The time it takes to hold down power button varies, 10 sec is supposed to be the rule but I have had to do this several times and have found the time it takes can be very long as well or medium long. I have had to do it several times to get it to finally go on occasion. Point is keep trying it, it will reboot. Be READY when it does to hold in the volume down button to get into recovery. 2 things you can do....wipe cache, dalvik cache and system and restore your back up or wipe all 3 and install 1.06 M7 rom...

maybe also try plugging in to AC and then power+vol?
Pwr+Vol Dn for ~ 10 seconds. You'll see the softtouch lights begin to flash, then it'll reboot. Like rootntootn said, be quick with the Vol Dn to get into the bootloader. Once you're in there, you're set.

And what should i do when the lights start to flash but nothing else happens ?
I'm having a similar problem.
Stuck on the htc logo and nothing more.
When pressing the vol-down+power the softtouch lights flash but nothing happens.

Hold just power until they flash, when the screen blacks out let go of power then hold volume down, not at the same time.

Next to were u plug in the charger there is a tiny little hole take a small pin , and push in the pin untill the phone resets . But holding down power untill buttons blinks and flash, then letting go .then holding down volume should get you back into boot loader so you can reflash or restore a back up. Once what I posted above didn't work for me keep getting the same as you. So I had a brain storm I pluged cable into pc, started up hasoon2000 all in one tool and clicked on reinstall stock ruu. I don't know why and how this even worked but asoon as the commands stopped runing in the terminal , phone rebooted and was still s_off,rooted, and unlocked . This gets me thinking still today how this fixed my issue when the phone was stuck on boot loop of HTC logo screen lol. It restored it back to my previous state after I first ran moonshine! Lol it was a phone mirical !

Official EXE RUU's (s-on)
Is the hboot and boot loader the same thing? Whenever I go to run the ruu, it comes up saying it is rebooting to boot loader and it stalls out, won't ever reboot to boot loader, and the computer says it is a USB error. I've tried 3 different USB cables.
I'm starting to think this phone is a lost cause.

if the problem persists and if you cant hold the fastboot usb to pc , you must change the ( Main Flex Cable Connector)

I am getting the exact same screen...cant get it to recovery or download mode.
its not bricked, I had this many times while pulling the usb or battery while in odin. Plug in the usb and press and hold vol up and down and power. When the screen goes black let go of power while continuing to hold vol up and down. Should bring you back to download mode
I was able to get it into download mode and flash the rom. Thanks

How'd you get it to flash? I got that same screen but in ODIN it just sits at cache.rfs... nothing good happening after that. It is basically frozen.

OMG I finally got it. I had to leave ODIN open after it stuck at file analysis. I then took out the battery of the phone and put it back into download mode. I click start in ODIN and thankfully... she's flashing back to stock 2.1. I had tried a million different ways... ODIN is not exceptionally stable. No bueno. I think I'm going to keep the stock Kernal cause this was scary... lol.

I had the same problem.
What you have to do is run Odin with the usb connected to the phone, then you unplug and plug the usb back in, hold the vol - and + with the power button at the same time, once the screen goes black, release the power button, but keep holding the vol - and + buttons and Odin will recognize your phone. then the phone will be at the downloading screen
That's how it worked for me.
What did you do to get your phone in this state? Try to root ??

Only suggestion I can give is to keep trying, that's how I got my phone out of that dreaded state in the OP's pic.
Man I'm in the same boat. I tried the key combination many times before this. I was flashed bionix 1.2 w/OC and was using ROM Manager to revert back to my previous ROM which was stock and when it was done it rebooted and would stay stuck with the Samsung Vibrant screen. I ended upsing ADB to get it into download mode and the other modes but I tried to use ODIN to restore after it was in download mode and it just seemed stuck. How long does it take to usually load the kernel? Well it was taking so long so I just pulled the USB plug. After I did this I got that cellphone and computer icon. I've tried many times to get it into download mode or restore mode many times with the volume button and power button and haven't had any luck at all. I'll keep trying. I hope this really works.
I have tried every combo mentioned and a few others along with every button combination, I read it has to do with what rom you were using before the phone -> computer icon. I came from bionix 1.3, I would love any help to get this thing fixed before my wife finds out...
This happened to me earlier today instead pull the battery out and usb then put the battery back in open odin attatch the usb to the computer and then hold down volume up and volume down while plugging the usb to the phone finally and it worked might take a few tries and if odin doesn't recognize the phone unplug the usb and plug it back in if it's already in dl mode
if ur device is hardware locked, ur as well as bricked at this point, i cant get mine out
An easier way to get to download mode that I have been using. Have Odin open. Turn off the phone. Hold volume up and plug in the USB. Goes straight into download mode for me every time. Not sure if this will work with the hardware locked phones (I don't have a hardware locked phone - got it on launch day).

