How do I enter recovery mode? It doesn't seem like its so straightforward as the GNexus. (Vol. Down + power button)
Just the booting process alone has ate up 20% battery in 5 minutes..

It should. Use quick boot?

Vol up + power. When you see the bootloader hit vol down twice then power.

Is it possible to get into recovery on a stock phone?

I think when you are in recovery, its volume up, volume down, volume up that enables power button

I've cycled through the menu up and down and the power burton wouldn't work. I had to hit it about 8 times for it to work.
I'm going to test that now.

I thought the home key was used to make a selection? Am i misunderstanding your issue?

I tried that and it worked on the first try. Will have to test it out some more to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I had the same problem. I came across the solution by accident when I hit the volume up and down buttons in succession several times (up down up down up down). Give that a try!
I hit volume up really fast about 10-15 times and that is what activated the power button for me.

Nope, its no fluke if you start at the top. Thanks to Tiffany84 and qbking for the tip when I asked about scrolling 15 or 20 times

I've got 5.0.2.7 and for me the power button is the back button and home is for making a selection.

That is correct. If u way the power button to be the enter button then when cwm loafs up it volume up, down, and up again and then u should see "back button enabled" and then the power button makes the selection.

I read this as power button rarely works on cm
I was so exicited only to be let down :'(

It has to do with scrolling through the options completely and going around. So If you go to a screen with less options it will be faster to hit the volume up or down. I believe it is 3 loops that enables/disables it.(maybe 2...)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Uhh... just use the home button to select? Power button is for going back.
Thats what was figured out.

No matter how hard I try I can't seem to boot into download mode with the battery in or out the power and 1 button won't work any ideas?
Have you tried a USB jig?

Nope.... only other way?
Hold down menu and A as its powering up, then when its on the Sense screen, press 1 and it should boot into download mode.
REMEMBER, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EFS CLEAR

Hey Biggoron, I've had success holding the 2 button and power. Give that a shot and see if that works for ya!
Try typing "d-o-w-n-l-o-a-d-m-o-d-e" while holding the power and camera buttons, that always seems to do it for me

i would like a script that would shutdown from a script but not immediately ( like not a battery pull) because i know off an app that does that but i don't want to do that i want a safe shutdown. if you ask why i need this and not just hold the power button then it is because when i hold down the power button i dont get the menu.........
I'll post this here as well.
Hold the power button for 8 seconds and it will turn off. Or so says the stock Task Manager.

But that's a instant shutdown. Can't that damage data?

When I try to get into my boot loader manually this what I get. I usually you can scroll up or down to get to recovery. I have to use CWM app to get to my recovery. Any help would be great thanks.

looks like you are going into the download mode instead of the bootloader. for the bootloader, press down in between the volume up/down and the power button. it looks like you are pressing volume down and the power button.
Yeah that's what you get when you hold volume down and power, you need to hold both volume buttons and power on

I was flashing CM11 on my nexus 7 2013. Upon rebooting, it froze at the boot up load screen so I went to force shut down my nexus by pressing the power button.
Now when I turn on my nexus 7, it will display this pixelised/snowy/static screen as shown in the picture. dropbox.com/s/kdw117hbgn4ztpw/IMG_20140217_041652.jpg
(sorry I cannot attach the photo in this post, please go to the link above)
I tried pressing power and up button, power and down button, all 3 buttons but none would boot me into the recovery mode. Is there anything I can do now? Any help is really appreciated. Thank you
Power and volume up would be the correct combo.
Did you try holding both till the splash screen shows and then just releasing power?
You are technically not hardbricked .it gives power to the device. Harbricked means no power at all.

I tried, it doesnt go into any spash screen. It just stays at the snowy screen.
When i press down power and down button, I actually get the print screen sound. So is there a possibility that the software is working but when i flashed I screwed up the hardware?
Sounds like you borked your bootloader. You should be able to use wugs toolkit to restore to factory stock

It doesnt work because I cannot see anything on my screen at all. I cant enable USB debugging and I also cannot boot it nto the bootloader mode
You don't need debugging for adb
