Frank,

After the suggested method failed I also tried holding either and both 
buttons plus the power button. Holding volume-dow + power resulted in a 
boot-cycle, never showing the samsung logo.

And by the way, my J5 has a single power-button on the right, and the two 
volume buttons on the left. IOW, not a configuration as shown by any of the 
images on that hard reset page.
