Getting Download Mode No Reocvery - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

[Q] Unable to Boot into CWM

Hi everyone,
Just recently I restored my phone back to stock from CM10 since I was having some weird issues. I decided to root and rom again but I cant seem to boot into CWM. I flashed CWM through Odin and when I try to boot into CWM it just goes into regular Android recover. I'm holding down the volume up + home + power until it vibrates, then i release power but hold the other two down until the screen shows up.

[Q] Boot loop after flashing AOKP rom.

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!!!

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

You might have to do a factory reset in recovery mode. Thats normally the easiest way to get past softbricks.

- pull battery
- then hold home, volume up, and power and release when ever the blue text on top right flashes.
You flashed a TW kernel and not an AOSP one. That's why you got a bootloop
Vol up+power+home

dont forget to thank Agimax
this is what i do to go back to recovery,
press and hold power button until is completely off then
press and hold volume up and power button to get to fastboot mode then
press volume down 2 times then power button.
all i did was redownload cm 10.2 then just wiped data and flashed again and it workes. so it was a bad download or maybe i forgot to wipe before flashing.
