i power on while holding down the volume down rocker and pressing track pad am i doing it right? instead of hbott to see if i permarooted correctly it goes into safe mode from this procedure. update : it will only boot into safe mode now
No trackpad, just volume down and power. And hold them both until it turns on.
Maybe you should have posted this in the Q and A thread. It was right under this General thread..............hmmmmmm

I tried to turn off the phone by by pressing the power button for 10 sec as directed in the guide on the development section. But all that did was restart the phone. So i turned it off with the regular method then tried to get into fastboot with power+vol down; But all the phone did was just boot normally to the stock ROM.
PS. I am trying to unlock the bootloader to install costum roms.
Thanks for helping
Go to settings > power > make sure "fast boot" is unchecked

Hope this helps!
Try that
I like to power down the phone then hold the decrease volume rocker then power on the phone. I've never run into any issues so this a pretty foolproof methodology in my experience.

Have You Tried POWER And VOLUME UP Buttons For At Least 10 Seconds? This Should Be Work.
I'm trying volume up, home, and power. No luck. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Got it. Volume up and down at the same time, and the power button. I kept them held down and the phone just kept intermittently vibrating. I had to let off the buttons after the first vibration.
Power on while holding down BOTH volume buttons when NOT plugged into the computer USB (because this is also the way to get into download mode).

Had this problem too when it would just vibrate the whole time. good thing I learned the differences.

I tried this (both volume buttons and power without usb), but it just boots normally. CWM doesnt come up. I'm stuck in a boot loop right now so I can't use my phone unless I can get into CWM.

Pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold vol - & vol + and power until the 'samsung' logo appears. Then release all. I use two fingers to hold both volume buttons and then my thumb for the power button. I've heard of people thinking they are capable of holding both volume buttons with one finger lol and they usually have issues. This is how you get into recovery regardless of whether you have cwm or factory recovery.

My HOX is just rebooting over and over I did boot loader unlock with the one all in one app and then flashed a kernel for CM10. I got the boot.img from the zip file as the directions said but now it just boots to HTC screen with red letters then reboots again.
If I could get it to power off and then boot to recovery I could try to flash another ROM or if I could boot to Hboot could try another kernel flash but nothing I do seem to make any difference it just keeps rebooting to HTC screen with red letters saying this is for development purposes.
I tried holding the down volume and power to reset it but does not work tried holding up volume and power to get to Hboot but nothing changes. As long as I hold down the power button it says off but one I let go it comes back on after a few second but volume up does nothing.
Any suggestions?
I got into recovery finally hold down just the volume down with out pressing power
Glad you got it sorted out. For the future, and for benefit of other users, I point out the following: Instances of not being able to get into bootloader are almost always just not knowing the proper button sequence.
If the phone is stuck with screen on, hold and press the power button for 5 seconds or so, until the capacity button flash, then the screen turns off (this should work in virtually all circumstances as long as the screen is on). The moment the screen goes dark, press and hold volume down, and don't let go until the white bootloader screen comes up.
If the phone is "stuck" on, you might be able to press and hold vol down before, or the same time you press power button (then as described above, keep holding vol down until hboot comes up). But if the phone is booted, the timing of this method can be a bit tricky. Press it too soon, and it has the effect of making the volume go down, then to vibrate, instead of the desired effect. Press it too late, and it will probably boot into Safe Mode. But as long as you start holding vol down when the screen is black (before the white HTC boot splash) you should have it right.
If the phone is fully powered off, press volume down, keep holding it. Press the power button for about 3 seconds (don't need to hold it until the capacitive buttons flash). Then release power, don't release vol down yet, until the white bootloader screen comes up. This will only work if "Fast boot" is not selected in Settings>Power.
Many people seem to think you press and release the power button and vol down a the same time, which will only cause you to boot normally, or in Safe Mode, or in your case the boot splash.
Sorry if I am duplicating but couldn't find it anywhere.

Bootloader = power + volume down.
Select recovery from bootloader.

Or if it's off, just press power and release and right away press and hold volume down until it boots into bootloader.

The bootloader button combo, while technically correct, is a bit incomplete, and in my opinion one of the primary reasons folks have trouble getting into bootloader (as it gets described this way quite often). It leads some people into believing you are supposed to press both simultaneously, and release them, which will absolutely not get you into bootloader.
What exactly works and doesn't work varies a bit by the condition: phone is fully booted, stuck on boot screen, off, "Fast boot" is selected in Settings>Power on Sense ROMs (the deep sleep power function, not the adb/fastboot function). But the following always works, AFAIK:
Hold down the power button until the capacitive buttons flash several times and the phone powers off. While the screen is off, press and hold the vol down button. DO NOT let go of vol down until the white bootloader screen comes up. If the phone boots normally, or boots into SAFE MODE (looks like normal boot, but SAFE MODE in all 4 corners of the screen, and no 3rd party apps) then you pressed the vol down button too late. You can actually press vol down during, or even before pressing the power button. But the important thing, is NOT to let go of vol down until you get into bootloader.
For recovery, there is no button combo that boots the phone directly into recovery. You must select it from bootloader, or an alternate means (such as fastboot command). But there is not button combo for recovery as there is on some other phones.
Vol UP and power puts the phone in Qualcomm download mode, which I do not believe has any useful application for us users. So I would advise staying away from it.
Fastboot is disabled.
So I have two sensations, one started acting up with the volume button. One day I noticed the volume up button no longer respond, went to bootloader via volume down+power. Volume up still doesnt's work, volume down moves the cursor "up" and power still work in bootloader.
Some days later, I can't get into bootloader anymore, volume down and power just normal boots, volume up and power normal boots as well. At this point, to get into bootloader I have to use 4ext app. So i get into bootloader, volume up still doesnt work, volume down still move cursor up, and now power button doesn't work!! SO i have to take out the battery to turn off the phone (in bootloader). In normal android, power button still works, just not volume up.
So I took apart both phones and swapped the volume button from each one. Suddenly I can use the volume again on both phones, can boot into bootloader OK.
Like a week later, the problem started happening again to the other phone with the "bad" volume button (including the power button, which I did not switch)
First phone is running venom 2.00, second phone is running ARHD 7.3
Anyone has ANY idea what's going on?
