Download mode?! Flashing possible via fastboot?

Hi everyone,

Having read loads of threads it looks like the only way to root the S7 is via the Download mode.

I have tried all I could but I cannot boot into Download mode. :eek: Power + Vol Down + Home flash the screen a bit and that is it, device does not even boot. I have to let go of the buttons and then boot it with just "Power" button. Also if I try to boot into recovery I only see Droid with open torso in red. Should I try flashing stock recovery? Can someone share it or point me where to get it please?

The best custom boot I get is Fastboot (via adb) or the chinese-menu that allows to wipe the device clean or test sensors etc. When trying to flash TWRP via fastboot I get "FAILED (remote: invalid kernel & ramdisk address: images overlap)"

I have an SM-G930F Snapdragon device (confirmed by CPU Z)

Is there a way to flash TWRP or root the device via fastboot at all? :confused:

Never had a device that I couldn't boot into Download or recovery mode.....

Default Download Location To SD Card?

Hello, as the title insists, I would like to know if there is a way to have my downloads save directly to my SD card. I have my pictures set there but I want my Chrome downloads to automatically download to my SD.

I know you can format the SD card as internal storage in Marshmallow but that really defeats the purpose that I want it to do.

I need to be able to download straight to the SD WITHOUT ENCRYPTING MY SD CARD. So I can easily put the SD card with downloaded files to my computer.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 13 6.0.1 rooted.

Someone please help! :)

LG G4 stuck on LG logo but I have access to "download mode"

My phone just got stuck and won't load up, but I have access to "download mode".
Is it the famous motherboard issue?
flashing an official firmware might solve it?

Thanks,

Stuck on TWRP, cant ADB or Download mode

So I've been messing around with this phone and I've gotten it stuck in TWRP before, but that version had a download mode option and I was able to fix it using odin + the default firmware. This version doesnt seem to have it. My phone is unrecognized by my PC (previously it was), I can't seem to use universal drivers, and ADB reports no devices connected. I have an SD card so I was wondering if there is any way to fix it using that? TrapKernel is also installed. I don't have access to an OTG cable but I'm assuming its my only option? Thank you in advance.

tried this said it was not found. (tried multiple times)

S5 Screen black (but worked in download mode)

Hi,
so my S5(SM-900F) shows a black screen, but is otherwise functional. I don't know if it's a software or hardware issue, neither really makes sense to me.
Here's whats happened:

1. I wanted to flash cyanogenmod, phone seemed functional


2. Tried to flash twrp (3.0.1) with heimdall, got a bunch of errors


3. Tried a bunch of stuff, got it to flash twrp using heimdall-git


4. Phone got stuck in a boot loop


5. At this point I was annoyed and decided to reset it, which I did with kies

Here's where the screen issue started. After booting the screen was black. Phone showed S5 logo upon startup, download mode worked fine.
Touchscreen worked (managed to activate Talkback. In Hungarian), so the hardware seemed fine.

1. Googled and tried the million tips to fix a black screen, nothing worked


2. Screen randomly worked until reboot/lock


3. Fully charged the battery, screen worked until battery was at 70%, then black screen after locking with power button

Here's a kernel log from around that time:
dmesg
Nothing sticks out to me, log shows the backlight being adjusted which might be related.
This is the log I saved however, when I looked at it in the console I saw a few more things (see below)

1. Hoping it was a weird software issue I tried to flash cyanogenmod again, this time got into recovery (had to hold Vol Up+Home for more than half a minute), but got "kernel not seandroid enforcing" upon boot, then black screen and periodical vibration


2. Reset again


3. Wanted to see whether the screen would fail after some time in download mode, worked until battery was empty


4. Suddenly the screen's black in download mode, too, even though it worked for days

Here's a current bugreport.txt containing

Those I also saw before the previous dmesg.
The -19 read bytes seems especially dubious, from a quick look at the source it does not seem like an errno, don't know if it's related to the problem anyway.

Current Android version: 6.0.1
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build: MMB29M.G900FXXS1CPG9

So what's going on? Is this some weird hardware issue? Do the ways download mode and android control the screen differ? What difference does the battery make?
Is it software? Both?

I've searched the forum and found e.g this, but nothing that helped me out.

Thank you for your help,

Restore Download mode from Fastboot

Hi,
I have a d415 that i booted into fastboot mode with and wanted to unlock bootloader with. I then found out that it was already unlocked. Now i would like to restore download incase i screw anything up. I have the laf.img. Where do i go from there? None of the commands i type in fastboot mode work, possibly because i didn't correctly install the fastboot and adb drivers. If that is the problem, can someone give me clear instructions on how to download them, thanks. Instead, i used the basic adb and fastboot files from a different thread from android sdk. Adb doesn't even work anymore for me now. Please help
Thanks a ton in advance!

Problem with Panasonic Eluga Switch software and Download Mode

Hello, i have an Alcatel Idol 3 5,5 (6045) and i decided to root it, so installed all that i needed (drivers, adb ..). But the problem is that i need to unlock the OEM thing, so i need to flash my smartphone to its original stock ROM, so i downloaded the Panasonic Eluga Switch one (which is a rebranded idol 3) and launched it, but the problem it seem that my device CAN'T load in download mode, i tried anything :

Uninstalling/Reinstalling all drivers
Executing the software as administrator
Executing the software with Windows XP compatibility mode
The volume + and - and USB method
The ADB method, it worked for anything else (rebooting in fastboot and recovery mode) but it won't work for the download one, it just reboot normally, i don't know why all is exactly correct, i tested with MTP and PTP usb modes, and in two differents windows, and nothing worked at all. :)

Please, is someone have the solution to boot my stupid idol 3 on download mode i would be grateful to him. Cordially.

default download manager app is gone?

I was on marshmallow, but I downgraded to lollipop so I could root again. Once I was rooted I noticed that that default download app is gone. If I look through all the apps in the settings I see it, but there is no icon in the app drawer so I cant actually open the app.