Old thread, I know. Just my 2 cents. I only found this to be true of Odin v1.0 since v1.3 seems quite stable.
If your using odin and it hangs during flashing never pull the usb always pull the battery out first then the cable the phone will stay on when you pull the batterycuz the usb is giving it power but once the usb is pulled the phone is off and you won't be stuck with the dreaded phone !

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I got a TF201 recently and it was rooted so I decided to try and flash it back to factory setting, I went into recovery mode and found there was a backup on there from when it was first made so I restored it to that.
I then clicked the button to reset the system and it gets to the Asus logo but doesn't go any further.
I tried booting into recovery again (power and vol down key) and all I get to is a menu that says "wipe data" or "fastboot USB download protocol", but no matter what I do I can't get past that screen!
Have I properly bricked it? or is there some way I can save this?

You are still on ICS bootloader.
I would advise you doing the nvflash process before leaving ICS because with them files backed up you can never hard brick your prime.
http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/
What rom do you want to install on there?
Here is a quote from another post I made.
Ok, you are on the ICS bootloader at the moment. The first thing we are going to do is flash a version of TWRP recovery on there which will allow you to install a rom off the external SD.
Power off the prime and put yourself into fastboot mode by holding power button and volume down the same time until a few icons appear on the screen. At this point press volume down to go over to the usb icon and then press volume up. It will look like the prime has frozen. Plug the prime into pc and make sure you have the drivers installed. If you do not please install them from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Next follow this post to flash ICS twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34477681&postcount=5705
Only use the file in that link to install it while on ICS bootloader. Later on you are going to flash hairybean 1.3 which will take you up to Jellybean Bootloader. If you use this file after that you will brick your tablet.

When you go to the bootloader where the icons are and you plug the prime into PC it should show up in device manager. If the drivers are not installed it will show unknown device in device manager. If they are installed they will be up the top somewhere under asus or android devices saying something like asus bootloader interface.

Oh wait.. You are on ICS.. It's been so long.
I think the way to get into recovery on that is to hold the power down and volume down button to turn it on and then press volume up when the message appears. I don't think you had the recovery icon on ICS.

Well I have some blob files here that should take you to either the 4.1.1 bootloader and a custom recovery or the 4.2.1 bootloader and a custom recovery but when you upgrade to them you will lose the ability to ever make your nvflash backups.
It all depends what rom you want to go to and if you want to go this route.

I read somewhere also that if you hold power button and volume up as well as volume down all at the same time for a few seconds when phone is frozen, it boots the phone like a pulling battery out reboot effect.

True, but there seems to be some kind of safety feature HTC built into the phone to prevent you from accidentally restarting your phone like that in say your pocket. The ambient light sensor is checked before the reboot will take place, hence the recommendation of rebooting with a light pointed at the sensor or at least in a brightly lit room.

thank you guys , this really works ...4 a moment i tought my phone is gone ...so keep up the good work :good::good::good:
I never knew that the phone checks the ambient light sensor before it reboots. I usually just hold the power and volume up button for about 10 seconds
Uh I just usually hold power until the back and home button starts blinking then it will stop to tell you the phone is off. I thought the guy who said the thing about ambient light was being sarcastic

and 9 times out of ten that will work, but for some reason, from recovery, or when old aroma would get stuck, it didn't, unless you held the phone under a bright light.

