[SOLVED] "Downloading... do not turn off device" Help! - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before anyone links me to different threads, the device this is happening to does work, it is still a big concern of mine though
My problem is that when I press the Power and Volume up buttons to start up my tablet, instead of getting all of the normal options (Restart boot loader, Recovery mode) I get a screen that says "Downloading... Do not turn off target" and I'm stuck on start (Volume buttons do nothing) but start still boots my device and it boots like normal without pressing any volume buttons
If it helps, it started doing this after a crash which my have done something to the firmware (But I'm not the smartest guy on this site)
My device is stock but rooted with an unlocked boot loader

On my N10, Power+Volume Down button will put it into "Downloading" mode and I have to press Power+Both Volume Up and Down at the same time to enter normal bootloader mode.

[Q] PowerON + VolUP + VolDown does not work on my N7 3G

If powered off, pressing together PowerON + VolUP + VolDown does not power on my N7 3G to bootloader. It gives no response.
After releasing this combination, I have to long press PowerON to power on the N7 3G, as it cannot power on properly.
However, PowerON + VolDown does work, this combination boots my N7 3G to bootloader. It is strange...
Also, after flashing recovery, I tried to make it permanent by
Code:
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak
However, it said "no such files".
I tried to "ls" and could not find anything like "recovery-from-boot.p" and "recovery-from-boot.bak"
But the recovery does stick...not sure why
(I used recovery-CWM-touch-6.0.2.3-tilapia.img)

AFAIK, there is no such button combination Pwr+Vup+Vdwn.
What is happening is that you are putting the tablet into APX mode with Pwr+Vup
Once it goes into APX mode, it takes 13 sec of holding Pwr down continuously to cause a reset to occur. It takes another 3-5 seconds after this before the bootloader splash screen shows up.
If you continue to hold down the power button, and press Vdwn within 1 second (be ready for it!) of the bootloader splash screen (B&W Google logo in center of screen + unlocked padlock image at bottom if the bootloader is unlocked) appearing on the screen, the tablet will go to fastboot mode.
If you miss that short-lived opportunity the bootloader will attempt to boot the image in the boot partition (LNX); which is to say: a normal OS boot.
In general you can always force a reboot by holding the power button down long enough (no matter what mode the tablet is in!) - and if you have Pwr+Vdwn pressed within one second of that bootloader splash screen appearing, the bootloader will go into fastboot mode rather than attempting a normal boot.

Thanks for point this out.
It is strange that many tutorials which I read are having instructions saying this combination can bring your N7 to bootloader. That's why I got confused.

Cant boot into recovery of fastboot mode

Hi,
I flashed TWRP and CM 10.1 but then I got problems with the phone not charging (still having that issue but will post it in another thread). Anyhow I decided to reflash the the stock rom and during the flash the phone randomly restarted. Luckily for me I was able to boot up and everything is working fine. the only problem is i can now longer access my system recovery (power and vol down) or fastboot mode (power and vol up). When trying power and vol down the phone starts up as normal. when trying power and vol up the phone vibrates, the bottom 3 keys light up and then nothing. I have to then hold down the power button to turn the phone off and back on. I hope someone can help me troubleshoot this as I have no idea what to do.
Many Thanks!

Recovery is accessed by volume up, volume down, and power held down simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds or until you see recovery. Not sure about fastboot. Have you tried to see if your in fastboot by using adb and checking for fastboot devices. You may be getting fastboot mode. I forget if it actually said anything on the screen. Good luck!

[HELP] Phone won't open the bootloader on Moto G4 Plus

I was flashing the Lineage OS 14.1.2 using the latest TWRP custom recovery. I wiped the necessary partitions excluding the internal storage and i unknowingly hit reboot while the OS was not installed. The phone restarted and got stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen. I tried to open the bootloader again by holding power down+volume down and it restarted and again got stuck at "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen, any help?

Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, and at the INSTANT the screen turns off, begin holding the power button. The phone should boot into fastboot mode.
Not working

Good to know that it did work. Yeah, I meant to hold volume down.
Also, for future reference, when you force shut down the Moto G4, the first shutdown starts an autoreboot. So, you don't even need to continue holding the power button- you can release the power button after the screen turns off and just hold down the Volume Down button.

Psm-p900 not booting into recovery mode

Hi,
Have this old thing, and charged it up after years, and am trying to get into it, but realized I had a lock screen
and password I can't remember
So I'm trying to get into recovery to restore it to default, but when holding Home+Volume up + Power it boots to this screen
and not recovery. I am pretty sure I haven't moded the boot loader and firmware
Anyone know how to get into the recovery? or any other way to get past the lock screen?
In doing some research, that is the download mode. But someone else had the same problem and instead of holding the Volume Up, the Held the volume down on a Galaxy Tab and it worked.
When I try Volume down, If I keep the buttons held, it goes in a loop. And if I release them when I see the logo, it boots into a black screen powered on, but no menu shows up
if the recovery is incorrect for the device (wrong model) it'll send you straight to that screen.
solved by flashing one for the model you have.

Help! Stuck on black screen and cannot get to fastboot

I tried unrooting my 6T and something went wrong. Now when it boots it shows the bootloader unlocked warning then goes to black screen and stops. It will randomly vibrate when I press the screen or the power button. My computer doesn't recognize it and I can't even seem to be able to turn it off completely. The only thing I can get it to do is reboot by pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons.
Any advice on how I can force it into fastboot or get my computer to recognize it so I can working on it?

Keep pressing simultaneously volume up , volume down and power button all three of them until you get the fastboot screen.
It maybe takes a while...

like the first answer:
hold vol up, vol down and power butten as long as the phone boots into fastboot mode and flash fastboot Rom OR
hold vol up and vol down for about 5-6 seconds, and plug your phone to your computer. if it gets recognized (with typical sound of windows) try msm tool. And be sure you have the qualcomm driver installed.
