Can anyone tell me how to reset to the bootloader? I am wanting to flash the Leo and first i want to install hardspl of course. In the tutorial it says 'hold power button and reset to see the verison'.
when i do that, the volume screen keeps on/active and i can't use tap the reset button. So how is the volume screen made invisible, or is there another keycombination to press when holding volume down?
ok your doing it all wrong
turn the phone off (press and hold call end / power - select power off)
when the phone has turned off-
press and hold the volume down button, keep it pressed down
press the power button briefly (1 second)
when the "red green blue" bootloader screen appears, you can release volume down
as the meerkats say, simples
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a
yep, i apparently did it all wrong! thanks for the explanation

Hey Everyone
Im stuck...
I broke the LCd in my streak (for a second time). And am selling the unit for nearly nothing to a craigslist buyer...
Since the lcd is broken, i cannot get through the menus to do a factory reset...
Can someone give me the step by step to boot and do a factory reset.
I hold both volume up and down, power it up and release the keys. then i need to press either volume up or down to get to the factory reset then press the camera button. I just can't figure out how many times to press each button.
Anyone??
Thanks so much!
Just did a quick check, it's the first option of four so press your v+v- and power, then just press the camera button, should do it for you.
For my case, once holding down volup + voldown and the power button, the recovery screen will appear with the following:
1. Factory Reset
2. Update from update.pkg (Highlighted)
3. Screen calibration
4. Power off
Option 2 was the default highlighted (or selected whichever you want to call it) option.
So i need to press the volup button once to move the selection up to option 1 and then press the camera button.
Am using Simple Streak rom if that makes a difference in the screen display options.
Every instruction says to press Power+Vol Down and hold the Vol down until you see "Fastboot".
But its not true.
You power up with power button as normally and within 2-3 seconds just press the Vol Down key. It will show you the usual "Fastboot" text on your screen. There you can choose as usual with Vol Down key and select with Vol Up.
yeah ..that is true...
Yeah, but holding the volume down button ensures you don't miss that window, then have to go through another reboot cycle.
I think your point is kinda pointless really, but that's just my humble opinion!
i'm still going to press POWER+VOL DOWN together.
Just hold VOL-DOWN then press and release power. Release VOL-DOWN when fast boot appears. You don't have to hold power.
Actually, everything that has been said so far IS true... there is no wrong way to access the boot options whether you hold both the Power Button + Volume Down, Press Power Button then release + Press volume Down after 2-3 sec etc. all of these techniques will get you to the boot menu..
But I think, which is always dangerous, the reason they have said to hold both Power Button + Volume Down Button is because they avoided all the questions like;
when is the right time to press the Volume Down Button
Do I wait 2-3 sec after I press the Power Button
or Do I wait 2-3 sec after the Moto boot logo appears
Why can't I get this right
I tried searching for a way to get into the boot menu and it seems like I keep missing the 2-3 sec window period, can someone please explain to me the right way?
LoL
No need to reinvent something that has been working for everyone thus far.

Update - While holding power button and volume up then letting go of volume up after
2 or 3 seconds while both screen black or on first boot screen for a nano second I
get a standing up android with blue atoms going around it's stomach. then goes
onto the lying down android with red triangle. Will I need to insert an sd card with some
kind of software downloaded on it for this whole format to work?
Here's all the problems. Woke up in morning and tablet chose to be stuck on 'android' animated(shine effect going across 'Android')
boot screen. I have made no modifications to the files etc, just stopped working.
To help you maybe know what tablet i got here are the two boot screens:
(Well i would post images if the forum didn't have silly restrictions on it)
#1
s9.postimage.org/7e6ws3f73/CIMG3093.jpg
#2
s8.postimage.org/4xsov8n8l/CIMG3094.jpg
Anyway looked all over the net and the seen power button & volume key and it doesn't work. Here's what I get and what i tried.
#1 (tried both volume key plus and minus button)
Hold volume and power button until first screen
appears then next let go of power button but still holding
volume key just goes and get stuck at 'android logo' screen.
(I have also carried on holding power button through to second load screen too.
But! Holding down power button and volume up button until 1st screen with tiny
little android in circle then releasing power button takes me to the green android lying down
with red triangle
#2 (tried both volume key plus and minus button)
Hold power button until first screen appears
then next hold volume key and still holding
volume key but release power button just goes and get stuck at 'android logo' screen.
(I have also carried on holding power button through to second load screen too.)
Basically to cut it short I have looked via google search and come across plenty of forums
and tried to access the screen which lets me format the device but so far has become uncessesful
I hope the images help you know which device I have and also the photo of the tablet it's self to help you know
(it has no buttons on it except the power and volume key and has no small(tiny) or big reset button to press
from what I can tell.
(Again i would post an image here too if it didn't have silly restrictions)

