Help How to put prevail 2 into download mode

Newbie
I know how to put it into upload mode (not sure if that is the same thing) and i know how to boot into stock recovery. How do i boot into download mode
 
you can also type
adb reboot download
if you're on a computer to do it from there. or, if your phone is rooted, you can type into a terminal emulator:
su
reboot download
hope this helps other people :)
 
It didn't work using terminal Emulator but adb worked perfectly

Now I just wish there was an easier step by step guide to installing cwm than what I found in all things root. If I couldn't even figure out how to put my phone into download mode then I wonder what my chances are of bricking my phone by using odin incorrectly probably very high

Click to expand...
it didn't? it worked on all other devices I've used.
they're two separate commands:
su
then you should get a prompt asking for superuser permissions.
THEN you type
reboot download
i hope I cleared up any confusion :p
unless it just straight up didn't work for you.. in which case I don't know what's wrong

It works thank you though it really doesn't matter now because i eventually found the correct hardware keys to enter all of the boot options.

Download mode: volume down, power
upload mode: volume down, home, power
recovery: volume up, power

download mode can be used for flashing a custom recovery or kernel but I really don't know what upload mode is used for. Maybe it's only useful for the manfacturers
