To be super specific.....
Turn off the tab. Then hold down volume down. Then hold power on as well for about 3 seconds. Let go, you'll see some white text about custom recovery and then you have 5 seconds to hit the volume up key. Once you see the white text you can let go of volume down.

How to go to the Falshing ROM ? I got the Image from HTC.. and told me to do Vol Down plus Power on..
But I cant make it work ?
Any trick ?
Thanks
Turn the phone off completely.
Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.

That's how you reset to the factory defaults.
What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.

What does that do then?
its called "hard-reset" if you do this.
you can reset your device.

I described a hard reset. I want to know what the other described method does.

It's for flashing your rom.
My old G1 could be rebooted with a three finger salute (Call, Menu, Power). Is there a way to reboot our Vibrant similarly since we don't have a dedicated Call button?
I didn't even know you could reboot like that on the g1 lol don't know of one for the vibrant though.. but there is an app 'quickboot' that does this fine given you are rooted
Try holding the power button for ten seconds
power+volume up/down+home key

Kidding right? It was hard enough trying to get the volume up/down button down right along with power to root this thing!
Works everytime google maps hangs the phone while GPS is going nuts
ok I searched thru all threads, im trying to create a backup with clockwork. I have rooted with clockworkmod and have no clue how to get to it. I am a noob but have rooted and have flashed FROYO on my EPIC. I do have titanium backup aswell, but lookin for the other backup incase i decide to flash back to stock for the OTA FROYO. THanks, Please STEP BY STEP, Or atleast point me to a thread that tells it cause ive been searchin for a hour now
Hold Down the power,volume up,volume down and camera all at the same time and you are know in clockwork.
Also to navigate in it use the voulume up down and camera to select.
Also you can use the keyboard dpad with the enter button for select.
Another nice button combo is camera,power and volume up i think is a soft reset.
Hope this helps.
that isnt working for some reason, just reboots back to up. I was holding volume rocker, power and camara. do i have to do something before i shut down? or start to reboot when the lights are on after shutting down??

When the phone is on hold:
Power
Camera
Volume up
Volume Down
It will work believe me..
Just keep trying sometimes if you miss a key it will activate the reboot button combo..
If your phone is off: Hold camera power and volume down i think...
The phone has to be powered off. And then you hold volume down button, camera and power button until you are at the green cwm menu.

no it doesnt it can be on and you can hold both volume rockers, camera and power and it will take you to clockwork with out power off..
But yes your way works with the phone off..
For Sh*ts and giggles I thought I'd try both methods mentioned here and yes they both work.

Holy balls the double volume rocker thing does work. Good thing I tested that before I said he was wrong lol
Im pressing several different variations of Vol - + Power Maybe im doing it wrong?
Volume Down and Power button right? I feel Ignorant here this is the first android device i cant figure out how to get into recovery.
yes i have a proper update.zip on my external sd.
Thanks in advance.
Hold the Volume down key and then press and hold the Power key. Don't let go until you see the recovery screen.
I read to turn off your phone and press reset while holding power.
Hope this helps

Huh? Not even close.. If the OP wants to flash an update.zip, he needs to...
1. With device held horizantally, power button on top left, turn OFF the device.
2. Hold down the Volume - button (left side of the volume rocker)
3. Hold down the power button.
4. KEEP BOTH HELD DOWN until you see the Recovery text in the top left corner. This appears a second or so AFTER the Acer logo does.
5. Do not let go too soon or you won't enter recovery mode.
whenever i want to do a factory reset with the hardware buttons... and go to recovery i just get a android laying on its back... but it doesnt go further hwo do i fix this
When you're at the screen with the android laying on its back, while holding volume up press the power button. It should bring you to the actual recovery screen.

my phones dutch, so it says "geen opdracht" below the android laying on its back, meaning "no assignment" roughly translated, any ideas?
That's what happens when you try what I said? Or that's just what the initial screen says.

these are the steps i do
- phone's off
- pressing hardware buttons to get into bootloader selection screen
- choosing recovery with volume buttons
- press power to choose recovery
- google logo appears, android laying on its back appears, 2 seconds later, it says "geen opdracht" translated "no assignment" below.
And have you tried holding down the volume up button, and then pressing the power button? That should bring you to the actual recovery menu.

at the the android laying down, hold power and press volume up. in english, the text says 'no command' if i remember correctly.
Have you messed around with your recovery at all? What's your current ROM and kernel? You may have messed up your recovery image somehow.
Also, does that text only show up after pressing volume up and the power button or does it exist already when the picture of the Android shows up?

No, i have not messed arround with my rom or whatever, everything is stock, as it was out of the box.
i choose recovery, i get the android laying on its back with below it "no command" written, pressing volume up and power button doesnt do anything, except reset after holding it for periods of time.
