1) Power on your tab...
2) when you see the Samsung screen logo...
3) press and hold the Power+VolumeUp button (4g LTE version) until you see the the Big Android icon on the right & Box and Little Android on the left... Let go of the buttons
4) Volume Up to change Icons...
5) Volume Down to select the Box+Android - will take you to recovery mode
Don't know if this works for the earlier WiFi only model - I'm a noob!
All that being said... When I was rooting my 10.1 LTE yesterday using a youtube video for the earlier wifi model (a very good video), the last reboot into recovery mode wouldn't go into recovery mode!!!?? Screen went blank and tab shuts down.
That's my question... does anyone know how to fix it to get into recovery mode? I can see and choose the Box+Android icon, but as soon as I volume down, the tab shuts down... no recovery mode!?
Will a Factory reset help?

I have I/O as well but could not figure this out. Only way I figured was to actually root the device and then go to market and download Rom Manager and then install the Recovery for GT10.1(this is an option) and then boot into recovery.
For me to not have a rooted and couldn't find any useful information so I had to pick one of 3.0.1 pre-rooted roms and start from there.
Good Luck

I noticed a lot of people having trouble booting into recovery mode from the phone. This is how to do it. With the phone turned off hold the power button +vol down button until you see the "Vibrant" logo on the screen. Once you see the logo, take your finger off the power button but keep pressing the vol down untill you see the recovery image. Ive tried every other way that people have posted and this is the only way I could get it to work. Sorry if this is already posted somewhere else but I couldnt find it. Hope this helps.
Open terminal emulator
Code:
su
reboot recovery
....Or are you not rooted yet?
And you have to hold its BOTH volume buttons not just volume down to boot into recovery.
- Hold both volume buttons
- Press power button
- When vibrant comes up, let go of power but continue to hold the two volume buttons
- Bam Recovery
I always let go of all the buttons when the Vibrant logo comes up, and it goes to recovery just fine.

I can second this. I am my own little vulcan deathgrip to press them all at the same time though, and still be able to release without dropping the phone.
You could also download quick reboot from the market for those already rooted, it has an option to reboot into recovery.

This ... or use the Reboot Into Recovery option from the Clockwork ROM Manager, which I would expect most Vibrant users to have right now if they're rooted.
What if none of this works?
I've a Vibrant (one week old) rooted. Clockwork installed KiNgxKernel-Vib-3-2.6.29.6 etc. However unless I use clockwork I can't get into recovery mode. Would really like to know a working key press combo if possible.
I read somewhere about some Vibrants being hardware locked. Assuming this is true perhaps that's what this phone is.
i have some issues with a vegacomb 3.2 in a booting into recovery. my device is Viewsonic Viewpad 10s. in first i'm update to bluetooth fixed problem. everything work fine untill i update and get some issues

To enter in recovery mode, use RomManager.

can't use ROM Manager to recovery too. WiFi can't connect and when it appear allow a superuser. a program become idle and didn't do anything
Sounds like a bad flash. I'd reflash modded stock v2, then boot to recovery and wipe user data/cache/dalvik and then reflash the full 8.1 ROM. This should make sure you have a working CWM and probably fix your wifi issue too.

NO! If you are using VC 3.2 you should avoid using the ROM manager provided recovery as it is for the wrong tablet (g tablet i think) and it WILL soft-brick your Vega.
I've soft bricked my vega using this exact method!
How do I unbrick please?

When you say "soft bricked", what exactly does the tab do when you turn it on??
Best way to recover is to power down tab, attach tab to computer with usb cable. Make sure tab is charged, or plugged in at the time. hold down the back button (top of tab, next to power button), then press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, then release it while you continue to hold the back button another 2 seconds, then release back button. Your screen should flash once quickly, then stay off.
Now, if everything worked, click on the Mod Stock icon on your computer. and after a little time it will start writing files to the tab. If it says device cant be found, you are not in recovery mode, try again the power/back button instructions, it may take a few times before you get tab into recovery.
There are more precise booting into recovery instructions if needed, just Google "rooting Advent tablet"
I'm assuming you already have the usb drivers, and the roms on your computer, and know how to use them.

