Fastboot Recovery Help - Motorola Photon 4G

If I remove the battery and press volume up and power, I just get "Starting RSD Protocol Support" across the top of the Dual Core Screen. But it just sits there and I lets it go for 5+ minutes before removing the battery.
If I do this with the volume down button I get "Fastboot" across the same Duel Core Screen, but this just sits there also?
I want to go into recovery and clear app cache to see if it will stop freezing on me!
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Press and hold power + Vol down until you see fastboot. then press Vol down cycling through the available options until you see android recovery. Then press Vol Up to select.

It never made it that far. The Duel Core screen comes up and stays there, 1 second later I see fast boot at the top of Duel Core Screen. I let it sit there for 10 minutes, nothing!

You probably did get that far. The top of the screen says fastboot above the dual core icon/text. Then you push the volume down key until you get to "Android Recovery". Or you can plug it into your computer and type in "adb reboot recovery" assuming you have adb set up on your computer. Or you can download an app like EZboot, and reboot to the recovery that way (assuming you have root).

How to get into Recovery- Please help

I just flashed this 2.01.605.0- Basic Debloat ROM. There's an error when I click the phone and an error when I try to get on to markplace. How do I get back to recovery? I don't have ROM manager and I cant get to marketplace to download. Realized the hold power and vol down only works on bamf. Please help.
try holding vol up and powering up at the same time.
Also, does your rom have the reboot into recovery when you try to power down and select restart?
Hold power+volume down is how you get to hboot. It is not rom specific. So boot your phone holding Power and Volume Down then select Recovery in the list you are presented with and hit Power.
Also make sure you don't have fast boot enabled, if you do pull the battery then power+volume down. If all else fails "adb reboot recovery" will get you there from adb.

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.

[Q] About forgot password (strange

(sorry about my chinglish )
So here's how:I locked my nexus10 and forgot the password, and I do not see the "Forgotten" button on the screen and also I didn't turn USB debugging mode on, so is there any possibility I can save my data instead of cleaning them up? Thank you (btw, I deleted the original recover files(because I once booted Ubuntu Touch on it) how can I reset it anyway?) Tanks a lot
Don't think there's a way..
And you should be glad because if it was possible anyone could break into your device.
P.S.
chinglish - like!

yeah........I see, so how can I clean everything, the recovery is dead and I didn't turn the debugging mode on
Right from Google:
1.If your tablet is on, power it off.
2.Press and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down at the same time for several seconds. You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press Volume Down twice, until you see the option Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.
5.While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6.Use the Volume keys to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press Power to select it.
7.Scroll down to Yes - erase all user data and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

Fastboot
You can use Fastboot without USB Debugging enabled.
"To use fastboot, power off, then hold down the power button and both volume buttons. That will take you to the bootloader screen where you, or the toolkit, can do fastboot commands."
I've attached a CWM Recovery image for your device.
Place it somewhere on your computer and open the Terminal application on your computer. Run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery <image location>
Then you can backup /data using advanced backup, perform a factory reset, CREATE A FULL BACKUP, then restore /data using advanced restore.

Galaxy S4 SCH-i545 Only Boot Recovery

My Verizon GS4 won't boot up unless I hold the VOL- and Home button. This wouldn't be a problem if I could boot into Download mode, however I cant. VOL+ Key doesn't work because I dropped my phone, and it says in small blue letter in top left corner of the screen "Recovery Booting" when I don't hold the VOL- and Home button when booting. Please help I cant root or install custom recovery or rom!! I need to downgrade my current firmware but can't do that without download mode. Thanks for the support!

if you can boot into the rom then you need to setup adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
once you have adb configureded and have a shell running type "su" then "reboot download" into the shell
if you don't already have root you are pretty much screwed until you get the button repaired

Need help with password locked unknown tablet

Hi,
My grandfather locked his chinese tablet without knowing how.
Each time we start the tablet we arrive on an input field asking for a password we don't have.
I can't found how to reboot in recovery, however I can boot to fastboot mode with power and vol up keys.
The tablet is branded as a Kliver Klipad KL3889, but there is no other information on the vendor website (klipad DOT fr)
The user manual only says A64 Quad Core CPU and Mali 400MP GPU.
The tablet is running Android 8.1 Go edition, and shows up as "Onda (unverified)" with 1f3a:1006 id according to lsusb command.
When booted in fastboot mode, it shows up with a different id on lsusb :
1f3a:1010 Onda (unverified)
I can not reach the tablet using adb, and when I tried a fastboot
reset using the following commands :
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1f3a erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1f3a erase data
fastboot -i 0x1f3a erase userdata
all I get is the following error :
FAILED (remote: :secure mode,fastboot limited used)

What are my options ? Is there a way to fully reset this device ?
perhaps web search: JTAG + tablet details. Some disassembly required. SuperUser has previously recommended Ort JTag.

As I previously said, I can't access recovery mode. I've tried all keys combinations I could find, and the only one working (Vol Up + power) boot into fastboot mode, not recovery mode.

Hi , try this :
1) Turn off the tablet
2) Hold "Volume +" and turn on the tablet
3) Once you see KLIPAD logo on your display, release the "ON" button (or power) while holding "Volume +"
4) You must arrive on the Android logo, and you will probably get the message "No command"
5) You can let go of "Volume +"
And that's where it becomes interesting:
6) Press "ON" (or power), and while holding the button, a pulse on "Volume +"
7) You finally arrive at the menu of restoration
You navigate through the menu by means of the volume keys, and the "ON" (or power) button acts as validation.
Choose "data / factory reset", confirm
Then "reboot system now" and you're done, if that doesn't work try the same process just with VOl- , also what you can try is :
1. Turn off your device
2. Press and hold Vol - and power button , and once you see Logo , fast release both buttons and see if you are into Recovery mode.

Thanks.
It works like you said until step 4 where I get the android logo, but no "No command" message.
Then when I hold ON button while pressing VOL+ it doesn't do anything.
