Hello everybody,
First of all, please forgive my time to time poor english. I tried to fill in my presentation and hope it's ok.
I also want to thanks all the developpers that make a great job to optimise and/or improve stock roms and to help people like me that are not so good in developping.
Let me explain my problem :
I've just bought the Samsung note 9 SM-N960F/DS I was dreaming of.
when I put my sim card inside (a french one) he went on a firmware update, and my phone changed for a french CSC (XEF). Thus, I losed some functions I like, such as SpO2 measure in Samsung Health (I know, it's not so important but...). I couldn't also force the sound in earplugs when phone whas ringing, even by using "Soundabout apk" that was working with my note 4....
I don't know why Samsung changes the available functions regarding the country as we pay the same price for in fact a bunch of functions !!!
I tried to come back to the initial CSC, by flashing an official rom, and following a tutorial on XDA site explaining how to do without rooting, using combination files.
But I certainly made an error as my phone has restarted in a curious mode named "kernel panic upload mode" that I cannot escape. It's impossible to go back to download mode, even with combo like vol down + start button, or other combinations of buttons.
This phone wasn't rooted and i'm afraid now as I don't know how to flash a working rom on it. Whem I use Odin, the flashin fails at beginnig (at setup connection step).
Does somebody have an idea or a solution to fix this phone?
I join some picture of the current state.
Thanks for your answers

Are you able to get into recovery mode using the button combo?

Hello Enzyne,
Thanks for your help !
I tried Vol up + Bixby + start, vol down + bixby + start, vol up + start, vol down + start, vol up + vol down + start, but nothing works.
I can't go back to recovery mode nor to download mode...
Odin says "added" but can't setup connection...
Have you flashed with this PC before using Odin? Can you possibly try another PC? Maybe different USB cables just to eliminate possibilities.

I used stock cable, given with the phone.
I gonna try with another one, and on anotehr PC... Maybe will I be lucky... But i'm not optimitic...
It could be that the drivers are no good. It is also possible that you may need a warranty exchange. I'm not aware of any other boot-loader level recovery process besides odin. Maybe even try another version of odin that is known to work with our note 9.

The Kernel Panic Upload Mode doesn't prevent the phone from booting to Recovery.
1. Make sure your phone is completely powered off.
2. Press and hold the Bixby button and the Volume up button.
3. Press and hold the Power button. At this point you should be holding down three buttons. Don't let these go until you see the Recovery screen pop up.
That's really all there is to it. If you have a case that goes over your buttons it's possible you aren't pressing down hard enough for one or more of the buttons to register.

Not to nit-pick,but,when the phone is fully powered down,the simultaneous 3-button push can be released as soon as you see the Note 9 splash screen & the recovery screen should pop-up within a few seconds.
Only reason I mention it is possibly the OP is experiencing issues by holding one or more of the buttons in too long,(just spit-ballin' here on this point)............

Hi Koliosis, and thanks for your help.
In fact, I even cannot power down the phone !!!
The only thing he does except showing kernel panic is to quickly flash on samsung splash screen when I push together vol down and power button, before to go back on panic kernel screen:crying:
No splash screen with bixby + vol up + power buttons combo...
The problem came after a failed flash with combined files (the good ones for my phone, I verified...)
Is there another way to reinitialise the phone except via Odin or Smart switch?

You got me there, I haven't used ODIN since the Note 5 days, LOL. (FWIW, I boot to recovery for cache wipe, otherwise, that's as deep as I've gotten into a Samsung device for quite some time).

I cross all I can !!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
To get the Note 9 into download mode, do the following:
Turn the device off. Hold the volume down and Bixby button together and then plug in your USB cable that is attached to your PC. Your phone should go into download mode.
As this requires the phone to be off, you may get lucky once the battery runs out of charge.
Good luck

I've never had an issue with holding the buttons too long, but I have had an issue with not holding them long enough. I let go of the buttons as soon as the Recovery screen comes up and I haven't once had an issue with that. I think he'd have to hold the buttons for several seconds past the Recovery screen booting up before this caused an issue.

Okay, now we're on the same page. You have to be FAST with this.
1. Plug in a charging cable. This will give you the LED charging indicator on your phone.
2. Hold Power+Bixby until the charging indicator turns off. Once the charging indicator turns off you have to be VERY quick with step 3.
3. Press and hold Power+Bixby+Volume Up until you see the Recovery screen.
I was stuck in a bootloop after installing a Magisk module, and this happened to me as well. Every time I would power the phone down it wouldn't stay powered down. I had to be very fast to get into Recovery. It took me a couple of tries to press and hold the buttons quickly enough. That was partially because the case on my phone made pressing the buttons a bit more difficult.

