[Q] Is there another method to boot into downloading mode? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to root my GT7510 (wifi only) and can't get into downloading mode to use odin. I tried posting in that forum, but i do not have enough posts. I have tried the volume down + power button method, but all it does is reboot the tab over and over. If it makes any difference i am on build HMJ37.UEKME P7510UEKME. Should i do a factory restore and try before applying any updates? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you releasing the power button or just continuously holding it down? If it's the latter, that's your problem. Hold volume down, and hold the power button down. As soon as the first Samsung screen pops up, release the power button immediately while still holding the volume down button. You should get into bootloader mode.

Wow, i feel pretty dumb now lol. That was it. I thought it was like getting into the CWM on my epic. Thank you!

No problem! I was new once too, I actually made the same mistake with my Vibrant, trying to get it into download mode.

I like how easy it is to get into download mode on the galaxy tab compared to how I had to do it on the Vibrant

Huge problem! Can't get into DL mode!

Hey guys, I really need your help with this one.
I accidentally reset my Vibrant back to stock using the Odin one-click (I897UCJF6 final) for the samsung captivate. Now I can't go into download mode. I've tried holding the up/down volume button then putting the battery in (vibrant way) and the captivate way with up/down volume button + power button then releasing the power button.
Hold Up and down button, put battery in, then put in your USB cable. Make sure you dont press the power button.
Or
Get a Jig.

I've tried that numerous times. However, it's not working.
Edit: Thanks for mentioning about "jig". I'm guessing this is my last hope.
Possible remedy
I had a similar problem when working with my friends phone yesterday. I used the boot to download function in the AIO Toolbox app and it worked perfectly.
Good luck.
same thing happend to me kinda. just hold the up volume button only and plug the usb in. thats what i have to do now

[Q] tmobile root question

Hello all. Have a question. Never rooted a phone before and figure it's about time. When holding volume up + home center button + power then letting go of power button upon reboot I do not get the warning screen where you are supposed to hit volume up button. Instead I get into manual mode. Does anyone know if I am doing anything wrong or if you had the same problem? Much help needed and thank you so much in advance!
it's supposed to be vol DOWN, home and power. not "up".
you use "up" AFTER it's rooted, you'll be using "up" most of the time, if not all of the time after it's rooted.
but to actually START the root process. to root the phone, you need to hit "down" to get into "download mode"
Haha! Thanks a bunch man I feel a bit "slow" after that one. I have since rooted :laugh:

Atrix boot loop

I got an Atrix from a friend who was having problems with it.
I tried turning it on and it stays tuck in a boot loop with the "Dual Core Technology" screen.
I tried a couple of key combinations to see if I could get to fastboot but nothing works. So far I've tried the following combinations:
1. holding the volume up button while powering on
2. holding the volume down button while powering on
3. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then pressing the power button
4. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then letting go of volume down and pressing the power button
5. holding power and volume up button while putting the battery in
I also tried this. After holding down the volume up button and pressing the power button, i tried hitting the volume down button once and then hitting volume up, hitting it twice and then volume up, 3 times and volume up, etc. etc. and then plugging in the phone to the computer, just in case the fastboot menu was there but I couldn't see it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
As it stands right now, all I'm getting is the boot loop. The phone had been sitting around for a while so I'm not really sure what the history is so all I have to go off of is what I have in front of me.
I'd appreciate any help in the matter.
Can you tell more history of the phone?
Is it rooted?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Which ROM is it running if it's running one?

I'm pretty sure its not rooted and almost certain its the stock rom but I have no idea about the bootloader. My friend is not very tech-savy so I'm guessing that the bootloader is locked.
I have no way to verify any of this. All I have at this point is the phone that sits looping at the "dual core technology" screen.
If you have any ideas about which way to proceed from here, I'd greatly appreciate it!
What exactly is happening (down to the last detail) when you boot while holding Vol(-)?

When I have the volume down button pressed while booting, the green led stays on for 4-5 seconds, then the phone boots to the dual core screen, it'll stay there for about 5-7 seconds, then go to the M logo with the ripples and then the screen goes black for a second and then it loops back to the dual core screen. Only, this time, there is no delay between the 'dual core technology' screen and the M logo with the ripples.
Try this:
1) Remove battery
2) Replace battery while holding volume down button
3) Navigate to recovery
Should get you out of the loop.

Maybe the easiest way to get make it work again would be to flash the original stock rom with RSDLite.
It's very easy, you just need to connect your phone via fastboot ( when powering on hold vol(-) key until it says fastboot), then press vol(+) and the computer will detect it.
Just remember to flash the correcto sbf for your phone, otherwise you will have another bootloop.

Where do I get the stock rom?
How about you do some searching on your own for a change?
This time search for fruitcakes. That's the stock ROM.

Official way to reboot into recovery?

I'm just wondering what the OFFICIAL WAY to boot into recovery is when the device is turned off...I've googled this question 15 times and ALWAYS come back with different answers....some say
1) Power + Home + Volume up
2) Volume Up + Power Button
3) Home + Power + Volume Up and when Samsung Logo appears let go of home but continue holding Volume up + power
4)Volume Up + Power but when you feel the phone vibrate let go of Power button and continue to hold volume up
5) Power down phone...turn it on holding power button and when you see Samsung Logo hold Volume Up
Even looking through threads on here gives a hundred different answers....Which way is the official way?
Thanks for the feedback/input

Well in my way just hold down the Volume up + Home + Power, then wait till the Samsung Logo and let go all of the buttons.
No need to press the home button on the GS4. Volume up+power until you see Samsung logo

Thanks for that but I really was just wondering the way to do it when phone is powered off there's so many conflicting ways even the first two people who answered said two different things and every article i read is different
I do Vol UP + Home + Power until i see the Samsung screen. Point is whatever works for you is what you should do... simple. Tomato-Tomaado

Almost every way mentioned will work, there's no official way.
To me the easiest is (with power off) hold Volume up, press the power button and, when I feel the vibration, release the power button.
Whatever you prefer is YOUR "official way."

boot straight to twrp from power off

Was stuck in a boot loop for about 20min figured out this is how to boot to twrp. Done it again from power off just to make sure it wasn't a fluke for me at least.

Then wait acouple sec and push volume down button and then the power button hold both till phone boots keep holding threw first lg symbol till it boots a second time then release both buttons and press power button.

I thought this was common knowledge already. The info. has been out for quite a while now.
When your phone is bootlooping, all you have to do is hold the power button down until your phone powers off, then:
How to boot into recovery mode
Volume down & Power, when the LG logo appears release and press them again, then press the Power button three times!

How about I just close it then move it to the general section.
It may help others with their search.
