I've successfully unlocked and rooted, installed Rom Manager and installed CWM recovery. While I can get into CWM recovery from within ROM Manager I can't fiigure out how to do it from power off. Any help greatly appreciated.
Hold volume up + volume down, then press the power button.
You should be in bootloader, with an android on its back and some info in the bottom left corner. Use the volume buttons to scroll through until you get to <Recovery> and then hit power.
I fingered it out. From power down, boot into fastboot mode by holding volume up and volume down and pressing the power button. A Green robot on his back with his chest opened up appears on the screen.
Then use the volume up or down until the green "Start" in the green arrow box is replaced with a red "Recovery mode" in a red arrow box.
Push the power button. The power on splash screen is displayed for a bit and then it enters the blue texted CWM recovery. Know exactly what you are doing in there!

I am on MR4 and when I try to boot into Recovery from Clockwork, it goes to a screen with the Red icon indicating it is dead. I have to pull the battery to restart the phone. If I go to Clockwork and reflash the recovery, I can get in, but it only lasts for one restart.
Any ideas?
By "red icon" did you mean a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it?
If so then, what you needed to do to get into recovery from there is press "volume up + power".
It might show an error at the bottom when you do this. If it did, you just have to repeatedly press "volume up + power" until you get some options at the top of the screen and choose "apply update.zip"

Yes - so this has to be done every time? How do I get into recovery just with the phone off then?
From your phone being off, hold down "volume down + power" to get to a fast boot screen (a white screen with android logo at the bottom).
Your phone will be doing some file checking at the beginning of fast boot and it's going to take a minute or two.
Press volume down to reject the two updates. Choose go to Recovery when you can get to it. You'll be taken to the familiar screen with "red icon" from there.
FYI, browsing on fast boot is done by "volume up/down" for navigating and "power button" to confirm choice.
I get a triangle with ! inside and the small green android robot. step3: pressing bottom right corner no change
Any idea?
Thanks

Hello,
I was using this ROM UK BlurlessGingerFroyo 4 from Jboogie3.
I accidently deleted a file in \system\app and now my phone stuck at boot.
I tried to use RSD Lite with:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_117-002
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-3
3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR
But all these files I got the same stuck at boot screen.
Any solution, please?
Thanks a lot guys!
Regards,
Ton
I think you can flash any of those and after flashing, when you're stuck, remove battery, insert battery, get into stock recovery (power + vol. down) and wipe data and cache.
I can't enter into stock recovery, if I push power + vol down I see the robot android + white triangle with exclamation
Thanks for reply
I pressed the bottom-right corner of my screen, but I don't get in the Recovery Mode

Everything has been already written. In 2.2 firmwares when you see the triangle with exclamation mark, you need to press vol. up + vol. down and you'll see the stock recovery menu.

THANKKKKK YOUUUU MAN!!
I am having no luck getting my device into download mode (I can't believe it).
If I hold volume up, menu, and power button, 'samsung' in white letters just keeps flashing slowly.
if i let go of holding them, then it brings me to an android recovery screen.
any advice please?
edit: solved ---- thought it was volume up i was supposed to hold, but is volume down

Yep... Vol Down + Home + Pwr for Download mode. BTW, it's the HOME (center) button... not the Menu key.
I used "adb reboot recevery", it takes me to the laying android with "no command" but the old power button/volume nerve pinches don't seem to work to get to recovery.

This is the most finicky device I've had for getting into recovery.
You need to hold power and then press volume up and immediately release both of them....just keep trying, it's very picky

that is insane. After about 8 tries of doing like you said I got it. Finally flashing 8.1.
This took me a few tries.
When the Android logo is displayed hold down the Power key for a few moments.
While still pressing the Power button press and release the Volume Up key.
The following steps worked for me (taken from AndroidExplained):
Pixel 2 Fastboot Mode
Press and hold the power button for a few seconds
Tap the Power Off option when the Power Menu appears
Wait for the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL to completely turn off
Then press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time
Continue holding these two buttons down until you boot into Fastboot Mode

That only gets you into fastboot. From there you will need to select recovery, then you will arrive at the dead android screen, at which time you will need to hold the power button, then while holding the power button, tap vol. up to enter recovery.
Verified instructions
Here are the instructions I pulled from a Google forum:
1. Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
2. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Recovery mode."
3. Press the Power button to start recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
4. Press & hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release Power.

This works like a charm on the P2.
