1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic

Try my how-to...
Also, try pulling the battery, and then holding the Vol up+Vol dn keys, plug the usb cable in, then plug the battery back in..., make sure the usb cable is plugged into your computer...
Or.., if your phone is partially booting, then:
Code:
adb reboot download

i think i have a hardware locked phone, i just got it today.
But i can get into recovery mode via hardware, so maybe i dont have hardware locked? and it IS possible to get to download mode on my phone via the buttons right?

1. Turn off device
2. Remove battery
3. Hold Vol up and Vol down (works best upside down)
4. Insert battery into device
5. Plug USB cable into device (also plugged into your computer)
Voila, Should enter download mode. Good luck!

If you follow the steps your phone will enter download mode, In order for your PC to recognize what kind of device is plugged into it you need the samsung drivers. Which are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929

yes, so is that fixable?
Yeah definitely fixable, You just need to install the Samsung drivers onto your PC. Use Odin to flash a stock ROM onto your device and things should be better for you. I would suggest doing some research here on XDAand getting familiar with flashing a phone. Ive recovered from where you are now(a long time ago) this phone is very resilient. I have a thread over in the Q&A section with links to a video tutorial that I made for flashing a phone from stock, rooting, then all the way up to nero. Do a search on it, Good luck!
i just need to get into need to get into download mode and get odin to recongnize my phone and i should be good, it's such a pain! ;(. But THANKS for your help! I wish theres just ONE way to get into download mode.
Well, my phone cant enter in this modes, but the problem its that also cant enter to the system, i can only see the logo of samsung and then the screen turn off, I dont know what to do, because I cant use the odin because I cant enter in download mode, I dont know if there is a button to hard reset the phone. I was trying to put a rom of ics but i believe that the firmware was wrong for my phone. please help me.
Sounds like you flashed something in Odin that was not for your phone. You probably need to get it J-tagged to get it fixed. Check out mobiletechvideos.com
It's like $50 dollars for the service, they'll J-tag your phone and flash the correct bootloader.

Since the phone will turn on, and initiate the boot process, it should be able to recover it yourself. Jtag is for true hard bricks, which your phone is NOT.
Please give a full description of what led up to your problem. What firmware was on the phone before, what did you attempt to flash, and anything that you can think of that would provide any additional information for trouble shooting. Also, a link to the firmware you tried to flash.

Nobody knows what can I do in that moment?
I put my i777 on download mode by removing the battery and putting it back. Hold the volume button down and connect the USB charger wait for the buttons to flash and disconnect the charger while holding the volume down button. If that doesn't work nothing will.

Try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out.
Hold down volume button and plug in the USB cable. (PC will supply the power)
This should boot the phone into download mode.
If the above works to get into download mode, do the following:
Download the I777 secondary bootloader .tar from the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.
Unplug the phone (to shut off)
Open Odin v1.85 on screen of pc.
Enter download mode as above.
When connected put the secondary bootloader in the PDA slot in Odin and flash.

I just recently got my SGS2 (i777) and decided to root it. Unfortunately I got the root from another site (dumb move) and today the phone went into a reboot loop. I can connect it and get it into download mode, but everytime I try to flash back to the stock rom, or anything else (bootloader) Odin says connection failed, unable to open COM Port. I know it connects because it installs the drivers for the phone. Can someone MUCH smarter that me assist with this one?

can you interrupt the bootloop by trying to get to recovery (holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER until recovery menu appears) and then go to backup-restore and restore a backup? That's what I would try. IF that does not work, I would reinstall the drivers for andoid on your pc --even though you had them working (presumably) once before. After reinstalling the drivers then odin should (may!) see the phone and work.
good luck
Hi there, I was on MIUI, decided to flash a new rom.

Hello all,
I am experiencing a boot error telling me to using the Verizon Software Repair Assistant and that it is experiencing an "Authentication Fail #9 [Modified].
Can someone link to the repair tool? I cannot get the assistant now that the phone refuses to boot. Or if someone has a different solution they are welcome to offer it.
Much thanks.
Curious as to what what system you are using, windows 7,8,or 10?

Windows 7. I should add that it may be due to something external from the root. After rooting I installed a few things, rebooted, then a few more things were installed, and rebooted and then this came up. It may be after installing and setting up Chainfire's Liveboot app.
I am in the same boat. Stuck on "Start Up Failed". Computer will not recognize the phone. I dont know what to do. My Verizon Repair Assistant is from my Galaxy S6 Edge & doesnt recognize my LG V10. Any suggestions or assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Power off your phone. Then hold down the Volume up button and plug your phone into the PC and the phone will boot into Download Mode. You can't do it from recovery.

Hi Guys,
I tried flashing twrp with ROM control but it went totally wrong..
I had cwmod and CardHDrom installed, but wanted to install the newer version of it.
Phone is in a bootloop with Recovery is not seandroid reforcing, so I can't get into recovery mode.
I also tried to boot it in safe mode but it keeps restarting and immediately with the notification recovery is not seandroid reforcing.
I tried to go in download mode and yes I installed the most recent drivers, but my pc won't recognize my phone..
My question: Since we don't have an external SD card, is it possible to use a usb stick ( with mini usb connector) and flash the rom + recovery on the usb, so i'll be able to boot my phone up with the USB stick (trough an OTG cable) and save my data ?
model: Samsung galaxy s6 edge 925f
Thanks in advance!

I have seen this happen a few times on here. And tbh im not sure how to fix it. If odin wont recognise it and you cant get in recovery theres not much you can do. Normally when this hapoens the phone is still picked up in odin. So when you plug it to odin in download mode odin is just blank and nothing happens at all? Dont say added or anything? Because it just needs recovery flashing. Have you tried adb?

I very much doubt it. You can try but honestly i dont think it will work. You would still need custom recovery to unstall the rom from sd card
Make sure you try other USB ports, as well as other cords. This happened on a note 5 I was working on. I was using the cord that came with the phone and Odin wouldn't recognize the phone. I tried a few different cords and found one that Odin liked.
It's worth a shot
