ok.... might be some misconfusion here.... everyone is refering to the power button but you are on a verizon phone, so just in case....


push the volume down button and hold it. then push and hold the power/ (or sleep button on verizon RHOD500 Phones) until the boot loader shows up.

once it does then plug in your usb cable, the screen should indicate that you are connected to usb. flash a stock rom first. then unlock and then you can flash a new rom
