I did search this forum but couldn't find any answers. So after I install CWM using Freegee, how do I boot into CWM using hard key combos? Or it can only be done using an app?
With the power off, hold the volume down, home, and power button and when the LG symbol shows up, just let go of home, keep holding vol and power.
Or, DL goo manager or rom toolbox lite, both can boot you into recovery.

It used to be just fine, I could just press vol down and power and would go in recovery, but recently it just wont go in recovery, i always have to use rom manager, or adb to go in there, what do you guys think?
I believe you press both up and down volume, plus power to get into recovery. Not Volume down, plus power.
Its volume up and down.

Press volume up and down and power at the same time. When you see the Samsung logo, Let go of all three.
Mine wasn't going into using darkside kernel it would only work if I used clockwork app so I flashed back to bullet

You could also try flashing the touch CWM using ODIN if that still doesn't work. But usually you just hold down both volume buttons.
Thanks. It works with both buttons. Thanks again

Or you could use terminal emulator and just type
reboot recovery

I used to press the Power Button and the phone quickly wakeup. Out of the sudden, when I press the Power Button it now takes 4-5 seconds until the phone wakeup. I could not find any settings for this. Appreciate your help.
What rom are you running and what did you come from that didn't have that problem?

Hello XDA fellas,
Earlier, I was browsing in the S3 section, and someone has ported the S4 camera apk for S3, so without hesitation, I flashed it onto my phone.
Immediately when I reboot, my phone wouldn't go past the boot animation, so I thought... Okay, I will just flash my nandroid backup then.
But what I found out now is giving me a heart attack, my phone doesn't go into recovery, instead, it reboots if I hold down Power + Vol Up + Down for more than 4 secs... so fine... I went to Odins and reflashed CWM with a Stock Rom, but it's still not getting past the boot animation.
If anyone has any solution to this... I would appreciate it if you can share with me what you know.
Thanks.
You need to hold home, power, and volume up at the same time

Whenever the power key is held down for more than 4 seconds, the device reboots...
Hold all three... Power, volume up, and home and I think release when you see it say samsung

Recovery: home, vol up, and power, doesnt matter what order press at the same time.
Download mode : same as above except you push vol down not up.

I swear it tskes me like 5 to 7 sttrmpts befotm I can finally boot into recovery.

vol up + power = recovery mode
vol down + power = download mode
actually...took me a while to figure out too. i think every phone is different.
i hold power + volume up until i see the blue 'recovery booting' comes on, then i release the power button but still holding the volume up for about another 10sec or hold until i see recovery

If you hold volume up or down as the phone vibrates to restart or boot, you get recovery and download mode respectively. You don't even need to hold power. It's actually much easier than older Android phones. No secret, you're just doing it wrong. jk.
Give it a try though. Restart your phone, and as long as you're holding down the volume up button from the indicating vibration until the blue text shows up in the top left corner, then you can let go. Same goes for down for download mode, but it will immediately go to the warning screen.

The secret =
Keep holding it down till u see the Samsung Logo, then release.

if i let go of the volume when i see the blue logo only.. then it takes me to the stock recovery..or some other recovery so i kept thinking my recovery didn't get flashed. but what i had to do was just hold the volume key longer. ..until my recovery boots up.
this only applies to my recovery mode, i think it has to do with the ota update which had a root locked kernel.

Isn't it vol up + home + power for recovery and vol down + home + power for download mode?

No need for the home button. If you trigger a restart from the os, you don't even need the power button.
If you're on the ota and are having trouble rooting, go into download mode and flash a custom recovery tar. Then when it auto resets, hold down the vol up button until the blue text in the upper left corner appears on the galaxy s4 splash screen. Boom you're in custom recovery

When booting into recovery sometimes I get that warning screen in green why and what is that warning screen for why don't it automatically just boot into recovery since the phone is rooted.

Sounds like your going into download mode and not recovery. just hold volume up and hit restart on the phone.
Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum but this is kinda to do with apps.
Is there an app or something which lets you see the power menu? When you hold down the power button it shows the reboot menu(with recovery) power off airplane mode. My lock button is faulty and I cannot access this. Is there an alternative? Thanks a lot
