How to enter fastboot mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a repeatable way to enter fastboot mode? All I keep hearing about are people entering it by accident but there's never been a method to do it purposefully....and no I'm not referring to download mode. Thanks!

Download Mode "Disabled" Nexus 6P

After unlocking bootloader, I am not able to flash anything ...TWRP, Boot.img, SU. Nothing, the download mode seems to block every effort.
Have tried all the free "OneClick" stuff both APK and computer. Just want to root my Nexus. Sorry if this is a duplication. I have searched and had not luck
finding a solution.
Thank you,
David
I had a similar issue...maybe. My download mode always said disabled. What I did was put the phone in download mode. Then issued the command in CMD (I use minimal adb and fastboot - google it if you dont have adb and fastboot installed on your computer) "fastboot oem ramdump enable" and then restarted the bootloader, now download mode is enabled and I can flash factory images etc.
What are you guys talking about download mode? What i do is I reboot into bootloader mode (after unlocking bootloader), flash TWRP, install custom ROM/Root/Kernels, and you should be good to go.
Download enabled

Well now it is enabled.
Fastboot, Recovery, Download seem to be interchangeable. When I hold down lower volume and power button, it brings up eight or nine lines ... one saying Download Mode; DISABLED all caps. When I did what you said it changed to ENALBED. However, even though I can enter Fastboot Devices and get serial number... it won't let me flash boot image or TWRP. Thank you in advance... any suggestions.
Interesting, have bootloader disabled but still managed to carry on as normal, I just flashed factory images a couple of days ago.
I will try above and enable it

Fastboot mode

So I got a quick question for everyone. Just curious but under fastboot mode what is the top line of the screen? Like what's the name of the device that shows on fastboot mode

Fastboot/download mode?

Does this phone have? Is there a way to boot into such mode so I can flash something via fastboot?
Power and volume down keys just lead to some test mode. Holding the volume down while connecting USB does nothing as well.
I'm just having the same prob with --U51
Thanks
Not meaning to necrorez a thread as the entire forum section is inactive...
On Y625-U21 the best way to enter fastboot mode is via adb:
- activate usb debug
- use "adb reboot bootloader"
you are now in fastboot mode. Notice that on the phone you won't see a special screen: just the huawei logo like it's stuck, but you can use fastboot to do what you want (unlock the bootloader since it won't require codes, run TWRP, flash TWRP etc etc...)

Cannot go into the bootloader mode on my Galaxy tab SM-T285

Currently, I am trying to unlock bootloader using adb.
I installed adb and fastboot and checked everything until the CMD shows my device correctly.
And right after I type
"adb reboot bootloader"
my tablet just restart and does not go into the bootloader mode.
I also tried it manually, by pressing home+up+power button, but it also perform restart and no bootloader mode.
Does anyone knows why?
I checked all the settings in developer mode and cannot figure out why.

You can't unlock the bootloader with adb only with fastboot which doesn't work on Samsung. To unlock the bootloader on Samsung you have to enable OEM unlocking in developer options. Also Samsung doesn't have bootloader mode but instead they have Download mode which you can use tools like Odin or SmartSwitch to flash files. To get into Download mode use the command adb reboot download or use the button combination power + volumn down + home.
