My Tab S 8.4 is still unrooted.
I tried going into download mode to just check the KNOX status.
Unfortunately you cant turn it off or pull the battery out!
Doesnt work when pressing Power + Vol UP + Menu or Power + Vol Down + Menu or just holding the Power.

Here's what i did. In Download Mode, Press and hold Power + Vol UP + Vol DOWN
It should restart the device successfuly.

I hope it helps.

Absolutely correct. :good: All that is required is hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER nothing else until it restarts.

All you probably did there was as above as you had the VOLUME DOWN button pressed.The procedure can be used anytime the tab s is on. Its the equivelant of a battery pull.

Thank you, My Samsung 8 Note was stuck in the "downloading" mode. Pressed the Vol + and - and power buttons at the same time for about 4 to 5 seconds and it reset to a screen showing 4 options . use the Vol - to # 4 "power off phone". After it powers down turned it on and it was back to normal.
