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.

I know it's Power + Vol Down while booting up to get to the BL, but the soft buttons blink 6 times and then nothing happens.
Then i let go of the buttons, try it again, and nothing happens.
SOmetimes holding Power+volDown works, sometimes it doesnt.
What am i missing here
a program called quickboot. Only works for rooted phones
Or
connect phone to computer
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot bootloader
It's very iffy for me, the best is to use a short cut like quick boot or have an extended power menu. But if you must, power down your device, hold volume down and power for 5 seconds (I countdown like the shuttle is taking off lol) then on 5 release power but hold volume down... Should pop up every time

yea i've been using adb, but that's a hassle when im not at home
i guess i'll be giving the app a shot, but what am i doing wrong with the key presses?
should i do it with the phone off?
while rebooting?
from the OS?

how i do it and what i originally read to be the correct button combination is hold down power and volume down for 5 seconds, then release power button while holding volume. should work.

Turn off fastboot in power settings, if it's on when you power off the phone its like sleep, it's not actually off and that would be why it's not working for you.

If you are okay with flashing a better, faster rom compared to stock, CleanROM has this feature from the power menu. Works flawlessly.
Before that, I used adb commands.
I hold down the vol down button, then press and hold the power button for about 2 sec, continuing to hold down the vol down button until you are in the bootloader.
So the vol down button is the trigger for the bootloader.
And you have to have fastboot turned off.

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.
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".
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.

Hi, I ran into an issue today.
Upgraded the tablet this morning, update seemed to go fine. I then went through with the SD card format to integrate it.
When I next checked the tablet, it was off. It now won't boot.
I tried holding volume up, down, both at the same time with power, but nothing.
when plugged into the computer via usb, holding volume down+up and power will cause the usb connection sound to happen, but nothing seems to happen on the tablet itself.
can anyone help?
Have you pressed the power button alone for 10-20 seconds?
For the boatloader mode, you need to hold down volume and then tap and release the power button while continuing to hold volume down.
