Hi,
Fairly new to android scene. I recently rooted and unlocked the bootloader. I'm now trying to get CWM ... but I can no longer get to the bootloader so I can enter fastboot mode. I hold down the power and the down vol key but nothing happens, after a while it just restarts the phone.
Edit: I got into bootloader by holding down vol down and power for about 5 seconds then let go of the power button and then tap the power button a few times.
Did you disable fastboot? If not it's under settings -> power.
Then try again, hold both buttons down until it appears.
I disabled fastboot. Sorry forgot to mention that in the first post. Right now I'm trying to set up ADB and see if I can do it from there, but I'm having problems doing that too.

Okay here's the run down. I'm on JB and rooted, and was about to apply the new FreeGee bootloader unlock, when I wanted, out of sheer curiosity, to check to see if I could get into the stock recovery by holding powering off and then holding Vol Down + Power. Ever since I rooted it didn't seem to work anymore, but I didn't have a need to boot into since manually applying the JB update.
Anyway, neither Vol Down+Power of Vol Up+Power worked, the phone just booted normally. So, I decided to use ADB to boot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery". It worked, and the stock recovery loaded up. I can scroll up and down using the volume keys, but for some reason cannot select any option by pressing the power button. If I hold the power button down, the phone will appear to restart, but it boots right back into the stock Android system recovery, where again, I cannot simply select any choice with the power button. ADB doesn't list the device since I'm in recovery, and I only have fastboot installed on my lapton running XP which isn't available at the moment (I'm on OSX 10.6).
I'm thinking pulling the battery may work, but I don't have my torx screw driver handy. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps where to get fastboot for OSX (it appears to still be missing from Android SDK). Thanks.
EDIT: SOLVED - Turns out in stock recovery, the soft menu button (the one on the bottom right) is used to make the selection, not the power button like in the custom recoveries. Still not sure why the Power+Vol. Down doesn't work to boot into the stock system recovery.
Use the menu button to select now.
what dm said. they wont be lit up but they still work
Yeah, I figured that out almost immediately after posting this (feel dumb now). Thanks though.
Any idea why the key combo Vol. Down + Power no longer works to boot into stock recovery? Seems odd that it worked before when manually updating to JB.
Hello. Can you tell me another solution. I have similar problem. Stuck in recovery mode with faulty power button, and can't get out of there. It's not working with menu button. Is there a way to do it with SD memory card? Thanks.

1. Unplug phone - VERY important
2. power on phone, doesn't matter if it is boot looping or whatever
3. hold vol up and power EXACTLY 10 seconds
4. let go of both
5. hold vol down and power till boot loader comes up.
You have no charge because you are running an old ver of twrp, get 2.7.1.0

Share how I fixed my HTC M8 with the same problem.
Hi,
I just want to share how I fixed my HTC M8 with the same issue. The method is the same but a bit different. I found the solution from googling the below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...ter-download-mode-t2853100/page2#post62490577
The essential method is to keep holding down the power button and don't let it go while pressing on the volume up button to reset. At the very moment before the phone resets and shows the HTC logo white screen, switch from pressing the volume up button to the volume down button while holding down the power button. Or you can count 10 seconds and switch before the screen resets.
I hope this helps other people with the same issue.

Thanks, the pwr + vol-up 10 seconds before the phone hard resets, them pwr + vol-down got me back into hboot and recovery and then out of a build.prop issue.
I have no idea why this is a thing: Getting into the boot loader is usually easy. I can't imagine why when the system doesn't boot normally that the standard procedure to enter hboot changes.
regardless of retarded engineering on qualcom or htc's part, thank you an0ther.
My ADB is On in settings and I can use ADB normal. But when my Phone is off I can't turn it on anymore the only way would be with ADB command: ADB reboot devices!
Power button + Volume UP/DOWN isn't working anymore...
The thing is, when connecting my Phone to my PC after it gets off it will show the charging animation. And when my phone reached 100% it stays in the animation and doesn't boot up. ADB isnt working in that state.
How can I boot my phone?? Pls I hope someone can help me PLS PLS
You must try conclude pins on motherboard for button volume up when you connecting USB cable, after that fastboot was started and you can type fastboot reboot command on pc.

