Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505) and I'm currently at the official 4.4.2 (XXUFN88).
Yesterday I was listening to music and my volume started to go down by itself. I has annoyed me but ok. Today, at the morning, I've noticed that my volume down button wasn't working. So I restarted my phone. So the phone went to the recovery screen. Volume up to flash a rom or down to cancel. I tried so hard but none of the options were available.
After a few tries I succeed to enter in safe mode by turning on my mobile with the volume up pressed. At the safe mode I noticed that the volume up was normally working.
I thought that it could be a hardware issue. Then I head to a place to have this fixed. But after opening the phone we noticed that everything was alright. The technical assistance told me that the problem was at the software. Ok, I came home to reset the s4.
I did a factory reset through safe mode but the problem is still here. Now I'm planning to reflash the rom with Odin, but since I can't choose 'continue' at the recovery screen I don't know what to do.
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

[ATUALIZATION] Hey guys. I had no answer but here I am again.
I'm trying so hard to fix this problem. Now I'm pretty sure that my problem is software related. Just because when I turn on my phone it goes automatically to download mode (and i should been pressing power volume down and menu for that). And if i press volume up it goes to safe mode (but for that i should been pressing volume down and power insted).
Do somebody know how can I accept the option "CONTINUE" at the download screen with volume buttons unresponsive? I do really want to reflash the ROM and check if it works.

Can you not use the up button to loop around to continue then select it with power ?

No. When it reaches the Download screen any buttons work.
See, I found another guy with the same problem. Another evidence that it's software related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678489

Your only option is to fix that button. Clearly a hardware issue.
but sometimes it works..the issue came in existence after i put my frien's sd card on my phone
so i had a little doubt that its a hardware issue
anyway
thank you for your help
i will contact my customer care center for that
I've encountered the following problem with my Galaxy Note 4: I just bought it online from a guy who turned out to be a fraud and I was not able to find or contact him again via the internet market place. So that was really stupid of me...and expensive...and I regret it very much and with hind site I should have picked up the signs but...o well you got the picture...I got ripped.
Anyways after careful inspection it turned out to be a real genuine Note 4 N910F with 64 Gb but with a korean or chinese or something recovery mode (I saw it once when I got home), an imei not to be found on any stolen phone list and working correctly with an european rom that includes English and Dutch at that point.
That's when I decided to factory reset it and then I got into trouble again: For some reason it got stuck in a boot loop with just a No Command message. Normally you can reach the recovery mode by pressing Volume Up +Home +Power but now nothing happens. It's not a real brick but with just the No Command message and no access to the recovery mode I don't know how to fix this.
Can anyone help me with a clue on how to get out of a No Command loop without recovery mode? Or how to get into recovery mode if start with Key Up etc does not work? Or any other clue that could help me?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Rene (aka the guy who got ripped off but hopes to save the phone)
Can you get into download mode?
Thanks dr.mOx for responding!
I tried both volume up+home+power to get into recovery mode and also volume down+home+power to get into download mode but in both cases the device starts and shows me the android robot on it's back with a red warning triangle containing an exclamation mark and below the robot the message "No command." . The screen blinks every two or three seconds. The power button is not shutting the phone down in this state. I have to remove the battery to retry.
Battey out. Then in. Go to download mode. Flash stock rom with odin
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi Ozzyblack. The thing is that, if I'm correct, when I press volume down+home+power to get into download mode I expect some sort of menu to appear asking to go into download mode or not. Am I correct? I saw same sceendump about that. And now I keep getting the No Command window. Do you think I miss something here? I do press volume down first, then home (keeping volume down pressed), and them the power button (keeping all buttons pressed). After a few seconds the display turns a bit more grey for a sec and then the android robot appears. But no message of sorts about getting into download mode.
Hi reborn67.
**Only if you have a galaxy note 4 N910F model**
If you can get into download mode your safe, and you can reflash an offical ROM, there is no menu system in Download mode so don't worry.
Don't stay in download mode forever or a long time, i.e. power off and wait till you have the ROM and Odin before you go into download mode as it sometimes times out even though it still shows in download mode.
Go to here http://samsung-updates.com/details/37086/Galaxy_Note_4_Snapdragon/SM-N910F/DBT/N910FXXU1ANK4.html download the ROM, and then download Odin here https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
These are the instructions from sammobile on how to flash ROm with Odin.Instructions
1-Extract (unzip) the firmware file
2-Download Odin v3.09
3-Extract Odin zip-file
4-Open Odin v3.09 (make sure the extracted rom file "N910FXXU1ANK4_N910FOXA1ANK4_N910FXXU1ANK4_HOME.tar.md5" is in the same folder as Odin before opening up Odin.
5-Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
6-Connect phone and wait until you get a blue/orange sign in Odin (above text top left ID:COM)
7-Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
IMPORTANT** Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
I always do a hard reset after flashing new ROM's (settings, backup and reset, factory data reset)
I have a network locked UK N910F on EE and use this German ROM with no problems, this ROM has little bloatware.
Thanks gadjet. I do have odin and a stock rom ready for use now:
1-I tested odin and the usb port plus driver setup with my 'old' galaxy s4 and within a second the ID:Com in Odin turns blue. So that seems to be working fine.
2-So now I put in the Note 4 battery and connect to usb WITHOUT ANY KEYS PRESSED...just to test! And the usb connection bleeps from windows confirm a device is connected...so far so good.
3-Last and most important step fails: Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons), the 'no command' robot is still there, and also connect phone and wait until you get a blue/orange sign in Odin (above text top left ID:COM) never happens. And also there are no windows usb connection bleeps so apparently there's a difference when I tried to select download mode.
Please know that I'm really thankful for all the great tips. But I guess I'm still missing something here.
Kind regards,
Rene

Unfortunately Kies 3 (latest update) does not recognize any connected device when I try this. The No command screen is laughing at us again
This is different
Turn your phone off or make sure it’s turned off.
Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously.
When the phone vibrates, release the Home and Power buttons, but keep pressing Volume Up button.

There's no vibration...just the No command window.
OK, corrupt boat-loader Samsung service centre repair job, or local phone repair job.
Requires boot chip to be reflashed at board level.
Sorry we couldn't get you going bud..:crying:
Thanks for trying guys!
I'll see if I can find a local phone repair store.
I used to have the same problem with my SM-P605 when I flashed some ROM in the summer, the only special thing I did was not giving up and after all I got to the Download mode. Hope it'll work for you without Service.
Good Luck
Today I went to visit an official Samsung store. They told me I bought a very good but fake Note 4 and it is not likely it can be recovered. The weight is incorrect...a bit to heavy. Also the serial numbers are unknown in the samsung database and some other details were not correct. Thanks again for trying to help me! I now officially have a really expensive brick that looks like a note 4.:crying:
same issue i am facing..i tried all..but it shows no command error and no menu shows up
ill be going to get my phone checked today..if i get any way out ill let u know
What you did later to recover ? I'm facing the same problem I've visited samsung service centre but they are unable to solve it.
Can you guys help me for my phone Samsung note 4 because its just keep repeating in a logo SAMSUNG...
I tried pressing volume down+home button+power then got "WARNING CUSTOM OS... and stuff and then I press volume high+home button+power then I got the logo SAMSUNG that keeps on repeating. Please help me what to do
So I'm playing around with a Samsung S8 and I'm trying to enter the recovery mode/download mode screen, I'm considering rooting or testing different ROMs I'm fairly new to that and want to try it out.
Anyways log story short.
I turn off the phone, hit the Vol up + bixby + power I hold it till the Samsung logo comes up (even tried holding through the logo as well) and the phone just goes right into android like usual.
The buttons all work I've tested them individually but for whatever reason I cannot get into recovery mode.
Is there something I'm missing?
I've downloaded Odin as another thing I want to fool around with, is there a way for me to use that to enter recovery mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Samsung S8
Unlocked but originally with Rogers in Canada
Security patch updated to Oct 2018

Odin will not get you into recovery/download mode
Getting into these modes is a matter of timing and as with everything takes practice
What I normally do is :
If the phone is powered off
Press power button until phone vibrates then immediately release power button then striaght away before s8 powered by android logo press and hold together at the same time vol up ( or down ) + bixby + power buttons together until in desired mode.
Same goes if rebooting from system
Press power button to bring up power menu hit restart when screen goes blank press and hold button configuration until in desired mode
It's all a matter of getting the timing right
My phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy J7 powered by Android screen. Holding down power and volume down buttons for few seconds make the screen disappear for a moment, the phone vibrates, then it returns to the same screen again. How can I fix that? (I guess its because I chose older .img file from twrp.me/Devices/ because the newest one did nothing when I was trying to install TWRP.) I dont have enough posts to post on the developer thread so I posted here
Please help
Approx. battery right now is 65%
Edit: I cant go into recovery mode I have tried alot of times already
Well basically be sure that you're doing the recovery mode procedure right. Try holding the volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Then let go of the power button when you see the phone logo but remain holding down the volume up + home button. Wait for a while, the recovery mode page should pop up shortly.
Try vol. Up+power+home button. When samsung logo appears go off power button only, keeping the vol. Up and home button pressed. Check if you can enter recovery mod, if not download firmware for your drvice(download the correct latest firmware for your model) in to your pc. Flash it via odin.