Doesn't work as well :crying:
Is there another way to force connection with the PC in order to flash a rom again? Another "magic" application like odin but more powerfull?
The only thing that im aware of is very legacy like QPST. Im not sure if QPST is able to handle the newer phones tho. You can definitely ruin your phone with it too.
Hi again Enzyme
I looked on Google for QPST. But it seems it's only for Qualcom powered phones... mine is Exynos powered. ..

While trying to restore my phone to default, my computer installed at&ts firmwire to my phone. It won't start, just flashing the at&t screen. The original firmwire were JP2. How can I restore the phone back to the download state or do I have a brick in my hand?
Can u enter download mode?
- Remove Battery for about 1 Minute
- Reinsert Battery
- Press VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER
- Now you should see a yellow triangle. This is the download mode.
- Start flashing a fresh firmware with Odin (see big faq thread for infos http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596)
Nope, it only shows either black screen or the at&t logo...
Well some galaxy s phones have download mode disabled, looks like you've bricked.

JTAG service will be available in Finland shortly.
Voids the warranty, ain´t cheap either... But less anyway than the price of new motherboard at service.

Or:
If that doesn't work, or if your phone is frozen:
1. Turn the power off. If your Samsung Galaxy S is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power button
7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

And there was a trick something like phone off loading press home and vol down
It seems that the firmware installation didn't finish properly, so the device boots every time after showing the at&t logo. And odly when you plug the usb (datacable or charcher) it dies. But when you take it off the device start againg with the logos.
Did you tried the hard reset ?

i think we had the "at&t" bootloader topic several times already or didn't we? i feel very sorry for you jontsku but i'm pretty sure that your device can only be restored by jtag or changing the board. what i don't understand is why people still use the captivate version of odin to flash (destroy) their phones ... maybe some mod should put a huge blinking warning in the howto-flash section ...
and @
Americans must go to hell...
Click to expand...

lol, it's only your fault for not reading enough before flashing and choosing the wrong odin/firmware
OK, I've been reading here for 6 days all manner of Captivate unbricking. Here is my story...
I picked up a Captivate on the Rogers network. I connected it to my email server (Exchange 2010) with no problems, poked around, noticed the lag, noticed the SMS time issue, then promptly rooted, installed clockwork, and then threw cognition 2.2 beta 9.1.3. Quite frankly I was shocked at how much faster it was.
Anyways, after a day of poking around, I could not get my email to my exchange server running (tried the email.pak floating about), so I actually decided I was going to go back to the backup I made of my phone using clockwork before I installed cognition. When I restored my backup, I thought I had bricked my phone.
I let it rest for a day, then came back here, and found one of the 3-4 different variations of the 4 button download mode combo that permitted me to do the 1 click restore. This restored me to the AT&T version of 2.1. It worked, but was less than desirable.
I decided that at that point I really wanted to go back to stock, so I downloaded the stock backup on the Rogers Captivate wiki page, and did the restore using clockwork. The phone has not been the same since.
When i turn it on, I get an at&t splash screen, then in about 20 seconds I get the at&t "jingle", but the splash screen stays on. I can't seem to find any key combination that will permit me to get back into download mode so I can restore using the One Click that worked for me the first time. I have tried:
1. 3 button salute with USB in first, battery out initially.
2. 3 button salute with USB plugged in *as* I was inserting the battery.
3. Power and volume down (both with and without USB, and with battery being plugged in after USB and "during" insertion of battery)
4.Power and volume up with same combo's as #3.
5. Just volume up and volume down with same combo's as #3.
In all cases Odin was running before USB connected, running as administrator. I'm running 64bit windows, but I'm sure I have the correct drivers because I did this the first time with Odin and download mode and I haven't added or changed anything. But just for arguements sake I did uninstall, and then install the drivers again.
Any combination of power and volume buttons just gives me a battery charging logo. Occasionally when holding up until the second black screen I will get a quick indication that the computer might see something, but it dissappears withing a handful of seconds showing it promptly removed.
I'm downloading the Android SDK in the hopes that when I get the normal at&t splash screen after the "jingle" that something might actually be running in the background and maybe I can adb reboot download it but I'm not holding my breath.
Anyone seen this that has managed to get out of it? I'm starting to think the "unbrickable captivate" can be bricked. Assuming it is bricked, short of taking it back, is there anyone on the internet that can jtag these and in some fashion bring back to life?
Cheers,
Tim

and download mode is easy.
1. start odin3 and have data cable plugged into the computer
2. insert proper files if needed
3. hold volume up and volume down for 2 sec (no power button needed) then insert usb cable, continue to hold volumes till either the download mode screen pops up or odin3 sees the phone(if you bork the phone bad enough you can corrupt the download mode image, i did it with the not to successfull manhatten project kernel) but despite the screen being black it very well may be in download mode.
4. start flash
5. if it doesn't work send it to me ill find a use for it
alternatively if the phone can go passed the splash screens and boots fully you can adb reboot download. just get the development kit and drivers on your pc.

just to be clear, you are holding volume up as well as volume down starting with the phone being powered down and continue to hold them after you plug in usb untill something shows on the screen?
if your phone is not seeing the volumes buttons you are one of the very unlucky few that had a problem at the most inopportune moment.
there is also a way where you hold all three buttons till the phone reboots twice, or something. let me try it and ill give more specifics.

