android icon downloading don't turn off target "downloading do not turn off target" Yeah it happened to me last night as well. Idk how my phone battery died and when I turned it on it went to that screen. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2. Freaked me out. thought some sort of virus or something! Paranoia. big destroyah. Rebooted, pulled battery out and then reset. all ok! Actually Odin is a windows program used to flash .tar files to the phone. These tar files can be radios, recoverys, kernels or even roms. I still have odin from my Fascinate and charge days. Since cwm/twrp and the fastboot system with the nexus devices work so well, we have little need for odin. I know this is like yeaarrsssss already. BUT we're u able to fix your tablet? The same thing happening to my Note 10.1 N8000. It's an old tablet, I know. However, I never change into new ones. Now it's happening to me. ODIN MODE. Downloading do not turn off target. Is there anyone having this problem and successfully fix it?? I couldn't open the tablet to pull out the battery. And no, there's no home button on my tablet too. All I did was pressing the power button and volume. Nothing happened. It keeps like this. S7 Edge stuck on "Downloading. Do Not Turn off Target". Hi, Got my S7 Edge a week ago and love it, but have just encountered a problem and need some help! I've been a long term iphone user, and this is my first android phone so have no idea whats happened here lol. I was driving and the battery was nearly dead on my S7, so reached down and turned it off. Just got home and picked it up, and it is stuck on a green screen with a message saying "Downloading. Do Not Turn off Target" in the middle and in the top left it says: FACTORY MODE DOWNLOADING SPEED: FAST PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935F CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official SYSTEM STATUS: Official FAP LOCK: ON Secure Download: Enabled WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000) RP SWREV: B: 1 K:0 S:0. Please help me! The phone is completely standard and not been altered so no idea what this is :-( EDIT: Ok got my phone to reboot by pressing and holding the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons as described on another thread while googling the problem! The phone has rebooted and all seems normal, but I'd still like to know what caused it and what the message meant?? Cheers. I have the same problem . What can I do? No button responds . I have the same problem . What can I do? No button responds . This is for the galaxy S6 but it's the same procedures for the S7. I've experienced this same issue on a Note 4. Had the phone for a year and a half. Absolutely love it, no issues with any OS, upgrades or battery. No recent apps added but there was a recent OS automatic update. As far as I can tell, no virus issues detected by my anti-virus/malware app. After having phone plugged in all night, first noticed in the morning that battery level only showed 17%. Unusual since fast charge gets me 50%+ in half hour. I hit the power button and immediately got the Android screen with the "Do Not Turn Off Downloading Target" message. At the top, the first line (in red) displayed a 'could not boot in normal mode' message. Found the reboot process online and it worked. Unfortunately, this message has occurred at least a two dozen times now (in the span of 3 days). Even rebooting using the power/down volume button combination doesn't work all the time. Removing the battery restores the phone but not immediately and not every time. I had a Samsung rep reload Marshmallow 6.0.1 (it took 3 attempts before a successful upload) after doing a factory reset and wiping out my data. Guess what. NO HELP. I thought a clean install would be the sure fix but I guess not. Within 2 hrs of reloading the OS from scratch the message returned. I've also noticed that my phone is a little hotter than normal so I'm going to change out the battery just to eliminate as a possible cause. The phone is charged with the OEM charger but I'm replacing that also to eliminate that as a possibility. I'm beginning to wonder if the latest OS is part of the issue. Any comments/suggestions are welcome. I see this is quite an issue, inconvenience and expense for many so I'll update if something works or doesn't work. Downloading. Do not turn off target!! So I have the same issues others are having with not being able to update on my rooted N10 except, I can't go into recovery. About Me: Rooted Nexus 10> Running Stock JB 4.2.1> When I hold down the power and down button I go into the bootloader and it says "Downloading. Do not turn off target!!" and it will just stay on this screen. I can't toggle anything, up and down buttons do not work to go into recovery, reset bootloader, start device etc.. But I can hold the power button down and then restart the device and everything works fine. How do I go about this? My only thinking is that I am going to have to go into ADB, but I'm not even sure if that's going to work. Well I feel like an *****. Didn't know that there was a separate "download mode". I must have gotten mixed up because on my N7 and N4 I believe both of those are Power + Volume down to boot to recovery. Thanks for the info, by the way I tried what you said - (Power + Volume Up) twice and it only restarted the tablet. I then did Power + BOTH Volume up and down and it booted into recovery.. Silly me. I'll give you a thanks anyway, since it did help me get to where I wanted. Thanks for the quick response guys, a mod can lock this if need be. I finally ended up pulling my battery and I was okay. I'm not sure if I was just lucky or what. Anyways, hopefully someone will give a technical answer.
