[All Feasible Ways] How to Exit Download Mode

If you have been using an Android for a while, you may probably have heard of the different types of booting modes it has. Three well-known ones are Safe Mode, Recovery Mode, and Fastboot Mode; and for mobile users, there is also Download Mode. It also goes by the name Odin Mode.

Part 1. What is Download Mode?

Download Mode is a mode recommended mostly for advanced users who wish to explore the potential of their devices and their OS. It allows people to download ROM and Kernels, and it's the official way of updating the firmware. You can use Download Mode to upgrade a device, change service providers or installing a new custom OS. Download Mode is also used to root devices in order to gain more control over them.

You can get into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Power, Home, and Volume Down buttons simultaneously. A warning screen will pop up and ask you if you want to continue. Press Volume Up and a downloading screen will appear. Your device is now in Download Mode.

Part 2. 2 Ways to Exit Android Download Mode Manually

Occasionally the device may get stuck in Download Mode for no discernible reason. This is a perfectly normal thing to happen to your device, and it can be fixed in several different ways depending on your skill level and confidence.

1. Force Restart

The simplest thing to do if your phone is caught in Download Mode and hasn't exited after several hours is to force a restart on your Android. A hard reboot force stops all programs running in the background of your device and starts it again from fresh.

In order to do a hard reboot, you need to:

Step 1: Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons simultaneously.

Step 2: Wait for the screen to dim or turn off entirely for a couple of minutes or longer.

Step 3: Turn the phone back on.

2. Remove the Battery

If the hard reboot fails, you can let the power drain completely from your device. However, this does require a long time, so if you need to hurry, then you can also try to remove your device's battery entirely.

Note: we only recommend trying this way when you are an expert or have done similar things before. Removing or replacing a battery from a phone can be difficult and may take about forty minutes to three hours according to a different model of your phone.

The general public should go to a computer or phone repair shop and let a professional remove or change the battery. 

Part 3. The Most Advanced Way to Exit Download Mode

Of course, it can be expensive to get your device's battery removed and replaced, so there is an alternative to try out before taking that drastic action. Furthermore, many users found that a battery pull is not helpful for the Galaxy Note 5/S6 or the Galaxy Note 8/S8 and etc. because it has an unremovable battery/back cover.

Fortunately, there is an advanced program available if you find yourself stuck in Download Mode.
