Re: why is my tablet saying Downloading do not turn off target
Welcome to Android Central! Which tablet do you have? Download Mode is for transferring a firmware file to the device from your computer in order to install a new or custom OS version. As long as you're not connected to anything, try forcing a shutdown by pressing and holding the Power button for about 10-15 seconds (if it's Samsung, press and hold Power and Vol Down for 10-15 seconds). If it shuts off, wait a few seconds, then power back on normally.
