Download mode? Can you explain further please

Hold Volume down+ Hime button+ Power button at the same time and you'll enter the download mode. Before doing that, download the latest firmware for your model from www.sammobile.com/firmwares and follow their instructions.

@WoppWopp: If Odin doesn't connect, deinstall the drivers, reboot PC and install the newest ones.

Problem fixed. Thanks for help!

You could try re-naming the FW file to update.zip and copy it to your sd card. I don't know if it will work but it appears that it may.
Thanks for the reply, which FW you mean?

Sorry, it's not the VSAM, it's the VSEI. It will take your device back to stock, if it works. Download the file and then rename it to update.zip. Copy it to your sd card and boot into recovery. It's worth a try. Please let me know if it works.
Hello again,
I am trying to turn it on but it is not turning on. I tried to connect computer volume and power button, reset nothing seems to work. How I can enter recovery mode?

I assume it's fully charged or connected to an A/C adapter. Then hold power and volume until it boots. As soon as you see the bird logo, let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume button until it boots into recovery. Then, select "update from SD card." It will only recognize update.zip file because we don't have clockworkmod recovery for 7e.

I don't have any other ideas. We really need a custom ROM with CWM but I don't know any Devs working on it. If your tablet is less than 30 days old, you can return it for a full refund or replacement.
I understand thanks fro your help anyway will let you know about the situation.

[Q] My Sgh i777 can't enter in download mode eighter in recovery 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.

To get the SGH-I777 into download mode, continuously hold down both volume buttons (but not the power button) while plugging in the usb cable.

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.

help please
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

I tried yesterday, without success. I stayed 2min but it's still not working.
Try to press "volume down" + "volume up" + power button in this order and hold for 30 seconds. This will reset your phone, so of you have some data it will be deleted!

If you use window 10 might be adb drivers are not installed properly and phone can't be reflashed via Flashtool. There is a special procedure for windows 10 for installing of drivers. Check if your drivers are properly installed if you use windows 10 of course. Over internet you can find how to install new drivers on windows 10 if used .
This is only shot on the dark .

Need help recovering data from a bricked G925F

Hello, i'm trying to help a friend recover his data from a galaxy s6 edge he bricked. He bricked it while using a software that was suposed to recover a deleted file
Now the phone cannot be shut down, it`s in recovery mode and can be reset with power and volume up down key , and get into download mode.
Good news is that he said he had activated debugging mode but he does not know what version of android he had(i'm thinking 5 or 6 )
Ok so the main goal is to get the data out , doesn;t matter if the phone is dead after that.
I did some research but i'm unsure how to proceed: as this is a phone without a sd card , the data needs to come out of the usb port. How can i do that? using a custom recovery?
Can i install a custom recovery if the phone is not rooted and bricked?
Is there any other method to get the data out?
Thank you

First of all... The phone is not bricked. Have you tried to reboot from recovery mode? In recovery click wipe cache then reboot. Any luck?
Does the pc recognise the phone in file explorer?
What exactly is the phone doing now? Stuck in recovery?
You can flash TWRP then using TWRP make a backup of data. It's hard to tell at this point if any data is already gone.
One thing to ask before you do anything.... did your friend have sync turned on in google/Samsung account and/or Google photos?
He didn't have sync turned on.
He'll come by later woth the phone and i'll see exactly how the phone is behaving

It shouldn't make a difference that the phone is not rooted. When TWRP first booted did you select keep system r/o or did you swipe for modification?
I honestly don't remember it asking anything but i would have chosen to keep

Try flash TWRP again and this time swipe to allow modification. Then try mount.
something came up and i have to leave it for the weekend.
