Can't enter Download Mode?!?! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

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.

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.

[GUIDE] - How to reboot into recovery mode using the power and volume-up button

I see a lot of people saying they cannot get into recovery mode with power+vol-up.
This is because its not that simple.
To get into recovery mode, you should reboot the phone by or while simultaneously holding the power and the volume up buttons.
But the trick is to release the power button when you see the big android logo/text while still holding the volume-up button.
Good luck!

[Galaxy A5 SM A500FU] Can't enter to download mode/recovery menu

Hello i have a problem with my galaxy A5 2015 (SM A500FU) i cant enter to a download mode and recovery menu. I locked my phone by pin and i dont remember this pin. I tried (vol-, home, power / vol+, home power / vol-, power / vol+ power / all buttons ) I tried to still press them after logo samsung and let go this buttons after logo samsung nothing happend. Also tried vol-, home, power and my phone still reseting on samsung logo when i pressing buttons, tried put cable usb on stil nothing. ADB dont see my phone couse i cant enable debugging. Any ideas how to reset my device?
no idea
For recovery hold vol+, home, power button. For download mode it is vol-, home power button.
Make sure you press them all at the same time. It is not necessary to keep holding them once android logo and phone model shows up.

Boot loader (download mode)aka odin mode of samsung phone is super strong can't be corrupted.
Have to shutdown fully leave it for some minutes at least 2...4 min then try to enter download mode following my directions
In the power down status press and hold the "Vol Down" and "Bixby" buttons, while holding all the buttons connect your phone to your PC using a USB data cable. You will see volume press keys to enter download mode or not.
Again
To boot device into Bootloader (connect the USB cable and quickly hold Volume-Down and Bixby or hold Volume-Down and Power until the device reboots and quickly hold Volume-Down and Bixby).
Then you can odin your firware WITH home_csc so your data won't be lost and fone will boot up. But if it wont boot then use CSC which will factory reset and you will lose data.

Fix bootloop Galaxy Tab A 10.1 [SM-T510]

Hi, my device is boot-looping forever. I cannot enter recovery (I have TWRP installed). I cannot even switch it off.
What I have tried:
- normal switch off through power button (device is not switching off). It always restarts itself
- reboot to recovery (Power + Vol Up)
- reboot to bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
- force hard reset (Power + Vol Down for 7 seconds, then Power + Volume Up)
None is working.
Can I enter the recovery, maybe issuing some commands from a computer?
Any other option I could try?
Thanks!

No, the PC won't help. The trick is to hold power and vol down and as soon as the screen blanks, switch from VOL down to up, while keeping power button pressed. You have to be quick when switching or it will just bootloop again. And the cable shouldn't be plugged in.
Thanks, this helped. I recovered from the bootloop.
Hi, I'm stuck in bootloop too. The fix above isn't working for me. Could somebody discribe the process a bit differently please? Maybe I'm doing it wrong? What exactly is the time to switch from volume down to up?
My bootloop shows the Samsung logo then a warning about unlocked bootloader with prompt to press power and then the Samsung bootlogo again. Inbetween the screen turns of for a few seconds.
I was able to go to download mode by connecting the tablet to my pc and pressing vol + and - at the same time. Then I installed the nexus rom by Magendanz. Made a factory reset and format data in twrp. Everything is fine now.
