Galaxy S5 stuck on “Downloading…Do not turn off the target” screen
Problem: I tried to root the phone using CF-Root. The root passed and when it tried to reboot it got back to the Odin screen with “Downloading…Do not turn off the target” screen. It remains on this screen forever. If I try to boot by pressing the Volume Up + Home + Power on it goes to the recovery booting… “Recovery is not SEAndriod enforcing. Set warranty bit: recovery” screen. If I use the power + home + volume down button it comes back to the “Downloading…Do not turn off the target.” Please help.
Troubleshooting: It’s a custom recovery and ROM compatibility issue. I know someone who got into this trouble after he inadvertently installed a lower version of custom recovery to the recent firmware. The solution is to flash the correct version of custom recovery may it be CWM or TWRP. You might be having issues booting into Download Mode so try this:
- Remove the battery.
- Press and hold the Download Mode button combo (Volume Down, Home, Power).
- Place the battery back in.
- Press Volume Down to continue.
Once you’ve successfully booted in Download Mode, use Odin to flash the recovery. That’s all!
