Booting to fastboot - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
After doing a factory reset, I disabled root in SuperSU. Upon restarting, the device refuses to boot and is stuck on booting animation.
I was trying to get into fastboot but had no success yet.
Can anyone help me with this?
Regards,

Are you trying to get into the boot loader ? OR the recovery? There is no such thing as getting into fast boot directly. You boot into the boot loader then typically can launch the fast boot application from your PC from there.
Root has nothing to do with the boot loader.
Make sure your holding down the power down button then power on. This will take you into the boot loader. From there you can select go into Fast Boot Protocol and should trigger the driver in your PC to connect the device (if it has not already - typically its already established). If in your device manager (PC) there is an exclamation then that means your driver for fastboot is hosed. Here are some instructions on how to fix them (scroll down):

Hold down the POWER button to power off the device, then hold VOLUME DOWN and tap POWER (don't hold it). The device should boot into the bootloader, at which point you can use VOLUME and POWER to select and boot into fastboot mode.

Thank you very much.

[Q] Stuck on fastboot with broken pwr button

Hi I have the following problem: after I flash Cannibal open touch recovery I could not flash any .zip file so I decided that I go back to CWM touch so I restarted my phone. Phone booted into fastboot mode with the following message no boot or recovery IMG so I decided to flash recovery with fastboot. I opened the folder with fastboot command flash_recovery connect the phone to usb but the command line always showed waiting for device. I unplugged the phone and tried to press the volume keys but nothing happened as if it freezes. I pulled the battery and try it again but no response. I cant connect phone to odin because it has broken power button and after I insert the battery it always turn on itself. Please advise me what to do thank you.
Seems your drivers have gone corrupt. Try a different system and use Nexus Root Toolkit.
I tried this option but without success. Phone does not respond to anything. No volume up or volume down. It´s just stucked on bootloader.
This link says that if you get <waiting for device> , then fastboot is not configured properly. Check out the link over here.
You may also try this command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-crespo.img" to boot into recovery without installing it.
no hope
The reason you cannot navigate in fastboot/bootloader is that your powerswitch is probably stuck in the "on position"...does your device immediately power on when battery is inserted?
The way i solved this a few months ago was to completly remove my powerswitch from the board power my device on..use quickboot to enter fastboot menu and input commands...
Also completely removing your power button makes powering on your nexus alot more complicated.
what i did was go to download mode (holding vol+ and -) and pluging phone in..this takes you to download mode
then you need to get a copy of a boatloader file to flash via odin which will reset your phone and power it on...pm me if interested i can provide you with files necessary

Nexus 5 Bootloop + No Power Button + Locked Bootloader + NO ADB -- Recover Data

Hey guys, so I have this dilemma on my hands. One of my friends has a Nexus 5 that has a power button issue. It seemed like a stuck power button, because even cleaning it did not solve the issue. So I removed the power button, and it finally turned on. However, it's now stuck in a Google logo bootloop.
The Objective:
To recover all data on the device. This is a must.
The Obstacles:
- No physical power button, but I can place a pair of tweezers on the terminals on the board to simulate a power button press.
- Bootloader is locked (I can unlock it, but that erases all data on the phone).
- Cannot enter proper stock recovery (I get a "no command" error when I do; I've tried all button combinations afterwards, including the ones from HERE, but to no avail).
- USB debugging was not enabled on the phone when booting normally, so even though the phone is recognized by my PC, I cannot do anything using ADB.
- Fastboot mode is the only successful mode I can reach on the phone.
The Final Question:
Does anyone know how I can successfully recover all the data on the phone using ADB or any other method, having the above obstacles?
Thanks in advance.
If you can reach fastboot without any problem, you can try to boot a custom recovery image using the following command : fastboot boot recovery yourcustomrecovery.img
(if you dont have a custom recovery, you need to flash one with : fastboot flash recovery yourcustomrecovery.img)
It will boot in recovery mode and, I hope, allow you to have an adb access and recover your data.
edit : since your bootloader is locked, i guess this won't work.

I bit of a trick. Try 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img' but instead of kernel flash twrp. After flash do a 'fastboot reboot'. It will boot recovery. Via twrp the pc will recognize phone as a media storage. You will not erase any data

Thanks for the response, but the bootloader has to be unlocked for that to work, and while I can do that, it will wipe the data I need.

