[Q] how to enter to recovery?

what buttons to press? i cant enter. i googled... but i cant still. i always have problems with that;/

Which phone? I guess one of the two in your sig?

Are you talking about entering bootloader to get into recovery? Should just have to hold down the down volume button and hold down the power button when the phones off. If you have android phone I believe you'll have to have fastboot off before this will work.

Im talking about LG OPTIMUS 3D. I i have quick boots, but it loads like normal. I will try vol down and power. But i know it wont work. Maybe i need to press for some sec and then release?

It's a combination of volume power and home.

Yeah hold both power and volume down for around 10 seconds until it starts vibrating, then release.

i had to press vol down + power until LG logo comes and then release. thanks

[Q] Can't get into fastboot with power+vol down

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

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.

Cant enter bootloader S3

I cant enter bootloader after i turn off my bricked htc one s using 2.2.1 TWRP.i try to hold powerkey+volume -.the soft key is blinking for second after that my phone screen flashed like a old tv.what happened?what should i do?thanks

Try pressing the power button only and wait for the soft keys to flash then wait several seconds and release. Now press the power button and the volume down rocker until the bootloader shows.

I also have the old TV bug
I found that when the phone is off, if you hold down the power and vol down keys, and then start pressing the power button on and off, it will take you to the bootloader. Then you can release.

[Q] Volume Down + Power button doesn't work

Pretty self explanatory post. I'm trying to boot my phone into bootloader mode, but holding power and volume down just reboots it normally.
I have a AT&T HTC One X. Any ideas?

It's a timing issue. There are two ways you can do it.
While device is switched on
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding them together), the button lights will start to flash, they'll stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until the phone boots into the bootloader.
While the device is switched off
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding them together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until the phone boots into the bootloader.
It's very important to not let go of the power button until you reach the bootloader with either of those methods.

I learned that the hard way. Lol

This is almost always a matter of pilot error. Unless the phone is bricked, or an actual physical malfunction of the vol button, it will always be able to go to bootloader. Just follow timmaaa's suggestion above. The primary error, is that folks don't realize you are supposed to let go of the power button but keep holding vol down. Understandable, since the usual direction is just to "press power and vol down".

[Q] AT&T HTC One X Unlock bootloader

Hi guys ... I am new in this ..... How can i unlock bootloader of HTC one X (AT&T) .....?? Is it safe ??

Bootloader details required. To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.
With phone powered on
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
With phone powered off
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
Please post the first five lines.
