Welcome, I'm Filomena, a Samsung Galaxy S22 and today I will show you how we can boot
0:15
this phone into download mode. Now for this you will need a cable that is plugged into your computer strictly to boot
0:22
into the recovery mode. Let's plug it in right away. So it's charging right now
0:29
So from here you will want to power off the device and immediately after powering it off
0:34
you want to hold power key and volume down. Now I'll mention it is better to hold the keys too early rather than too late just to
0:42
save a little bit on time. So I'm going to actually demonstrate what will happen if you don't hold it quick enough
0:51
It's not really like breaking anything, it's just a little bit more tedious and time consuming
0:58
So let's power off our device. And basically once you feel the vibration on the device you want to hold power key and
1:06
volume up. But if for some reason you don't it will then show you charging progress
1:17
Any moment now. There we go. At which point if you hold those keys from what I remember it will not boot into recovery
1:24
mode because it needs to go through this entire animation. So now that it's grayed out, dimmed out, you can now hold those keys and it should boot
1:35
us into recovery mode. So like I said it doesn't really break anything but it just consumes more time which personally
1:42
I don't like wasting my time so I would prefer to hold it too early and boot into that recovery
1:49
mode quicker. Anyway, once you're in the recovery mode you want to use volume keys to navigate down to
1:59
reboot to bootloader. Now I understand that this is called bootloader but trust me, Samsung doesn't have a bootloader accessible
2:07
So this is actually download mode because it's not like recovery mode comes with another
2:12
mode called download mode that I could add in here. That's sarcasm for everybody
2:18
Anyway, once it's selected, press power key and we won't get to bootloader, we will get
2:23
to download mode and there we go. So that is how you could access the download mode and to leave this mode you can see a
2:32
message right here. Hold volume down and power key for more than 7 seconds
2:38
Now it says side key. It's not like volume keys aren't on the side but I'm just going to refer to this always
2:46
as a power key. Power and volume down. I would recommend actually unplugging it before or right after the screen turns off
3:03
Just because if you don't, the phone won't actually turn on as it does right now
3:07
It will then show you again the charging animation which prevents the phone from turning on
3:13
So I recommend unplugging it as quick as you can or unplugging it before you hold those keys
3:18
And this will then boot you back into your Android. So if you found this video helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe and thanks for watching
