when you do a cold boot (hard reset) you have to
1. Power off the phone. Remove and re-insert the battery to make sure.
2. Press and hold the middle of the Volume button (so that both + and - are pushed down) and the Camera button. While holding these button also press the Power button.
3. Wait until the screen shows "Cold Boot" then release the Power button only.
4. Keep holding the middle of Volume and Camera buttons pressed until the Welcome screen appears.
This may require some fingering to get it right. If you don't get it right you may accidently enter the emergency download mode.
If this doesn't work you can use the download mode to deploy a NoDo rom that might be available for you phone.

I have a problem whit my Raphael.
When I try to boot doesn't appers nothing...
I push Power + vol down + soft reset (soft reset try to hold down and just press) but the tricol screen doesn't appears!
Is there another way to send the phone in boot loader, maybe another combination of button or a cab file?
thanks so much
You shouldn't need the power button; you can always try holding volume down and then using a soft reset application. Or, shut the phone down (long press power and ok; pull the battery then put it back in; use xda shutdown...., there are many methods), then hold volume down and press power. It should go straight to bootloader. Make sure you hold volume down until the tricolor screen appears.
If none of that works, do a hard reset, then go into bootloader.
Thanx for your suggestions, but my phone doesn't load anyway...
I suppose is vol down button that not respons, maybe is broke, I don't know...
there's no a cab file for emulate the bootloader screen?
I think the only other way to get into bootloader is to do it over usb with an ruu (rom upgrader). I almost never flash that way, and couldn't really tell you how it works. Theres a file in the ruu's called enterbootloader.exe-I guess it sends the device into bootloader. There are some threads out there on hacking ruu's, you could try looking them up.
It sounds like your vol down button is effed. So, you can't hard reset, either?
Tnx, I solve the problem like you described.
I launched the RUU.exe and phone goes into bootloader automatically
Thanks for your suggestions
How can you get to the bootloader screen to find out if the phone is s-on or s-off?
I have been trying to hold volume down while the phone powers on and nothing seems to work.
All advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Try holding volume down button and then select to restart your phone (in the power prompt). Worked for me.

You follow the steps you would in order to Perform a factory reset using the phone buttons
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER
button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release
the VOLUME DOWN button.
The details should now be listed on the top line...
Got it, that worked.
That definitely worked well. Here is my screen.
No need to pull the battery, just turn off Fast Boot (in Settings -> Power) before you shut down the phone. You can re-enable it afterwards of course.

you lucky one
you can root it with Superoneclick root
After trying to flash a TBO calendar/calculator inverted app I rebooted from recovery only to now be stuck in a bootloop. The only thing the phone will do is begin to reboot itself if I press all three buttons to "hard restart". (power+vol up+vol dwn). Tried using adb/fastboot to reboot into recovery or bootloader but I don't think that the phone is far enough into the boot process to be recognized by adb/fastboot because typing adb reboot-bootloader just returns "waiting on devices". I have also tried to use power+ vol dwn combo to reboot to bootloader. I have noticed that this only works for stock and other certain ROM's. It's a hit and miss as to why this occurs.
So right now I am stuck in a perpetual bootloop with no way to get to recovery or bootloader. I don't know of any other way of getting into recovery to restore a nanroid. Any one have a good suggestion? Please!
The combination of power + volume up (for like 10 or so seconds) will force a reboot. As SOON as it reboots you just need to hold volume down to get into bootloader.

I'm having the same exact problem, I figured out the volume up + power, turns the phone back on in a hardboot. But, exactly how long do you need to hold the volume down button for once it's rebooting?? I just got a replacement phone on 9/24, my previous phone had no problem with this & had the option of fast boot in the settings. Just rebooting my phone takes FOREVER to turn on (or so it seems in comparison). Any idea how or why this is now? Is it due to an update, can I uninstall the update to go back to a fast start setting?? Thanks!!

When you hold the volume down button are you also holding the power button? You need to use volume up + power to restart. Then, when it restarts, immediately hold volume down without letting up on the power button. Needs to be volume down + power to boot into hboot. As for now long do you hold it, until it boots to hboot.
Thanks for the info...
Thanks for more details I'm pretty sure I did let up on the power button thinking it was keeping it from loading. I'll try this out now!!!
full stock, unrooted, GT-P5110
... connect to odin (3.12 PC)-> uncheck auto reboot -> install twrp -> PASS -> unplug cable from usb
but all I seem to be able to do is reboot into system.
I :-
hold power button for 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 sec.... trying to just turn it off (instead of reboot)
hold vol down + power button,
hold power button + tap volume down,
just hold vol down,
tap power button (does nothing), only long press restarts.
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + tap pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + hold pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down on its own
search forum
pull hair out
type this
each time reinstalling twrp
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks
To reboot to recovery you need to hold volume UP + power.

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.
Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

I've given up, for now, tried every combination I could think... I have a sneaky feeling it must be rooted first. It is the only thing I haven't tried doing.

I am currently doing just that! Using the files from autoroot . chainfire . eu (can not post links yet haha) . I will let you know how it went!
UPDATE:
It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!
Sup, just had this problem like 30 minutes ago lol, and then I said to myself "would that even work?..." and guess what, it worked!
I guess you want to know how to unbrick it lol, here's how + ur welcome + i bet you thought your phone bricked lol
Press down vol- + power until it powers on and keep on holding down, as you can see it keeps on rebooting as long as u keep on pressing down the buttons, now we have to get in download mode, its kinda tricky tho -
First put the usb into the charger BUT not completely, halfway. Now press vol- + power and hold until it restarts AND as soon as the screen goes black
1- completely connect the USB
2- release the power button (dont release the vol - button) and at the same time press the vol+ button
Thats it, you should've booted into download mode - if it didnt work and the screen went green and crashed, keep on trying and do it as quickly as you can. If you cant pull it off, ask me. at least your phone isn't bricked, it's only tricky to fix it.
Once you're in dowload mode, use EFTSU flash tool and flash it with your firmware version (you can find it in etsu . com)
You can also flash it with ODIN and the non-modified recovery image, or just factory reset it with the original ROM and start again.
and this time around be careful trynna twrp flash, me too ofc, i wont even do it anymore, i was just messing around lol
