Hey guys, I just got my rooted and S-Off'd DNA! I checked and it has root and I checked and it is S-Off. The phone came to me with Torrented's ROM on it. But when I hold the volume up button and the power button, it won't boot into recovery. I get the white HTC splash screen and then it reboots again into the splash screen again. If I let go, it will reboot into the phone like normal.
Am I doing something wrong? There should be a custom recovery installed already correct?
Thanks!

That worked, thanks a ton! Damn, I feel dumb lol.
I also noticed that if you have the fast boot/shutdown option checked that it is harder to get into the bootloader.

For anyone else coming through, you should disable fast boot to get into recovery. Also, when in doubt, use adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
Booting Into Recovery
OOR, you can turn off phone completly, then turn back on as you hear the first vibrate-let go of power, then hold Volume down. (Sameo Samo...:fingers-crossed
Or, he can get a Note2.
I have fastboot selected and access bootloader everytime by holding power button, capacitive buttons flash and pop up counts down to reboot, as soon as the pop up comes up continue to hold power down and press and hold vol down till bootloader is displayed

If you have adb set up, a simple way to do this is to just run "adb reboot recovery"

Hello everyone,
My vibrant is currently running bionix 1.3.1 and I cant get into recovery mode by using the 3 buttons combo. I have tried vol up down power, and vol down home power. But no luck at all. Every I mess up flashing I have to use odin to restore to defult then use rom manger to get into recovery mode. However I am able to get into download mode with vol up power buttons. Any idea whats going on and how I can fix this?
Thank you,

Ok..do you want to get into recovery mode or download mode?
That doesnt make sense, but doesnt the rom have the options in the power menu (long press power).
Cant you use Quick Boot?
You could use ADB....
I dont understand the problem maybe. You sure you are doing it right?

You have to hold down BOTH the volume up and down button's, then press and hold the power button, once you see the "vibrant" in white letters pop up, release JUST THE POWER button...
I always have to use 2 hands to get into recovery....not talented enough to do it one handed.
Try it that way
Im sorry for the confusion...i wanted to get to the RECOVERY MODE by using the 3 bottons combo.
I know I can get into recovery mode by using ROM MANAGER or VOODOO WIDGET, or hit POWER button and reboot into recovery.
However, I want to try out CM7 room and the instructions said to use the 3 buttons combo. I have tried holding vol. up , down and power. Release power button and still holding up and down vol buttons, but phone just boot to bootlogo and not recovery mode.

Are you holding power all the way until the Vibrant logo shows? All 3 should be held constantly... once you see the vibrant logo, you can let go of power only (maintain volume buttons).
You are probably doing this, just making sure.

The ota from jfd to, was it ji6? Supposedly fixed hwl'd phones.
You could try flashing that. Can't hurt... Worst case, it doesn't work just odin back.

I hold all 3 buttons until the Vibrant word flashes once, then I let go of power only. Works every time.
Try that too.

Shot in the dark here but did you flash the speedmod kernel that was linked to the CM7 page. If so thats an i9000 kernel and I think that will screw up the 3 button combo.

Try flashing one of the 2.3 compatible kernels built specifically for the Vibrant. That might solve your problem.

Flash a rom which has advanced power menu then select reboot after pressing power button. (most roms have this)
Or there is an app called quick boot or fast boot something like that. You can reboot using that as well.

a million thanks, that's what I was looking for.
I have tried it. The phone was off but it never boot again. Just stay off. Am I making any mistake? Whenever I press and hold the power button, on the screen will appear several choices, one of them is the power off. But I just ignored it and keep pressing the power button.

+1, the phone does not reboot, just switches off. Need to power up again!
Push and HOLD all together: Volume up, on/off and Menu Key.
After some seconds it reboots (still hold the keys) and it runs in a selection menu. Here you can select " Warmstart" or clear cache before and then do a Warmstart.
Nothing will be destroyed, because its NOT a Factory reset (Coldstart).
???? Some crazy suggestions here.
Anyway, get SwitchPro widget (from the Market). There's a reboot button in it that pops up a menu for reboot, download or recovery.
It needs root to work. Any software method of rebooting your device will need root.

Okay, in that case, you need to use the power menu that you have to turn the phone off, and turn it back on again.

Which phone are these options on???
Warmstart ?? or do you just mean reboot which is the same as powering phone off and then on via power button and avoids recovery menu .

Are you trying to go into download mode with the phone ON, or OFF?
To go to download mode:
1. turn phone off
2. hold Vol-Down + Home
3. while holding above buttons, push and hold power
4. should get a screen with green text saying something like "to continue, push Vol-Up, to reboot, push Vol-Down"
Get a USB Jig! They are really cheap
Solved! I've tryed with home+volume down+on/off button, and it worked. When i do volume down+home+on/off, it always pass download mode. Strange...

Don't release the buttons until you see download mode.

Long pressing the power will do a hard reboot, used if phone were to become froze and unresponsive.I can't answer your question on how you would change that function.

I guess I mean medium press? The one that brings up the menu of what you'd like to do, shutdown shutdown and restart, etc. Well before it just shuts off from holding it down.
Works perfectly!

You know, like on all the aosp and cyanogen ROM's. Push the power button and you get the option to boot to recovery, download mode, restart, shut off, etc...

Help all,
The other day my E3D started going directly to HBoot when I press the power button. When in HBoot only the volume up button works and it will not accept me pressing the start button to select anything. I am able to put it into safe mode to boot android but I am then unable to get it out of safe mode. I was initially running Pac Rom but am now using Dirty Unicorns 1.2 and have the same result. Any suggestions appreciated.

I think you may be right. I was actually thinking that before and checked under the backing to see if something was stuck there. I just noticed that when I try and press volume down that it does not work. Ugh...but thanks.
