[HELP] STUCK entering nvflash recovery mode

i'm not flash any rom/kernel etc.
i'm only play with power and volume button.
and then my xoom stuck at "entering nvflash recovery mode".
my,question,how exit thaht mode?
i can't adb cause my pc not recognise my xoom.
please,help me to figure out.
thankyou
*PS:-my xoom is m600 [wifi-3g/verizon-usa version]
can you reboot the device? if yes does it stuck on reboot without pressing buttons?
if you cant turn of the device with the power button just press power + vol up at the same time for 3 sec
now it should turn off
this may help you
Here is how I was able to get into different booting modes.
1. Power down
2. Power up and wait for the M sign to show up
3. Press volume down, nvFlash will display, press volume down again, RSD mode will display, press volume down again, fastboot mode will display.
4. Press volume up to select fastboot
5. Go ahead and flash the kernel that you like to restore
can you change the booting mode by pressing vol down?

thanks for your quick response..
yes,i can reboot/powerr off by power+vol UP.
but if only press power button to turn off ,nothing happens.
EDIT:-try this method and no success.
I don't know if I got something wrong up there, but since you didn't flash anything and were just playing around with vol up/down, you should not have to flash anything...
What happens if you just reset your xoom by holding vol up + power for 3 seconds and after that just wait? Imo your xoom should just boot back into android and everything should be fine...
he don´t has to flash something
i am not sure if he wasnt able to turn of the device... and reboot it or something else...
the points for flashing r optional - if he wants to change the kernel or something

Try holding Vol up + PWR for 3 seconds and release, you should see the Motorola logo.
Can you tell us what happened before the xoom went off, or if you have loaded a custom ROM some time ago.

Let the battery go all the way down. Then put it on charge and try to boot-up.
Can you get into fastboot mode? If so, you should be able to reboot into your OS.

Phone stuck in bootloop, can't boot into fastboot or recovery, Please help

After trying to flash a TBO calendar/calculator inverted app I rebooted from recovery only to now be stuck in a bootloop. The only thing the phone will do is begin to reboot itself if I press all three buttons to "hard restart". (power+vol up+vol dwn). Tried using adb/fastboot to reboot into recovery or bootloader but I don't think that the phone is far enough into the boot process to be recognized by adb/fastboot because typing adb reboot-bootloader just returns "waiting on devices". I have also tried to use power+ vol dwn combo to reboot to bootloader. I have noticed that this only works for stock and other certain ROM's. It's a hit and miss as to why this occurs.
So right now I am stuck in a perpetual bootloop with no way to get to recovery or bootloader. I don't know of any other way of getting into recovery to restore a nanroid. Any one have a good suggestion? Please!
The combination of power + volume up (for like 10 or so seconds) will force a reboot. As SOON as it reboots you just need to hold volume down to get into bootloader.

I'm having the same exact problem, I figured out the volume up + power, turns the phone back on in a hardboot. But, exactly how long do you need to hold the volume down button for once it's rebooting?? I just got a replacement phone on 9/24, my previous phone had no problem with this & had the option of fast boot in the settings. Just rebooting my phone takes FOREVER to turn on (or so it seems in comparison). Any idea how or why this is now? Is it due to an update, can I uninstall the update to go back to a fast start setting?? Thanks!!

When you hold the volume down button are you also holding the power button? You need to use volume up + power to restart. Then, when it restarts, immediately hold volume down without letting up on the power button. Needs to be volume down + power to boot into hboot. As for now long do you hold it, until it boots to hboot.
Thanks for the info...
Thanks for more details I'm pretty sure I did let up on the power button thinking it was keeping it from loading. I'll try this out now!!!

hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + hold pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down on its own
search forum
pull hair out

To reboot to recovery you need to hold volume UP + power.

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.
Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

I've given up, for now, tried every combination I could think... I have a sneaky feeling it must be rooted first. It is the only thing I haven't tried doing.
I am now trying to root it first

I am currently doing just that! Using the files from autoroot . chainfire . eu (can not post links yet haha) . I will let you know how it went!
UPDATE:
It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!

Bootloop, no Recovery, no Download

Hello,
sorry that I have to bother you with this.
I had a S6 (G920F) with Maniacx Ressurection Remix Unofficial OREO 6.10 , with Magisk 7.10 and TWRP 3.2.1 running.
Because of a problem with calls, I flashed a .zip that fixed the problem before (it's CallAudioFix.zip in that thread – can't find it right now, but I can look for it later if it's any help). That sent my phone into a bootloop.
My problem is that I can't boot into Recovery or Download mode. Windows (in a VirtualBox) finds a SAMSUNG_Android device per USB, but ODIN can't find it (doesn't show anything under ID:COM). ADB in my terminal finds the phone, but it shows it as unauthorized, so I can't use it, either.
I appreciate any help – thanks in advance!

Thanks for your tip, didn't work for me, sadly. If I press and hold the combination for the recovery, I get back into my bootloop. If I press the combination for download mode, nothing happens until I hold it for too long and trigger the battery disconnect (volume down + power).

I'll rather avoid trying to remove the battery for that.
If I hold all buttons, I can only get the "Samsung S6" screen to flash for a second before it goes off and on again (tried for a minute as you suggested).
I tried holding the combos before the kernel screen, directly at it and holding it for a minute, but it only sends me back to the bootloop. Also, I don't get any text on the kernel screen.
Guess I have to keep trying around for a bit...
Try after that flash appears for second to press combo fast i remember that worked for me at same state of bootloop

Samsung Galaxy a40 stuck on "powered by android" screen

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy A40 and yesterday I tried to flash LineageOS (I already have experience flashing gsi's), but when i rebooted the system, it just stuck on the "Powered by Android" screen.
It's not even rebooting, it just stays on that screen until the battery dies. So I've tried to let the battery drain and then booting into download mode after charging it a bit by pressing Vol Up + Vol Down and then plugging it into pc, but for some reason it just won't boot into download mode. What can I do now without having to risk booting into that screen and having to wait another full day again?
Hi,
You probably have to flash the latest firmware for your device.
If the phone freeze on the powered by android screen you can press and hold volume down + power and the phone will force reboot.
To reach download mode you can try this :
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Power Key for a while
Release all key when Samsung logo appears then you will see Android System Recovery
Select Reboot to Bootloader
Use Power key to Confirm

I'd prefer not to boot it up now bc it's turned off, if i have to I'll try. But, is there a way to boot it into download mode when it's already turned off?

The easiest step is the keys but look like it doesnt work for you.
You should try to boot with different key combination get past the bootscreen, otherwise i suggest you to got to a repair center if you can't
