Whenever I turn off my phone and try and hold down the volume key, it vibrates and then restarts. Pretty much bypassing my ability to get into HBoot. I even wait for almost a minuter before starting the phone. Only thing that seems to works is a battery pull but this is a pain. So what am I missing here?
Thanks
app "quickboot" should work. Also, power down, then while off, hold vol down press power. also, adb reboot bootloader. also, in terminal emulator, reboot bootloader. Most of those should work.
I tried the vol down but like I said it wasn't working. Quickbook works great so thanks.

Quick boot is the easiest, imo. The reason volume down and power wasn't working is because you have fastboot enabled. To disable it go to menu-settings-power and then uncheck fastboot.

Um guys all you have to do is turn fastboot off in power settings and it will work

I am rooted and was just going to try and install the new radio when I noticed I can not get into the bootloader screen anymore. I power off then hold the Volume down and Power at the same time instead of the bootloader it is just powering back on. Any help is appreciated
Last where do you go to see the radio version that is currently loaded?
Thank, figured it out!
Radio version is in the Settings > About Phone on a Sense rom I believe, I'm on CM7 so it's a tiny bit different.
Hold vol- first, then press and hold the power button. I believe pressing power first then vol- doesn't "activate" the bootloader so to speak.
Make sure fast boot is off.

On my previous HTC EVO 4G when things when wrong (e.g. stuck in a boot loop) I could pull out the battery and then go into recovery (holding power button wouldn't work). Since you can't easily access the battery on this does anyone have a way that you could force it off in case something like this happens? Thanks

power button and both volume up and down for about 10 secs.
Another is power and vol down for 10 secs, then when the phone shuts off, let go of the power for one sec, then hold again. That takes you to the bootloader which you can get to recovery from

That works too but you get a screenshot in the process.
If you just want to force power off the phone, you can hold just the power button for ~8 seconds.
So I've had my atrix unlocked for some time and have had Epinter's android 4.2.1 running on it smoothly. One day I tried to turn it on and it would only go to the boot logo screen (Motorola for stock) and i cant enter fastboot by using the volume keys. Further, the status light never lights up. This may have happened about a week after installing winterboard (port from iOS) probably a dumb choice, but.
can anyone advise if this is bricked, or a way i can get into fastboot and wipe the thing? any advice is appreciated
no input?! I just read somewhere i may be get it into AP fastboot by holding down both volume keys and power button. would love to get this phone working again!

So if you read something, why haven't you taken the initiative to try it out?
I have. And no luck. just says unlocked and will not toggle through options (fastboot etc). I included it in the post so it wasnt a lame 'bump' post. but thanks for your lame bump post.

Just so we are sure, you were holding down the 'Vol down' key while simultaneously pressing the 'Power' button and the text 'Fastboot' didn't show up, is that right?
Also, did the phone have CWM installed?
Yes. clockwork is installed. Yes I held volume down and power.
If you notice when you cold boot your phone a status light appears before the splash screen, and then turns off. Mine.. Doesnt ever turn on.

^ Unfortunately, that does not sound good at all. Did you have the 'fastboot' options (and the other menu items) enabled before? Would you happen to know exactly what made it go away? Because without that support, there's very little you can do.
You could try charging the battery separately, but I'm not so sure. We might need to know what was done/flashed to get into this state.
Press power + volume up, does it do something?
yes I previously had the option to go into fastboot and the other options (bypass motoblur etc) neither volume up nor volume down get me to the other options - it only stays at saying 'unlocked'.
Maybe the volume keys are broken?
I did install Winterboard by Saurik and that may have caused this problem.
I have used a different battery/charged the battery separately and still nothing.
I was attempting to flash over a new ROM. The sense 5.5 that just released. using the fastboot/hboot wasn't working so I tried to install from TWRP recovery, still not working. I then wiped my phone and did a factory reset, including the ROM wipe on TWRP. It booted up without an OS and now I can only get the boot screen to appear but the phone won't shut off. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, then immediately hold the volume down button until it boots back into hboot. (You don't have to keep holding the power button after the screen turns off) other than that I have no idea what your post is about or what you were trying to do.

Thanks for the reply. At 1am, sometimes you just need someone to talk you down from the ledge!

I've had some issues trying to flash new 4.3 roms on new TWRP, install fails after few seconds, screen goes dark, then HTC screen w red dev text comes up, have to hold power button to restart into bootloader/recovery. Seems to help to reboot recovery after wiping and before flashing the rom for me
So not only is my power button not working, Im stuck in the bootloader screen and cant reboot since the power button isn't working. So how can I reboot my phone to at least get it back to being a phone? I took the back part of the phone off to see if I remove the power button and manually press it would that work, no luck there. Any suggestions?
*******Ok so I think I fixed the problem, turns out the power button just need a little bit of help. so if I mess with it to turn off and on it's works. Thanks for the responses, glad to know that when needed, help is there and will be given******
Also, sounds like I might need to be moving on from this phone to the M8. New phone??? well alright!!!!!!
You in HBOOT or FASTBOOT?

Are you familiar with fastboot? Connect to a PC and use fastboot reboot.

Ok, I am connected to my comp, but how would I fast reboot without the use of the power button?
OK UPDATE!!!
So I held the power button down for a min or so and it shut down and rebooted. But the power button still doesn't work.
Yea I know, it doesn't make sense if the power button doesn't work how did it reboot when I held it down for a min? Im trying to wrap my brain around that one too. lol
