Green robot on my note 4 and says Downloading...Do not turn off target!!

Welcome to AndroidCentral 😃

Are you doing a software update? Does the green robot have a little cog spinning in the middle?

If Yes, this is absolutely normal and just wait for it to do its thing. Could take up to 1 hour to install + optimise your apps.

Of course, it you're not downloading anything to the phone, just hold the power button down until the phone restarts (usually not more than 30 seconds).

The robot with a little cog spinning has been on my phone for hours now and my phone keeps going on and off showing the robot. I cant do nothing it wont restart nothing. What is wrong?

Try power/volume up buttons same time for 10 seconds ...you had to get in that mode it's for flashing software

I have, but still even now still going on and off with the robot with the cog, how long does this usually take? It has been happening since 8am in the morning

Under the" stop don't turn target off " you see a line that's quarter way filled ?

That is the thing nothing like "dont turn the gadget off" and no line just a robot with a cog spinning

Ok that's recovery mode
Try power/volume up/home button same time until screen changes

[Oohdree]

I have been but nothing happens Im getting worried now. I am using a Huawei Y6Pro phone

[Oohdree]

Its off now but when I press the power/volume up it goes back to the recovery mode.

Sounds like it's bricked
Take the battery out for 5 minutes , then put it back before starting the phone hold the power /volume up/home to get into recovery to do factory reset hopeful it can get past the bot

My phones battery is built in so I cannot take it out, does not have a home button either just the volume and the power buttons.

You should be able to force a shutdown on any Android device by pressing and holding Power for about 20 seconds. Count it out with a watch -- 20 seconds is a lot longer than it seems.
