I got a GS2 from a friend who never rooted his device. I flashed TWRP with Odin and I can't seem to be able to boot into recovery. I can get into download mode. I have tried searching but can't find anything that will help me. Is there an Odin flashable version of SuperSU?

To boot into recovery:
- Make sure the S2 is UNPLUGGED
- Hold in both volume buttons and the power button
- Wait until you feel a vibration and wait 2 more seconds
- Release the power button. Keep holding volume for a second.
- Release all buttons

Worked perfectly. Thanks.

Yea, the title almost says it all;
After I changed the screen on my GN the volume down button is not functioning (1 of the 3 solderings is loose).
That was not much of a problem since I could just turn the volume down with the slider that appears, when pressing the volume up button.
BUT
I was too excited to try out the Optimus 4X lockscreen, so I flashed it and ended in a bootloop.
And since my volume down button is broken, I ask:
How do I get into recovery to perform a restore?
...srsly?
recovery is vol up+power, not vol down+power.

Afaik, without volume down button working you cannot enter bootloader OR download (Odin) mode. So basically, all you can do is try to fix the soldering.

Are you sure? Vol up + power button doesn't boot recovery for me.
If u are not in bootloop mode u can just using adb command to reboot into recovery. But if u are having bootloop then u have to enter download mode and flash with odin. I forgot what button is power+volume up, but any mode whether it's download mode or recovery mode are not a problem in android world

Yea, that is what I'm afraid of because I don't have any soldering equipment..
You can plug in and see if she's getting far enough in for an "adb reboot bootloader" but I'm not sure if that'll work.
Worth a shot!
Recovery is volume up + down + power. Volume up + power is Odin.

Can't you Odin push a ROM to the phone? And when you get in download ROM manager and recover your backup.

Sorry for the misspeak. Volume down +power is Odin and volume up + down + power is fastboot, which will get you to recovery.

No, because he cannot get into the bootloader, download mode OR recovery because of a faulty volume down key.

For adb to work, he must either boot into android or a custom recovery. He cannot do either.

My bad, I forgot his phone is in bootloop. So this means no hope? It's so horrible because my galaxy gio have a not working volume up and down, this means I can't make it bootloop or I'll end up dead like him

EDIT: I bought one and it works perfectly!
Brand new Note 2 tonight, I just rooted it. But silly me, how the heck do I get into recovery the first time ? Normally I'd have the power menu option, but not yet. I am confused how to restart into recovery.
I tried hold the power button + vol down key, nothing
Power + Volume Up + Home after the phone completely shut down.
Since you're rooted download Quick Boot from PlayStore... there's an option to reboot into Recovery partition without the 3-button process.

If your only rooted you still need to install a recovery that's not stock. Either CWM or twrp of your planning on doing any flashing of roms.

Just get rom manager? If you don't want an app that does it for you, power off the phone then hold power+volume up+home

First, I'll admit I made a mistake. I installed the wrong version of Gapps when I install CM10 and therefore the phone wouldn't boot to setup. However, when I attempted to get back to stock to recover, the phone now gets stuck at the 4th boot screen with the pulsating Samsung. I can only get to Download mode, but I can't seem to get back to CWM Recovery. I have tried reflashing CWM Recovery with Odin, but I still can't get anywhere but to Download mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are stuck and can't get into recovery than you'll have to Odin back to stock there are stickies in these forums on how to do that.
If you can get into recovery and you are just not using the right button combo (vol up + power + home button) than flashing the proper gapps and wiping cache and davlik should fix the issue.

I have attempted to flash back to stock, and Odin reports that it was successful, but it still returns to the same point in the boot sequence and hangs.
When I use Power + Home + Volume Up, I get to the precursor screen for the Download Mode, not CWM Recovery Mode.
Any suggestions as to another way to force my way into recovery mode? I assumed that would be my way out, but I can't seem to get there.

Hold Volume up&home +power until the phone vibrates, then let go of just the power button (continue holding vol up&home).
Once you're in recovery you can flash a different rom, restore a backup, etc.

Make sure your battery is charged to at least 70%. Once done try entering recovery again by holding down vol up + power + home key at the same time until you see the blue text on the upper left hand corner and then let go. If this doesn't work you should be able to enter download mode with vol down + power + home key. If so I'd recommend flashing back to complete stock using ODIN on your pc and start from scratch.

I think people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Press the power button. When the phone vibrates, release it. Hold home+vol up until you see the recovery booting blue text, then release those.
Holding the power button puts the phone in a boot loop. Something I used to do on occasion until I learned it in fact didn't need to be held at all.
you can do this too...wipe data and factory...sometimes happening when i flasshing via odin

Gapps grab what pertain to the rom you are trying (4.2.2 rom --> 4.2.2 gapps)

You have to press Volume UP + HOME + power during about 5 ou 10sec until you see the Samsung screen. Not Volume UP + Volume Down in the same time.

Thanks!! but i have tried that too still same result the samsung galaxy note2 screen keep flashing again and again every every 5-6 seconds....once i release keys the samsung galaxy note 2 screen becomes constant....will have to remove the battery in end to shut it down...
You should try to flash a stock ROM with odin, not only the recovery. But i'm not sure of that, just wait until an expert help you.