Hi all.
I have a phone Samsung 920I not "L"
OK to start from the beginning. I am new to this and followed steps from watching Channel48 on YouTube. Not blaming him it's just so you have an Idia of where I got my info from.
Instlled Odin
I installed twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroflte.img and it didn't work.
I then found twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img and installed it over the top, Now works when booting into recovery.
I then installed 920F Samsung recover file that was only about 25Mb in size and got my phone working again.
left it for a day then tried again.
Installed twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img with Oden. works
Installed: EvolutionX_4.1.69_zerofltexx-10.0-20200331-0232-OFFICIAL Works I was happy Looked at "About" and it now says my phone is 920F :/ Andoird 10 cool it works so who cares if it says 920F right!!!
I then booted back into Recovery and Installed: open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200228 and that said it successfully installed and I swiped to restart the phone.
My phone powered off and that's where this ends.
I have tried holding the power button for about 30sec and nothing happens I tried plugging into the charger and it doesn't respond to show it's charging
Is there something I can do now or is the phone dead This is my main phone as I love the Samsung S6 over the rest because it has the main buttons, not on touchscreen and IR so I can use the phone as a remote.
Thanks
edit. update
I got my phone working again. I will leave this thread incase someone else asks the same thing.
How I got my phone to work again. This is what I found on Google search and I will BOLD the option that turned my phone on.
Press and hold Power button for more than 20 seconds to check whether it turns on your phone or not.
Press and hold Volume Up button for a few seconds and without releasing the Volume up button, press and hold Power button until your screen displays something.
Press and hold Volume Up button for a few seconds and without releasing the Volume up button, press and hold the Power + Home buttons until your screen displays something.
Press and hold Volume Down button for a few seconds, without releasing the Volume down button, press and hold Power button (totally 2 buttons) until your screen displays something.
Press and hold Volume Down button for a few seconds and without releasing the Volume down button, press and hold Power button + Home button until your screen displays something.
I tried turning on my phone (Galaxy S20FE) by plugging it into my PC with a USB cable & holding down volume up & down buttons. The phone only had volume buttons & a power button, so now that the power button has fallen out, I only have the volume buttons https://19216811.cam/ https://1921681001.id/ .
Anyways, after I tried this, I get a warning, "A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel. Volume up: Continue ; Volume down: Cancel (reset phone) ; Side key: Show barcode."
If there's an option to reset phone, why isn't there an option just to restart?When I click volume up, it gets stuck on a downloading screen. It says I can cancel & restart the phone by holding down the power button & volume down, which obviously isn't something I can do. I got out of the downloading screen by unplugging from PC & waiting a while.
What are my options?
Welcome to XDA.
Repair or replace the assembly. Part of the core functionality of the phone... you need it.
If the battery is older then 1 or 2 years replace as well. Make sure to replace the back cover seal to preserve waterproofing.
Have a good repair shop do this if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

1. Use a blunt pin or something like that to press the power button area.
2. The options you see by holding down the volume buttons whilst connected to the PC is expected behaviour. You can press Volume Down button on that screen to cancel the warning and restart the phone.
'Reset' here means restart. It really is a wrong term to use and is confusing. Reset means to undo user changes and restore something to default state.
XDA should issue a clarification on this term instead of 'brick', whose usage has been far less confusing and fairly clear.
