rooting the galaxy tab 10.1

I've been able to get as far as installing Odin but when I try to enter recovery mode I press the up arrow on my volume and it shuts off! I just need to install the tab root zip . But like I said it keep shutting off I'm stumped can anyone help me. I tried following the you tube video step by step but its not quite going the way the video says it should be please help:O
i need help too actually.
My tab is running the latest firmware from Samsung but I want to try rooting for the first time. I found the guide on the forums but cant even get past the first step. I"ve tried powering off the device, holding down the volume down button and holding the power button several times, waiting for it to boot into the download mode but whenever I do this, it turns on,shows me the samsung logo,then shuts off.it does this in and endless loop until I let go of both buttons and it just reboots as it normally would.
Anyone have any ideas?
regardless, if your tab is powered on or off, hold down the volume down (left) button... then while still holding it... hold down the power button.... keep holding down both.... once you see the splash scree "Tab" in white... release power... keep holding volume down.
A couple seconds later you will be at the prompt to select download mode or recovery
I did not see this very clear in any of the guides, but it is the same for all 3 of my samsung devices.
Thanks so much, I feel dumb now haha. Its odd b/c thats not how the HTC boot menu works. you hold down both.

Boot loop bricked?

Alright, im not entirely sure what im dealing with here. I recently flashed the newest viper 1.2.0. Everything flashed fine, no problems. Then when i go to change the font, and the device tries to do a hot reboot, it gets stuck. Theres no way to power it down, or restart it, because long pressing the power button does nothing, as well as pressing both the power button and volume down. it just sits there stuck in the boot animation. no matter where i go, i cant seem to find anything about being absolutely stuck in boot loop, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction? its been stuck in boot loop for 30 mins now
It will take a while holding down the power button , Keep trying , Mine did the same thing and I just kept trying the power button and it finally took . Hope it helps , All isnt lost yet .

Mediapad (S7-303u) either bricked or pernament stuck on boot loop

Hello everyone,
I am tackling a weird situation. I came into a possession of a Huawei Mediapad from T-Mobile that my girlfriend has. It seems that she got it used for free and it may have been messed with to have a custom rom. When I turn it on, it goes with the boot image of a Cyanogenmod logo (seems to be either 10 or 10.1) and it stays on the loading animation for several hours with no change. Then I tried to access recovery mode and when I first press and hold both the Vol- with Power, it won't load anything except for it will do a repeating brief vibration for as long as I hold both buttons down. Then I press and hold both Vol- and Power, but as it turns on I release the power but keep holding the Vol-, it just goes back to the boot animation.
I then tried to do the Vol+ Power combination. By holding both of them down without letting go, it'll do the brief vibration that repeats itself. But when I release the Power but keep holding the Vol+, it takes me to a black screen with white lettering saying the following:
Enter into fastboot mode
You can press POWER key for more than 10 seconds to reboot device
It seems that the recovery mode is not even available for me to do either a wipe or install the stock firmware. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated, including on any proper builds of the latest build since Froyo is the latest version for the stock build.

Help stuck in white boot logo

Ok so i rooted my phone i format him and when he restarted it's stuck to boot logo but the lockscreen works and everyting and there is only home button and back button. How to hard reset the phone ? I think it's not bricked, there is no welcome Setup
Well, to hard reset the phone, its simply hold the power and volume up button, and may I ask how you rooted your phone, just need to make sure you did it correctly
If you can get into bootloader (I think its power+volume up) you can use the volume keys to navigate to factory reset, and press power. Rooting your 610 with windroid is the most easiest, I recommend you trying Windroid root tool. It flashes a recovery and roots
volume down and power button when phone is off.. if the phone wont turn off volume button up and power button for around 10 seconds
hope this helps

Bootloop in recovery mode - Volume down stuck

Hi everyone,
Here's my first message on the forum ever and i'd have liked it to be for another reason but that's a call for help.
I just got back from my sister her OnePlus X that she dropped into the pool hoping that I could fix it for her.
The phone is stuck into a bootloop in recovery mode. I tried to install the latest official rom, wipe the cache and data and also reset factory the phone, nothing does.
Actually i found out that if i were not trying to start the phone for some times (count it in weeks) it would start and will be working just fine.
Until it powers off. As soon as it is off, the bootloop starts again.
I think that when she dropped it into water it might have oxydated the volume down button, which is not working anyway and controls the boot into recovery.
Do you have any idea on how to unstuck this button or how to prevent the phone from booting into recovery while the volume down button is stucked.
Thank you in advance, and while waiting for your answers, i wish u a pleasant day all.
Valentin
The temporary solution is this:-
In recovery before hitting boot system, just press your volume up key. The phone will not boot up. Now press power button for 10seconds and then once you see oneplus logo hit volume up.
You will see normal boot screen.
Mind that during entire process the volume down button was continuously pressed. I would suggest you to take phone to nearest service center.
