Hello,
Whenever I shutdown my phone and press arrow down + power I can only see "Start" and "Downloading" in the bottom. If I press the arrow keys to select recovery mode nothing happends.
I tried to reflash recovery through Rom Manager with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Volume Down and Power is not how to get to recovery on the Galaxy nexus.
You press BOTH volume buttons and power. This will take you to Fastboot, then use the volume buttons to select Recovery then press Power to select.

now before you try to flame me, ive gone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265399
from that i was able to root my phone, and also flashed a custom recovery
couple things, the tutorial doesnt say HOW to access the recovery once flashed, nor does it say HOW to flash a custom rom
can somebody point me to the tutorial for that?
im a lil confused as to flash with recovery or with the odin v1.85 thingy
Hold the volume up button and power button to enter recovery....haven't flashed a rom yet either. I guess through Odin if it's a .tar file and through recovery if its a zip. Haven't checked yet.

Recovery unless different on this device has always been volume down + power.

That's incorrect..
For Samsung Galaxy s2 epic 4G
vol down + power = download mode
Vol up + power = CWRecovery
Btw OP, your phone has to be turned off then do the button deal.

check out my links in that thread some good info...
So I just got this device and rooted the phone. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get into recovery when turning on the device and holding Vol Down + Power. It always goes into Download Mode. I have Clockwork installed via Rom Manager and am able to boot into Recovery that way (also if I use the Nexus Root Toolkit, when the device reboots, it cycles through recovery). I tried flashing ParanoidAndroid and it's been stuck on the loading screen forever (about 20 min). I've tried rebooting and letting it go, but it's still running. Now if I try to reboot into recovery, I cannot since it keeps going to the download screen. Am I not waiting long enough or did I do something wrong?
Hold both vol up and down at same time with power button

ahh didn't realize I could hold both and had to. Thanks!
In able to get in to recovery, you need to press vol down, vol up, and power. Then use the volume keys to navigate to recovery.

Exit power off hold volume up+home and then power
Volume down is download mode or odin mode.
E973 keeps playing the boot animation of the aokp rom. I have cwm installed, is there anyway i can get into it?
Hold down power button for 10 secs or so until phone powers off, then boot into cwm and factory reset, and wipe both caches, then reboot

been trying that, to get into cwm i hold down the volume up and the power correct?
Can you power the phone off? If yes use kdz and flash back to stock, and do some more reading the forums before you brick your phone!!!
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda premium
yeah i can turn it off, and will my computer recognized it because i tried to do that and it asks for my serial number, which i cannot get into because i cannot boot. I just want to enter cwm but i need to hold down my home key, which does not turn on in the boot animation.. holding down power and volume up bring me to the fastboot mode.
I can upload a tel us kdz file for you if you want. Pm me

I don't know if you already knew this but your phone has safe mode.
When you boot in safe mode only the Android system is loaded.So if you have a problem with a certain app it is much easier to uninstall it that way.
Just hold both volume keys during boot.
If you are in Safe Mode your phone will show it on screen.
edit :
You can also long press the reboot option

Holding both volume keys would boot into Ramdump Mode, isn't it?

don't press the home key
IIRC isn't just simply tapping volume key would let you boot to safe mode?

just the volum keys without the home button is safe mode.
