sometimes when I power up, it goes right into download mode.
How can I stop this?

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

I've tried everything to get my unrooted WiFi Tab to boot into recovery mode. I hold down power and vol down, see "Samsung Galaxy Tab" and then...I'm expecting to see the Odin/recovery menu. Instead, the screen goes black and shows the "Samsung Galaxy Tab" logo again. And again. As long as I hold down he power/volume buttons, it does this. When I stop holding them down, it boots normally. How do I get to the recovery menu so I can finally root this thing?
Keep holding the vol button after you let off the power.
Thanks, I feel like an idiot once I figured it out. I didn't realize I had to let go of the power button once I saw the logo.
I am having the same issue. I am using a Verizon LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It is the 16GB gray model. The baseband version says i905.03 V.EL01 or SCH-I905.EL01 and it's running Android 3.2. Not sure what else you need. Here's what I've tried.
Scenario 1:
1. Powered the tablet off.
2. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
What happens: Nothing. It just sits at a black screen and I never see the Samsung logo. I have to let go of the volume down button, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, let go of the power button. Then the tablet boots normally.
Scenario 2:
1. Tablet on and sitting at my home screen.
2. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
3. Once the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo shows up, I let go of the power button and only hold the volume down button.
What happens: The tablet boots like normal or it boots into Safe Mode.
So what am I doing wrong? I don't understand why I can't get into download(Odin) mode.
have the same issue, but i can go into recovery.
i need to ODIN to have the new CMW installed. tried a lot of things (adb reboot download.. normal 2 buttons boot.. ) and i always end up with a charging battery screen or get black screen and the tablet refuse to start again for few seconds.
anything else I can try?
thanks

never mind, looks like i was releasing the volume down too quick :/
I installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 on my Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge. I booted into recovery mode, and I'm on the normal TWRP screen with the 8 options. But it doesn't let me open any of them. After a few seconds, the lock shows up, and after a few seconds more the screen turns off. I can turn it back on with the power button but I can't use the TWRP's swipe to unlock. Holding the power button does nothing. Holding volume down, power, and home (download mode) will make the loadup screen start to show up, but then it'll stop there for a really long time, before eventually going back to TWRP recovery and repeating all over again. If I keep holding the combination, it'll just loop the loadup screen over and over again. What do I do?
EDIT: I actually can get into download mode if that helps at all, my home button is just really messed up and does not always click well.
I user a samsung galaxy note 8 (N950U). Of late i have noticed my phone goes into a particular mode where the screen is off, no button works, calls will not come true like some sort of standby mode. I feel screen vibrate when i press the center of the lower screen. The only way i can get my phone back on is to press the power button for it to come on. One weird thing is how i have to reset date and time after it has come on.
Kindly advice what i can do about this.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ No custom, Just a normal phone from T carrier.
The situation is as follow. I wake up everyday and cannot turn on my phone, the screen is black but I hear it beeping when i press the volume keys. I do a Vol down Power to restart thinking it will , it restarts but the screen is black and unresponsive no matter what I do, the Power button is still functional at this moment.
What I quickly did is I connected the phone to my monitor using USB-C and i have a mouse connected to the internal KVM of the monitor- , perfect got excited that the phone at least works, on the monitor it shows up perfectly, I can control the phone with the mouse, enter my 4 digit password, works. That was the situation yesterday. Should have backed up then but didnt.
Today I wake up, the Power button does not work, so I read and find out that I can go downlead mode which I did using the Vol down and Bixby and plugging the charger.
tried the Vol Down and Power to restart it does not, so again I go in to the download mode and accidently press Volume up, Now I am completely stuck on Downloading... Do not turn off target
1. Power button does not work- I have no idea how to get the past Downloading screen now
2. Would I be able to recover anything it its really dead?
3. Any tips?
