First of all power down the device, then you have two posibilities:
push volume up + power until the device boots up, this will boot you into a chinese recovery, where volume down serves to move between items, volume up to go back and the power button to select. The last entry serves to reboot and the eMMC one to factory reset. you can see this menu here.
push power for 3 seconds and wait for the screen to power up, then push power until the screen goes off, then push volume up ONLY until the device boots up again, here you will receive a menu where you can choose between normal boot, recovery (which shows up the typical android recovery) or fastboot, (which is not userspace)

My HOX is just rebooting over and over I did boot loader unlock with the one all in one app and then flashed a kernel for CM10. I got the boot.img from the zip file as the directions said but now it just boots to HTC screen with red letters then reboots again.
If I could get it to power off and then boot to recovery I could try to flash another ROM or if I could boot to Hboot could try another kernel flash but nothing I do seem to make any difference it just keeps rebooting to HTC screen with red letters saying this is for development purposes.
I tried holding the down volume and power to reset it but does not work tried holding up volume and power to get to Hboot but nothing changes. As long as I hold down the power button it says off but one I let go it comes back on after a few second but volume up does nothing.
Any suggestions?
I got into recovery finally hold down just the volume down with out pressing power
Glad you got it sorted out. For the future, and for benefit of other users, I point out the following: Instances of not being able to get into bootloader are almost always just not knowing the proper button sequence.
If the phone is stuck with screen on, hold and press the power button for 5 seconds or so, until the capacity button flash, then the screen turns off (this should work in virtually all circumstances as long as the screen is on). The moment the screen goes dark, press and hold volume down, and don't let go until the white bootloader screen comes up.
If the phone is "stuck" on, you might be able to press and hold vol down before, or the same time you press power button (then as described above, keep holding vol down until hboot comes up). But if the phone is booted, the timing of this method can be a bit tricky. Press it too soon, and it has the effect of making the volume go down, then to vibrate, instead of the desired effect. Press it too late, and it will probably boot into Safe Mode. But as long as you start holding vol down when the screen is black (before the white HTC boot splash) you should have it right.
If the phone is fully powered off, press volume down, keep holding it. Press the power button for about 3 seconds (don't need to hold it until the capacitive buttons flash). Then release power, don't release vol down yet, until the white bootloader screen comes up. This will only work if "Fast boot" is not selected in Settings>Power.
Many people seem to think you press and release the power button and vol down a the same time, which will only cause you to boot normally, or in Safe Mode, or in your case the boot splash.
Sorry if I am duplicating but couldn't find it anywhere.

Bootloader = power + volume down.
Select recovery from bootloader.

Or if it's off, just press power and release and right away press and hold volume down until it boots into bootloader.

The bootloader button combo, while technically correct, is a bit incomplete, and in my opinion one of the primary reasons folks have trouble getting into bootloader (as it gets described this way quite often). It leads some people into believing you are supposed to press both simultaneously, and release them, which will absolutely not get you into bootloader.
What exactly works and doesn't work varies a bit by the condition: phone is fully booted, stuck on boot screen, off, "Fast boot" is selected in Settings>Power on Sense ROMs (the deep sleep power function, not the adb/fastboot function). But the following always works, AFAIK:
Hold down the power button until the capacitive buttons flash several times and the phone powers off. While the screen is off, press and hold the vol down button. DO NOT let go of vol down until the white bootloader screen comes up. If the phone boots normally, or boots into SAFE MODE (looks like normal boot, but SAFE MODE in all 4 corners of the screen, and no 3rd party apps) then you pressed the vol down button too late. You can actually press vol down during, or even before pressing the power button. But the important thing, is NOT to let go of vol down until you get into bootloader.
For recovery, there is no button combo that boots the phone directly into recovery. You must select it from bootloader, or an alternate means (such as fastboot command). But there is not button combo for recovery as there is on some other phones.
Vol UP and power puts the phone in Qualcomm download mode, which I do not believe has any useful application for us users. So I would advise staying away from it.
Hello anyone.
I have an android tablet. The child forget it's password and tryed many times wrong password. not tabled is locked.
How can I enter the recovery menu? I try

when I press any of volume buttons, the tablet is not powering on, no android logo, no changes on display.
can anyone send me it's firmware or help me enter the recovery menu?

any ideas??
Tablet Hard Reset
I don't have experience with
this specific tablet, but many
Android devices use a similar
procedure.
Start with the tablet fully
powered off (not just in
standby). To force the tablet to
a fully off state, hold the power
button pressed for until it
powers down. This can take 10
to 20 seconds.
Hold the volume up button
pressed (some devices may use
the volume down button), and
then press and hold the power
button, until a small menu
appears. Release the power
button and then the volume
button.
Use the volume up/down
buttons to select the required
menu entry, and then tap the
power button to action the
selection.
I hope this works for you
Hello all,
I recently picked up a Nvidia shield off of Ebay and everything was working fine until yesterday. I was browsing the Play Store when the device turned off and now when I try to boot it will only go as far as the Nvidia logo. I have tried holding down the power and volume down buttons but it only turns off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try entering recovery mode and wiping data. Do this:
1. Hold vol. down button for 3 seconds the rapidly press the power button while still pressing vol. down
2.You're in the tablet's bootloader. Navigate down using the volume keys and select "recovery mode". Confirm by pressing power.
3. Select wipe data/factory reset using the vol. keys once again and confirm with the power key.
4. Reboot and see if it works.
Ty for help. I tried that but it just turns off.
Boot into bootloader
Start with shield tablet off.
Then hold down volume down for 3 secs.
Then tap power button and release while keeping volume down pressed.
This should get you in boot loader mode.
Took me a while last night to find out timing that works for me. I always held the power button too long and didn't get into boot loader mode.
Hi,
I tried to root my phone by using the kingo root application, after 90% it just rebooted and now hangs in a boot loop.
I try to enter the factory reset mode, but when I press power + volume up it only vibrates. There is no home button on this phone. I also tried pressing all 3 buttons power, vol up and down, which just turned the phone off now finally, but I can't get into the factory reset mode. Also power plus volume down just reboot the phone.
//EDit: In case someone has the same issue: Power off the phone by pressing all 3 buttons, after that wait for 10 minutes then power on the phone by pressing power plus volume down until the android logo appears, stop pressing the power button and keep pressing volume down.
