I have read that a hard reset is activated by:
1. Turn off the device if it is turned on
2. (Plug the device into the computer USB Port) Press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power Button at the same time for about three to four seconds to turn the device on, if done correctly you’ll see an Android lying on its back
3. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the Recovery Mode option, and press the Power Button to confirm your choice
4.The device will restart, and after a few minutes the device should boot to a screen showing an Android with a red triangle, press and hold (release buttons after 5 seconds) the Power Button and Volume Up on this screen
5. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and press the Power Button to confirm our choice
6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Yes and press the Power Button to confirm your choice
All goes well till after #2 after i plug in the device to computer via usb port it the tablet freezes and i can not navigate to recovery mode or anything.
Have I missed a step or is something wrong? If onboard recovery process is broke is there a way to fix it?

Can't clear storage. The button is "greyed out." Any suggestions ??
Sorry .. Found an answer to my question .. It worked. This is what I did.
Hard resetting the Nexus One with the Hard button factory data reset. (volume down and power button) The device must be powered OFF to perform this reset. If the device is on, turn it off. (If the device is not responsive and does not turn off, remove the battery and re-insert it.)
While holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up.
Hello. I have a Huawei W1 running 8.1 GDR1 and yesterday, it just started rebooting endlessly every 5 minutes, and it always took the date back to 8:08 AM 8/27. I tried to hard reset on the about section but it just restarted normally without wiping anything. Tried to do the - and + volume buttons combination but the screen with the exclamation mark disappears as soon as I press the first button. There's no way to hard reset this phone and I don't have any other idea to fix it. What can I do?
How to Factory Reset:
Go to Start > Application list > Settings.
Then scroll to the bottom and choose About.
Tap on Reset your phone.
To confirm the reset tap Yes.
It will take a few minutes to restore the default settings, then your phone will restart.
--- Hard Reset ---
Option 1:
Press and hold the Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time.
Then release the Power button when the phone vibrates.
After that, release the Camera button and Volume Down when you are prompted on the Format screen option.
Then press Windows button twice to confirm.
Option 2:
Turn your phone off.
Then press and hold the power key and release it when it vibrates.
Press and hold the Volume Down button until the exclamation mark is displayed.

I tried all of that, to no avail. In the about section, the phone just reboots and doesn't wipe anything, and the other methods just don't work.
Hi my volume button down is broken and everytime it boots it's in safemode.
Whenever trying to access recovery it normally boots up when buttons are pressed.
Booting into download mode freezes it, I have to do a hard reboot by pressing all the buttons.
Volume/power button work fine when in use.
I've opened up my phone to disconnect my volume button it stills boots up in safemode.
I've tried 2 new roms still in safemode.
Hello brother,
Even you flash 2 new roms still booting up safe mode, bad seen
i feel your volume down button was keep pressed maybe,,,,,maybe (it should be b coz of dust or something else).
to be confirm is that your volume button broken or pressed follow the steps below
1. switch on your mobile release the power key and Press again the power key and wait till finish the boot, (if the device get restarted it means we can confirm your volume down button was pressed & hold)
2. press home button & power button check if the device is going to download mode ( if you stuck press power button u will get exit)
how ever try to clean the volume down button inside and pull slightly. after turn on your mobile.
if your damn sure volume button was broken not working at all, then lets think about it
My watch always rebooting every 2 or 3 second. It can not enter fastboot or recovery. What should i do?

Already do that. Nothing change
Can you see the charge level when it is on charger ?
1. Turn off the phone by holding the Power button
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button for about 2-3 seconds
3. While still holding this key press the Power Button for a short while and release keys
4. Then choose, Recovery by using to navigate Volume Down, and to confirm Volume Up
5. Now you see an Android logo press and hold Vol Up for a while
7. While still holding the Volume Up button, press and release the Power button
8. Press Volume Down to choose wipe data/factory reset, and push the Power button to confirm
9. Select "Yes--delete all user data". Use Volume Down button to scroll and Power button to select
10. Now, To restart the phone, select reboot system now

Whenever the device boots it gives me a security warning and press power button to continue message. Because of it I cannot reboot into recovery because even when I hold vol up and power the screen comes up and i need to let go of vol up for it to register at which point phone boots into system.
Well, the keys need to be pressed before the phone boots up and I think you also need to be connected to a PC, otherwise it won't work. If you're able to boot into system then adb reboot recovery should also do the trick
I usually do use the adb method. But I would like to use a method that is more reliable. My problem is that intermediate screen that appears before the samsing s20 fe screen that warns the bootloader is unlocked and device is unsafe and requires power button to be pressed by itself. It does not register when I have vol up pressed down. And when I release to press power and no matter how quickly i go back to pressing vol up + power the phone starts booting into system.

The phone decides its boot method as soon as the screen turns on, that's why I said you need to have the buttons pressed and connected to the PC way before it even turns on.
Once it turns on and you get to that warning screen you can let go and just press the power button to continue and you don't even have to hold the buttons anymore.
Just do what I tell you and you'll be good
I think holding the buttons after pressing the power button to continue will make it boot to system I think, but I'm not sure lol
Can you get to fastboot? Is this an A/B device?
You can write to the misc partition to tell it to go to recovery.

Well i had the same problem, here is how i solved.
First, you need to have a USB-C cable connected to a PC, if not you can do everything right but it wont go to recovery (and i think not even on Download Mode).
Second, shutdown the phone, don't just reset.
Third, Volume up and Power (keep it holding
Once the security screen come, take off the power button and with the Volume up, quickly take off and press again.
It should go to recovery.
Side note:
hey @ShaDisNX255 , nice to see you here.