Confirm this is true!
I was stuck in the aroma when I was flashing the kernel. I tried for hours to shut it down (tried everything, like hold down for minutes, all combination of holding buttons, etc..) but nothing works. At last I found this post and followed the instructions...
Additional info: The Light sensor has to be stimulated for couple second (may due to some buffer on the sensor reading). The last time I succeeded when I pointed a LED light to the sensor for about 10 seconds and then hold down the power button.
Thanks gunnyman! (Say thanks with words and Thanks button! XD)
alternate method to holding down buttons
I had to find a way to restart the phone when it was in TWRP and frozen. This was caused by using an outdated version of TWRP and no combination of buttons or bright lights was working. If you have access to a computer and are comfortable using adb, this method worked for me.
1) Get and install the latest adb files. I use something called minimal adb and fastboot.
2) Connect your phone, open a command prompt in the directory where your adb is located
3) Type "adb devices" and your phone SHOULD show up
4) Type "adb reboot" or "adb reboot-bootloader" and the phone will reboot either normally or into the bootloader, whichever you prefer.

6) Profit.
thanks all, power and vol up and down worked like a charm

I read somewhere also that if you hold power button and volume up as well as volume down all at the same time for a few seconds when phone is frozen, it boots the phone like a pulling battery out reboot effect.

Help, unable to re-flash recovery after getting stuck at TWRP
tolik75x said:
I had to find a way to restart the phone when it was in TWRP and frozen. This was caused by using an outdated version of TWRP and no combination of buttons or bright lights was working. If you have access to a computer and are comfortable using adb, this method worked for me.

Hi there, am also stuck on frozen TWRP screen, all was well and good for a while but then my damn stock rom downloaded an android update over wifi between reboots (didnt notice) and applied it without asking and now TWRP is non-responsive to touch. Have tried following the above but for some reason now fastboot wont recognise the device, it just says device not found when i try the above (when booted into stock rom). Have tried booting into TWRP and pushing the recovery flash, at the moment its not working either (can get into and out of TWRP as described above). Is it pertinent that during the process i get "ADB server is out of date. Killing:*Daemon started successfully? I have updated android studio to latest but still get this message for some reason...Any help much appreciated. Just trying to get a working recovery so i can flash rom.

Maybe my question above is in the wrong thread? I can confirm that holding down both up and down volume buttons an then power does the same thing as taking the battery out in other models (restart).

Fastboot commands work in the bootloader / fastboot USB
adb commands work in TWRP / recovery
If you can get to the bootloader fastboot USB reflash TWRP or relock the bootloader and flash the same version firmware you have now again
and then flash TWRP
Hi cIsA, thanks for your reply and for distinguishing that after replacing the recovery with TWRP only adb commands will work. Havent had this problems with other phones I have modded. When you say get to the bootloader, one does that by holding down volume down and power no? That takes me to TWRP. I thought recovery and bootloader were the same. So this mean i cant run fastboot commands after installing TWRP? I have re-posted my question in the TWRP thread for this device as I think I may be off topic given the thread title.

try shut down / then power + volume down / this should load the bootloader not TWRP
from TWRP choose reboot bootloader...does this get you to fastboot usb ?
This is the bootloader

That doesn't sound good.
What were you trying to do when this happened?
What stage does your phone get to when trying to boot up (if you can use a camera to take a picture of it, that'd help out a lot)?
What does the phone say when you try booting into Download Mode or Recovery?

I cannot boot it gets the three lines of text Blue Red and Yellow
RECOVERY BOOTING
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY

Well, none of those three items are inherently bad.. The "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" is common when using a custom recovery (like twrp). The "set warranty bit : recovery" is, unless I'm mistaken, just telling Knox that your phone has a "not stock" recovery (i.e. setting Knox to 0x1). That is normal when running a custom recovery.
When it is rebooting, can you hold down the power button to turn off the phone completely? Or does it not register the power button long enough to actually do anything?
When you take the battery out and put it back in, does the phone try to start up right away or do you have to press the power button in order to start it up?
Is that literally the only text you're seeing? I get a full debug screen before that information telling me how I restarted the phone (i.e. hard reset vs. soft reset) and if the reset was caused by an error... I caught a screen shot of it down below (sorry for the picture quality, the Asus TF101 isn't well-known for it's camera quality).

looks like you have the engineering bootloader correct? I would take out your usb plug then take the battery. wait a min or to.put it back in.hold volume down,home button,and power untill the phone vibrates then release the power button while still pressing the volume and home key.

