Thanks for help.

Hi @lordphoenix

I see 2 possible causes :

1. Take a working USB cable

2. It is probably waiting for You to reboot the phone in “recovery mode” using the button combination.

…NOW COMES THE CRUTIAL STEP !..

• To get out of the Download mode you must Force Power Off your Samsung device, unplug the device,
  hold Volume Down + Power.
  release when you see the screen turn off…

…IT IS THE CRUTIAL STEP !..

• immediately Boot to Recovery before any other boot mode attempt,
  hold Volume up + Home + Power.
  release when you see the very little blue line in the top of the screen…

…IT WAS THE CRUTIAL STEP !..

you can read this TWRP first boot explanation ? By @aibd

.

You must successfully end with the TWRP splash logo ! And the welcome screen :

if you see something like that

It FAILED ! that is the Official Stock Vendor Samsung Gogol Firmware Recovery screen !
Please re-read and retry the flashing process of TWRP

@lordphoenix

process gets stuck on Downloading screen each time.

Actually the Downloading screen never changes at this point.

@lordphoenix let us know the outcome. I’m interested in your experience, as I’m about to do the same.

I finally succeeded by insisting a little, apparently the problem was due to the cables and USB connections not being ideal.

Obviously, in normal use it’s not a problem, probably because it’s handled by the software, but in this case it was more of a problem than usual.
