My phone wont start anymore it just goes to the att logo and freezes and i also wont go into recovery mode. The model number is SM-G935A.
Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge completely.
Boot into Galaxy S7 recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S7 screen flickers and you see a warning sign.
Press Volume Up to continue to the main screen of Recovery mode. Or, press Volume Down if you aren’t sure and want to go back to the normal mode.
You can also try from totally off, press volume up, home, and power.
Last, it sounds as if you recently tried to root?
If that is the case just get into recovery, I know sometimes it can be a pain to get there, and then factory reset in there and you should be back up and running.

It wont boot into recovery mode it just show recovery booting flashing in blue letters then it restarts regularly
If you do not know what you are doing best bet for you is to take it somewhere to get restored. Safest way is to take it to the Samsung reps inside a Bestbuy call ahead and explain the model so they can start downloading the correct firmware.

My Bell i9000 SGS has been locking up several times a day since I got it. Today I was installing Weather Bug and Weather Channel apps and it locked--now it won't boot at all.
I guess the phone is probably faulty and will need to be exchanged. Nonetheless, I'd feel better if I could factory reset the phone before returning it. I'm always happier when my private info isn't on the phone before returning it...
I tried all the key combos I could find on boot up, none of them do anything. If I keep holding any of them, it just powers the phone off and on repeatedly.

I can't boot up into Android at all.
try recovery mode
hold volume up key + big square home button key + power button key
when you see the screen light up with the B/W Samsung logo, let go of the power button key
then inside the recovery mode, you have the option to Wipe your data

hmmmm..... then you got one of those model where bell disabled the option to go into Recovery Mode / Download Mode
the only thing you can do now is to go back to Bell and have them exchange it or flash it for you.
similar problem, cant get into recovery mode, but if I remove the battery, then hold volume up + home + power then put the battery in, it will get to a screen with the little android dude and it says forced upload mode due to key press. how very odd.
It comes on like this.....my samsung -galaxy tab logo comes in then it disappears...i hear the music (like its about to show me everything but it dont...its a faint light to the tab lik its really on but my screen is blank....help me please...
See if you can get into Recovery. That will help identify if it's something in the software, or something with the hardware.
Power off
Hold Volume Down
Continue holding Volume Down and hold the Power button for about 5 seconds.
Release Volume Down when recovery screen comes up (give up after 15 seconds if you don't see anything)
doesnt work
i tried that... it didnt work....i can get to download mode and thats all ..... i tried the flash back to stock thing with firmware from samfirmware.com,it didnt work....am doing something very wrong......cause my tab still comes on but goes straight off.......volume down and power puts me in download mode
By "didnt work". . . What do you mean? Didnt go into recovery, didnt display. . . ?

To get into recovery you press volume up, not down. That's why he was getting to download mode instead of recovery mode.
Oh, my bad. If the Download screen comes up though, that still answers the question. Try rebooting into recovery and factory reset.

did you have recovery mode?
Have you had any success chubby? Try going into recovery mode if you can like these fine folks have said and see if you can do a Factory Reset
My phone model is I9500
It was just rooted nothing else done worked well since 5-6 months
Then suddenly it went off and the caught up in a boot loop.
I am not able to also open up the recovery or the downloading mode as the phone restarts as soon as i enter the downloading mode.
What to do Help ? :/
Rooting your phone doesn't brick it.
You pressed the wrong volume key so your phone restarts when in download mode warning.
As you have a GT-I9500 i assume you have never updated it (pre-knox) so you should be able to flash it with any firmware by Odin3.
This sounds like a stuck volume button. Give the phone a sharp tap on a table and see if the automatic reboot stops. If it does one of the buttons on the motherboard is stuck and needs replacement.

Don't you mean his power button?
No, volume button. Reason being that it immediately reboots when he enters download mode, as if download mode were cancelled. With the power button, there would be a significant delay before rebooting.
Nevertheless, the buttons come in packs of three. Might as well replace them all.

Aha I understand
Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me?
I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?
Hello,
I've recently tried CF auto rooting my S7 edge, as I've rooted all my previous phones. I must of flashed the wrong ROM and am now stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" screen with the "powered by android" on the bottom. I'm unable to power off the phone, nor go into recovery mode (or any other mode for that matter). When holding down the Volume down + Power + Home button, the phone seems like it 'restarts'. The screen goes black but then it goes right back to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen. Is there anything I am able to do to restore the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
As the phone good black, release the home button, but keep holding the volume down and power. This should place you in download mode.

I've tried every possible button combination, nothing happens. I did manage to solve the issue, I let the phone die then as I plugged the phone into the charger and tried booting into recovery again it worked. No idea what that did, must of been a fluke.
