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 use fastboot command from bootloader.

im not good at this, what do you mean?

When you boot the phone using vol down + power it boots to the bootloader ( a screen with some info about your device and a menu) this is where you enter fastboot commands or run .bat files.
Your phone should indicate whether or not you phone is connected via USB in the upper part of the screen.

You mean, you can't get into Recovery mode? Because Bootloader mode IS the "fastboot" mode..
You can go into Recovery mode, by turning the phone off, then holding the Power button & the Vol Down at the same time.
Then use the volume buttons to scroll to "Recovery" and press Power button to select.
If your Recovery is working as it should, it will take you there..
If not, you can reflash a stock Recovery or Custom Recovery..

Bootloader mode with back button ONLY

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.

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.

Hold power, volume down and volume up at the same time to boot to fastboot. Select recovery. When the android with the triangle shows up, hold power and press and release volume up while still holding power

Trouble with fastboot

Hi all.When i turn on my phone in fastboot mode,it only tries to reinstall the firmware update to b180 version. I have tried to solve the problem by deleting the dload folder but nothing changes and i am forced to reboot anytime. So i have no chance to unlock the bootloader and root my phone. Is there a way to fix such problem? Thanx in advance for the attention.

Then you are not in fastboot mode but in Recovery Mode.
In Fastboot mode B 180 is not installed but in recovery mode
In Fastboot mode, you can only unlock the bootloader and IMG Files flash
Boot your Mate 8 normal or can you Power off?

Power it on keeping pressing vol - with your phone plugged into your PC.
