QA- It won't boot into fastbboot - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Anybody else like this? If I press both buttons and power or up-volume and power, it says, "No command." and volume down and power it boots into the OS.
Is it a variant or is it [email protected]#ked or am I retarded?

... And from the PC?
adb reboot bootloader

Should be vol down + power.

Power then vol-down, release vol-down then release power during the Google screen. It worked. I don't know, these buttons make my hands seem like ham.
<Edit>
Inside the menu I've noticed I can't move down...so I was never pressing vol-down correctly. The problem was user generated; I'm dumb.

[Q]Can't access Clockwordmod Recovery after Cool Sensation flashing

As the title already says,
I'm stuck at an endless boot loop of the HTC logo and the volume down + POWER button doesn't get me into recovery again, like the option gone. So I'm stuck and I can't flash the boot-up FIX image since I can't access Clockworkmod recovery as I really only used this to flash images. Any help would be highly appreciated and it's rather urgent to me.
Thank you.
Turn the phone off
Click in trackpad. Hold
Click on volume down. Hold
Click on power. Hold everything until you see tge white hboot.
Press vol down to RECOVERY
Press power.
Et voila.

For some strange reason that doesn't work either. I will keep on trying your method until someone gives another solution... Well my volume button wasn't always sensitive so I needed to click hard, I will try though. Thank you as for now.

OK, another method:
1. Switch your phone off
2. Keep pressing the Back button
3. Power phone on (Power button) while keeping the Back button pressed
4. Check if "BOOTLOADER" is marked", if not select it by using Volume up/down buttons
5. Press Power button
6. via Volume up/down select "RECOVERY"
7. Press Power again
You are in Recovery and ready to flash / restore / backup etc.
EDIT: if you volume down button is out of function you can "scroll" with the vol. up button as well. If you reached the top of a list, it will jump to the bottom automatically.
Settings> applications> fastboot. Untick.
Power down. Power up+volume down.
Fastboot location might be different though. It is in applications for me.

I had a similar issue, but I wasn't stuck in a bootloop. Couldn't access recovery using vol-down at all, I could access it using ROM Manager, but it loaded the bundled version (3.0.0.5) not the installed one (2.5.1.8). Weirdly enough, selecting 'reboot recovery' in the 'temporary' recovery rebooted me into the installed one
The two posts above fixed it for me though, just unticking 'fastboot' wasn't enough - it just stopped it switching off (it would always reboot immediately!), but holding 'back' while it was rebooting got me into HBOOT.
I did discover that if I pressed and held vol-down while the htc white screen was showing it would start in 'safe-mode' - That was a shock, thought I'd caught Windows
It started right after I installed a new ROM, I don't really understand how that could affect it but I'm going to try a different one now to see if the problem goes away.
PVT1 S-OFF (Alpharev)
CWM 2.5.1.8
HBOOT 0.93
similar problem
Hi, I'm new and also noob, so sorry
I have same or similar problem...
I made update from A2.2 to A2.3.3 official ROM from HTC for HTC Desire and than I found custom ROM with Sense 3.0 - Cool Sensation v7.
I made S-Off and I have HBOOT 6.93.1002 now. Tried to instal custom ROM, everything installed good, but after rebooting system is still in boot-loop and a can not instal boot-fix because I still get error regarding some error about edify...
Some like this:
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
Can someone help me? Thx.

Download Mode

I am having no luck getting my device into download mode (I can't believe it).
If I hold volume up, menu, and power button, 'samsung' in white letters just keeps flashing slowly.
if i let go of holding them, then it brings me to an android recovery screen.
any advice please?
edit: solved ---- thought it was volume up i was supposed to hold, but is volume down

Yep... Vol Down + Home + Pwr for Download mode. BTW, it's the HOME (center) button... not the Menu key.

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.

Power button not working in Hboot. Stuck in safe mode!

Hello, I have searched the forum but cant seem to find an answer or a problem similar to mine.
So I was using my phone as normal and the power button wouldn't lock the screen. I held in the power button and it brings up a message saying hold power and vol up for 10 seconds to restart so the power button was obviously recognised.
I reboot into the hboot menu and can move up and down but not select, again the power button at fault. However when I hold the power button in here it turns the phone off.
When holding power button and vol up in hboot it reboots to safe mode, with the power key working exactly as it should locking screen and holding in for power options. There have been no recent app installs to cause this.
If anyone knows/ has an idea why it would be greatly appreciated .

Were you having problems with vol and power buttons before?

How Do I Get In Recovery Mode?

I used "adb reboot recevery", it takes me to the laying android with "no command" but the old power button/volume nerve pinches don't seem to work to get to recovery.

This is the most finicky device I've had for getting into recovery.
You need to hold power and then press volume up and immediately release both of them....just keep trying, it's very picky

that is insane. After about 8 tries of doing like you said I got it. Finally flashing 8.1.
This took me a few tries.
When the Android logo is displayed hold down the Power key for a few moments.
While still pressing the Power button press and release the Volume Up key.
The following steps worked for me (taken from AndroidExplained):
Pixel 2 Fastboot Mode
Press and hold the power button for a few seconds
Tap the Power Off option when the Power Menu appears
Wait for the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL to completely turn off
Then press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time
Continue holding these two buttons down until you boot into Fastboot Mode

That only gets you into fastboot. From there you will need to select recovery, then you will arrive at the dead android screen, at which time you will need to hold the power button, then while holding the power button, tap vol. up to enter recovery.
Verified instructions
Here are the instructions I pulled from a Google forum:
1. Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
2. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Recovery mode."
3. Press the Power button to start recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
4. Press & hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release Power.
