Method 1: Button Combination
The easiest and most universal method of entering the download menu Android device Samsung is to use the combination of physical buttons on its housing.
- Turn off your smartphone: For devices running Android 10 and below, press and hold the shutdown button until the menu appears, and in the devices with Android 11 and One UI 3.1 twice the row of notifications from top to bottom and press the corresponding item.
- After a complete shutdown (takes about 10 seconds), use one of the following combinations:
- If there is a "home" physical key on your smartphone, the combination will be "nutrition" + "home" + "volume up";
- If the BIXBY button is present - "power" + "volume up" + "BIXBY";
- For devices without these buttons - "Power" + "Volume Up".
- If everything is done correctly, after a few seconds you will see the main recovery menu. Navigation in it is carried out by the volume buttons, and the confirmation is the power button.
The method with using physical controls is practically sureless, so use others only when this is not available.
Method 2: ADB
Also, to solve our task, you can use the Android Debug Bridge tool: with it, the operation will take no more than a few minutes.
- First of all, download the archive with the necessary software and unpack it into the root of the system disk, preferably along the path C: \ ADB.
- Make sure the drivers are present on the computer for your phone - if it is not so, use the article on the link further and install the desired software.

- After starting the snap-in, enter the CD C command in it: \ ADB (or the path you selected in the first step of the current instruction) and press "ENTER".
- Connect your samsung to the computer and wait until it is recognized. Then write the ADB Reboot Recovery command in the console.
If she did not work, try one of the two following arrays of the teams:
- ADB Shell.
Reboot Recovery.
- ADB Reboot --BNR_RECOVERY
- ADB Shell.
- The smartphone must restart and show the boot menu.
This option is also effective, but requires certain preliminary manipulations, which is not always done.
Method 3: Terminal Emulator (ROOT)
If root rights are available on your device, you can restart it into recovery using an application that emulates the terminal string. Such a lot is presented in the Play Market, but we believe the most convenient, we consider Terminal Emulator for Android.

After installation, open the program, then enter the SU command.
Now write the form of the form:
Reboot Recovery.
The device must reboot to the corresponding menu.
What to do if the phone does not boot into the recovery
If you log in to the desired menu, follow the following:
- If the problem occurs when using the method 1, make sure that all the required buttons are operational. If the phone can be downloaded to the operating system, then do it, then check the reaction to the pressing of physical controls - when colliding with problems, it is recommended to use the second and third instructions.
- By analogy with the previous problem, check the quality of the connection of the device to the computer - if there is no connection to the connection, try using another USB port or replace the cable. It is also impossible to exclude problems with the corresponding connector in the phone itself, but to eliminate this problem without a visit to the service center is almost unrealistic.
- Problems sometimes arise if certain manipulations were made earlier with the phone, for example, a custom-firmware with third-party recovery was installed, and the procedure failed. At the same time, the facing menu turned out to be moored, which leads to the inability to boot into it. In such a situation, installing a complete multifile firmware - an example of actions for performing this operation you will find in the Guide further.
