Hi everyone ,
I'm trying to help a friend out who has brought me a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 T585 model.
At present it has mobicontrol on and is in a kiosk mode. I cannot get in the regular android operating system as it is just going straight into a sales kiosk mode via mobicontrol. It's really annoying as you cannot access anything unless someone knows a clever bypass?
All the information for this tablet to get into download mode says
Power Button + Volume Down + Home Button
However, it does not do anything other than keep rebooting if held long enough.
I found Power Button + Volume Up + Home Button takes me into a blue screen that says "Installing Update"
Then fails and goes to the android restore screen. I've tried wiping cache, partition and all the options in there but it wont mount anything it seems either and fails to make a difference with anything i've done. I've tried Odin from inside Windows but that fails (as i'm not in the correct download mode) i think.
It still boots up to mobicontrol kiosk environment and is unusable other than inside that demo mode.
I've tried it in safemode but never seems to get in and takes forever, so unless i've been too impatient, it's been locked out from loading in safemode it seems??
It's on Android v7 and is the Samsung Galaxy Tab a6 T585 10.1 LTE version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Galaxy S4 stuck going into Odin mode "Downloading Do not turn off target"
Hey Everyone, I hope someone can help me out on this issue I have been having. I searched the forum and could not seem to find a solution to my specific problem. So here it is.... I have a Rooted S4, and I downloaded both ROM manager and TWRP, they both do the same thing. It seems as though how ever I try to get my phone to start in Recovery mode it always ends up going into the Odin download mode. I have tried every combo I can think of i.e. power button + vol down + home, pwr + vol. up + home, pwr + both vol. up & down + home, etc.... and NOTHING seems to want to boot my phone into recovery, it always goes to the "Downloading" "Odin Mode" screen. Any thoughts on how I can get it to boot to recovery? Oh I also tried booting to recovery via the buttons within TWRP and ROM manager and still didn't work
Thanks for the help!!!
I think I have figured out my issue (Sorry I am kind of new to this stuff). The version I am currently on is VRUAME7, and it looks like the latest "Root/ Recovery" out there is only the Root portion and not the recovery, thus why I can not get into recovery.... does this sound correct?

You are correct - ME7 will prohibit flashing any custom recoveries (so far......)
Hi everyone.
My case is similar to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/i9300-wont-boot-recovery-mode-isnt-t2993235
- Only that me cellphone has never been rooted or flashed.
It happened two days ago, I sent a message through WhastApp, close it, open up the radio, I plugged the headphones, and in that precise moment there was an "updating" notification message, then everything went black and it reboot, getting stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S3 - GT-I9300" screen.
I have tried:
- Stuck Power button solution -> Not worked.
- Disassembler the cellphone to clean the Power button -> Not worked.
- Trying to get to Recovery mode (Volume Up + Home + Power buttons pressed)-> Not possible to get into that stage.
- The cellphone is not recognize by Window 7 SP1 with latest USB drivers for Samsung phones as USB Flash storage device.
I would like to have my photos/images back because they hold a great emotional value. In simply words, I need to save the my user data from the phone.
So, I have some questions:
- Can I get/save my data back by flashing the cellphone?
- I read I can flash a recovery partition through or with Odin, would this erase the data I want to backup?
Well, anyone who want to give me advice and some guide here, let me thank you before hand and I'm ready to listen I try whatever comes your mind, just point me out what do I have to read or do.
:highfive:
I'm relatively new to the whole rooting thing, so I figured I'd try to root my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime since it was a spare anyways. I did it with KingoRoot, and it was a success. The only benefit I needed at the time was I wanted to delete one of the bloat ware apps which I made sure none of the apps I or the system relied on. I came to my senses and realized that I shouldn't put a $100 emergency device in danger with no experience so I selected the "Remove root" option in KingoRoot's stock Superuser app and my device restarted and became stuck in (what I think is) a bootloop at the service provider screen and vibrating a few times in quick succession every few seconds. I followed an online tutorial that showed me how to perform a factory reset, and erase other certain parts of the memory and nothing helped. Any tips? Thanks in advance to anybody that responds.
Details:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Core Prime
Service Provider: Can't remember right now, let me know if this is important
Extra details: I think I've erased everything on my phone, including my dalvik cache, cache, internal memory, internal SD card, etc.
Can you follow these instructions to try to get into download mode?
Start with turning off the Samsung Galaxy Core. There are two ways to get that done: press the Power button once and then select the ‘Switch Off’ option from the menu.
If your device’s screen is unresponsive, you can always long-press the Power button and get your device to switch off.
Now that your Galaxy Core is off, reboot it by holding the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons at the same time.
Wait until you can see some new writing on the Galaxy’s display with a warning symbol down below.
Now release those keys and just press the Volume Up button.
The Galaxy Core will now enter the download mode and get past that warning screen.
If you can get into download mode, your in luck!
Hii Friends,
Im using samsung mega 6.3. (GT-I9200)
im trying to update my mobile via odin. but when i try to enter download mode its not entering .
Please help me
(Volume down + home button+power button )
Dag_Nab.It
S/G MEGA 6.3 (AT&T-US) SGH-i527~GT-i9205
I have the same issue with my device not entering Download Mode. My device will ONLY go to main screen asking for password, which I no longer remember.
please help us
Still_Kicking...
VolumeUP+Home+Power, still getting 'no response' while holding all three down and releasing at start up.
*i forgot to mention that after StartUp, on the Enter Password request page, only the Power button operates. the VolumeUp, VolumeDown, and Home buttons do nothing. I have to press Power button after the screen has blacked out to bring-up the Enter Password request page again.
Today, I installed an old SIM card (SIM not provisioned MM#2) is displayed. I'll have to research this for the meaning as this is a first for me.
This time I held VolumeDown+Home buttons throughout the StartUp process. This time, on the Enter Password request page, in the lower left corner, Safe mode is stated. Anyone have some tips on what we can do while the device is in this mode as I have yet to read anything on Safe mode for any of the devices listed so far?
TO ENTER Safe mode:
Hold Power button until device starts up, release. Now hold down VolumeDown+Home buttons until Enter Password request page shows. The device should now state that its in Safe mode in the lower left corner. Please take note that this is on the S/G MEGA 6.3 (AT&T-US) SGH-i527~GT-i9205.
Galaxy Mega 6.3/ Black screen after ROM Flash
A friend of mine gave me his Galaxy Mega 6.3 as when he previously did something with the phones software, he messed something up and lost imei numbers, wifi and bluetooth wouldn't work however the phone would still turn on. Just like an MP3 player.
I struggle around a day to get this phone into download mode in order to flash its factory rom and i finally got the phone to download mode, i flashed the correct I9205 stock rom on and now the phone wont turn on.
No buttons light up including the blue LED at the top. The screen turns on and back off after a few seconds. No logo appears, but the phone does respond to the power button. Its like a bootloop but it loops before it gets to any sort of logo screen. I cant seem to launch to any sort of safe mode, recovery mode or download mode and the phone is not detected on my computer.
Any ideas on how to get this backup and running.

