Can anyone tell me how to get into fastboot or bootloader mode?
I've tried Power + Vol down but still no luck.
I am running 1.73 and it is rooted..
Thanks..

Go to Settings -> Power and disable Fastboot
Then reboot while holding Vold down and it should bring you to the bootloader. You should hold vol down until it actually gets there.

You can't. Either your power button needs to be working or you phone needs to actually boot up to send it into recovery
i can get the phone to boot...i just cant get into recovery
i can get to the bootloader screen i just cant select..recovery
What I meant by boot was to actually boot up the os. Not just make it to the bootloader.
so basically im ****ed??
Unless you get the power button to work you are stuck.
bump bump...anyone got any ideas!?!?!
adb reboot recovery ? Won't that work ?
Once you get into recovery you can use the bottom four buttons to navigate through recovery. If I am not mistaken Menu to scroll up, Home button to scroll down, Search to select and Back to go to the previous menu.
Anyways you can always flash from command line using fastboot.
When your power button is broke you can't scroll and select anything in fastboot. It freezes.
You can't adb reboot recovery if the phone doesn't boot up the os. Can't use any fastboot commands either cause its stuck.
He is screwed. Getting power button to work/unstick whatever you want to call it is only way.

If I am not mistaken he can boot into OS, He can go to bootloader but he just can't select Recovery because of the broken power button.
So using adb and fastboot shouldn't be a problem at all. As far CW recovery is concerned you can navigate without using power button as well

problem solved...i took the phone apart and cleaned the power button with alcohol..and it worked!!
For possible future use, you can install an app called Rebooter, which can boot your phone right into recovery.

Using the method of holding volume down and power, I can get to the recovery menu - but it automagically selects the RCK option and I get the dead droid with red triangle. Am I borked? I couldn't NvFlash since I was updated to the latest JB (thought it would fix things).
I'm not sure if I'm just doing things wrong, borked, or need to keep trying. Any advice is appreciated.

Can you still boot into Android, and are you rooted? This could be a chance to find out if mmcblk0p3 is also used on the TF700 for bootloader commands.

You have no opportunity to push vol down to get to the usb and then push vol up?

You have to hold vol down to get to the boot menu, but then use vol up to select the usb option and vol down to select. No matter how quickly I react by letting go of vol down, it automagically selects RCK. Unable to get to USB.

Not rooted, unfortunately. I hadn't heard of voodoo root and figured it would be just as easy to root after the upgrade to JB. So I'm actually trying to root now. I'm trying to get CWM on. Hoping I can do so through command prompt (i.e. adb and fastboot.exe in windows 7 cmd prompt) but adb so far hasn't recognized my device.
Even using adb reboot bootloader it still automatically is selecting the RCK. What the f.....

Try volume up instead of volume down to select or to boot into recovery (button vol- and vol+ are reversed).

Hi all!
Ultra-NOOB question here! I just acquired my One S, rooted it with the all-in-one toolkit and installed a recovery.
Now, which keys do I have to press to enter the recovery from the shutted down phone? And when? Does fastboot need to be turned off?
Til now I had to connect to my pc and adb reboot recovery...
Thanks!

disable fastboot
turn your mobile off
press powerbutton and volume down button and keep it pressed till the bootloader turns on.
navigate with the volume buttons to "recovery" and press the powerbutton here you go

Thaaank you very much!
Hey guys !
We always say we must press VOL-, Vol+ and power button to boot on bootloader mode.
For me, i can boot in bootloader mode normally, and even if i press VOL- and Power, without vol+, it boots the bootloader.
I'm on stock Lollipop rom with lp radio, bootloader and ElementalX 2.03 kernel.
Made a youtube video
And you, can you boot the bootloader only using VOL- button ?
Yup
It was always vol down+power...

Yep, lol
Volume down boots into the bootloader and both volume keys boot to the secondary bootloader.
hello i m to unlock oem from adb and reboot tablet but it won't start only restart and go to boot mode volum down not working to choose fastboot
If english isn't your main language then use google translate and I'll try my best to understand.
Anyway, does adb recognize your device? Does adb devices returns devices attached and a serial number?
If so then try adb reboot bootloader
Or try manually booting with volume buttons, usually it's (Volume Up + Power) combination, on some devices it's (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power) combination.
You have to enable USB debugging and oem unlock in settings for any of this to work.
After successful booting to fastboot. Use fastboot oem unlock for older devices or fastboot flashing unlock for newer devices.
Then use fastboot reboot after successful unlocking. Note: Most devices use prompt to confirm bootloader unlocking which in turn requires the user to select "yes" with volume buttons.
If your device doesn't boot to bootloader and you have oem unlock and usb debugging on and tried all of the above. Then most likely your device bootloader cannot be unlocked, which explains why you can't find your device in XDA forums.
I did all of the above, but after unlocking oem, this is what the picture became
volumn down not working
I'm not following here, what exactly happened? Did you unlock the bootloader?
yes I unlocked the bootloader but after fastboot reboot it does not turn on it reboots only as shown in the video
Try booting into fastboot again and using flashing unlock_critical
I can not enter the fastboot mod because it does not work for me volumn down
Is your device detected on your PC? Try adb reboot bootloader
after unlocking oem, the tablet does not turn on and does not see the pc
Try connecting the device to your PC while pressing volume button to boot to bootloader. If it still doesn't boot then you can only fix the volume button.
Can you tell me what's your device model?
my model is x101 china model tablet .
boot only working volumn up
I can not choose boot mode
I never saw a bootloop after unlocking bootloader before. Maybe you modified your device in anyway before doing this? Like one click root apps or anything whatsoever?
If you can get volume down to work then you should be fine. Also try power button too pressing it should have the same effect as volume down.
I haven't modified anything. only the power button does not work only the volume up and the volume down is not pressed Please help me how to recovery system

Is your device battery removable? If so, remove it and wait 5 minuets and connect your device to your PC while pressing volume button to boot into bootloader.
If not then completely discharge your phone and wait for 24 hours. and then try connecting it to your PC while pressing volume button to boot into bootloader.

I discharged it but still nothing fixed
Hence the reason not buy cheap Chinese products. You can only take it to a service center to fix the volume down button.
