I was rooted and unlocked with freegee running Houston's root box, ME's kernel updated to the new boot loader. I tried to boot into recovery to update twrp. The phone rebooted and when it would have went to recovery it went black. I could hold the power button for20 seconds, let go and hold it for three seconds and it would boot. I did some trouble shooting and got nothing so I lgnpst back to stock. Now I can turn it on and use the phone until the screen locks. Once the screen locks if I hit the power button it stays black but the home, back and menu buttons light up if I tap the screen it even makes noise and vibrates. It just doesn't show anything. I rooted and unlocked again thinking maybe I could flash some aosp and it would work but instill couldn't get into recovery. Any ideas?

I am rooted and was just going to try and install the new radio when I noticed I can not get into the bootloader screen anymore. I power off then hold the Volume down and Power at the same time instead of the bootloader it is just powering back on. Any help is appreciated
Last where do you go to see the radio version that is currently loaded?
Thank, figured it out!
Radio version is in the Settings > About Phone on a Sense rom I believe, I'm on CM7 so it's a tiny bit different.
Hold vol- first, then press and hold the power button. I believe pressing power first then vol- doesn't "activate" the bootloader so to speak.
Make sure fast boot is off.

Or since your rooted get quick boot from market and just click on bootloader and it reboots in bootloader

I've held the power button for several minutes, the buttons blink but the phone won't restart. Any tips besides letting the battery die?
Try volume up and down together plus power button, works on One X+

Does nothing. :/ I got it to reboot via adb. Now it is stuck at splash screen and won't show up in adb.

Hold both power and vol down until the screen goes black, usually a second boot gets you back into the os
Remember to clear your dalvik and cache before you use aroma, these current installers bug out if it's not done.

Original Question:
My phone won't boot into recovery by using the manual method. I can boot into it no problem using GooManager to tell the phone to reboot into recovery, but no by powering off my phone, then holding down the power button and volume up. The phone'll vibrate and say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue in the upper left, but the screen will just go black and the phone will boot normally after 2 seconds.
This isn't a big problem by itself, but my phone also seems to have a problem with wiping system on its own or something, because multiple times of rebooting my phone just to reboot, the phone won't boot at all. It'll just stay at the "Galaxy S4" splash screen.
EDIT: Flashing to complete stock using Odin doesn't fix the recovery issue, tried it multiple times.
I had a similar issue but it was my fault. I figured out later hold (in this order) volume up, home, and power buttons. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power button but continue holding the other two until you see "Recovery Booting". Let me know if that works for you.

You are correct sir.... Its not like the S3 that you had to hold all 3 buttons until you saw "Recovery Booting"..

Thanks, that got it to boot into recovery! But now it's just sitting at the "teamwin" screen and has been for the past 5 minutes... I'm going to assume that it's a one time thing and carry on with my life regardless. but now I know how to boot int orecovery the right way! I had gotten it to boot when i first got the phone a few times but I guess I had since started doing it incorrectly.
I have been able to do hard resets on droids before. This droid HTC DNA I cannot get it to HARD reset at all. Ive read a few sites, even information on HTC's website, youtube videos.
holding vol down and power does nothing but boot the phone normally and then prompts for a (forgotten') pin lock screen
Does anyone know the for sure how to do a hard reset on DROID DNA? the factory reset menu never comes on. the vol up and down keys work fine.
Hold down power. The buttons should blink. This will hard reboot the device. Once it shuts off, hold down volume also. This should send you to the hboot screen where factory reset option is available.
Be sure not to hold down volume - until the phone hard reboots.

I hold down power it gives me the 3 seconds countdown until restart, screen goes black after 3 seconds but its still booted never restarted. (im guessing this phone has fastboot enabled and I cannot disable it because pin lock is on)
Odd, I have fast boot enabled on Viper and did what I mentioned with no issues.
Edit: are you still holding power down after screen shuts off and then pressing vol down also?

Can you do adb reboot bootloader?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
just press and hold volume down and power for ten seconds or until it boots into hboot and if you are going straight to fastboot unplug from a usb cable and select bootloader
I was attempting to flash over a new ROM. The sense 5.5 that just released. using the fastboot/hboot wasn't working so I tried to install from TWRP recovery, still not working. I then wiped my phone and did a factory reset, including the ROM wipe on TWRP. It booted up without an OS and now I can only get the boot screen to appear but the phone won't shut off. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, then immediately hold the volume down button until it boots back into hboot. (You don't have to keep holding the power button after the screen turns off) other than that I have no idea what your post is about or what you were trying to do.

Thanks for the reply. At 1am, sometimes you just need someone to talk you down from the ledge!

I've had some issues trying to flash new 4.3 roms on new TWRP, install fails after few seconds, screen goes dark, then HTC screen w red dev text comes up, have to hold power button to restart into bootloader/recovery. Seems to help to reboot recovery after wiping and before flashing the rom for me
