These are the steps to boot your Droid 2 phone into Recovery Mode should you need to.
1. Turn Droid 2 Off
2. Press 'X' on the physical keyboard and then Press and HOLD Power button until the Exclamation Point/Android picture shows(after motorola symbol).
3. To access menu options Press the "Search" button depicted by the Magnifying glass on the Keyboard and the menu items will show up.
4. Browse options with the Volume Up and Volume Down keys and select option with the Camera button all on side.
5. Select first option of "Reboot phone" or risk messing up your brand new Droid 2!
I can add a picture if someone requests it (any ideas of how to best take said picture?) I'm new the the forum so if this post is in the wrong place and/or someone else had provided the info just let me know. (I looked but you can never be too sure.)

Thanks for this info, it's very helpful... I also learned that to get into bootloader manually, power on the phone and hold the Keyboard UP key.
Nice to know.
Also, 'Safe Mode' (for killing third party apps stuck in force close loop at start up) is Power On and hold the Soft "Menu" (the four squares).
Another little tip.

I am assuming that if you have clockwork recovery it will boot into that correct?
I can only assume that also, I'm new to android hacking so from what I've read I think so but I'm not sure.
I'm sure a more experienced member could confirm.
This doesn't boot into clockwork at least on the D2. I tried it with koush's bootstrap installed and it just boots into the stock recovery. I might try to do it again just to confirm.

i have found to boot into boorstrap recovery is pull the battery out for a few seconds then power the phone on. I realized that whenever my phone died and i charged it and turned it back on it would always boot to clockwork

I don't know if it does it every time but when i hold my volume down rocker and the power button it boots into clockwork, give it a try
Sorry for the stupid question, but why do I need to do this? I'm new to Droid. Also, will this delete my data?
You don't really /need/ to do this it's just some information I thought would be helpful to put out there. Most people will never need to boot into the stock recovery.
If you decide to root your droid 2 then you will use koush's bootstrap to boot into clockwork recovery and make backups and install ROMs if you so choose.

this one in the image, ignore the red writing, what happen is if i select wipe cache or any other option it just freezes
i can access the menu with button combination, once in the menu i can go up and down with vol buttons but once i press home button goes to a android in triangle screen and stays like that. i downloaded the euro bootstrap from market and thats the main cause of everything.
Its Euro Tab Recovery Bootstrap i downloaded from market.
You select an option in CWM by pressing power.
If you still have the phone-pc icon, power off, go into download mode (home-vol down+power) connect the Tab to your PC, open Odin and flash a new firmware.
I had the exact same problem after a bad firmware flash

The Tab starts up fine and works fine, ok did what you said about pressing the home button few times it works now, i thought you had to press it once to execute.
All other phones I have give me the option to restart the phone, but not on the N4.
Is there a way to show the "Restart" option when the power button is long pressed without rooting and installing custom rom?
Thanks.
Short answer: Nope
The Restart/Reboot or even Boot to recovery is a feature of most Custom ROMs and is not built with Android.
But as the Nexus 4 has no handy battery to move you have to hold the power button for several secons which then reboot the phone. That should be the easiest way to solve your 'problem'.
HTC also includes those features in Sense in its power button options. It can be done with a fairly simple mod and eventually I'm sure someone will post one in the dev section if it not already in there.

I don't know why is it not in vanilla Android. HTC, Samsung phones have the option.
For me, I use the Restart button more than the "Power Off" button.
I use Power Toggles from the Play Store to restart, reboot and get to recovery.

I use an app called Quickboot. It gives you the option to reboot, reboot into bootloader, reboot into recovery, etc.
+1 for Quickboot...simple and effective!

Not without root. I answered you in the other thread that you posted this question in too, please don't double-post, it isn't allowed.
I am super new to rooting I mainly use it for PokemonGo. I am following this video on YouTube.
Basically when I flashed via Odin, I then install Magisk. Then everything is working and rooted BUT when I restart my phone my Magisk is then magically unrooted (I dont know if this is the right term) it says 'Magisk is not installed' and underneath that is says 'Magisk Manager is up to date'
So why does it keep doing this? Everytime this happens I need to Flash again via Odin and do the whole procedure again. This only happens when I restart the phone. Why does it keep doing this and how do I fix this? I will pay someone who can fix this for me. Ive been trying to figure out for the past day and Im going insane. I have no knowledge about rooting etc like i said i just want to play Pokemongo location spoofing.
Appreciate everyones help.
If you are on the stock ROM, you need to restart into recovery to activate Magisk.
Hi what is a stock rom and do I have that? What is this recovery? Sorry I am new

How do I do that?
You can press Power + Bixby + Volume Up then after seeing the bootloader warning screen, release all buttons so it can boot to the system.
You can also enable advanced restart in developer options.
Stock ROM is the one that comes with the phone.

Hi yes I remember doing the 'Power + Bixby + Volume Up' after flashing. So that part is done unless I'm doing something wrong?
What is this advance restart in developer options? Where is that and what does it do? If I do this what do I do after? Will this fix the Magisk not installed when I restart my phone? Also when I turn off my phone and turn it back on it works and it keeps Magisk so its just restarting the phone that is causing the problem.
Appreciate your help
So this topic is the same as the other one I replied to hence the "double vision" comment.
I believe you need to Power + Bixby + Volume Up every time you restart.
Advanced restart will allow you to enable rebooting into recovery (magisk mode), so you don't need to press the button combo, unless you need the actual recovery.
What guide did you use to install magisk?

If I press that when I restart phone then isn't that risky? If I mess up then I need to format my phone again to get magisk again?
Whats this advance rebooting? Will this fix my problem?
I followed this video https://youtu.be/o3a8YnWT3yk
Just looking at that video I'm not sure if advanced restart is an option on the stock ROM, i use LineageOS (custom ROM).
The button combo shouldn't be risky, if you hold it for too long just select the option to restart and try again.

I'm really confused so which part of the video am I suppose to do?
Since you already have magisk, you need to press the button combo every time you restart, if you want magisk.
Pressing the button combo activates magisk., and holding the button combo activates the recovery.

OK so everything I restart my phone I need to hold down bixy, volume up and power? When do i stop holding down the combo? Also let's say I mess up will my magisk not work or can I restart my phone again and do the combo or do I have to re flash via Odin and format phone? Sorry I just want to make sure because I've re flashed and formated my phone about 90000 times ?
Thank you
