Right now, I'm stuck at the splash screen on the HTC quietly brilliant, and I need to get back into recovery. Adb doesn't detect my device, so I can't use that. I remember, at least with older htc phones, their would be like a power + volume or something like that to get into the bootloader.
Nevermind: Solved my own problem. Hold down power and volume down button. Wait for the screen to go black, let go of power but continue to hold the volume down button.

I am trying to root my GT7510 (wifi only) and can't get into downloading mode to use odin. I tried posting in that forum, but i do not have enough posts. I have tried the volume down + power button method, but all it does is reboot the tab over and over. If it makes any difference i am on build HMJ37.UEKME P7510UEKME. Should i do a factory restore and try before applying any updates? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you releasing the power button or just continuously holding it down? If it's the latter, that's your problem. Hold volume down, and hold the power button down. As soon as the first Samsung screen pops up, release the power button immediately while still holding the volume down button. You should get into bootloader mode.

Wow, i feel pretty dumb now lol. That was it. I thought it was like getting into the CWM on my epic. Thank you!
No problem! I was new once too, I actually made the same mistake with my Vibrant, trying to get it into download mode.
I like how easy it is to get into download mode on the galaxy tab compared to how I had to do it on the Vibrant

I've tried everything to get my unrooted WiFi Tab to boot into recovery mode. I hold down power and vol down, see "Samsung Galaxy Tab" and then...I'm expecting to see the Odin/recovery menu. Instead, the screen goes black and shows the "Samsung Galaxy Tab" logo again. And again. As long as I hold down he power/volume buttons, it does this. When I stop holding them down, it boots normally. How do I get to the recovery menu so I can finally root this thing?
Keep holding the vol button after you let off the power.
Thanks, I feel like an idiot once I figured it out. I didn't realize I had to let go of the power button once I saw the logo.
I am having the same issue. I am using a Verizon LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It is the 16GB gray model. The baseband version says i905.03 V.EL01 or SCH-I905.EL01 and it's running Android 3.2. Not sure what else you need. Here's what I've tried.
Scenario 1:
1. Powered the tablet off.
2. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
What happens: Nothing. It just sits at a black screen and I never see the Samsung logo. I have to let go of the volume down button, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, let go of the power button. Then the tablet boots normally.
Scenario 2:
1. Tablet on and sitting at my home screen.
2. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
3. Once the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo shows up, I let go of the power button and only hold the volume down button.
What happens: The tablet boots like normal or it boots into Safe Mode.
So what am I doing wrong? I don't understand why I can't get into download(Odin) mode.
have the same issue, but i can go into recovery.
i need to ODIN to have the new CMW installed. tried a lot of things (adb reboot download.. normal 2 buttons boot.. ) and i always end up with a charging battery screen or get black screen and the tablet refuse to start again for few seconds.
anything else I can try?
thanks

I wonder if in the european version is different, here is where i got confused: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19089173&postcount=1
Thanks a lot!
To get your phone into bootloader mode, you have to enter the unlock code first then when it reboots thats the time that you press the power + volume (+/-). I had the same issue with my at&t titan (sim unlocked).
I got an Atrix from a friend who was having problems with it.
I tried turning it on and it stays tuck in a boot loop with the "Dual Core Technology" screen.
I tried a couple of key combinations to see if I could get to fastboot but nothing works. So far I've tried the following combinations:
1. holding the volume up button while powering on
2. holding the volume down button while powering on
3. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then pressing the power button
4. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then letting go of volume down and pressing the power button
5. holding power and volume up button while putting the battery in
I also tried this. After holding down the volume up button and pressing the power button, i tried hitting the volume down button once and then hitting volume up, hitting it twice and then volume up, 3 times and volume up, etc. etc. and then plugging in the phone to the computer, just in case the fastboot menu was there but I couldn't see it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
As it stands right now, all I'm getting is the boot loop. The phone had been sitting around for a while so I'm not really sure what the history is so all I have to go off of is what I have in front of me.
I'd appreciate any help in the matter.
Can you tell more history of the phone?
Is it rooted?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Which ROM is it running if it's running one?

I'm pretty sure its not rooted and almost certain its the stock rom but I have no idea about the bootloader. My friend is not very tech-savy so I'm guessing that the bootloader is locked.
I have no way to verify any of this. All I have at this point is the phone that sits looping at the "dual core technology" screen.
If you have any ideas about which way to proceed from here, I'd greatly appreciate it!
What exactly is happening (down to the last detail) when you boot while holding Vol(-)?

When I have the volume down button pressed while booting, the green led stays on for 4-5 seconds, then the phone boots to the dual core screen, it'll stay there for about 5-7 seconds, then go to the M logo with the ripples and then the screen goes black for a second and then it loops back to the dual core screen. Only, this time, there is no delay between the 'dual core technology' screen and the M logo with the ripples.
Try this:
1) Remove battery
2) Replace battery while holding volume down button
3) Navigate to recovery
Should get you out of the loop.

Maybe the easiest way to get make it work again would be to flash the original stock rom with RSDLite.
It's very easy, you just need to connect your phone via fastboot ( when powering on hold vol(-) key until it says fastboot), then press vol(+) and the computer will detect it.
Just remember to flash the correcto sbf for your phone, otherwise you will have another bootloop.

Where do I get the stock rom?
How about you do some searching on your own for a change?
This time search for fruitcakes. That's the stock ROM.
The volume down button isn't doing anything on my son's Nexus 9. This wouldn't be a big problem in itself, but when rebooting he is put into the HBOOT recovery. I can move through those menu options (fastboot/factory reset/etc) with the volume up button, but can't select any of the options. Maybe the power button has broken too, I don't know.
I see that the volume buttons on Nexus 9 are causing problems for people, but can't find anyone with this kind of trouble.
Does anyone have any advice on what to do next? Is there a way for him to reboot properly, without going into recovery? How can we get it to boot from recovery without those buttons doing anything? Should we just send it back?
Thanks for any help.

It sounds like the vol down button isn't broken, but stuck in the held down position. When you boot android devices with the vol button held down, it tells the device to go into recovery/fastboot, which is exactly what you are seeing. There is no way around that. You have to open up your N9 and unstick the button (or, as you mentioned, return it for repair/replacement)

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the confirmation.
