If you keep holding the buttons, "SAMSUNG" will keep flashing on the screen. You can let it flash as many times as you want... but there's no reason to. As soon it says SAMSUNG, you can let go.
Press and hold both volume buttons and power button at the same time until Samsung logo comes up. Once u see that, let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume buttons and the stock blue recovery mode comes up.

Hold all buttons and while hopping on one foot scream at the top of your lungs "YALLA WANNA ADROOOD WALLA HEEEE!" 2.5 times. Then while simultaneously releasing the buttons use all your inner strength to fart.
That will work.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 Won't Power Up

I took my Tab on vacation (in the Samsung bookcase). I went to power it up and it's completely dead. I have called Samsung and after troubleshooting they have sent me a UPS label for an RMA.
We tried leaving out on the charger for 3 hours but no joy. I then called them back and we then tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume up button but no joy with that either. We even tried the power button and volume down button but that didn't work either. For some reason my Tab that had worked perfectly up until now has died completely.
Before I send this back tomorrow does anyone have went last minute ideas? I'm at a complete loss at the moment.

Thanks I just took a look at the thread. Nothing there useful that I can use to get my Tab working but it does seem that I'm not the only one with the problem.

[Q] Volume Up + Power???

Hello everyone,
Was hoping someone could explain what the button combination "Volume Up + Power" actually does..??
I tried it just a few moments ago and the only thing that happened was it vibrated, nothing showed up on the screen (as if it were off), and the LED (orange) kept blinking. No buttons worked, so had to pull the battery.
Before doing that, I decided to attach the phone to my computer via USB. It asks for drivers. Which drivers though? I already have all the drivers installed for my phone...
Anyway, the main question here is..what is this mysterious mode the phone goes into when powering on the device using volume UP??
Just curious =P
What ROM are you running?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I'm running [KANG]CM 7.2.RC0.
The latest one.
I didn't think the ROMs had anything to do with the power and volume combinations when starting up the phone.
...did I forget to mention that in my original post? Basically, my phone is not on when I'm trying the button combos..

youve gotta hold volume down + power button to access fastboot. volume up + power button only works for the stock recovery
Ooooh. I thought this was in ROM. You meant while powered off. Ok. Sorry.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Well I know about volume down + power
I was just curious about what the volume up combo did. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
@estallings15,
it was actually my fault for not being clear enough in my original post. My bad.
I was experimenting to see what each button combo with the power button did while the phone was off..

Ha. No worries. I usually edit a post several times when asking a question because I leave out info. Easy to forget things!

Look at the dropbox image pls. I hit power button and it did nothing. Volume rockers do nothing. I am in fastboot
I did look at it. Your bootloader must be frozen.
Hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds.

CM10.1- how do I take screen shot pictures?

This is for the latest CM10.1 nightly. Power and volume down doesn't work. It worked this way with stock. :'( loving my new nexus 7!!

You can always go to power menu and screenshot from there though it's really "clunky" (my vocabulary sucks)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Settings-system-power menu. From there you can enable screenshots from long pressing the power button and tapping screenshot.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
the proper way to do it is to hold down the power and the up volume, or down, idk, and it will take a screenshot, it has to be pretty good timing though or youll turn your volume up or turn off the screen.

Thank!!
Is it possible to assign gesture cover screen like Galaxy note II for capture?
How to take screenshot
All you need to do for 10.1 is hold power and volume down at the same time