This what I had to then use Odin flash your recovery it worked for me
This happened to me. It it wouldn't boot up into recovery. The blue recovery booting words would come up and all that other stuff but then would quickly go to black screen and boot loop again so I couldn't get into recovery to do a restore or reset and couldn't even just power on the phone. The way I fixed it was 1 pulled battery 2 with battery out held down volume up, home and power button 3 while keeping these held down with one hand inserted battery with other hand. It was tricky but it let me go into down load mode where I re flashed my recovery and fixed the problem. Give it a try and I hope everything works out for you.

Did ya fix it yet? @VansHighTops Just out of curiosity.
Hello, this is my first time posting here. If I should be posting somewhere else, please let me know. I'm having the same exact problem. I have KitKatKiller ROM installed. I opened up ROM manager and it said that my CWM recovery had an update so I updated it (no auto-reboot, I don't know if there should have been one) and then later on I rebooted because I updated xposed framework. Ever since then it has been just boot looping saying its going into recovery and that's it. I've tried all the above suggestions and nothing. Any more ideas?
EDIT: It just randomly started working. Sorry for crying wolf. (Note: It looped for about 30 minutes) Thank you all!

I can't access download mode and fastboot doesn't work either after screwing up something while upgrading to lollipop and installing twrp. This is what I get when holding the up and pluging the usb in. Use to go to the update screen...

I'm stuck at the moment, but the phone does boot up but coping files to the internal memory won't work. Any ideas or help will be deeply appreciated.
Try this first:
1) Remove battery and disconnect USB Cable
2) Press and hold Volume Up
3) Insert battery while Still pressing volume up
4) Insert USB Cable while Still pressing volume up
5) With a little luck you're in download mode and able to flash KDZ with LG flash tool
If not, it seems like fastboot should be working from that screen. I remember going through that on my G2. Make sure your drivers are working. Reinstall them, reboot computer. If you can get your computer to recognize it in fastboot you should be able to flash the partitions manually. Sounds like just laf is needed, at least to get you to download mode so you can KDZ.
Edit- hmm you upgraded to lollipop, I believe I read that Verizon removed fastboot. Maybe some more ideas will come.

Thanks for the reply,
I tried all those mentioned, the fastboot looks like it working but when i shoot over the file it just hangs there then gives an error to the lines of "to many lines" I can't recall exactly.
UPDATE: Now I can't boot into the system all, it goes straight to Fastboot now

doubt i can be of assistance, but this is a verizon device?
if you cant get download mode to come up, your laf partition is jacked. im not sure how you would fix that from recovery though, as adb is disabled, or was for me anyway.

you may want to have the boot img handy too, im skeptical that all your issues came from laf, just a guess though. jacked kernel may be kicking it back, and jacked laf is defaulting to fastboot thats not there.

I can't, the screen shot in the first post is all I get no matter how I try to boot the phone, even plugging it in sends it right to that screen.
Have you tried pulling battery, volume down then power to get into system recovery screen? Then maybe factory reset, just thinking outloud here.

Maybe try to contact @nitroglycerine33 he had the usb yanked while flashing with lg tool (very bad) and fixed it. Maybe he can point you in the right direction.
I sent him a PM, this issue kept me up all night... I cant think of anything.
I fixed the exact same issue by removing the battery, then taking out the SIM card and my external SD. Once those were gone, I pressed and held Vol Down and Power, then put the battery back in while continuing to hold the two buttons. Shortly after the battery was put in, the phone vibrated and went to its traditional recovery menu. From there, I just selected Wipe Cache, and I was then taken to my original TWRP I had. Redoing the process for installation of Jasmine went flawlessly the second time around and am currently running it right now.

will flashing the laf get fastboot or download mode back to restore from kdz? I currenty get a fastboot error, but have access to recovery. Can you walk me through it a little? Thanks!
similar issue
i have a similar issue here as well.
the message i get is "boot certification verify"
the screen then shuts off and the led flashes blue and red
Ive tried everything mentioned in the posts above..
How do you access fastboot?
