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

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've held the vol down and the power button, for as long as 10 minutes. The phone does nothing. I release them and the phone starts normally. The touch buttons at the bottom blink 4 - 5 times, and that is all that happens.
What is going wrong here? I am on 1.85. No root, no mods etc.

In power settings uncheck fastboot and then try again.

No change. Touch buttons do not blink, but the phone simple never starts up until I release them.
Start by holding the volume down button in, then the power button. After the the soft lights blink a few times & the screen goes black, immediately release the power button "only" while still holding in the volume down key. If I had to guess your not releasing the power button.

I was going to say something similar. You don't even have to hold the power button that long (until the softkeys blink), just 3 seconds or so. Then release the power button but NOT the volume down button. Keep holding vol down until you are in bootloader. This, and make sure "fast boot" is unchecked in Settings>Power as previously mentioned also.
Hey,
i have managed to brick my phone :\
ive flashed the Kingcobra 1.5 on top of 1.4.1
when i rebooted, got my screnn stuck on the "this build is for development...."
cant get the adb to do nothing cuz it says ** daemoon stil not running error **
(the phone is still on, no way to turn it off)
when im pressing the VOL down & power (or just power for 10 sec) alltogether i cant reach the fastboot screen...
i've waited for the battery to fully drain, charged it once again without powering it on, and then using the adb
at the beginning when i tried to erase c
sorry for the misspelled words im kinda nervous :\
anyone can help me? any more info i get give..?
THANKS!
EDIT: attached the status that i have right now on my phone
Just press and hold the power button for 15 seconds or so. It should power off. Then press n hold vol - and power. Only hold the power button for 2-3 seconds, then release it while still holding vol -

10x, newbie mistake
u save me from RUU
THANKS ALOT!
No problem....u can add [RESOLVED] to thread title if u like glad it worked out for ya.:beer:
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.
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".
