My phone powers on and off fine. However I can't boot into recovery or bootloader by using the volume+power buttons. the phone just starts normally. I can get into recovery using adb command and the volume button can cycle through the selections but the power button is unresponsive so I can't select anything. Not a hardware issue but I don't know why it isn't working. Can anyone help please?

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.
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.
I am facing a problem which i have never faced before.
My phone is a Sprint HTC M8 Stock Marshmellow and working fine. The problem is when i want to enter fast boot mode, After turning off the phone when i try to press the power button + volume down, the phone vibrates and then nothing happens except a black screen. I can understand the phone is in fastboot mode as its detected by the All in One Tool. But no further movement after that. I have to press Power + volume Up to reboot the phone again to enter my os.
In simple words i cant access the bootloader menu, all i see is a black screen. Can anyone help please?
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.
