I received my Adam on February 23 and it worked great for 2 week. It then started booting into the recovery menu without pressing the volume +. It became stuck in the recovery menu. I tried to get help from NI Support but they weren’t able to resolve my problem.
By using ClockWorksMod and playing with different versions boot.img and system.img I was able to get my Adam to boot. The only problem is the volume + key doesn’t work. When the Adam is running I can press the Volume – the media volume goes down but when I press the Volume + nothing happens.
Also when I was in the ClockWorksMod recovery menu I used the Key test option. When I pressed the other keys a number would display but no number would appear when I pressed the volume + key.
Is there some configuration file that maps the Volume button?
Could this be a software problem or this a hardware problem?
Any suggestion on how I can solve this problem would greatly appreciated

I notice a problem with my vol down, here is the symptoms. When i press vol down there is no immediate response, after few seconds of delate the system vol went all the way down to slient mode like I was press and hold the vol down button. I have no problem with vol up and I have no problem pressing both up and down to boot into recovery mode, but during recovery mode the vol down is still not working right. It also have the delate problem but doesn't seem to have press and hold effect while I just press it once.
I am running on Vibrant6 rom from the forum. Is this a rom/firmware problem or a hardware problem?
BTW it was fine when I bought it from ebay.
Question for wizards:
Is there any way to enter boot loader without volume keys?
Keys are defective.
Phone is stacked in windows screen and can not boot completely to use ActiveSync.
anyone please ?
search for this program''quick shutdown'' on this forum...it has the option to restart in boot mode
thanks for reply!
Problem is I can't access windows in my touch2. It is stacked in boot process.
Do you have any other suggestion? Some key sequence, other than vol down + pwr ?
this was my problem too. my volume buttons are not working. when i diassable my phone, volume buttons are cut from the board. so when the phone stucked at boot or something, i have to diassamble the phone then use right combination for volume button down(over the board, using a cable or something metal) + press end call button. then i can see bootloader.
Hi guys,
I'm facing a issue that is kinda new for me.
When I was restarting my xt1068 to Bootloader menu and then selecting recovery option, it gets stuck at bootloader warning logo. As this already happened to me so many times, I've tried to restart the phone using the lock and volume down button. BUT this time this doesn't work. Now I can't restart it and my phone is now stuck on a "forever" warning logo. What should I do to solve this?
Which firmware are you on? If you are on lollipop,the buttons have changed. If you see that "dead android" lying on his back :
on Lollipop:
Press Power and while pressing it tap Volume Up
on KitKat:
Press Volume UP for 5 sec while pressing Volume UP press Power button.
(don't release Volume UP before pressing Power)

Tried it, but still no good results
Lemme be more direct of what I've done
Rebooted into Bootloader > Tapped on Recovery > Shown Warning Bootlogo > (GETS STUCK) > Can't restart using Power and Volume up nor Down > (STILL STUCK)
Try to hold the power button for about 5 minutes. Can you reach bootloader? Maybe you can flash twrp again.

I got it. But not holding for 5 minutes.
It happens that I have no idea how it went through this bug.
But as my last stand of it, i've let my phone stucked to the bootloader until the battery dies.
Then I've pressed the power button with the phone charging and everything seems to work fine now.
The problem is fixed, but this bug god knows why
I would like to appreciate your help @Wolfcity, long live!
Cheers.
PS: Requesting a mod to close this thread, the problem was solved.
You're welcome. Great to hear that your problem is solved.?
Guys, I'm wanting to get into recovery mode to wipe my Dalvik cache but for the life of me I can't get to it. I'm doing up+power+home and I go to screen saying 'Downloading do not restart target'. I guess this is download mode. How do I turn this off?
For kicks I tried down+power+home and it asks me if I want to enter download mode. Also tried up+down+power+home but this just does a normal boot.
I know this is probably something really basic but I just can't get in. I did have KingRoot installed a while back. Could this have caused the problem? Any help is greatly GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Hold power and volume down, then press volume up when the OS warning screen appears = download mode.
Hold power and volume up = recovery.
Don't bother with the home button. You don't need it. Should the key combinations not work correctly, you may have bad buttons on the motherboard.
Thanks for the quick reply. I double-checked my volume buttons and they work as they should (up = louder; down = softer). I tried power + up and still get the download mode screen. I even tried adb to boot into recovery and it brings me to that same 'Downloading do not restart target' screen.
Prior to writing my post above I tested my S4 to make sure I was giving correct information. Both key sequences worked on my S4.
The only thing I can think of is that you have a hardware issue with your volume down button. To test, try pressing and holding power without touching a volume button. If you enter OS warning mode without pressing a volume button, then your volume down button is worn out and needs to be replaced.
My reasoning is this.
Button failures are the most common issue with the Galaxy S4.
You instantly enter download mode by pressing power and volume up while being unable to enter recovery at all. This means you're skipping a step in accessing download mode, which wouldn't happen if all the buttons were working correctly.
Maybe, but shouldn't my phone go into recovery when I send the command to enter recovery from adb? It just reboots and goes to downloading. My buttons work fine when using the phone when android is up so I'm doubting that it is a hardware issue.
It should, but something is interfering with that. I'd go back to stock using Odin, simply to ensure all parts of the firmware match. Then see if you can get into the stock recovery with the key combo. If you are able to, then you can restore TWRP and flash a custom ROM. Otherwise the device needs to be looked at.
Thanks for the reply. I'm running the stock os without root. All I really want to do is wipe Dalvik cache. Can I do that from adb?
Yep.
Hi all
Phone has been a laggy mess since updating to 8.1.0 so am trying to wipe cache partition in recovery. Managed to get into it once on previous update but cannot get into it now. Have got as far as powering up with Charing cable plugged in and holding power button, volume + and home button and getting to the dead android with 'No Command'. Have tried different solutions to get to recovery from here such as:
pushing vol +
Pushing vol + and power
Pushing vol +, home and power
Nothing works. Am I missing something? Honestly this phone has been a constant let down from the word go and this is starting to get to me.
Cheers
When "No command" appear,Press Volume UP & Power simultaneously, then release Volume UP button to get into recovery menu,you should made it,its easy.

Thanks for the reply. Tried it and nothing. How long to hold them together before releasing vol up button?
Thanks
[EDIT] Got into it finally, can't have been holding the button combo long enough. Thanks @Marius.Petran
