Reboot to recovery doesn't really work that well, it doesn't on my tablet either. Just let it reboot, and when it's booting again spam either the volume down or back key, depending on your kernel.

I have to press the volume up button on my phone to get into cwm

But if you installed via x-parts you may want to try a different version of it. Newest has issues. Just search the x-parts thread.
R800x-unlocked/AOKP m6

I use cwm-installer and then i tap the volume up button to enter cwm that way of that helps sorry kindnof a noob here lol just saying what worked for me

Stock recovery not working

After flashing a sbf, i'm unable to get into the stock recovery of motorola defy. The exclaimation marks comes up but when i touch the bottom right, the stock recovery doesn't start up. Any idea how i can make this work so i can do factory reset?
If you've flashed a froyo sbf then use both up and down on the volume rocker (at the same time) to enter recovery.

wait, i press up and down both together but it doesn't show up :S instead it just boots...
If you have flashed a 2.2 rom, pressing the vol up & down together should bring the menu. If it reboots instead, there may be other issues.
so what rom are you using now?

i think you have to go through hboot if the device is off. why is that important? it doesnt take that long to go through hboot. if your device iss uo with a custom rom, most support restarting into recovery.
Have to volume down + power to hboot, volume down let the search complete, volume down to recovery, power to select then you will boot to recovery doesnt take too long from a rom with power menu mod you can choose recovery and boot straight in or if your rom doesnt have a power menu mod you can use quick boot from the market to boot straight 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.

That's strange, have you tried to install any recovery like TWRP or CWM?

What exactly are you trying to do? If you go into FB mode you should be able to use the volume rocker to choose what you want in terms of rebooting, recovery, etc. Are you not seeing any menu?

I don't know if this will work, but try plugging your phone in to a computer.
I know CWM has a weird bug on the Nexus 7 where you can't go in to recovery mode unless it's plugged in.
I've never had that problem on my GNex, but it might work...

[Q] Xperia S with MIUI not booting into recovery

Please some one help me. I have MIUI installed on my Xperia S with unlocked bootloader. After flashing MIUI ROM I am not able to boot into recovery.Previous method (taping sony logo) is not working at all. Please some one help me. I need to get into recovery and change this ROM. Thanks in advance....
Dude,
If your on v5 like me.
Hold your power button, chose reboot from the menu.
The options should then be reboot, recovery and then boot loader.
Hope this helps.

Thanks bro, I have tried, but reboot menu only have one item. Which is a normal reboot. Btw, I am on V4. I have tried some app like Quickboot, Rom manager etc but when I tap reboot to recovery button it performs a normal reboot. Not booting into recovery...
Is v4 running off the fxp kernel? Using cm10 as a base?
If so when it boots up and shows free xperia logo. And your led goes purple press up on the volume to get in to recovery.

I think it has stock MIUI kernel. And when booting first it shows a sony white logo (not sony ericsson) and then MIUI logo. I tried keep pressing volume up but no luck. And there is no LED lights up at all...
Have you tried the volume buttons when the Sony logo appears?
Try both up and down.

Yes...I tried both. When I press volume down button it reboots into Safe mode.
The only other thing I can think of is to re install your recovery.
If that don't work extract your recovery files and then use flash tool to revert back to stock.
Then install recovery and drop the files back in.
