[Help] How to boot to download mode when Philz recovery is installed? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Model: S4 i9506 SHV E300S from SK Telecom in Korea.
I have a Philz recovery installed because I wanted to root my phone but it doesn't work so i want to change it with Chenglu's CWM recovery but i don't know how. When i press Vol up+ Home button + power button at the same time, it goes to recovery mode. How can i change it then to download mode and how to remove Philz recovery to install Chenglu's? Thank you!

Turn phone off and press Volume down + power

Recovery Wont Work

I've tried everything and I cannot boot into recovery on my S4(GT-9505).
I have reverted to the stock firmware for my carrier using Odin, and installed CWM and held the three buttons until the screen came on and let go of them. Still, black screen, then reboot. What can I do?
Yes when I first flashed recovery I had same issue, to fix I just reflashed again and all was good.

I flashed Philz recovery for the 50th time and it worked.
Keep trying, don't let the aching fingers bring you down!
SOLVED!
The easiest way to boot to recovery is:
Hold volume up+power button
When you see blue writing release power button but keep volume up button pressed.
Hold volume up until recovery boots
Easy as that

Cannot go to recovery mode

Hello everyone.
Every time after installing custom ROM i couldn't go to recovery mode using vol up and power key. Any solution plz. Thanks in advance.
You have got to press all three keys to get into recovery: Vol. up + Vol. down + Power
For going recovery pls press all three buttons vol+ vol- and power button
Or you can use advance reboot option in most of the ROM for going to recovery.
For it long press power button
Then select reboot it will give option for recovery soft reboot etc
If there is no advanced reboot option you can download it from Google play & apk name is ' reboot menu widget '
You have to install through ADM tools.

TWRP without Home Button? G935FD

I want to flash TWRP on my S7 Edge with a broken home button. I can't boot immediately to recovery from download because my key combos are as follows
Download Mode - Vol Down + Home Button + Power Button
Recovery Mode - Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button
If anyone wants to know, I can go into download from system via ADB. Is there anyway for my PC to detect my phone to boot to recovery via ADB while in download?