Pull the battery, open odin, plug usb into computer, hold vol up and down, plug usb into phone still holding vol buttons, drop in battery still holding vol buttons, when dl screen pops up and yellow com port lights up in odin release volume buttons. Do not touch power button at any time
Swyped...and sorry I don't proofread
Have you tried rebooting into recovery mode instead of download mode? Stock recovery is adb-ready and you should be able to adb reboot download. Its a long shot if you're having problems using button combo to get to d/l mode, but it's probably still worth a shot at this point.
If you were able to use 3 button combos before all this happened, and did NOT have to install the 3 button combo fix, its strange you don't have access to it now... Could restoring a Rogers Cappy to AT&T stock be the problem?

Yes, that's exactly correct. I do this:
1. everything pulled (battery, USB, sim, sd)
2. Open Oden (1 click)
3. Install battery
4. hold down (and keep holding) volume up and volume down
5. insert USB cable
6. depress (i.e. don't hold) power button
Goes straight to battery charging indicator.
If I swap #6 with holding the power button down, it continually reboots while just barely showing the battery charging indicator. I've tried letting go between black screens on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th black screen. Still no android dude with the shovel.
Try all the steps you stated but not the last one where you press the power button. Don't press the power button.

Trying to get into recovery mode gets me the at&t logo and the "jingle", but no recovery mode menu to reboot, etc.
This is what I'm worried about, restoring the Rogers stock over top of the Odin 1 click restore (which is an AT&T image) has bricked it and prevents download mode from invoking.

I know, I played with adb before I bricked it. ADB needs to "see" the phone, it no longer sees it (I have three computers, all three can't see it, but they can see my friends cappy with no problems first time, every time). Same process for his phone works every time to get into download mode, but not on mine.
And yes, have tried other USB ports on the same computer, both on the mainboard, and on the front ports.
Keep the ideas coming though please, I will try every one.

There's a trick to prompt download mode through a "jig" which you can hack together for about $2 in parts and a sacrificial microUSB cable...it works on the other SGSes, but I think it should work on the Captivate as well. Never tried it personally...

Cheers,
I bricked one today as well. Exactly what you are talking about here. The only thing is that i was still under the 30days so i swapped it out for a new one. As of right now ive been debating whether i want to do the voodoo fix (which i think is what bricked it to begin with)
Power everything was working this morning
Noticed that my power button wasn't working...the screen stayed on. Pulled battery, put it back in and the phone booted without pressing power.
Was like "wtf?"
When it booted, I couldn't turn off the screen.
So I just left the battery out and took it home.
Put a new rom on phone, thought "This will fix it."
Wrong.
Had to flash using Rom Manager because in recovery the power button doesn't respond.
When it began to boot "AT&T Screen" wouldn't disappear and show me some Doc's v4.
I can manipulate it to boot into recovery but the power button doesn't work still.
I can NOT get it to go into recovery.
Can someone helps me?

have ODIN open, and battery removed from phone... hook up usb, hold both vol keys, while inserting battery... you should get download mode fine even with a busted power button... what you do next is up to u....
Once more, I can NOT get it to boot into recovery in that fashion.
I cannot place batter in the phone without it attempting to boot
(doesn't not get past the AT&T boot screen)
I cannot plug it up, hold volume buttons and then put in battery because it will just charge. If I unplug the phone, the phone still thinks it's charging actually.
My question really is Can I 'fix' the power button, or can I reboot it into download mode through command propt? I've never used ADB to access my phone, so that'll be new.

Once more, I can NOT get it to boot into recovery in that fashion.
I cannot place batter in the phone without it attempting to boot
(doesn't not get past the AT&T boot screen)
I cannot plug it up, hold volume buttons and then put in battery because it will just charge. If I unplug the phone, the phone still thinks it's charging actually.

