Using the Galaxy S6 is great as the smartphone comes with new features, apps and Android dedicated capabilities, not to mention that you can anytime spice things up by tweaking your phone. However, if you are planning in completing different operations on your device in order to customize and optimize the stock Android Lollipop OS, first I recommend you to learn how to complete some basic procedures, such as entering recovery mode or rebooting into download mode.
While the first task has been already covered in another dedicated tutorial, during the following guidelines I will show you how to enter and use download mode on your Galaxy S6. We will also discuss about the reasons why you should learn how to complete such an operation and what other procedures can be applied while using the mentioned environment. Thus, for further details, don’t hesitate and check the lines from below.Similar with the recovery mode menu, the download mode environment represents an in built feature that is pre installed on your Samsung Galaxy S6 – and on any other Samsung branded device (the download mode is dubbed as fastboot or bootloader mode on non-Samsung handsets). Therefore, rebooting into download mode can be done easily and safely as this will be an official operation, which is also featured by default on the Android Lollipop system.
Moreover, download mode is also a hidden menu, just like the recovery feature. However, you cannot complete the same operations through these modes. That’s why you now need to know that usually the download mode is required when you need to apply an official Android update through Odin or through other similar programs. Therefore, entering download mode on your Samsung Galaxy S6 will be a must if you will have to use Odin for updating or for downgrading your Android device to stock Android OS.In conclusion, you will have to learn how to complete the methods from below if you will have to update, downgrade or unbrick your Galaxy S6 – by flashing stock or official Android OS you are also restoring your smartphone back to its initial state, which means that in this way you can resolve various software related issues such as boot loops, lags, bugs, force close errors, battery drain problems, heating issues, or even total blackouts.As already pointed out, the reboot sequence from below represents an official operation, so reaching download mode will not void the warranty of your Galaxy S6. Moreover, the steps from this tutorial can be completed in the same way whether we are talking about a rootedor locked smartphone, or if you phone is installed with a custom recovery image, with the stock recovery or with a custom ROM firmware – this is a general guide that can be anytime followed.Before using the download mode environment for completing an update operation, you should backup your Samsung Galaxy S6 – else you might end up in losing your personal data, info and accounts. Therefore, don’t hesitate and save what’s important for you (including contacts, call logs, texts, EFS, internet settings, current ROM, market apps and so on) by using free distributed backup and restore apps from Google Play, cloud storage platforms or any other similar tools.You also should charge your device because if the battery level is currently lower than 50%, your handset might just get turned off in the middle of the reboot procedure. Well, if that happens, your phone might get bricked or damages, so the best will be to avoid unpleasant situations like this one. Other than that, you are good to go.
