is there any way enable usb debug from Stock Recovery ?

Hello,
I have Samsung A5 2017, my cell has virus attack and every minute it restart automatically, all things are stocks so not able to reflash,reset device
is there any way usb debugging enabled from recovery/download mode ?
Not adb, but hold volume down while the phone is starting. A watermark will appear, "Safe Mode", the "virus", if not a root exploit, will not load and you could uninstall it. Also remove it from the device administrators & accessibility settings. If it doesn't work, hold volume up. If it doesn't work, press and hold the menu/recents key when the "SAMSUNG" logo and the brightness changes.

If you know your Google account details and you don't mind losing all your data reset your device.
It's unlikely it has compromised the system partition unless you were rooted.
If you were rooted then you may as well just wipe data with twrp.
Failing that reinstall the stock firmware.
nothing worked, i think virus at boot level, because can able to enter stock recovery, after factory reset result is same, tried with safe mode, but not work, not able to connect internet and reset device because it turn only 50 Seconds and rebooted, if i tried with odin than got error - FRP Lock, i also tried google device reset from web but it required internet connection on phone , so this option also not worked

If you have installed the correct firmware with odin and factory reset and your device still has issues then your problem is not related to a virus. More likely a hardware issue.

May be, but when i tried to install Custom Recovery CWM, TWRP it gaves message - custom binary blocked by frp lock
If i tried same firmware - then stuck without any reason - log say - recovery.img cancelled
why i think this is virus because i enabled usb debug and after auto reboot again its shows disabled , even i change wallpaper and reboot its showing same old wallpaper, means anything i do after 50 seconds revert back as it is, one kind device is locked

You can't install anything custom until OEM UNLOCK is enabled in settings.
Install the stock firmware with odin then factory reset in stock recovery.
You will need to enter your Google account details once the device has fully booted to disable FRP.

Forget about USB debugging it's not going to help you right now. I would try enabling OEM UNLOCK and then immediately power down the device BEFORE it reboots.

LG G5 H830 T-Mobile Device Is Corrupt and Download Mode Issue

Ok so I had Lineage OS installed no problem. I was trying to go back to a stock rom and I suppose I did a bad thing. I was going to trade in my phone and figured I needed to lock the bootloader back. After putting in the command to do so I get the "your device is corrupt" error. I can get into download mode but it won't stay in it very long. I can get into fastboot mode but not sure what I can actually do there since ADB won't recognize it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Help on developer mode access

Hello,
I need to flash a twrp or any recovery through Odin. However my phone does not have his developer mode on. I am also unable to log into the phone now. My previous rom is faulty and I turned the developer mode off.
How else can I flash it without a developer mode?
Please help.
Regards,
Ian
Put the phone in download mode and try that way or use samsung switch on a computer to return to stock
To start with, read the rules of this forum and ask question in the right forum.

SOLVED-Problem enter Downloading mode Factory Binary in Samsung Galaxy J3[SM-S367VL]

I flash SAMSUNG GALAXY J3 ORBIT SM-S367VL with Combination File and able to load Factory Binary Mode. Now I revert back to it's original Firmware. In the Factory Binary mode I enable Developer mode(enable OEM unlocking, USB Debugging), Reset Factory Data, and change USB Settings to ACM+DM+UTS+ADB. Now I want to boot the device in downloading mode. But when I pressed Volume Down + Power + Home key the downloading key is not appearing. Instead it shows a screen like below. Can any body help me to resolve the issue. And is there any tutorial available to disable Network Carrier Lock for the device?

I have the exact same phone, I even have the exact same screen. I tried to 300K tools posted by speechless. It recognizes the phone says it's in download mode but nothing changes on the screen, still reads: power reset or unknown upload mode. It's recognized by Odin the com turns blue,but never moves past 'SetupConnection'. Im not sure if I missed something or its my luck of the draw. Ive triple check everything list you had done. No idea at this point. Ordered a jig. Last ditch effort.
you will have to use an adb fastboot folder and enter the "adb reboot download" command and you will be able to install the firmware by odin.

This was my first thought when I first gave it a go. I have no adb connection with computer (device not detected. Recovery sideloading isn't possible, no USB connection read by computer. Drivers are installed, Dev options all correct (oem unlock checked, USB debug checked. Nothing has been overlooked, just completely stumped. I noticed I have permission thru Bluetooth to possibly install apps, but all attempts have proven faulty. I know it's not the USB port itself, I do get Samsung Modem detected if I force it into Power Reset/Unknown upload mode . USB jig didn't work, phone seems to ignore it's presents. I'm absolutely dumbfounded on this one.
Bump!
I have the same exact phone and am facing the same exact issue.
A friend gave me the phone. They had factory reset it before giving it to me. I could not proceed with the setup because of google verification. Asked the friend about it but they do not know the credentials, so I'm guessing they got the phone from someone else. Who knows?
After doing some research, I found combination roms to get rid of the google verification.
I was able to get the phone into download mode and used odin to flash the factory binary rom.
I then used the phone to enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
That is as far as I have gotten and I've spent two days searching for answers.
I can no longer get the phone into download mode and I've tried every supposed solution under the sun. A myriad of button combinations, both with and without the USB cable plugged into the phone. I've tried taking the battery out and holding down the buttons just after replacing the battery. I've tried holding down the VOL buttons just before plugging in the USB cable. Nothing works.
This is where my issue is a bit different from the OP's problem. I can get into recovery mode and I have the option to apply update through ADB.
In the CMD prompt on my PC, I use the command adb devices and it shows the phone connected and sideloaded, however no commands work for the phone itself. I can't apply any sort of rom. I can't push or pull files. I can't reboot or reboot download. It just says error: closed.
The phone in the ADB update mode says E:Failed to set driver control. No such device.
Installation Aborted.#1
E:Failed to set driver control. No such device.
I have literally tried everything. I don't need the phone, mind you. I have a google pixel and another Samsung galaxy that I had before the google phone. I just really want that feeling I get when I breathe life back into an otherwise useless device
That being said, I know that the Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit (SM-S367VL) isn't a great phone but it could still serve a purpose if I could just get it to work.
If anyone can shed any light on the situation, I would be quite thankful.
with the mobile shown dial * # 0808 # and mark where it says adb and restart. then with the mobile on again open an adb fastboot folder and insert the command "adb reboot downloader" with the normal taught mobile (do not put power + button -). He will send them directly to downloader mode.
Do not try to put the phone in download mode with power button + volume button -. the command will send them with the mobile taught normal to downloader
With the j3 orbit sm-s367vl i flashed the factory binary then kept haveing the same issue about getting it to actually go into download mode best way i have found is by useing miracle box 2.27 an up to get it to go into download mode. Just have the phone powered on connect to computer open miracle box go to samsung tab scan ports select thr comport for your samsung an switch the auestion mark to where it says download mode an click go then it sends your j3 orbit into thr correct download mode you need to be able to flash the firmware
Hello,
Thanks for decently compiled guide to the OP. The steps are easy to follow and one can achieve this.
Tip: Incase you're stuck at the last step of trying to flash the CSC and your phone is booting into Factory Binary again, follow below steps -
1. Enter the Factory Binary Mode
2. Enable USB debugging on your device if needed.
3. Run adb on your computer (assuming you have it installed)
4. Connect your device to PC by USB cable
5. Verify device is recognized by adb devices
5. To boot into download mode for Samsung devices type in cmd window :
adb reboot download
6. Voila! Phone boots into download mode and you can install the firmware using Odin now.

Can you provide link to the S367VL Combination File please? Also, what exactly is the combination file? Is it a custom ROM? I have not been able to find any for this specific phone yet. Stock Tracfone/Samsung configuration is loaded with bloatware and I can't find accurate information on how to root it.

Thank-you so much!!! This worked for me on my J3 Orbit. I had thrown it in a drawer back in September thinking it was a lost cause after trying seemingly everything to put it into download mode. I dug it back out last night because my son needed a phone. Thank-you for the easy to follow instructions and your time.

Samsung download jig is what you need. It will force the phone into download mode. I had this same problem and it worked. They are only a few bucks to order online. But if you're like me and don't want to wait there are instructions online that tell you how to make one. Which was easy enough. I was able to do it without having any prior knowledge on that stuff. Hope this helps
So am I understanding correctly, that once the SM-S367VL Tracfone has ODIN on it, the stock ROM on the phone is then opened up and rooted and can be put on any compatible CDMA network like Verizon as long as you have a SIM card to use on Verizon for it?
Thanks so much for the information. Very much appreciate all the hard work done here.

Errrr Wait.....flashing SAMSUNG's Stock ROM for the phone (A Tracfone purchased at Walmart and never activated), VS the Tracfone ROM that is on it, is all that is necessary to do because then the phone is carrier unlocked as it is no longer running the Tracfone ROM but the Samsung Stock ROM......is this correct, please?
Thanks.
Lip Lip Lip
P.S. I know I sound Ultra NEWB here asking this, but I am totally unfamiliar with this particular phone.
I have hacked TONS of phones using TWRP.....Galaxy Nexus....and my new Moto G5s+ SE's and used Tiny's hack for the 2007 Droid INC Version 1 to get Android 4.4.4 on it (RUNS GREAT!) and Clockwork MOD initially and then TWRP 2.6.3.0 after a bit, so I know what's up, but am hoping someone can point me in the right direction so I don't brick the phone.
Need to know if I am flashing the combo package mentioned in this thread earlier (and where to get that) or if the goal is to just root the ROM via ODIN once it is in Downloader mode.
Or do you actually install ODIN to it as a recovery?
Never used ODIN either before.
Always been using ADB and flashing Clockwork mod or TWRP and then off to the races from there.
A LITTLE HELP PLEASE?!?!?!?!

