So I think I somehow managed to brick my DNA. It won't turn on, it won't boot to the boot loader, and I've tried holding down the power button, each volume buttons, both volume buttons, etc. When I connect it to a PC, sometimes it will show the charging icon, other times it won't show anything. It also isn't actually recognized by the PC when I plug it in. I cleared the cache after an update, and this happened about a week afterwards. I've never rooted, flashed a ROM, etc. Can anyone help me get this thing going again? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. First time poster here. I'm having problems with my Samsung Apollo (i5801). I was at first going to root my phone, but before even getting to there, I was trying to access recovery mode so that I could fix a USB error (USB would not be detected when plugging into PC, only charged). I don't know what ended up happening, but now I am stuck in a rut.
Trying to hold Volume Up + Down, Home, and Powering on leads to the exclamation mark triangle android screen. Pushing the home button after that just leads to a reboot.
Holding Volume Down + Home and powering on leads to a blue "DOWNLOADING DO NOT TURN OFF" screen which I get stuck on.
Holding Volume Up + Home leads to a "Forced upload by key pressing" screen.
My phone still cannot access any boot menu and still cannot connect by USB to my PC.
I have not rooted anything and the firmware was on 2.1 Eclair before this whole thing happened.
Any ideas or suggestions would be grateful. Thank you!
Well seems like you can access Download mode just fine, so how about flashing it?
2 things here
you cant actualy access a boot menu on a stock apollo, you need to flash a firmware to it first
and the reason your pc cant connect to the handset is you most likely dont have the samsung drivers installed

this thread should help plenty same handset, just called something else
hope this helps
Just curious. is it possible? Recently my volume down key suddenly stops working for no known reason. And because my phone's recovery mode is triggered by volume down+power, i cant possibly enter recovery mode because of that problem.
Volume up+power is ok, but that's factory mode. This is a pain for me because if i cant go to recovery, if i got my phone bootloop in the future, i cant fix my phone. And i found one more problem, my pc wont detect my phone too. So basically if i got my phone bootlooped there's no solution to fix it. It only charges but adb and usb connected wont show in my status bar even the drivers is installed in my pc. Seems that two problem is linked.
So is it really possible? I want to make the key combination for my phone's recovery be power button+vol up not power but.+vol down.
And i dont find factory mode useful so i will dispose it.

Today I was going to reboot my htc one m8. But something bad happened.Help! stuck with formatting/cache... when trying to reboot. And I have been stuck with this for like an hour...
Then it restarts and the text disappear. Only a picture of small phone with green circle is on my phone. I can press volume+ and power to turn it off or volume- and power to restart it, but the small phone comes back every time. I don't know what to do...
please help me out....T_T
Is the phone stock, or any mods (bootloader unlock, root, etc.)?
Green circle is stock recovery. You can press vol up+vol down and power to get recovery menu options, but not sure anything there will help you.
You can likely RUU to get back up and running. But personal data will be wiped.
Hi. I am desperate. Two weeks ago I had to remove the power button of my S3 because the phone kept rebooting.
Now, I installed a ROM that ended into bootloops, so I need to enter into recovery mode. With the power button, this would be easy, however since I don't have it, I don't know what to do. I installed Boeffla kernel and Validus ROM when I got the boot loop.
To turn the phone on, what I did was to remove the battery, put it again, and then plug the phone for one second and unplug it. I tried pressing down volume + home while doing that, and it doesn't change anything. The pone will simply try to boot the ROM.
Is there any way to enter into recovery mode without a power button? Otherwise, I will have to throw my precious S3 to the trash, and I definitely not want that! Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Install adb on your computer and type
adb reboot recovery
or
use a needle to press the power button along with volume up and home button, yes it is possible I have tried it
or
fix the power button, it cost me 2 Canadian dollars so it's probably the best option (yes on a Samsung store)

So thanks to Netflix and its implementation of security net I wanted to install Magisk on my Z2.
Im running the stock 6.0 Rom which was just rooted with supersu.
My tab was charged 80+%
I uninstalled SuperSU, went to TWRP and flashed Magisk.
After flashing the screen stayed black. Nothing at all.
Long press power gives me one vibration after 3 seconds but nothing else.
Long press power & vol - gives me the same vibration
Long press power & vol + gives me nothing
Connecting the tab to the computer gives me nothing. No device recognised (no adb, no fastboot)
Connecting the tab to a charger has the LED blinking red.
Long pressing power makes the led turn solid (no blinking)
Power & vol - the same
Power & vol + nothing
Basically I seemed to somehow have turned my tab into a brick oO
I can't even get it to boot to twrp or fastboot
Atm I'm letting it charge just to see if that was an issue (I doubt it)
Otherwise the only thing I can think of is opening it and disconnecting the battery...maybe that will help?
Ok nevermind. I managed to get into flashmode and reflash. tab is now working again!
How did you get it to be recognized and reflash? I flashed mine after rooting and I get similar behavior to what you were getting. It will vibrate once if I press the power button, I can get it to turn the light blue if I hold the up volume and the power button while plugged in. The screen will not turn on at the Emma tool doesn't seem to recognize it.
Same Problem here.
@pseudoheld could you please provide some more info?
