Hello again,
Because nobody have this problem too i wrote yesterday (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077133) i decided to flash my phone.
First of all i wanted to root it with chainfires autoroot.
My problem now is simple explained:
I turn off the phone and press volume down+home+power button.
Then there is a warning which says i should press volume up for entering download mode or volume down for restart.
If i press the volume up button nothing happens. The same with volume down. Nothing.
What can i do in this case?
Post once don't break the rules .
Are you sure you get no response when using vol up button .
Kies firmware recovery ???
Worth trying a factory reset .
That fails you can try a USB recovery jig .
Simple answer would be a Samsung Service centre as it looks like the KIES update has gone wrong .

Thanks for your response!
Sorry for the new Thread, but i thought this problem has nothing to to with the other so i decided to make the new thread.
- Yes there is no respone after i am asked to press vol up or down.
- I can enter recovery mode, but not download mode
- Tried a factory reset 3 times.
- Kies firmware recovery don't shows my phone in the list to recover. Kies says all is working correct.
I think i will use my phone now without my home button and wait for next firmware update which hopefully helps
I recently sold my og note to a friend. it was rooted running black star. He has asked me to try and fix it for him because it will not boot up. when he gave it to me it was stuck at the download mode warning screen ("volume up : Continue ; volume down : Cancel (restart phone)") . I was able to get it into recovery . I tried to flash a few different roms i had on the phone when i gave it to him. I was able to flash a rom and get a successful message but then it would not start it would just go back to the warning screen. I then tried to use odin to flash stock rom but it wont go past the warning screen. pressing up or down doesnt do anything. the only thing it will do from there is boot into recovery mode. Does it sound like its bricked or should i try something else? anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
matt
Sounds like the volume down button is stuck. When you reboot if you hold volume down with power it takes you to that screen. Pull the battery and see if you can free the button.
Agreed ....the device is not bricked ....g
Or friend deleted OS files and it can't boot. Worst case is you connect to a pc and Odin or Kies flash a new system.

I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GTS-5830i). Last week, while checking my emails, it got hanged. I tried a lot but no button was working (responding). So, I restarted it by removing-fix again the battery. But when I restarted it, it gave multiple error windows regarding all the backend processes being interrupted unexpectedly. I took it to Samsung Service Center, but technician there denied doing anything, since the phone was brought from abroad and it was Made in Vietnam piece. He told me to send the phone to the country from where it was bought. I took it to one friend technician, but even he told me the same.
Then I thought of format the phone myself with idea that it might make things like before, but even that option was not working. So I tried it to format by pressing Volume Up/Down+Power+Home Buttons together. The phone started with a window just like DOS Prompt in computers. It had 4 options:
Reboot system now
Apply update from sd card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I selected 3rd one i.e. wipe data/factory reset.
It took me to another window saying, “Confirm wipe of all user data? This can’t be undone. I selected:
Yes –delete all user data
Then I rebooted it.
Now it is just starting again and again with the phone name and model number (as it comes when we start a phone). It is switching on-off by itself and it is going on.
I tried to connect the phone to laptop through Kies, but was able to connect only once after numerous attempts, and that showed that there is no firmware in the phone!
I googled the problem and got a probable solution by putting back the firmware using Odin software and the firmware file. I downloaded these from net. But the instructions to use Odin software are:
Open phone Settings>Applications> Development and enable USB Debugging.
Installing Stock Gingerbread Firmware Turn off you phone and boot it into Download mode: hold down the Volume Down + Volume Up buttons, then long press the Power key till the your phone’s screen turns up and you see the Download mode screen.
Since, I can’t even switch on phone and access anything on it; I can’t follow these instructions and use this software because it is switching on-off again and again by itself.
Please help.
Go HERE Nothing to worry about USB debuging Just Follow that Thread
Are you able to going in DOWNLOAD mode by pressing power + Vol Up + Vol down.

So today I finally got notification for Oreo update on my Galaxy A8 2018 version.
I updated it via Smart Switch with original USB cable from Samsung, but after update was done, my phone was stuck at reboot mode.
It just keeps rebooting all the time, and even after 1 hour of reboots, it doesn't do anything usefully.
I went to recovery mode, where it still says it's android 7.1.1 firmware … I tried to wipe cache partition and that didn't help at all.
Next step was apply update from SD card but that just returns me errors: E:footer is wrong, E:Signature verification failed and E:failed to to find misc partition.
I tried to wipe all data/factory reset, but that didn't help either.
I can't start it download mode to use Odin, and smartswitch doesn't see my phone either.
I have no idea what else to do
Hi , let your battery to be completely empty , put in charger for about 2 hours don't power On!
After that take out the charger hold at the same time Vol - , home and Power taster , but to skip reboots , try when you hold those 3 buttons to press fast couple of times Vol - while you are holding other two buttons . If you are able to go into Download mode reflash the same firmware version Android 7.1.1 .
It turns out, that I was able to get in download mode, but I had to press volume up + volume down + power button all at the same time.
After that I was able to flash my device with stock 7.1.1 Android. After that was a success, I tried to update to Oreo again via Smart Switch … again same problem and phone would boot.
Then I downloaded Oreo firmware for my phone, and tried to flash it. It wasn't working at all. Program finished in 4 sec, and phone was stuck back at reboot.
After banging my head against the wall, I found some article on web, that this is a know issues for Odin 3.1.2 version, and that 3.1.3 version is working.
So I was finally able to flash my phone with Oreo Android, using Odin 3.1.3 version …. flashed my device at least 7 times before I got result that I wanted.
I still lost all my data, since I didn't have any backups enabled. This time I'm downloading all my apps, and do all customization, and then I'm making backup, so I won't be stuck with that problem once again.
Sometimes I regret going from iOS to Android, and next phone will probably be iPhone for me.
