Question Frozen In Download Mode - Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)

I've been at this for three days and can't find a solution. I can get in to recovery but when I hit reboot to bootloader it gets stuck in download mode. I can get back out.And the cycle repeats.... Have also done a reset. Any solutions for this besides sending it in for service? Thanks

Have you analyzed the logs available through recovery mode?

Don't do anything hastily. Your phone should be fully operational before you install TWRP.

Huh??? Reboot to bootloader is SUPPOSED to take to download mode. Where are you trying to get?

It does take me there..It freezes at download mode!!!!

So you can’t boot to system? Or you can’t use download mode?

The system works fine. Just can't use download mode..Not allowing to connect with adb fastboot.

You need to explain what you mean by that and what things you did before this occured. Have you tried getting to download manually? By that I mean turning the tablet off and then holding vol up and down while plugging in the USB cable to the PC. Also, what happens when you try to boot to system?

Ah, so your problem is only that you can't use fastboot. Have you installed TWRP? This model doesn't support fastboot by itself. You have to first install TWRP to use fastboot.

You need to read this thread to install TWRP. You do it with Odin and not fastboot. Odin is what Samsung uses INSTEAD of fastboot.

I cannot install TWRP,..
1.I Shut down
2.Press power and Vol up button
3.Gets in Recovery
4. I scroll to Reboot to bootloader
5. Goes into download mode. Freezes
6.Press power and Vol down buttons
7.Goes back to home screen
8. Rinse and repeat

Do you have Odin running? Do you get the "added message" in Odin? That is the only way to tell if it is connected. You say it "freezes" but that is normal. So long as you get the added notice in Odin, you are ready to flash. If you don't get the "added" message, then you have to enter the download mode manually and NOT from the recovery menu. Also, have you unlocked the bootloader? That has to be the very first step. Nothing will work till you do that.

I think I know what your problem is. You've had other tablets and have always used fastboot for rooting, unlocking and flashing. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. Samsung doesn't work like other tablets. The ONLY time you use fastboot with this device is AFTER you have unlocked it, installed TWRP, rooted and want to install a GSI ROM. You DO NOT use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, root the tablet or flash TWRP, stock ROMs or custom ROMs. You can find instruction for unlocking the bootloader here. It is for the A7 but the A8 unlocks the same way. Then use the other link I posted for installing TWRP.

ONG he was using fastboot.

My understanding is different. The problem is that the download mode can't be started because there is a hangup. So how can you use Odin, which requires a working phone in download mode?

If you can boot to TWRP recovery, then you can ADB push a ROM to recovery and boot it.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the fact that TWRP had been deleted too.

No, if you can boot to TWRP, as @rootSU said, you can move a ROM to internal and get up and running. Then you can go about unlocking.

Power off the device. Once completely shut down, hold power and volume down until bootloader screen appears. Then use the volume keys to select recovery. Then push power to select.
from your original post, it says your not running twrp anymore. have you tried just letting the phone try to boot up? have you tried reflashing twrp to your phone via fastboot. id try, and if its successful, id push a rom to my phone then. if not, try flashing a factory img.

OnePlus 3t recovery boot loop

Hi everyone.
I have a OnePlus 3t. It's not rooted and bootloader is locked. The current state of my device is that the screen is completely black and shows no LEDs. I know leaving it for a few hours it will come back on, this is due to me getting into fastboot and turning off the phone. It was stuck in recovery. Everytime it was on it would boot to recovery. I've tried deleted cache, resetting and it was doing nothing. Can anyone help me as to how to fix this? I know it's not a hardware issue. Tried to research on here but I'm at a loose end.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I would try flashing the OOS ROM again. This might fix the problem.
Also, you should have posted this in the OnePlus 3T q&a forum, not here.

I mean the official Oxygen OS installation file that you can download from https://downloads.oneplus.com/ (if you're using OOS 5.0.8) or from https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...genos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119/post75026505 (if you're using OOS 9.0.3 or 9.0.4)
And I believe you can sideload it via ADB, though I've never actually done that using the stock recovery.

So I did as you said, sideloaded the file via ADB. It says installation successful. I rebooted and then it boots into recovery again. Thanks for that though, still stuck however.

You could try this:
unlock bootloader

install any custom rom
I would take Dirty Unicorns, bacause file is not so big and works definitly without problems on my phone
https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/.../du_oneplus3-v13.4-20190707-1336-OFFICIAL.zip
perhaps is then the problem solved and you can install OxygenOS 9.0.4 again...

Install the adb - platform tools v28.0.1 on your PC.
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power. The phone will display "fastboot" text indicating that it has successfully entered fastboot mode.
Plug the phone into your PC, then open a command prompt window on the desktop (Shift + Right Click -> Open Command Window here) and type:
fastboot oem unlock
then
fastboot reboot
After that reboot into fastboot again and install TWRP...

I used the hard brick method which successfully completed but it still boots into recovery. I am now thinking that there is an issue with the volume buttons, so therefore I think I need to disassemble the phone and replace the volume buttons.

Root rog 2

Hello everyone, i got rooted Rog Phone 2 and after rooting my rog phone 2 i dont have wifi signal anymore. i unroot my phone by flashing stock + tried flashing stock boot.img but wifi is still not working, what happened and how can i fix it?
@Barcovn Would you like to share how to deal with this?

Right! As I haven't got the phone yet, didn't find out that new OTA have different boot.img. So as for now, rooting means just firmware on website is usable.
In the future if there is an update you will need to unroot, flash the original boot. Flash the rom update and then extract the new boot, patch it with magisk and flash the new patched boot to enjoy root again.
Personally I would rather stay on stock enjoy the timely OTA updates and keep my warranty.

There is no such option with the stock recovery. Any way why do you need that. You don't need to use ADB commands to flash the patched boot.img.

