Bootloader mode with back button ONLY - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

[Q] Key combination to enter bootloader and recovery

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

Computer does not detect asus tablet in fastboot mode

New issue, I got it to install by switching through all of my usb ports and then rebooted it through cmd when it was finished. How do I boot into recovery now? I tried holding the power+volume up but it just vibrates and then never boots.

Power+volume down to enter the bootloader menu, then volume up to confirm "RCK".

Hi, you have to use volume down + power button with your phone plugged in the PC.

problem mtk6592

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.
