[SOLVED] [Q] Can't get into Recovery Mode using hard keys, any ideas?

I have a rooted phone with stock ROM (havent flashed any customs yet) with Super User and Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I can get into Recovery Mode by using the option in ROM Manager but I want to be able to get into it from a powered off state using the Volume Up + Power button as would be required if my OS was trashed and I couldnt get into ROM Manager.
I can get into ODIN mode using Volume Down + Power button so not sure whats up here. Is there a knack to it any different than going into ODIN mode?

Press on the middle of the volume rocker until both sides are depressed.

Thanks!! I have managed it in the past but thought I had pressed Volume Up! Wonder why its volume up and down together, when volume up on its own doesnt seem to be mapped to anything. Nevermind! Thanks again!

lol glad you got there

Doesn't Vol Up + Vol Down + Power get into fastboot?
Is there no way to get directly into recovery?

I dont think so. Recovery is only a couple of presses away once you're in fast boot mode anyway.

Only Odin Mode available when booting with vol+ and power on.

Hello everyone,
when I boot my phone into recovery mode, there is only one option available: Odin Mode. It says "downloading. do not turn off...".
I can get into CWM through RomManager and everything else works fine. Just flashed Jelly Bean an hour ago.
I had to replace my USB port some days ago and this issue was present before the port was changed. So I thought it had something to do with that.
It would only become an issue when the phone would be in a bootloop...
How can I "force" the phone out of OdinMode? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I just pull the battery.
Volume up + volume down + power is to get to bootloader

Thanks. I messed something up there...
Still use a HTC Desire S/Saga as a second phone and there it's vol & power for bootloader and vol+, vol- & power for hardware reset.

Bricked Nokia N1

Hello, i have bought a nokia n1 with the chinese firmware and i have followed this tutorial for install the taiwan firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/noki...t3083115/page4 #39 .
When i have reboot my tablet after entered this command " dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/by-name/system (/pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 ", my tablet does'nt boot and stuck at powered by android. I can have adb and fastboot command but i don't know how i can restore my tablet. Anyone can help me ?
Sorry for my bad english and thanks you

If you have ADB access, you can run:
adb reboot recovery
After that you could reinstall using ADB sideload and this file : http://ota-service.oss.fc811.com/upl...&sn=L123456789
My N1 won't give me adb access, so I'm in a worse state than you

Hello i have resolve the problem by sideload the full rom (A5CN507) but i have don't use adb for boot into the bootloader i have press the volume down + power button and then go to recovery.
Did you try to boot into the bootloader with volume down + power button ?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for mentioning. I have tried with volume down + power hundreds of times and my device refuses to go into bootloader. =/
I'm sure I could unbrick the same way you were able to, if i could just get into bootloader one time!

I had some trouble booting straight to the bootloader as well.
I don't know if this helps but anyway: After you power off the device, press and hold the power and vol- buttons. When you see the "Powered by Android" logo, let go of the power button but keep holding the vol- button. The tablet should boot into bootloader mode. I initially made the mistake of holding both buttons the whole time.

Thanks for the tip, i will try that. When I last tried, if I held any button at all, the tablet would never show the "powered by android" screen. It would only show it right after i released all buttons.

v500 Stuck Bootlooping - Cant Access TWRP

Hi all,
Have a brand new (to me) v500 that i bought and was able to root, flash twrp, and flash crdroid on yesterday. Today i flashed standard AOSP but now i'm stuck in a bootloop and cant figure out how to access twrp any more. Previously with crdroid on it i was accessing the bootloader/twrp via an app. So far all i can get to come up using hardware buttons is the download mode, and ADB isn't recognizing the device.
Any advice? I tried following a guide to revert to stock using the LG Support Tool but cant find the R&D tools to complete the tutorial.
Any help is appreciated.

Bump - $10 USD to whoever can help me solve this first

To enter twrp via buttons on v500:
Press and hold Power Button + Volume Down
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only
Now press and hold the Power and Volume Up button while keeping your hold on the Volume Down button
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons
Follow On Screen Indications to make factory reset, but instead you enter twrp

Using that combination of buttons doesnt bring up any menus, i see the LG logo and then either holding the power button shuts down the tablet or it tries booting into Android, which then loops.

Thanks for the link, so far i havent been able to get my computer to recognize the usb connection when in download mode. I'm using the OEM cable and downloaded the drivers in the LG Flash Tool thread, but no luck.

b0li gave an invalid TWRP entry instruction.
Read How to enter recovery mode using key combination post #2.
In TWRP, do advanced wipe without internal storage.
Before you flash the ROM, check its checksum carefully to see if it is identical to the one on the server.

I tried the corrected key combination, but no menus pop up, I either hold the power and vol up/down buttons until the device turns itself off, or it boots to the Android logo and then loops.

It turns off because you hold 3 keys and don't release them.
You must press them simultaneously and then release them immediately.

That did the trick, can't believe it was just because i wasn't pressing the keys exactly right. I was able to get back into TWRP and reflash the ROM so now everything is working. Still having trouble getting usb to recognize the device, so i can't flash anything else on there at the moment.
PM me your paypal or venmo

Perhaps the problem is not the usb socket or cable.
Blow out the socket with compressed air and try again.
If that doesn't work, then your OS may be a problem.
In this case, try [LIVE-ISO][FWUL]adb/fastboot without any installation and driver issues.

I tried another computer too, same result - the tablet recognizes the connection so it starts charging, and despite the USB settings in dev options being set for MTP, it doesn't connect.
I'll try your link later, but it seems like its a problem with the tablet compared to computer.

You can always transfer data using microSD or via WiFi tethering.
If via WiFi, I recommend the SwiFTP server - simple and reliable.

I tried to update Lineage and am running into an issue now where as soon as the LG logo pops up, a message that says "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify" pops up almost immediately so I can't use the hardware buttons to get into TWRP. Any ideas around this one? Thanks again all!

Just upgraded to latest Magisk from the App, now stuck at boot screen HELP!

Reboot to EDL/BROM (search for right key combination) and reflash ROM using SP Flash Tool. Then flash latest Magisk

I have let the phone run down battery, pressed vol up and power, but still nothing.

I have already tried key combinations, but still the same.

@hainguyenthao helped me out. Showed me how to get into downlaod mode without pressing power and vol down!
Let the phone power down, leave it for 30 mins or so. then press vol up and vol down and insert USB cable.
OR if phone is in bootloop, press vol down and power till phone reboots, then VERY quickly hold down vol up and vol down and plug in USB cable

Dude, To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable.
But for your problem you have to put your device in recovery mode then flash ROM. Still the problem continues, you can try this download link

I've the same problem with my Note 10+... Was on Dr. Ketan Rom and update with magisk app ends in a boot loop, I couldn't break -.-
@vinokirk could you solve the problem?
Edit: Thanks to @starpandi2004 - on the first try I can break the bootloop, but just to the first screen. After choosing download mode, it comes bootloop again -.-
Is it worth to try to lock bootloader and factory reset phone? What will happen? Is the original rom somewhere packed and would be installed again by factory reset?

Bro what about TWRP recovery? can you able access it...
if yes then dirty flash KETAN ROM..it will solve...

just had same same problem.
i connected mine to the pc and use power+up volume until twrp appeear and them restores from last backup

I got the simplest solution for this issue!
If u r stuck on Samsung logo, then try this method.
Turn off the phone by pressing vol down and power button. Once the phone is shut down, release and press again the vol down and power button when u see Samsung note 10 plus screen, then release the power button but keep pressing vol down. Once u see the "Samsung" logo, immediately release the vol down button and quickly press vol up button.
This will boot up without any problem!