If you have power and volume-down buttons functioning, boot the phone with the power button and when the bootloader unlocked warning comes up, press the volume-down button and you will get the options for restart, fastboot, recovery etc. Simply choose what you want with the volume-down button and confirm with the power button.

yes got that problem is i need volume up button to work so i can put in adb mode so i can flash stock rom,i decrypted my devices then installed the oneos rom and thats when i lost access to recovery and goot into bootloop?
Trying to relock boot loader. Have flashed stock and OEM is live but greyed out. Have tried to get back to bootloader screen as per rooting instructions, hold down both volume up and down buttons, hold down power and plug in USB, just goes into start boot loop not getting past the first powered by android screen.
Can boot into download mode but no options there, tried holding the up volume button but nothing happened, tried both up vol and power, nothing, tried both up and down vol, nothing and of course do power and down vol and reboots phone.
Tried vol down, hold power button and USB cable and boot power up loop again.
Tried ADB but phone is not recognised when connected to computer and in download mode, works with Odin so not sure why not with ADB.
Any idea's on how to get to bootloader screen so I can relock?
I have TWRP installed, and have managed to run it a few times. Now I cannot start TWRP at all.
From off, if I switch on, the following happens:
1) Screen with Samsung Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox
2) 0.5 seconds later another screen, "this phone's bootloader is unlocked and it software integrity. .." and "press power key to continue..."
3) 5 seconds later, same screen as (1)
4) 3 seconds later, red letters "this phone is not running Samsung's official software"
5) 3 seconds later blank screen with "samsung" and then booting to android.
In my experience I have to flash twrp every time I want to use it( I don't know the reason but I couldn't fix it ) , for booting twrp on the other hand I turn off the phone first, then I press power button+volume down until the "this phones bootloader..." screen appears, here is the tricky part, you have to quickly let go of these two buttons, press power button, let go of the power button (after the warning disappeared) and then press volume down button (and hold it) until twrp logo appears, this happens really fast so you may need to do it a few times to get used to it.

Yes, same here, the only time I have managed to run TWRP on this phone, is right after a flash.

Do you mean volume down?

Power off the device, plug into a pc, wait for it to start charge, hold vol up and power till it turns on. Wala boots to twrp. If you have magisk installed,you can use the reboot option within magisk.

Samsung changed how to enter recovery on Android 11. Power off device, plug into pc, wait for it to charge, then hold vol up and power till it turns on. Alternatively, if you have magisk installed, use the reboot options within magisk.
I did that. Thanks!
But it has gone to:
Android Recovery
Samsung /a70qxx/a70q
11/RP1A.200720.012./A705FNXXUB5DVB3
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe date/factory reset
...
...
...
Where is TWRP? It seems it's gone.

That's because you're not installing it properly go back to my guide and follow it exactly and stop listening to these other people. I've been modding this device since it first came out with Android 9, I know every inch of this device. You're getting confused by what other people are telling you

5- Press and hold vol down and power till the screen turns blank then immediately press and hold vol up. The device will reboot then land you in the twrp splash screen

It fails here, on this step. After successful flash of recovery.tar, power + vol down to reboot, cable still connected, nothing you can do now can bring TWRP up. The phone boots into Android.
EDIT: I think I have now got it. I will update in a few mins.

After successful flash of recovery.tar, power and vol down to reboot, as soon as the phone screen goes blank, immediately release all keys and press and hold vol up. Must be as soon as screen goes blank. The device will then reboot twice and land you in twrp splash screen. You must hit vol down and power after successful flash then when screen blanks, vol up. If you miss this step, twrp will not hold and revert back to stock recovery.
Here is the notes I made today:
****************************************************************
INSTALL + START TWRP
phone is off
press up + dn
insert cable
go into download (press up)
ODIN 3.14 + AP:tar(vbmeta.img+twrp.img), auto reboot off, press upload
when it succeeds, press dn + pwr until it reboots
then quickly up + pwr until it starts (no need to hold down)
this starts in TWRP
from powered off
press pwr button
goes into twrp or android(system) -- depending on what was used last time
if we used reboot->system last time it will now **Always** go into system!
to go back into twrp:
switch off
power cable until charge
pwr + up until it starts
****************************************************************
The above means that you CANNOT go back to TWRP unless you have a cable and a PC near by.