This works offcourse, but I want to install VegaICE updates, which needs recovery acces in vegacomb (which is not possible for me).

I have exactly the same issue! I have Vegacomb and wanted to go to HoneyIce as my son can't get skype to work BUT i can't get into Recovery in order to update. Rom Manager just reboots and all i see is the 'Warning about free software' then it just boots into VegaRom.
Would love someone to help if possible?
Thanks in advance
I rooted my phone using the ODIN method. The phone was working fine. I installed CWM and when it asked which device to use I picked the SGSII on T-Mobile since the device was the closest. I selected to reboot to recovery and it went to blank screen. I can't even get to download mode. It just goes to the Samsung logo and keeps buzzing while I'm holding the volume keys and power button.
Anyone have any recommendations?
So to go to download mode you are using volume down + home + Power? just to make sure
No dont think its bricked, take out the battery for 5 min and reinsert it, then press simultaneously Home, Power and Volume Down button, you should be able to enter in download Mood.. try it few times... in parrallel from Recovery delete Delvik and do a factory reset (actually do this first to see)
after that flash a Stock Rom

Thank ZUES!!
I took out the battery waited a few. I tried to boot it up pressing the down and power key and it went into download mode. I redid the ODIN root and I was able to boot back into Android!
/PHEW
I was about to cry LOL
Ok it seems like the phone does not like rebooting to cwm. I tried to reboot into recovery and it went back to the same problem. Maybe the t-mobile recovery is still flashed?
Are you using rom manager? It does not support the galaxy note. Follow the guide to rooting etc in the dev section. (Sticky)

Does this apply for the ATT LTE Note?
You are in the wrong section if you owqn an AT&T Note. Completey seperate device.
Go to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note section in XDA
Nevermind, CWM is not currently supported for the ATT Note.
This forum doesn't currently support the AT&T Note. They have their own forum.
This is going to cause so many bricks, just like it did when the US versions of the SGS2 released.
THEY ARE DIFFERENT PHONES!!!
*Pops popcorn*
Just a quick FYI: CWM Rom Manager is incompatible with the N7000 as well, you shouldn't be using it!
I have three (3) Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 on my table.
I tried to enter recovery mode for all three that what happened:
The first Tab: Start up Logo says "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" was working well. I used CWM to enter recovery - it shut down and booted up to the mentioned Logo. Nothing else goes with this one anymore.
The second Tab: Startup Logo "i Robot" can not enter into recovery.
The third Tab: Startup Logo just "android" no problem to enter recovery with power + volume.
Conclusion(?): As I have tried ALL possible combinations with power and volume ( the i.Robot) even has a hard home button) the first and the second Tab can not enter into recovery. Is it possible, that there are Tabs without recovery function?

To enter recovery, you need to hold down power, home, and vol+
If you try that and get the robot logo again, try the other volume button, it sounds like you might be mixing them up
No recovery?

thanks for your reply. But please read the questions carefully before your reply. I am fully aware of how to enter the recovery mode. I have done this with various devices. My question was if someone knows if there are devices/models which do not have recovery mode at all. I have two devices, tried all button combinations even with different sequence. However i can not enter into recovery at all....

Thanks sub77. I can do that with the Tab that starts, but I have one that, after trying to reboot into recovery from the CWM app it just goes to the startup logo and no further. The hard button as mentioned don't work and ADB is useless if the phone does not start....

You need go to download mode and flash your firmware via Odin
The Tab will not allow to go into Download mode the minute it boots up the screen you saw is coming up. How else can i get into download mode?

Turn off your tablet and now turn it on in Download Mode (press Home + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time until the tablet turns on, then when prompted, press Volume Up button to proceed)

In the evening I try it, but I think the result will be the same
I am having same issue. Does anybody have a solution to this other than "hold down power, home, volume and enter recovery menu", this doesn't work. Is there a link to flash stock ROM through Odin somewhere out there?