Did you check the PDA, CSC, and of course the md5 to make sure you had the right Firmware(ROM)? Where did you download it from?
How did you get the device into download mode?

I managed to get the device to download mode via the normal method of pressing volume home and power however it doesnt always work and it just restarts continuesly. I got the rom from sammobiles or something like that and i believe its the correct one. I have tried several other roms that is for mega 6.3 but no hope. However i did manage to get twrp installed. Do you by any chance know any os that you can link for me that i can install directly and only by using twrp installation?

There is LineageOS ROM with RR Remix. I have heard that you have to use Kies before you can use Odin3. Sorry for the late reply.

Hi
yesterday my tab s6 screen got unresponsible without anything else happened..
Then i found out that if i used the pen - the n i could turn it off from drop down menu.
I did that but then when i tried to turn it on it got stuck on that bootloop!
I can not access recovery mode - only download mode.
When i put it on charge it starts booting without showing battery percent and boots over and over until battery is drained.
In download mode i tried to flash Bootloader and firmware - but no luck ( odin proceduce succeded but the tab is still in the same bootloop )..
Still can't reach recovery menu..
Any ideas?
Recovery Mode is tricky to get to on this tablet - The timings of the button presses are difficult to nail. Assuming you weren't trying to flash anything to your tablet prior to it boot looping, I don't see any reason why you couldn't access Recovery Mode.
Reboot Tab by pressing and holding both Power (Bixby) button and volume down. Once screen turns off immediately press Power and Volume Up, let go once you see Samsung logo.

Have you done anything to your tablet prior to bootloop? Tried to flash anything, deleted anything?
Again, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to access Recovery this situation is exactly why it's there.

I opened NBA 2K Mobile and then i went away for like 20mins..
Then i opened the tab and screen was not reacting - only with pen.
I think the USB debugging is not enabled - is there any ways how to enable it without rooting?
Just tried to install a firmware through download mode - Odin shows "passed" and my tab is still in the same sh** ..:/
Hi,
Really need your help, after I updated my firmware using Odin, updated BL, AP, CP, CSC, my tab cannot boot up stuck in logo. Doing the Power + volume up leads me to different screen now.
Cannot access recovery mode also.
What must I do? Pleasssee help. Added the pic, after doing hard reset (power + vol up)
I cannot connect back to Odin also. Always setup connection failed.
Please help. Messed up big time :'(
Thank you in advance.

UAE..
"setup connection failed" is a USB error. Try a different cable, or a different port on the computer, or a totally different computer
