Where the hell is the ENTER and FUNCTION (ALT) buttons on the SCH-M480???

Im trying to flash my phone via instructions I've read in this forums, and for a phone of the same make as mine (but different model # because different country) which is the the Samsung SGH-i780. The keys are basically identical, and other people on the forums have done this flash, but how they got past flashing step 8 I havent the foggiest. It says:
(8) Switch on the phone while holding the ENTER and FUNCTION buttons (ALT BUTTON)
(9) After the system DETECT message appears, connect the phone via USB to your PC
Where are those buttons?? I would assume it would be the half white and half black half white button (alt/function) and the normal enter curved down then left arrow key (enter). You can see the keypad here:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I've tried it dozens of times and I get no such msg or nothing out of the ordinary. I've tried other button combinations also but to no avail. Please, someone, anyone, any ideas??? I desperately need to flash this phone, thanks!

[SPLASH] WM 6.5 & XDA Inspired Splash Screen [RAPH]

Here is a splash screen I whipped up...Since splash screens are so easy to make I almost did not share this...but I absolutely love XDA and this is me trying to contribute. If you don't like this splash screen I would rather not hear your opinion...but if you like it please let me know.
Important
If you have never flashed anything (hard-spl, rom, radio, etc) on your phone STOP NOW and start reading this thread! If you don't know what you are doing you could ruin your phone. Of course...if you know what you are doing then you know flashing a splash screen is safe.
Directions Via ActiveSync
1. Download the Krook6023_Splash.zip file (located at the bottom of this post) and unzip it to your computer.
2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!!
3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC.
4. Run the Custom_RUU.exe from the Krook6023_Splash folder.
5. When the process is complete the phone will restart and you are done!!
Of course if you know how...you could always flash this with your memory card as well...enjoy!!

[Help]Optimus 3D always restarting when shutting down.

When I try to turn off my Optimus 3D P920, it always restarts instead of shutting down.
I try to shut down either by holding the power button and selecting Power off from the menu, or using an app like Quick Boot. Always restarting.
This happened after upgrading from official 2.3.5 to official ICS.
One thing I noticed after the upgrade: immediately after the phone turns on, the LG logo changed(the one that appeares before the bootanimation). Before the upgrade it was red like in this image

Now, when the phone boots, it looks like fastboot
The only way I managed to actually turn the phone off is to enter TWRP recovery and select Shutdown from there.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

I just found out that this is a bug of using non-stock(wkpark's) bootloader. Finally found a way to flash stock bootloader/recovery using this tool - http://d-h.st/24C
The downside is that i lost TWRP. Well, I made a backup before, and if I ever need recovery I will reflash it. I prefer being able to turn the phone off normally.
P.S. The phone still has the fastboot look when it boots, it doesn't really bother me though, it might just be the way it is after ICS upgrade.

now my phone is dead
my device is one plus 6T

Did you actually boot into download mode or did you just try to get MSM Download Tools to work in fast boot mode? If that's the case, you need to do a full power off (hold the power button for up to 30-45 seconds) and then hold Power+Volume Up until you hear your phone connect to your PC (the screen will still be black though.) Then, MSMDownloadTools should detect the phone.
Unrelated but you should have posted this into the "OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers' board instead of the 'Guide, News & Discussion' board.

Get out of fastboot mode (?) without power key

I have a RED hydrogen ONE and a google pixel 7. I dont really know a lot about android stuff outside the basic (or windows).
My Hydrogen's power key is broken and ther isnt a place where I can fix the phone. When I try to boot the phone (plug it in and hold vol. down key) a screen pops up that say fastboot mode, but to select any option I need to use the power key (which I cant). I really want to boot this phone,, is there any way
OTHER DETAILS:
Not 100% sure if I had turned USB debugging on before phone died
I have a Windows 10 pc
Please try to keep the conversation basic, I just stumbled onto this site, and everyone is saying stuff i dont even understand lmao i just want to boot my phone
The phone has a usbc port, and my laptop also has one with thunderbolt 3
I already tried downloading SDK tools (even though i dont really know what it does) and with cmd run the command" fastboot devices ", and I get no result. (got this method from this video
)
