Cant get back in to Recovery - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed uX on my locked tab and flashed the root file after. All worked fine tell I rebooted. I lost root and can't seem to get back in using the power and + VAL
Can I use adb on a locked bootloader?

try pressing power and left vol key, as the screen turns on release the power while still pressing the left vol key. Else boot into honeycomb, install rom manager and enter recovery from their, or enable debug mode and run adb command adb reboot recovery.

Don't have root so rom manager won't work. Will try the power and volume + like you stated. But I think adb us easier.
I'm at work and this has been bugging me all day.
Thank you for you help

Booting to Recovery

I have an odd problem. I can re-boot into recovery just fine if I select Reboot into Recovery from within my ROM. However, if I have my phone off and just want to go straight into Recovery I'm having a problem.
Pushing Vol- and the Power button at the same time just gets me a regular startup of the phone instead of booting into Recovery. Am I doing it right?
Had the same problem when stock. Only way I could get my phone to boot into recovery then was to use the commands from the Rezound All-In-One Toolkit 2.0.
I currently have Amon-Ra 3.15 installed & am S-Off with CONROM V4.
Thanks,
CxP

The Vol- and Power button has to be done in a certain way.
I think you press Vol- first, then power, and make sure you hold both of them for around 5 seconds.
Make sure you have fastboot in the settings unchecked. Power off. Press vol - , hold, and press power and hold until you get hboot.

I cant boot on recovery mode.
Am i doing somthing wrong, when i press Volum Down + Power?
Its just boot normaly, but in homescreen say is "Safe Mode"
What to do?
pull battery, reinsert battery, hold vol. down, while holding vol. down, hold the power button down til u see your h-boot screen, when your there choose recovery. or u can download a app from playstore called quickboot, it'll give u all kinds of powering down options. including boot into recovery...

I think I lost my bootloader

So, my Maxx suffered a power button failure and I should be receiving my warranty replacement from VZW sometime in the next day or two. Other than the power button not working, the phone is functioning fine. It reboots, runs normally, functions perfectly. I'm running .215 rooted and I want to return the phone back to stock before shipping it back. Problem is I can't access Boot Loader, no matter what I try. It's like it's not there anymore and when I command the phone into it using quick boot, adb, or the built-in menu, the phone just power cycles off. Let me try to explain:
I have Quick Boot installed and I can use it to boot into recovery without a problem. If I try to boot into Boot Loader, the phones powers off and stays off.
I've tried adb shell with the same results. I can connect to my PC and command the phone using shell commands but usin the 'adb reboot bootloader' command results in the same thing: phone power cycles off and stays off.
Even though my power button is AFU, I figured out I can still access the main recovery menu (the vol down to choose, vol up to select one) by holding down the vol up/down and plugging the phone into a charger. Same thing: power cycles off and stays off.
* Funny thing is although my power button doesn't work, I can still soft reset the phone by holding the power button in and vol down - which is what I need to do to exit recovery or other menus I need to input to a prompt using the power button.
Anyone know of this happening? MY guess is since my phone starts and functions normally otherwise, the boot loader is still there in some form. I just don't know how to access it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I can confirm this app will reboot bootloader

Thanks Dave but not for me. Same result: phone power cycles off and just stays off when selecting reboot bootloader.

If there is no bootloader you won't be able to start your phone at all as its THAT what basically boots the whole hardware and software....
How about adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery commands ?

The bootloader being the phone's "bios" is kind of how I understood it so I'm figuring it's still gotta be there. I just can't seem to access it or get to the "device/battery OK, device disconnceted" menu. I tried adb reboot bootloader and got the same results: power cycle to off and stays off. adb reboot recovery works fine.
Knowing this phone is going to be turned back in, is there any other way I could re-install .211 without having access to the bootloader screen?

Try the eternity project flasher or the motorola's rds lite if they will be able to put the phone to the flash mode as they do that automatically...

I posted a thread over at DroidRAZR.com and got some good feedback and troubleshooting help. It looks like the bottom line is the power button failed in the 'on' postion. One of the folks that replied to the DR thread caused his device to show the same 'AP Fastboot power-off' that I was getting by entering the 'Boot Mode Selection Menu' and holding the power button down while he vol+ to select AP Fastboot. It caused me to look a little closer at what the device was doing and that seems to be exactly what's going on - I powered th phone down using the Quick Boot app and was able to soft reset by holding down the vol- key by itself (didn't need to press power in conjunction). After it SR and i released the vol- key, the device rebooted by itself.
For your info, that thread is here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/3782-cant-access-boot-loader-menu-no-matter-what/
I tried working a thin piece of paper in around the button but no luck there.

Cannot boot to fastboot

as the title says. I cannot do it manually from the phone or with adb reboot bootloader.
I can get to recovery via adb.
How can I get the phone to hboot?
Just unlocked today, flashed TWRP and rooted. Everything seemed to be fine until I just tried to boot to fastboot so I install an img and then flash a custom rom.
**never mind, I was able t get to it from recovery...weird**
Can you Settings-Power and hook off the Fast Start
Hold Volume Down and press the power button for a few seconds
but hold volume down and still wait until Fastboot comes

As it works

Can't boot to fastboot/bootloader/recovery

Holding down the power + either or/and volume buttons boots the phone normally.
I have 2.04.605.2
I did send the phone in to get S-Off via JTAG, although I could never verify it being unable to boot to fastboot/recovery
I could never boot to fastboot/recovery with the current firmware
I took the OTA update the first day I received the phone
Any help would be appreciated.
Hold pwr button, click restart, hold vol down until you go into bootloader, do not let go until you get I to bootloader, even if you think it's not working.

Also you have to uncheck fastboot option from power settings and then power off. Btw have you tried adb reboot bootloader?

Can't enter stock recovery

I have been trying to enter stock recovery mode with volume down and power button but all it does is power up the phone any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks in scanner

An easier way is to hit restart and start holding the volume down ( hold it even before it shuts down and keep holding it).
if that does not help Go to settings -> power, Turn off fastboot in there and try.
Other way is to do it from you computer if you have Adb setup, run command adb reboot-bootloader
none
Are you rooted with a custom rom? If you are just download Goo Manager and reboot from there.
Reboot into bootloader, select recovery once it starts to enter recovery...its not volume down and power, its volume up and power, but its finicky so may take a few tries
