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.

Make sure your device is fully charged and turned off.
Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.

ONE M8 Phone not powering off PLEASE HELP!!

So I flashed SuperSU in recovery hit reboot and my phones in this dark backlight is on but it wont power off. Im really freaked out because i press down power and it will not power off. all help is appreciated
Connect it to your computer and reboot it via adb fastboot.

Hold power + vol up for several seconds to force a reboot.
But if the phone did not properly reboot after flashing something, you will likely have to do something more than power off or reboot.
While the phone is rebooting (as the screen goes dark, and before the boot splash screen shows), let go of power + vol up, and hold vol down to get into bootloader. From there, see if you can get into recovery.

Htc stuck on white htc screen

hello friends i have a Problem my htc one m8 stuck on White htc Screen i dont can boot in the bootloader menu what i can do now ? My dvice is rooted , unlocked and it have the trwp installed. When i press power + vol-down Buttons nothing Comes and the vol-down key works.
greets marvin
power + vol down doesn't work if the phone is already on (even "stuck" on the boot splash screen). That button combo only works when powered off, or during a reboot.
Do the following:
1) Hold power + vol up to force a reboot. You may need to hold the buttons for a minute or so, in the current "stuck" condition.
2) When the screen goes black to reboot, but before the HTC logo screen appears (you have about 3 seconds) let go of the power and vol up buttons, and only hold the vol down button. Do not let go until you see the bootloader screen.
3) If you fail to get into bootloader, it's always due to getting the timing wrong. You either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat Steps 1 and 2 above, until you get it right.

A50 stuck in bootloop, can't go into recovery or anything else... need help

So I wanted to root my device, and i did the steps till i flashed twrp(unofficial one for a50), i was at this point: To get out of Download mode and Enter TWRP Recovery mode: Press and hold Volume Down + Power key, when screen blanks release Volume down only and quickly press Volume Up key. As the screen blanked out i also accidentaly let go of the power button... bootloop since... I can't do anything, can't use recovery, can't use download mode, cant connect to it with my pc using a cable. so either i wait till the battery dies or i find another solution...
1. Unplug USB cable from phone.
2. Hold down power button till it shuts off
3. When it's off, hold vol up + vol down & Press power
4. It should boot to download mode.
5. Load stock rom for your model (Check the variant to make sure)
6. All is back to normal again.

How to reliably start TWRP

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

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.
