You could just do adb reboot recovery when it's booted.. much simpler than random button combinations (I've never got those to work either).

You can do this by holding both volume up and volume down together when powering on. Then you use the volume rocker to select recovery option.

Actually it's just vol down + power.
I ended up in download mode last time I tried vol up + vol down + power

Thanks I thought those combinations brought you into fast boot.. I guess what your saying it's from there you can select recovery....

There's a bug currently. Power it off, plug it into your computer with usb, boot into fast boot then enter recovery.
Or you could reboot into recovery with cwm or quick boot

Download quick boot - lets you soft boot into recovery. Yeah it's a paid up but it helps minimize button wear if you are a flashaholic.

already done it but im still at somesort of stock recovery what should i do next?
When you say stock recovery do you mean the bootloader, if so toggle the vol button until it says recovery then hit the power button, hopefully Twrp will boot, if not try one of the tools in the dev,s section to do a full stock recovery from your pc

[Q] Factory Reset

Hello, i have a htc one x, and i'm looking for a Nexus 4 with the broken screen. I will change the glass, but the phone has a password to enter. I can enter in bootloader pressing POWER + VOLUME+ button and make a factory reset, like in htc devices??
Thank you!
Volume down and power button to enter in recovery mode.

But, it comes with Recovery?
Because in HTC, we have the booatloader, and have to install the recovery after.
It comes with recovery. You can wipe data, cache and other things.

No command recovery screen

I have a brand new nexus 7 and I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted. I'm trying to sideload the kitkat update but whenever I try to boot into recovery it brings up the no command screen in recovery . From there I tried holding power and volume up and it just boots into the same screen that says no command. Is an unlocked bootloader required to sideload or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Did you try holding the power button and just tap the volume up button instead of holding it? Should work, it's what I did and it got me into recovery to finish the side load

Press a key (Vol+ or power or.. ) and you should see some options to choose. I was hanging at the same point when I was rooting my device...

That's what I needed to do. Thanks. Everything works fine now.

CWM Hardware Buttons on Boot

I can access CWM through the Rebooter app but cannot access it via the Vol Pwr+ combo on boot. I have probably tried 50 times. The phone ends up turning off every time. Is it possible that CWM did not install correctly? Should I flash the zip version of CWM to see if this fixes the problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

So what combo did you use? Pwr+vol down, on lg splash screen release and press again those, and in the reset screen press power twice. It'll boot into recovery instead of reseting.