Unlock the bootloader and reflash the latest stock ROM.
I can't going to recovery mode. when I push volume an powerbit restart and freeze on Google logo.
You need to get into fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader and flash a stock ROM.

I have this same problem, I am a pretty technical guy. I can get into fastboot, but the flashing always fails. Having the same problem bootlooping at the android loading animation. (Not the common power button issue)
edit: I have unlocked the boot-loader as well

CANNOT enter recovery mode proper

The issue: When booting I get the "bad key" boot text which hangs for about 10 seconds before going to splash.
When doing power button + volume up, the bad key hangs for so long that holding down power button just SHUTS THE PHONE OFF.
I can do power button + volume down to enter bootloader, and then enter recovery mode from there, but when I do that I get NO COMMAND
Ive also tried with adb
adb reboot recovery
same thing NO COMMAND
Everything that I google about NO COMMAND comes back with "oh just do power button + volume up duh" and each time I read that as a solution it makes me a little bit more angry.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e6/how-to/rooting-e6-surfna-t3965659
Ive been following this guide to root my moto e6 and everything has been fine so far, but im stuck trying to install magisk. Magisk manager has already been installed, and I believe I have installed magisk. But I cannot boot into proper recovery to use it.
About to give up, hopefully someone can help
installed a bootlogo following this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/boot-logo-moto-e5-stock-bad-key-removed-t3869259
to see if that would help. No change. Cant boot into recovery mode proper.

bad key and/or N/A is just the phone saying it has an unlocked bootloader.
NO COMMAND when entering Recovery, yes, google is right. When you see NO COMMAND, press and HOLD the power button and TAP the volume up key. You should see at the top, Android Recovery and a bunch of options below. If you don't see this, your recovery partition was probably modified/corrupt. Flash the original recovery.img from a stock rom. I don't think there's a working E6 TWRP recovery image yet.
If you still haven't figured this out I have a possible fix. I found that upon first installing the magisk_patched.img from the guide you linked, everything booted up fine and magisk and root were working. I however made the mistake of booting normally...somehow this affects the magisk boot function in the recovery and gives the no command screen. I just fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched.img again and booted straight into recovery and that fixed it again. Just make sure once you have root again to use a program that allows you to boot back into recovery again directly.

When I get to the Android Recovery which option do I choose?
I tried "Reboot system now" and Magisk was still not installed

Flashing TWRP without first flashing a vbmeta image with verity disabled rendered my Galaxy Note10 exynos unable to boot

Newbie here. Tried to download TWRP onto unrooted device (Galaxy Note10 Exynos d1) with Odin and now my phone is stuck on "downloading" screen. When I try to cancel (restart phone) it goes to the startup/booting screen for less than a second and then jumps back to "downloading". It says this at the top left corner of the screen:
recovery: Error validating footer (6) CUSTOM RECOVERY VBMETA N970F XXU1 ASG0. 24967245R
I am able to get into the custom OS installation screen (don't know what it's actually called but second picture) by letting the battery drain so that the phone turns off and then holding volume up + volume down key and plugging the phone into my laptop with USB.
The bootloader is unlocked. I went to https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote10.html and even there it says "Flashing TWRP without first flashing a vbmeta image with verity disabled will render your device unable to boot." Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Go first to the unlocking menu to check if your device is really unlocked, long press volume up, and see which the menu says.
If it is unlocked, then flash the vbmeta file provided, then try to boot to recovery and perform a factory reset.

Maybe you missed some essential part of the process, by unlocking your device through the Download menu option your data has to be erased, it's recommendable after to unlock the bootloader, to reboot again to system and check once the UBS debugging and OEM unlock options if they remain fine, from there you should reboot to download mode again, uncheck the Auto-reboot option within Odin, flash the vbmeta.tar and then flash the TWRP, if all till here goes well you should reboot manually to TWRP by powering off completely, pressing the three buttons, and just now, pressing the volume up + PWR key buttons till your device boots to TWRP.

The screenshots you uploaded some months ago, are the download screen, you, successfully did boot to, download mode doesn't have a useful menu, it's just a mode, so you can flash some things, using Odin. To boot to, use the same way you did it previously, usually, doing it manually, or if you are rooted, you can use other ways too.
