How to fix Downloading do not turn off target
Are you stuck in download mode? “Downloading..Do not turn off target!!” is an error message that appears mainly on Samsung and some Nexus devices. Most users report that their device unexpectedly rebooted into a black screen with the caption Downloading…Do not turn off target.
At a first glance, it might look like the message will be gone after the phone downloads some files, but most of the time that’s not the case. Usually, it’s a sign that your device’s firmware has been tampered with, but that’s not the only cause.
Method 1: Exiting Download mode (Samsung Only)
If you entered Download Mode by mistake, the fix couldn’t be easier. This is confirmed to work on Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S7. Unless your smartphone has more serious problems, the following method will make the error message go away:
Make sure you’re on the screen with Downloading… Do not turn off target.
Simultaneously press and hold Power button + Home button + Volume Down button. It’s important to press them at the same time.
Keep them pressed until the screen goes black, then release all buttons.
If your device doesn’t automatically reboot, press the power button yourself.
If your phone is still unable to boot up, move over to Method 2.
Method 2: Forcing a Clean Restart
If you’re having this issue on a Nexus, or the first method didn’t make your Samsung device boot up normally, let’s try forcing a restart and drain the capacitors before attempting to boot up again.
Hold the power button until your device is turned off. If it doesn’t respond, move to step two.
Take out the back case and remove the battery.
Note: If you have a Galaxy S6 or another device with a non-removable battery, press and hold the Power button for 15-20 seconds to force a reboot. If that doesn’t work, press and hold Volume Down button + Power button for 10 -20 seconds. This will perform a simulated battery disconnect - it’s the equivalent of physically disconnecting the battery.
Take out the SIM card and your SD card if you have any.
With the battery removed, press and hold the power button for at least 20 seconds. This will discharge any left electricity from the capacitors and some internal components.
Power up your device again and see if it boots up normally.
Method 3: Wiping the Cache partition
If the two methods above didn’t make the “Downloading… Do not turn off target” error go way, your phone might be suffering from a firmware glitch. These things are quite complicated to tackle, as the culprit can be anything from an OTA update to a bad re-flash.
If you this error started appearing after your phone received an OS update or you’ve recently re-flashed your stock ROM, deleting the wipe cache partition might get rid of some potential conflicts. Here’s what you need to do:
