Hello everyone, I have a HTC desire 610 here and I cant get into recovery or fastboot. I've tried holding vol down + power and every other key combo, and it just boots up like I'm not doing anything. The buttons work once the phone is booted so I know they're not broken. Is there any other way to access these options? What could I be doing wrong?
One forum post mentioned a fast boot up option in settings that may disable the fastboot and recovery options, but this doesn't make much sense since this would mean you have to boot into the phone (assuming its working) in order to recover it.
Any input would be appreciated.

Having fast boot turned on in settings doesn't make it impossible to enter recovery or fastboot but is does make it very difficult. It removes any delay at the start of the boot procces and skips some checks to speed up boot time, but this does make entering recovery manually really hard. If you turn of the fast boot mode (I think it was under battery in settings but I haven't used stock rom for so long I'm not sure) you will find it much easier.
Your other option is to enable adb (go into settings > about phone > tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options > hit back > hit developer options then enable adb. Then install "minimal adb" and htc sync(to install the drivers) then from cmd line type "adb reboot recovery" to enter recover or "adb reboot bootloader" for fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, i cant get into the phone settings because its password locked. I bought it at a police auction with a lot of other phones. Most androids are easy enough to restore but this one is giving me the issue i posted about. I guess ill have to keep trying the volume buttons and power.
EDIT: I was able to get into the recovery menu immediately after posting my reply. I did it by holding vol up+ power while the phone was powered on, it gives you a countdown then restarts. At this point to switched to vol down+ power and it kicked me right into the recovery menu.

There is another way to go to recovery option... setting>power>uncheck fast boot.
power off your phone ... the press and hold.. (power key + volume up key + volume down key) together......
fastboot

I found a way for my 610:
Hold power+vol up ,then when screen goes black and vibrates, stop holding power on, move to vol down before appears htc white screen and then will go into fastboot mode. Guaranteed.
Tried cydia impactor
Thanks it helped

So, my Maxx suffered a power button failure and I should be receiving my warranty replacement from VZW sometime in the next day or two. Other than the power button not working, the phone is functioning fine. It reboots, runs normally, functions perfectly. I'm running .215 rooted and I want to return the phone back to stock before shipping it back. Problem is I can't access Boot Loader, no matter what I try. It's like it's not there anymore and when I command the phone into it using quick boot, adb, or the built-in menu, the phone just power cycles off. Let me try to explain:
I have Quick Boot installed and I can use it to boot into recovery without a problem. If I try to boot into Boot Loader, the phones powers off and stays off.
I've tried adb shell with the same results. I can connect to my PC and command the phone using shell commands but usin the 'adb reboot bootloader' command results in the same thing: phone power cycles off and stays off.
Even though my power button is AFU, I figured out I can still access the main recovery menu (the vol down to choose, vol up to select one) by holding down the vol up/down and plugging the phone into a charger. Same thing: power cycles off and stays off.
* Funny thing is although my power button doesn't work, I can still soft reset the phone by holding the power button in and vol down - which is what I need to do to exit recovery or other menus I need to input to a prompt using the power button.
Anyone know of this happening? MY guess is since my phone starts and functions normally otherwise, the boot loader is still there in some form. I just don't know how to access it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I can confirm this app will reboot bootloader

Thanks Dave but not for me. Same result: phone power cycles off and just stays off when selecting reboot bootloader.

If there is no bootloader you won't be able to start your phone at all as its THAT what basically boots the whole hardware and software....
How about adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery commands ?

The bootloader being the phone's "bios" is kind of how I understood it so I'm figuring it's still gotta be there. I just can't seem to access it or get to the "device/battery OK, device disconnceted" menu. I tried adb reboot bootloader and got the same results: power cycle to off and stays off. adb reboot recovery works fine.
Knowing this phone is going to be turned back in, is there any other way I could re-install .211 without having access to the bootloader screen?

Try the eternity project flasher or the motorola's rds lite if they will be able to put the phone to the flash mode as they do that automatically...

I posted a thread over at DroidRAZR.com and got some good feedback and troubleshooting help. It looks like the bottom line is the power button failed in the 'on' postion. One of the folks that replied to the DR thread caused his device to show the same 'AP Fastboot power-off' that I was getting by entering the 'Boot Mode Selection Menu' and holding the power button down while he vol+ to select AP Fastboot. It caused me to look a little closer at what the device was doing and that seems to be exactly what's going on - I powered th phone down using the Quick Boot app and was able to soft reset by holding down the vol- key by itself (didn't need to press power in conjunction). After it SR and i released the vol- key, the device rebooted by itself.
For your info, that thread is here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/3782-cant-access-boot-loader-menu-no-matter-what/
I tried working a thin piece of paper in around the button but no luck there.
Just got a replacement phone from Sprint and have activated it.
Wanted to do a simple HTCDev.com unlock for the ability to do a few things that require root..
From being powered off, I hold down the Down Volume and them press and hold the Power button but that doesn't work... The three icons (buttonless buttons) flash a number of times but no matter how long I hold down those two buttons, the phone won't boot into the bootloader.
And YES, FASTBOOT is unchecked ....
Any ideas? I've rooted a number of phones and it's usually the 'hold down the down volume + power' until it boots into the bootloader...
Not this one...
HELP!
Turn off fastboot in settings and if you still can't, use adb tools or sdk and type adb reboot bootloader

As mentioned above, Fastboot is off...
I finally was able to get into the bootloader ... I let got of the power button and down volume when the three non-button buttons started flashing... The third time it went into the bootloader...
Weird...
basucally flashed a rom and it went bad and my phone wont boot, i can only get it into fastboot but plugging it in and holding volume up and i have no power button, so i cant select boot into recovery, is there any way i can through the cmd?
*edit*
I figured out how to boot to recovery, download a recovery img, and in fastboot cmd you go
Fastboot flash recovery_image_name.IMG
Then
Fastboot boot recovery_image_name.IMG

Depends on which version of the official software/firmware you had installed. You might check out this:

If you were on a KK set up then that recovery won't work.

all i want to know is, when im in fastboot is there some kind of command line or any other way i can select recovery mode besides the power button? my power button is broken, and i cant turn on my phone to reboot into recovery due to me soft bricking it.

So when you turn it off, leave it set there for a bit (guess you would have to let it die at this point...), and hold Volume Up and plug in the USB cable to the PC - you don't get into Download Mode? But as far as booting to recovery without the power button and not able to boot into the OS...I can't think of a way. There are no fastboot commands to get to recovery and without it booting to anything but fastboot, there is no way to utilize adb commands either.
I got ADB going..
Tried the ole adb reboot bootloader & adb reboot recovery.. no dice they both just reboot the phone.
I've got a power button on the back & volume up & down.
I tried volume up & down from powered off.. even letting go & holding them back down after a second like I saw 1 suggestion for.. nope
I tried releasing & re-holding just the power button which took me to a factory reset of the phone which is just volume up & down & power to confirm yes or no 2 twice..
Anybody have any idea how to actually get to recovery ?
The weird thing is this phone has a "Allow OEM Unlock" in the dev settings.
I have the same phone and the same problem. I searched a little on the matter and read that the recovery hasn't been released yet, whatever that means. I had to completely factory reset mine to get a virus out(hopefully) Good luck, please share if you find a solution
Hard reset says
Hard reset. Com showed me that you have to hold the power button and the volume down button until you see the LG logo and then let go of the power button and immediately press it again and continue holding until the LG logo goes off in the recovery menu will come up but it's a piss-poor recovery menu because it only allows you to delete all files on the phone
Doesn't allow you to sideload anything and custom recovery i assume?
I got the LG Rebel 4 LML211BL its from tracphone and I've tried and tried to unlock it but I'm pretty sure it's carrier locked...ive been in ADB shell, tried bootloader, tried pushing files into ADB....tracphone has it locked
I have a passcode locked LML212VL and cant get into download mode.. Ideas?
Reset it, go through setup to wifi page. Turn off mobile and then click to turn off the wifi at the same time you click next to continue setup.
Long story short, I messed up and I regret it. I edited the SDK 2 API levels up to get an app to possibly work and didn't think of the consequences of everything else.
I was running 8.0.0 rooted and am unable to get into recovery as the main boot of android is messed up where all apps result in continuous errors and when trying to enable usb debugging in the settings, the settings crash.
If I could get into revovery mode, I can fix it. The issue though is holding power + vol down does not work. I am not sure how to get into the recovery when the v30 shows that conformity screen on boot when the boot loader is unlocked. I was able to get into fastboot mode but on that screen it says i need to enable OEM unlock. Sadly that is not working as settings crash when trying to enable.
Would anyone have any other ideas to get to recovery?
Let me know if any more info is needed.
EDIT: I do have LGUP installed and does see the device. I would prefer not to have to fully reset the device if possible. Can LGUP boot the device into recovery?
What you described (just holding power and volume) will not get you into recovery... the proper sequence (aka the "button dance") is more involved than that. If you're only holding down those buttons, then you're not doing the process... do a search to see what it is (I believe you need to release and then re-press the power button... but I don't recall, so certainly don't take my description as enough info.
You also said you can boot into fastboot - you may be able to "fastboot reboot recovery" to get into recovery... some phones respond to that.

LGUP can get you to Download mode but not Recovery.
You can boot to Recovery (TWRP) with hardware button dance.
8 sec Power + Vol-, and when it shuts off, release both, immediatly press both again (at the same time), and as soon as the LG V30 logo appears, release power and press/hold it again.
Should get you to the factory reset menu, confirm twice with "yes" (navigate via vol/power buttons), and TWRP should boot fine.
Might take a few tries to get the right timing for that

For that, remember the annoying bootloader unlock warning is part of the boot sequence, if you still have that.

@schwinn8 -
I ended up doing a clean flash with LGUP as I need my phone for work and thought this might as well be a good time to update from stock oreo to stock pie. I wish I had remembered the master reset method as that should have throw me into recovery, I was releasing and then holding both power and vol down when it should have just been releasing power and then holding while continuously holding vol down. Along with fastboot, a while back I had to reinstall windows and so not thinking things through, I did not have working fastboot drivers and didn't initially realize it.
Mistakes were made :/
I very much appreciate the reply.
