
