Dude... recovery is useless right now, you have a busted power button... and because of 'said busted power button', none of what you're trying to do is going to work... like youve said...
You are down to trying to force download mode with USB cord, holding the vol keys, and inserting the battery... ADB cannot run commands to a phone stuck at the boot screen... Thread title says, how to reboot to download, and with the button like it is, all you can do is what i've posted...
As to fixing the power button, i don't see why that's not possible... do u feel it press at all?

Yeah, it 'presses' and 'clicks'. I mean it worked most of the day, it got low on power and it just quit working.
Any luck forcing download by puttin the battery in while the usb is hooked up with the vol keys pressed in?
I was having the same problem with my power button and eventually the power button stopped working completely even though i could still hear it click. I sent it to mobiletechvideos and they fixed it really fast and it was a great price.

goes into boot-loop like if I were holding the volume up/down and the power together. That's what doesn't make sense.

And I could buy another used Captivate for $50. I have an upgrade in less than 3 weeks and this happens
It happened to me once before after flashing a bad kernel. I just did what B-Naughty had suggested. Remove battery -> plug in USB -> hold both volume buttons --> then insert battery. Put me right in download mode and Odin it back with a working power button. Unless it's really a hardware problem, then you're out of luck...

Oh in that case imo i would get another used captivate and wait for the sgs 3
Maybe if I went to a store and sucked up to them they'd let me upgrade a month early (especially since I was initially supposed to upgrade in October)
Might be down to getting/making a USB jig if it don't come up... but if you upgrade to gs2, the jig will work for that model as well so won't be wasted...

Maybe a jig would work. But easier, funner solution is adding a line for a Moto Atrix 1 for just a penny plus the $36 fee. Problem solved. Thanks for the help for what could just be a hardware failure. I'll upgrade my other line later when the SGS 3 comes out
Hey guys!
I'm using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 gt - i9305.
When I tried to open the hard reset menu by pressing the volume up + power + home button it went into the download mode and got completely stuck over there. The phone has no charge left. When I try to charge, it automatically boots up and again shows the "Downloading do not turn off target" but it doesn't get charged. If I press and hold the power button the screen goes black for sometime and then again it's in the Downloading mode. No matter whatever key combinations I use, this is what happens. Please suggest me some ways to fix this. I don't have a PC, so it would be great if you suggest me how to get my phone back without using a PC. But I do have another working phone.
Please guys help me.
Thank you.

it seems like you have something wrong with the keys circuits, you need to make a hardware check on that phone.
the volume down key and home key must be stuck(like always pressed).
No they're not stuck. I'm able to press and hold them. The phone actually responds to this, first the screen goes black and after awhile again the download mode is on.:crying:

i know you can press them, it's something in the board itself, circuits are touched or something like that, i can't explain because I'm not a good English speaker in "electronic stuff".

Do the 3-button trick,but,use volume+,to boot to recovery,then select d/l mode from there,or,follow this guide:

You should be able to get into Recovery Mode using the standard vol up, bixby and power button combo.
Turn the device off. While plugging in the USB cable, hold the volume down and Bixby button. Phone should go into download mode. Worked every single time I've done it. I even just did it using my zero lemon battery case without a USB cable.
Is the Bootloader & Modem the correct ones. When I follow the link/URL it says S9 & S9+ NOT NOTE 9. This could be the reason my phone is stuck in Boot Loop.
turn off the device and connect the cable while pressing and holding bixby and vol down button the press the power button.
I don't seem to be able to enter download mode as well. I have tried all the methods provided and still unable to achieve this.
Anyone can help with this??
Hold volume down and bixby button together only.. Not power button. And then holding the buttom down and bixby put the cable in it should then go to to the download mode

it called volume down. lol
and phone must be powered off.
download mode
I recently acquired an unlocked note 9 that kept giving me playstore has stopped working messages. I fixed this, but am pretty sure its a crappy android download that was making this happen. I want to install a fresh copy of android (8.1 is what is on this phone) and I can't get into download mode to do it. When I use the buttons, I got several chinese characters that when translated were not much help. Using the buttons and cable method only caused the phone to reboot back into the crappy android I want to replace. I attempted to sideload the adb and got file error messages saying it could not be read. Any help is greatly appreciated. SM-N960F is the model number. I've wasted so much time on this and just really would like to get it working correctly.

u sure its not a fake? lol
to get to downoad mode u simply hold vol down power and bixby from powered off state
or power off hold vol down n bixby while plugging it in
its that simple
or go to stock recovery then reboot to bootloader from there

None of this works. I never even thought it could be fake since it has all the original parts and box. How would I tell if this is the case? It certainly could be.
Thanks

I'd first look at the S-Pen. The butt end will click in and out of the pen, and the tip should be plastic that's a little soft to the touch. If the tip is metal, it's most definitely fake.
well change usb cable. may be usb cable have some issue.
