I notice a problem with my vol down, here is the symptoms. When i press vol down there is no immediate response, after few seconds of delate the system vol went all the way down to slient mode like I was press and hold the vol down button. I have no problem with vol up and I have no problem pressing both up and down to boot into recovery mode, but during recovery mode the vol down is still not working right. It also have the delate problem but doesn't seem to have press and hold effect while I just press it once.
I am running on Vibrant6 rom from the forum. Is this a rom/firmware problem or a hardware problem?
BTW it was fine when I bought it from ebay.
Hi guys. I just bought a new nexus 7 3G and I want to launch it in fastboot mode to use root tool. But I read in all tutorials that If I want to power on my device in fastboot mode I have to press Vol UP+ Vol Down + Power. But if I press these 3 buttons nothing happens, while if I press only VOL DOWN + POWER ON my device turns on in fastboot mode.
So I ask you: Is it normal???
Correct. It's Volume down + power.
The 3 button mash is more of a simulated battery pull.

So I have to press it only to reset my tablet if it is freezed, right? I don't understand why all tutorials write that, I was becoming crazy
To enter the bootloader: with the phone off hold volume down and press power. Use the volume rocker to scroll through the options
To enter Recovery: Once in the bootloader screen use the volume rocker to bring up the Recovery Mode option and press the power button. This gets you to the dead Andy with the red triangle. Now press volume up and you should have the stock Android recovery.
I'm guessing the bootloader is locked? :X

Once at dead Andy, I (at least) had to press power and vol up to get to stock recovery. Vol up alone did nothing.

This has been happening to me too. Vol up and Andy just lays there, red triangle in hand, laughing at me.
EDIT: Nevermind............ I was missing the point. All good now.
Weird. I'm not able to get past the dead android.
I get into the bootloader fine, can select Recovery Mode, phone reboots and I get the dead Andy with "No command".
Tried pushing vol up... nothing. Tried pushing power and vol up... nothing.
I'm just trying to wipe the cache partition... which I've done before... but can't get past the dead guy.

in the dead andy screen press vol up + power for 4 seconds. if nothing happens try again, is a little tricky.
I have found that mine seems to work better if I hold the vol up for a second BEFORE I press power. Hold vol for a second then continue to hold it while you push power and let both go. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks guys, I'm in.
Man... that's a fine line between holding the buttons long enough to get into recovery, and holding them too long so as to shut your phone off!
X_man, that trick of holding vol up first before pressing power did actually seem to make it easier.

No prob. Glad to help. I myself actually restarted a couple times by accident before I figured out you can hold the vol first. lol
You should only need to tap power while holding the volume Up button.
1. At the bootloader screen, select Recovery mode.
2. Wait for the dead Andy.
3. Press and hold volume Up.
4. Tap power and release (still pressing volume Up).
5. Recovery should show in a second or less.
€DIT: deleted, here was crap
Correction!

@Moondroid, I tried what you suggested many times, but to no avail. Finally I figured out that you had steps 3 and 4 in the wrong order! So for anyone that's still trying to figure this out, press and hold power button, then tap volume up button and release .

Thanks bro you made my life easy.
1. At the Bootloader screen, select Recovery mode.
2. Wait for the dead Andy.
3. Press and hold Power Key (atleast for 01 SEC).
4. Tap Volume Up and release (still pressing Power Key).
5. Recovery should show in a 01 milli second or less.
When I hold down the VolDwn and Power Button my S7flat enters 'Maintenance Boot Mode' and offers me 4 options:
Normal Boot
Factory Reset
Safe Mode
Power Down
If i try to select one of the options by pressing the power button nothing happens. (If i hold the power button down it just reboots) There doesn't seem to be a download mode option. Am I missing something?
Did Verizon or Samsumg block this option??
I do not have root access
Running FW version Nougat QH4
Try holding down volume down, HOME, and power. Does that work?
BINGO! That did it.
Hi all
Phone has been a laggy mess since updating to 8.1.0 so am trying to wipe cache partition in recovery. Managed to get into it once on previous update but cannot get into it now. Have got as far as powering up with Charing cable plugged in and holding power button, volume + and home button and getting to the dead android with 'No Command'. Have tried different solutions to get to recovery from here such as:
pushing vol +
Pushing vol + and power
Pushing vol +, home and power
Nothing works. Am I missing something? Honestly this phone has been a constant let down from the word go and this is starting to get to me.
Cheers
When "No command" appear,Press Volume UP & Power simultaneously, then release Volume UP button to get into recovery menu,you should made it,its easy.

Thanks for the reply. Tried it and nothing. How long to hold them together before releasing vol up button?
Thanks
[EDIT] Got into it finally, can't have been holding the button combo long enough. Thanks @Marius.Petran