There used to be a fastboot mode on the ROG phone on Android Oreo, i am not sure if things changed with Android Pie.
Anyway try the hardware method to connect, turn your phone off and connect it to the PC using the side port make sure to hold the low volume key when connecting the phone to the PC. See if a fastboot mode black screen shows up.
If not:
On the bootloader screan the second one you showed. On your PC after going to your platform tools and running the cmd window from there type the command:
Fastboot devices
Does it recognize your device?, if it does run the 2 commands stated in step 8. But do it on your own risk if something goes wrong you might brick the device and if you are not able to flash back the stock boot i am afraid you will end up with a bricked device until a solution is suggested.
I can't get into fast boot mode. Tried all options, volume up, volume down, usb, no usb, debugging on, debugging off...
No luck.
$20 for whoever helps me get this thing rooted.

After flashing TWRP and still in fastboot, hold power and vol+. Keep both held while it reboots, it takes a few seconds. When the Redmi logo appears and the phone vibrates release the power button. Keep holding the vol+ button until it boots into TWRP.

this was the first thing i tried, but it keeps rebooting to fastboot, if i hold it longer it wil just reboot again. i've tried miflash, but miflash can't find a flash all.bat and when i go into explorer i can't find it either.
problem solved, i installed another version of twrp, deleted it and reinstalled the first one. thanks for all answers, it really helped along
Hey glad to hear you solved the issue. What version of TWRP did you end up flashing and what tool did you use to flash it? I'm facing a similar issue.

I can't answer for OP, but he looks to have abandoned the thread.
What I can recommend from personal experience is that using latest version of TWRP - I think it's 4.3.3 (can't tell you exactly, as I'm writing this without checking my laptop on which I have the TWRP and ROM files) - will resolve all your problems.
Thanks for your reply I actually just managed to get root/TWRP/Magisk to work. A lot of the TWRP recovery images that I encountered just caused the phone to boot loop or get stuck on fastboot mode.
The TWRP that worked for me was twrp-3.3.1-15-raphael-mauronofrio.img
following:

Would you be able to post the download link you got your TWRP version from? And maybe go into a little more detail about the reinstalling order (if that is important)?
Also the "mauronofrio" version didn't work (I have the Mi 9T), are there any other options out there?
Many thanks for any responses

Did you ever get this solved? I'm in a similar situation after what I thought was a normal ROM flashing.
EDIT: Nevermind. Got it fixed using MiFlash.

Hey sorry didn't see your reply... I haven't had time in the last month to look at it so I'm still stuck. How did you fix it using MiFlash? Did you make it force load TWRP onto the phone or something?
I think there is definitely something wrong with the partition, as when I plug it into the computer it no longer comes up in "my computer" - although I do have the MIUI recovery working again.
Cheers

I just flashed a full fastboot MIUI ROM in fastboot using the MiFlash portable tool. No need to do anything in recovery.
Edit: You can find fastboot ROMs from the OP of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647/ (labeled as ...fastboot)

I'm still not able to get TWRP working... I think all of my problems will be solved as soon as I can get into it, but each time I load the recovery image on (using command prompt) it says it completes, but when I try to reboot it into recovery mode it never works (if I use command prompt to reboot into recovery it just shuts down but if I hold the button combination it either reboots back into fastboot or the original MIUI recovery mode - and yes, I am using the right button combinations).
I've tried every version of TWRP I could find, so I'm certain its not a problem with the recovery image itself... Have you or anyone else had this happen before? It's so infuriating that it just doesn't work, but I don't know why...
BTW the commands I'm using are
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
(which works) and then
Code:
fastboot boot "recovery.img"
(which gives 2 OKs, but the phone just turns off).
(this all after setting the directory to my adb folder)

Question {Solved} Stuck on fastboot

Hey guys.
Yesterday, something weird happend.
I wanted to flash an update (kernel) so I powered off my phone and started it as usual to get into recovery. But the only thing it does, was to start up into fastboot mode.
I'm being able to boot the ROM with
"fastboot continue" when connected to th PC.
First, I thought the recovery was broken so I reflashed it. Nothing happend. Only fastboot mode.
Then reflashed magisk, in the hope it will solve my issue. Nothing.
So what could it be? A broken boot.img? How could it be fixed? Still annoying
Hi,
Are you able to boot into recovery using fastboot boot recovery.img?

yes. that did it. After that, I was being able to power on as usual but not being able to start recovery. not via TRWP or via Vol+Up + Power or even Advanced Reboot -> Recovery.
So, could a reinstallation of the ROM solve the issue?

Ugh... Sorry I'm a but confused
So you flashed the recovery, booted into recovery via fastboot, and you could move around in the TWRP. Is my understanding correct?
Well if you don't have any data, nothing hurts to reinstall the ROM I guess

I'm only able to boot into recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img as you mentioned (I guess it's loaded directly from my HD to the phone but doesn't stay there ). Booting into recovery via Vol-Up+Power doesn't work anymore...

Weird. Haven't encountered this in rn10pro. But something similar happened on my previous phone I remember and that time flashing recovery, booting into it, then restarting to recover had worked. You can give it a shot.
If not wait for a better answer or flash the ROM

I already did that but I'm not being able to start recovery (TWRP) with Vol-Up+Power. It always loads my device into fastboot mode..

Are you typing boot instead of flash?

maybe you should try a fastboot flash of the stock rom for your region. Be careful not to lock the bootloader again. And patient, it takes about 5 minutes...

Yep

Didn't work. Always starts in fastboot. Already tried to flash twrp via twrp but didn't helped.
So I tried to flash my ROM again and that did the trick .
Phone boots normally and I'm able to boot into recovery via advanced restart and Vol-Up+Power.
Thank you guys, for trying to solve the issue.
