I have a Motorola Xoom that I was trying to boot into recovery.
There's a problem, my volume up button is broken. Didnt realize it before so now I'm stuck at the logo with the choice to scroll between RSD, Fastboot or Recovery but cant select any mode.
Is there a way to exit this ? Tried to keep the power button pressed and tried various combiations of vol down and power but no result.
If I let it sit and drain the battery, will it eventually get out of this mode ?
Thanks

Plug it into your computer and run adb then type fast boot reboot.

Sorry I should be more specific. Download easyadb and unzip it. Plug your Xoom into the computer and open a command prompt in that file with adb in it. Change your Xoom to fast boot protocol support and type fast boot reboot in adb.

Actually maybe try to press the volume up button really hard..
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The problem with connecting to the pc is that adb wont recognize the device. Its because the device is stuck in select mode and not going into either of the RSD/Fastboot/Recovery options.
I can scroll through them but even hard pressing the up button wont work. I dropped it and the button doesnt work.
They are pretty easy to take apart, check out some videos on YouTube, etc and see if you can fix your volume button.
Thanks brandogg, Thats what I was planning to do. Or take it back to a verizon store since its still under warranty I think
Use your idea and let the battery drain..
Letting the battery drain overnight worked.
Thanks

Does anyone know how to put the MT4G into safe mode?
Answer:
Hold down the menu button while booting up
To exit safe mode just reboot the phone
what does this do?
It's used for troubleshooting. It will not load downloaded applications or run any services. It's very similar to Safe Mode in Windows. If you're having problems with your phone at the end of booting up then you should try this before doing a factory reset. You may find an app or something that's causing boot up problems and remove it.

If its stuck on safe mode after trying to reboot via restart or full power off and removing the battery, how do i go about restoring the phone, and getting it off of safe mode?

As stated, I am unrooted, but still have CWM recovery on my phone.
I want to flash the original RUU, so I can send it back to the seller without a trace of it being rooted at all.
I can't get into bootloader using volume down, home, and the power button...because the power button doesn't work.
Is there anything you guys suggest, or is there a way to get into bootloader through ADB or an application?
Thanks,
hazEup
Bump.
Anybody?
No possible way to get into bootloader without the power button?
Just wanna flash this RUU...
pull battery, replace battery
Hold volume up+down buttons , or hold Vol.Down and Camera
connect to wall charger or usb/pc
if phone always boots up when replacing battery
press buttons before replacing battery

may need to be usb/pc
I'm in the same boat trying to do a friend's phone. I've tried holding the buttons before putting the battery back in. The screen flashes but stays black for a while and then boots up normally. I'll try with it connected to the PC.
Lg G2 AT&T, The power button and volume down button does not work, when i try to get into download mode it goes to "[2130] Fastboot mode started" . I flashed the wrong rom for my device, usually i can go to recovery but for some reason this time it wont let me. At this point i'm pretty hopeless, I have looked on Google for solutions but you either need recovery or download mode. Please help
Have you tried entering recovery by turning off the phone...pressing power and vol. down...then, while still holding the vol. down, release and press again the power button once the LG logo appears...then release the vol. down button once it asks if u want to factory reset and pressed the power button three times to attempt to enter recovery?

Read this entire post and follow VERY carefully if your symptoms sound the same (two different sets of symptoms with different solutions). I was able to bring my phone back without recovery, download mode, etc. However, I did not have the fastboot error. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089

Alright so none of it was working. Linux would not read my phone. I traded in my phone and got a Nexus 6 instead. Thank you for your help!
I have a soft bricked Z1. Recovery doesn't work. System doesn't work. Now I cannot find any way to force it into fastboot mode to flash a new, working recovery. Any tips?
power off
than press and hold vol+ and vol-
connect y phone to pc .
Thanks and I tried that, but I can't power it off. It's stuck in a boot loop and when Iong-press the power button, it just restarts
Press and hold until it go black , after 1 reboot .

So I followed these steps:
1) Long-press the power button. Phone restarts.
2) While restart, hold +vol and -vol.
3) Immediately after restart, plugin USB cable to computer.
That didn't help. Did I miss anything?
No . than take off the cover and unplug buttery .

Okay guys so I had the exact same problem just hours ago.
I accidentally flashed a kernel in recovery partition (Ik lol xD)
So here's what i did.
I searched around a lot and didn't find an exact answer. Then i came across something.
If you can, remove the back cover and disconnect the battery and then connect it again.(Look it up on Youtube)
If you can't do so, wait for the battery to fully discharge.
Then, press the vol+ and vol- together and wait for 2-3 secs and then connect your USB cable.
Don't press the power button or you'll just end up in a bootloop.
My phone directly went into fastboot mode.
Hope I Helped.
hold voulme + button and power button , and then continuously press volume - button 10-15 times! it will boot twrp ! i was facing the same issue ! This worked for me!

Let your phone to discharge to 0% then it would automatically power off. Then press and hold volume up button and connect to pc. And you r there in fastboot.
My phone is bricked and I was thinking about flashing it via adb fastboot, but I cant since my bootloader is locked, I tried to get the code but it is asking me for info which I can only get with phone turned on, is there anything I can do?
I got IMEI only, but I also need Product Model, Product Serial number, Product ID. (I can access those only in settings and in dial pad if I am not wrong).
See the back of phone, what type of model is? VNS-???

i have mate 10 lite same problem,bootloader is locked so can i use dload method,and where to get the stock firmware
I have executed these commands and after from this moment, the screen of my device is black and which key or combinations of keys I press nothing works..
Code:
fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk.img
Disconnected the cable, connected the cable, holding the keys for a longer period, holding them for a short period. Only power key, only volume up/down, combining power with volume. Nothing works. When connecting it to the computer, I do see device manager constantly refreshing. But both fastboot and adb are not finding any devices.
When holding the power button for more then 10 seconds, I do feel a small vibe but thats all. Nothing further happens, also not when connecting it to the PC or disconnecting it from the PC.
Anyone any idea what I could to to fix this?
