My galaxy s is stuck on the Downloading...do not turn off target!!!" screen I have tried takeing out the batterie and volume up home and power neither one worked

Try taking the battery out. Then put battery back in. Before turning on hold the volume up button, home button and power button at the same time. When the android screen come on let go of the power button and press the volume down key and follow the on screen instructions.

You're in Fastboot mode.

Hold Power + Volume Up until the tablet resets.

Remove the battery and the SD card.

Put the battery back in and turn on the device.

Try Menu > Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu > Advanced and uncheck Always allow scanning.

Now you should be able to turn the device off and reinsert the SD card.

Boot it up and your problem might be gone.

• Also try this if the above mentioned doesnt work
• You could remove the SD card, backup the data, put it back in the phone and try reformatting it via Settings > Storage > Format SD card .
• If it's stuck in a boot loop and you can't get in to the main menu, you could factory reset the Galaxy Note 3 using the hardware buttons (but you will lose all data on it). Back up first if you can, and then:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Press and hold the Volume up, Home, and Power buttons.
3. When you see the Galaxy Note 3 logo, let go of Power.
4. When you see the Android System Recovery screen let go of Volume up and Home.