need help finding the combination file for Samsung j3 orbit tracfone net10 - no OEM unlock- I want to unlock boatloader then flash
thanks
i think downloading mode you use the volume up button
Once the combination is flashed, to reboot into Download mode, hold Home + Vol Down while plugging in the usb cord. Figured THAT out, now if only I could figure out how to flash stock firmware back, ANY of them! Either get a version error about the bootloader, or Odin flies through the flash, says PASS! but has absolutely no effect on the phone... Crap.
Any ideas??

sammobile doesn't carry the tracfone ROM for this model unfortunately. You can get the stock firmware from hardreset.info but you need to reboot into reovery and check the binary revision... the Ux number in the PDA version, that has to match on whatever you're flashing the phone with until you have the bootloader unlocked, then you can flash it or backflash it with whatever you want.
As for carrier unlocking it, you'll have to pay for that one, just flashing the stock binary for the J3 from Samsung won't remove that. Although I am curious as to whether the TMO J3 Orbit firmware will flash onto the TracFone version... You should be able to change the CSC with the factory firmware and ODIN.
the adb reboot download worked for me when stuck on factory binary mode

Can you you reset or root or brick an M5 that is locked to a company?

Hi i recently got a M5 mediapad 8.4 at an auction but the device is locked to the energy company EE in the UK. When it powers on it asks to verify your google account. It says "To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device".
Is there any way to reset this or bypass this so i can use the tablet? Or is the tablet unusable?
Sorry i'm a noob at all this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I'm not sure but if you restart the M5 in recovery mode, can you factory reset it??
Yeah i've restarted in recovery mode and what i mentioned is what happened. Is there any other possible solutions you can think of please?
And thanks for the quick reply too.
Perhaps you could try via fastboot, i found this.
Thanks again for replying.
I'm trying to factory reset my m5 to bypass the google verification to remove the frp protection so i can use the m5.
I bought my huawei mediapad m5 8.4 from an auction and i didn't realise it is locked to an energy company EE in the UK.
I've tried pressing volume up and power button to pull up the hard reset options menu but it desn't come up on this device. I have a huawei phone too and i can pull it up on my phone but not on the m5. When you power it on the huawei logo doesn't come up only the EE logo.
I've tried youtube videos but it doesn't work.
So i decided to reset it in Fastboot mode.
I've followed all your instructions and installed all the usb drivers and adb and fastboot drivers on my windows 10 for my huawei m5 mediapad and then typed in the prompts as shown on your web page but i get error: device '(null)' not found on the command prompt.
Is there any help you can give please so i can use my m5?
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry i copied and pasted the msg i sent on droidrecovery.com where i found the instructions and the drivers to hard reset it in Fastboot mode.
I'm beginning to think that once it's been locked to a company you can't unlock it or hard reset it to use it without having the original users sign in info.
i can't pull up recovery mode to factory reset it
My idea was to use Hisuite to flash a full stock Huawei firmware, but the fastboot mode is important.
So if your M5 is off, push volume up then connect it to usb (PC), doesn't it go in fastboot mode?

Yeah it goes into fastboot mode. i then used command prompt to reset it that way but i just get the " error: device '(null)' not found "
I didn't try HiSuite yet. I'll give that a go tonight. thanks again, i'll keep you posted
i think the possible problem with the fastboot mode is possibly the m5 isn't in ADB Debugging mode which i can't access to change.
Hi again Massima, so funnily enough after installing Hisuite on my pc i was able to enter safe recovery mode and then factory resetted the tablet and cache. I then rebooted it and i still had the same problem, i was on the Google verification screen again, the FRP protection.
It was during this process i realised my tablet wasn't just an m5 it was a Harrier Tab from EE. I'm not even sure what that means and if the tablet is an m5. That was what is was advertised as, on the auction.
So i googled how to bypass google protection on Harrier Tab from EE. And a youtube video came up which i promptly followed step by step and hey presto i've bypassed the protection and can now use the tablet!!
Haha i've had this tablet for almost a year now and never knew to try youtube. I came across the xda forum last april and was meant to sign up so i could post this problem to see if i could get help. It took me this long to do it and finally because of the process i just went thru i finally unlocked it!
Tbh i didn't even need to come here. All i needed to do originally was google how to bypass google protection on Harrier Tab from EE and i could've had this working a year ago!!!
So to cut a long story short thanks to you for helping me go thru what i did to realise it was a Harrier Tab lol
Thanks for your help Massima i really appreciate you taking time to help
